Terms of Service

Last updated:

1. About these terms

These terms of service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website https://ecointel.io, the EcoIntel platform at https://app.ecointel.io, and any associated services (together the “Service”) operated by Ecological Intelligence Ltd (“EcoIntel”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a company registered in England and Wales (company number 16866497), with registered office at Brimbles, Ashburton, Newton Abbot, England, TQ13 7HU.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Alpha release and Founding Members programme

Development status

EcoIntel is currently in alpha development. The platform, website, and all associated services are under active development and testing. The system may contain significant bugs and has not yet been fully calibrated. Features, data outputs, scoring methodologies, and the user interface may change substantially without notice.

Founding Members

Access to EcoIntel during the alpha phase is provided exclusively through our Founding Members programme. Founding Members acknowledge and accept that:

  • The platform is a work in progress and is not yet suitable for production or operational use.
  • Data outputs, scores, and assessments may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unreliable.
  • The system may experience downtime, errors, or data loss.
  • Features may be added, modified, or removed at any time.
  • No service-level agreements (SLAs) apply during the alpha phase.

Educational and illustrative use only

All information, data, scores, maps, and outputs provided through EcoIntel at this stage are for educational and illustrative purposes only. They are provided to demonstrate the platform’s capabilities and approach, and must not be relied upon for any commercial, regulatory, investment, or decision-making purpose.

EcoIntel is not a Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system. The data and outputs we provide are indicative information for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute verified measurements, certified reports, or validated assessments.

3. Your account

To use the EcoIntel platform you must create an account. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorised use.

You must be at least 18 years old and have the authority to bind any organisation on whose behalf you sign up.

4. Subscriptions, billing and Founding-Member pricing

Founding-Member plans

Our Founding-Member plans are offered at the rates published on https://ecointel.io/pricing. Two launch discount codes are currently active, one for each plan:

  • FOUNDINGMONTHLY50 applies to Monthly subscriptions only — gives 50% off the first month (£27.50 instead of £55). From month 2 onwards the subscription continues at the standard Monthly rate (£55/month at the time of writing).
  • FOUNDINGANNUAL50 applies to Annual subscriptions only — gives 50% off the annual subscription (£300/year instead of £600), and that rate is locked for the life of the subscription. While your Annual subscription remains active and continuous, your renewal price will not change from £300/year.

If you start on Monthly and later upgrade to Annual, you may apply FOUNDINGANNUAL50 at the time of upgrade to lock the £300/year rate for the life of the upgraded Annual subscription.

The previous launch code FOUNDINGMEMBER50 has been retired and is no longer accepted at checkout. We may from time to time offer further promotional codes or loyalty campaigns; any such offers will be communicated to active subscribers and published on the pricing page.

Payment

Payment is processed by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. By subscribing you authorise us to charge the payment method you provide on the cadence of your chosen plan (monthly or annually).

VAT

Prices shown exclude VAT. UK customers pay 20% VAT on top. EU and Australian business customers may enter a valid VAT number or ABN at checkout for reverse-charge (0% VAT). Customers in other jurisdictions are responsible for their own local tax compliance.

Cancellation

Monthly subscriptions may be cancelled at any time and will run to the end of the paid month. Annual subscriptions renew yearly and may be cancelled before renewal. Annual subscribers who cancel forfeit the Founding-Member rate lock; re-subscribing at a later date is at the then-current pricing. We do not refund part-used periods except where required by law.

5. Acceptable use

You may not:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or in a way that infringes another person’s rights.
  • Reproduce, distribute, or republish any content from the Service without our prior written consent.
  • Use any data, scores, maps, or outputs from the Service in any commercial product or service without a licence agreement.
  • Modify or create derivative works based on our content.
  • Use data mining, scraping, or similar automated data collection methods on the Service.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the platform.
  • Interfere with the proper functioning of the Service or attempt to gain unauthorised access.

6. Accessing the Service

We do not guarantee that the Service, or any content on it, will always be available or uninterrupted. We may suspend, withdraw, or restrict the availability of all or any part of the Service for business or operational reasons.

You are responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Service through your account are aware of these Terms and comply with them.

7. Intellectual property

All content on the Service — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, data visualisations, maps, software, ecological data outputs, scoring methodologies, the Land Health Score and the EcoDynamics Engine — is the property of Ecological Intelligence Ltd or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Subject to your continuing compliance with these Terms, EcoIntel grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your own internal land-management purposes during the term of your subscription.

8. Your data

You retain ownership of the property data you upload to the platform. You grant EcoIntel a non-exclusive licence to process that data for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy — principally to produce the analytics reports you have purchased and to improve the Service. We do not sell your data.

On account closure your data will be retained and deleted in accordance with the retention schedule in the Privacy Policy.

9. Ecological data and information

Educational and illustrative only

The ecological data, scores, assessments, and information presented through the Service are provided for educational and illustrative purposes only during the alpha phase. They do not constitute professional ecological, environmental, legal, financial, or investment advice.

No reliance

You must not rely on information from the Service when making decisions about land management, investment, planning, development, or environmental compliance. Always seek independent professional advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

Data limitations

Our ecological data and assessments:

  • Are derived from remote sensing and publicly available datasets, which have inherent limitations in resolution, accuracy, and currency.
  • Represent modelled estimates, not ground-truthed field surveys.
  • Have not yet been fully calibrated and may contain significant inaccuracies.
  • May not reflect the most recent changes to land use or ecological conditions.
  • Are provided as an indicative screening tool for educational purposes, not as a definitive assessment.

See our full Disclaimer for further details.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for your convenience only. We have no control over the content of those sites and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage arising from your use of them.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations, or other terms that may apply to the Service or any content on it.
  • We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising from or in connection with: use of, or inability to use, the Service; use of or reliance on any content displayed on the Service; or any ecological data, scores, or assessments provided through the Service.
  • Our total liability to you for any claim arising in connection with the Service shall not exceed the fees paid by you to us in the twelve months preceding the claim.

This does not affect any liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ecological Intelligence Ltd, its directors, officers, and employees from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or misuse of the Service.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, for any reason, on reasonable notice. We may suspend or terminate immediately without notice if you materially breach these Terms. You may close your account at any time via the account settings.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes relating to these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

15. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms at any time by updating this page. Material changes will be communicated to active subscribers by email. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
