  3. The Report may be used only by the purchasing Individual User and may not be shared with another person or organization.

3.2 Enterprise Purchase

  1. An Enterprise Purchase permits authorized Enterprise Users within one purchasing organization to access the purchased Report, solely to the extent stated in the order, invoice, proposal, or written license.
  2. Access is limited to authorized direct employees of the purchasing organization. Access does not extend to affiliates, subsidiaries, contractors, consultants, suppliers, customers, or partners unless expressly authorized in writing.

3.3 Individual Subscription

  1. An Individual Subscription grants one Individual User access to eligible Reports for the subscription period stated at purchase, ordinarily one year.
  2. Credentials and Reports obtained through an Individual Subscription may not be shared.

3.4 Enterprise Subscription

  2. Enterprise access remains limited to the subscribing organization and does not extend to third parties or affiliated legal entities unless expressly authorized in writing.

3.5 Complimentary Reports

  1. The Company may make certain Reports available without monetary payment as part of its email-marketing program. Access requires registration, submission of the requested contact or professional information, acceptance of these Terms, and affirmative agreement to receive Marketing Communications from ENERGYDM.
  2. A Complimentary Report is licensed, not sold. The recipient receives a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to use it solely for the recipient’s individual, internal, and non-commercial informational purposes.
  3. A Complimentary Report may not be copied, reproduced, modified, transmitted, shared, disclosed, distributed, published, posted online, uploaded to a shared drive, database, artificial-intelligence training repository, document-management system, or other multi-user resource, resold, sublicensed, commercially exploited, or made available to another person or organization, in whole or in part, without prior written consent.
  4. Receipt of a Complimentary Report does not transfer ownership or grant intellectual-property rights beyond the limited license in these Terms.
  5. Information submitted in connection with a Complimentary Report is processed as described in the Privacy Policy.
  6. Complimentary Reports are offered as part of ENERGYDM’s email-marketing program. To receive a Complimentary Report, the User must separately and affirmatively agree to receive Marketing Communications from ENERGYDM. If the User does not agree, the User will not be eligible to receive the Complimentary Report.
  7. The User may unsubscribe from future Marketing Communications at any time through the unsubscribe mechanism in marketing emails or by contacting the Company. Unsubscribing will not affect the User’s right to retain a Complimentary Report already lawfully received, but all copyright, license, permitted-use, and redistribution restrictions will remain effective.
  8. The Company may suspend or revoke access if it reasonably believes a recipient violated these Terms, provided materially inaccurate registration information, or accessed or used a Report without authorization.
  9. The Company may modify, replace, or discontinue a Complimentary Report or promotion at any time, subject to applicable law.

4. License and Permitted Use

Subject to the applicable acquisition method and continued compliance with these Terms, the Company grants the User a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the applicable Report solely for the permitted purposes stated in these Terms and any applicable order. No purchase, subscription, registration, or complimentary access transfers ownership of a Report or its underlying intellectual-property rights.

Unless expressly authorized in writing, Reports may not be copied, modified, reproduced, printed for distribution, transmitted, disclosed, published, posted, shared, sold, sublicensed, reverse engineered, used to build a competing product, incorporated into a commercial deliverable, or used to train or enhance an artificial-intelligence or machine-learning system.

5. Accounts and Security

  1. Users are responsible for the accuracy of registration information and for maintaining the confidentiality of login credentials and access links.
  2. Credentials are personal to the authorized User and may not be shared.
  3. Suspected unauthorized access or security incidents must be reported promptly to Support@ENERGYDMGroup.com.

6. Payments, Renewals, and Refunds

  1. Purchases and subscriptions must be paid in full before access is granted unless the Company agrees otherwise in writing.
  2. If automatic renewal applies, the renewal timing and price will be disclosed at purchase. The User may cancel before the renewal date using the stated cancellation method.
  3. Because Reports are digital products, purchases and renewals are final and non-refundable after access or delivery, except where required by applicable law or expressly agreed in writing.
  4. Failed or rejected payments may result in delayed or suspended access. Any fee charged for a failed payment must be disclosed and permitted by applicable law.

7. Intellectual Property

All Reports and their contents, including copyrighted text, research, analysis, data compilations, graphics, images, tables, charts, methodologies, forecasts, designs, and proprietary insights, are owned by or licensed to the Company and protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Unauthorized use may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be inadequate. The Company may seek injunctive relief and any other remedies available under applicable law.

8. Third-Party Materials

Company names, trademarks, logos, products, services, and other third-party materials referenced in Reports remain the property of their respective owners. References are for informational purposes and do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, recommendation, or affiliation unless expressly stated.

9. Disclaimers

Reports are provided for general informational, research, and educational purposes and do not constitute legal, financial, investment, accounting, engineering, safety, regulatory, or other professional advice. Forecasts, estimates, opinions, technological evaluations, and market analyses are inherently uncertain. Users are responsible for independent verification and for determining suitability for their purposes.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, REPORTS AND THE PORTAL ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AUTHORS, CONSULTANTS, AND SUBCONTRACTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A REPORT, THE PORTAL, OR RELIANCE ON THEIR CONTENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY RELATING TO A PARTICULAR REPORT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY THE USER FOR THAT REPORT DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. FOR A COMPLIMENTARY REPORT, THE AGGREGATE LIMIT SHALL BE US$100. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law.

11. Suspension and Termination

The Company may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, suspected misuse, payment failure, security risk, or conduct that may harm the Company, another User, or a third party. Upon termination, the license ends and the User must cease using and delete all copies, except where retention is required by law.

12. Privacy and Marketing

Personal Information is handled in accordance with the Company’s Privacy Policy. To receive a Complimentary Report, the User must separately and affirmatively agree to receive Marketing Communications from ENERGYDM. If the User does not agree, the User will not be eligible to receive the Complimentary Report. The User may unsubscribe from future Marketing Communications at any time. Unsubscribing will not affect the User’s right to retain a Complimentary Report already lawfully received, but all copyright, license, permitted-use, and redistribution restrictions will remain effective.

13. Electronic Acceptance

Selecting an acceptance checkbox, completing registration, submitting a download form, creating an account, purchasing a Report, or accessing a Report after being presented with these Terms constitutes electronic acceptance and, where permitted, an electronic signature. The Company may retain records of acceptance, including date and time, Terms version, applicable transaction or registration, and related technical records.

14. Changes to These Terms

The Company may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Portal, by email, or by another reasonable method where required. Updated Terms apply prospectively from their stated effective date, except where applicable law permits otherwise.

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to non-waivable consumer rights and other applicable law, disputes shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Michigan, and the parties consent to their jurisdiction and venue.

16. General Provisions

If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. The User may not assign rights under these Terms without written consent. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any applicable written order constitute the entire agreement concerning the Reports and supersede prior understandings on that subject.
