These terms of use (the “License Agreement”) is a legal License Agreement between Trademark Comparables AG (“TCAG” or “Us”) and you (“You” or “User”), and this License Agreement governs your use of the services (including database searching, transmission, organizing, statistical analysis, etc. – the “Services”) and content (including all data, text, graphics, transmissions, photographs, news, statistics, logos, etc. – the “Content”) provided on our website www.markables.net (the “Site”). If You do not agree to the terms of use of this License Agreement, You should immediately cease all usage of the Services, Content and Site.
TCAG reserves the right, at any time, to modify, alter, or update the terms of use of this License Agreement without prior notice. Modifications shall become effective immediately upon being posted at the Site. Your continued use of the Services after amendments are posted constitutes an acknowledgment and acceptance of the License Agreement and its modifications.
Please read this License Agreement carefully. By clicking on the “I Agree – Create my account” button”, or by continuing to use this Site after your initial registration, You are binding yourself as the Licensee to the terms of this License Agreement.
Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the Site and the Services and which is integral part of this License Agreement.
ACCESS TO THE SITE
You agree to provide complete and accurate information in your registration process, and You agree not to provide any registration information that is false, misleading or incorrect. You also agree to notify us if any of your registration information changes. If at any time we have any reason to believe that any of your registration information is inaccurate, untrue, incomplete or otherwise incorrect, we reserve the right to terminate this License Agreement and terminate your access and use of the Site and our Services. By accessing the Services and Content via the Site You represent and warrant that You are an authorized User. You will take all precautions to maintain the security of your password.
CONTENT
Our Content is based on publicly available data from the financial reporting of public companies, from corporate press releases, from websites and from other information in the public domain, which we deem reliable sources. TCAG may make modifications and/or changes in this Site or in the Content at any time and for any reason. Our Content is updated on a regular basis. TCAG endeavors to provide the most accurate, up-to-date, reliable and complete Information through this Site. However, it is expressly stated that any Information through this Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. No guarantees or assurances can be made to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided or our Content.
Each company has differing levels of reporting details. Sample Records shown on this Site are for illustration only and do not represent the number of data points available on every Record, which varies.
PAID CONTENT
Access to all search functions of this Site, and to previews/excerpts of Records, is free of charge. Access to full documents (“Records”) is granted upon payment. Access to the full content of purchased Records is provided immediately upon checkout/payment through your account. Purchased Records are accessible and downloadable for a period of 12 months after checkout.
Prices per Record and payment plans can be found in the pricing section of this Site.
PAYMENTS
Payment is made through Prepaid Accounts or Annual Subscriptions, or on a Pay-per-Record basis. Payments are made prior to the delivery of Paid Content to You.

If any payments made to TCAG are subject to any withholding taxes (or similar charges or fees) of a taxing authority of a non-Swiss country, You will pay to TCAG an amount equal to such withholding taxes (or similar charges or fees), increased as necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by TCAG equals the full invoiced amount.
REASONABLE USE
TCAG may review User’s actual use of the service. In the event that User’s actual use of a Subscription exceeds a fair and reasonable rate of usage, TCAG may terminate or limit in its sole discretion the Subscription or User’s access to the site. The actual use of an annual Subscription is assumed to be unreasonably high if the number of 1.000 downloaded records is exceeded within the 12-month Subscription period.
