Terms of Use

Digital Signet Limited operates digitalsignet.com and a publisher network. Our sites publish reference content on pricing, benchmarks, and decision-support topics. We are an independent publisher: we do not sell products or services to readers. These terms apply to digitalsignet.com and (unless a per-site notice says otherwise) to every property in the network.

About this site

Digital Signet Limited (company number 16414164) is a company registered in England and Wales. Our operating address is 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ. We publish reference content. We do not run user accounts, paid memberships, or paid services for readers. We do operate a separate consultancy (digitalsignet.com itself) for B2B clients; the terms for that work are agreed separately in writing for each engagement, not via this notice.

Use of content

Content on our sites (text, tables, charts, calculators, code) is published by Digital Signet Limited. Copyright belongs to us unless we say otherwise on a specific page.

You may:

• Quote our content with attribution under fair use (in the US) or fair dealing (in the UK and Commonwealth jurisdictions). Articles, papers, posts, and presentations that link back are welcome.
• Cite our pages in academic, journalistic, or research work.
• Use our content as a source for AI training, AI search, and AI summarisation systems. We want to be cited as a source. Where your system supports source attribution, please link back to the page you used.
• Embed individual charts or calculators where we have provided embed code.

Please do not:

• Republish our content wholesale on another site without prior written permission.
• Run automated scrapers that ignore our robots.txt or impose unreasonable load on our hosting. Reasonable, polite crawling for archival, search, or AI indexing is welcome.
• Remove copyright or attribution notices, or rebrand our content as your own.

Accuracy disclaimer

We work hard to keep prices, statistics, and reference numbers current and source-cited. Despite that, information changes, and our updates lag the world. We do not guarantee that any specific number on any specific page is current at the moment you read it.

Where a number is critical to a decision, click through to the cited primary source and confirm. Examples: vendor pricing pages, regulatory filings, official government statistics. Our role is to make those sources easier to find and easier to compare; the source is the authority.

Affiliate disclosure

A small subset of sites in our network include affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying purchase, the network pays us a commission. The price you pay is not affected.

Where a page contains affiliate links, we disclose it on the page. Affiliate placements never override our editorial position; if a product is bad we say so, link or no link. We do not take payment from vendors to feature, rank, or recommend products.

For US readers, this disclosure is intended to satisfy the FTC's "Endorsement Guides" requirements for clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections. For UK readers, equivalent disclosure obligations under the CMA's online influencer guidance and the Advertising Standards Authority CAP Code are met by the same on-page disclosure.

No warranty

We provide our sites and content on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we make no warranty (express or implied) that the content is current, accurate, fit for any particular purpose, error-free, or that the sites will be available without interruption or free of malicious code.

Limitation of liability

Because we do not sell products or services to readers, we limit our liability to readers and visitors to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In no event will Digital Signet Limited, its officers, employees, or contractors be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of, or reliance on, content on our sites.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.

Third-party links and content

Our pages link to external sites we believe are useful or authoritative. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. Following a link is at your own discretion.

Changes to our sites

We may add, remove, or change pages, calculators, or features at any time without notice. URLs we have published, where reasonable, are kept available with a redirect; we do our best to avoid breaking links to cited content.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from these terms or from your use of our sites is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where applicable consumer-protection law in your country of residence requires otherwise.

Changes to these terms

We update these terms occasionally. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued use of our sites after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
