Terms of Service

1. Who we are

Clearbasis is a service operated by GDH Ventures Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales.

• Company name: GDH Ventures Ltd
• Registered jurisdiction: United Kingdom
• Trading name: Clearbasis
  

Throughout these Terms, “Clearbasis”, “we”, “us” or “our” refers to GDH Ventures Ltd.

2. What Clearbasis does

Clearbasis provides evidence-based guidance to help website owners understand whether their websites are likely to require a cookie consent banner under applicable privacy laws.

We do this by analysing publicly accessible websites to observe how they behave in a browser environment (for example, whether cookies or other storage mechanisms are used).

Important clarification

• Clearbasis provides compliance guidance, not legal advice
• Clearbasis does not act as a data controller for your website visitors
• Final legal responsibility for compliance always remains with you

You should seek qualified legal advice if you require legal certainty.

3. Current service status

At this stage, Clearbasis is operating as an early-stage, manual service.

• The automated platform is not yet live
• Website analyses may be carried out manually
• Submitting your details does not guarantee service delivery

We use this phase to test demand and validate the service before building the full platform.

4. Eligibility

By using this website or submitting your details, you confirm that:

• You are at least 18 years old
• You are acting on behalf of a business, organisation, or website you are authorised to represent
• The website URLs you submit are publicly accessible

5. Your responsibilities

You agree that:

• Any information you submit is accurate and up to date
• You have permission to submit the website URLs you provide
• You will not use Clearbasis in a way that is unlawful, misleading, or abusive

6. No guarantees

While Clearbasis aims to provide clear, well-reasoned guidance:

• We do not guarantee that our conclusions will satisfy regulators, auditors, or third parties
• Laws and regulatory interpretations change
• Different legal professionals may reasonably disagree on outcomes
  

Clearbasis outputs should be treated as decision-support information, not definitive legal rulings.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• Clearbasis is not liable for any loss, damage, or regulatory action arising from reliance on our guidance
• We are not responsible for business losses, lost revenue, reputational harm, or compliance penalties
  

Nothing in these Terms limits liability where it cannot be excluded under UK law.

8. Intellectual property

All content on this website, including text, branding, and analysis materials, is owned by or licensed to GDH Ventures Ltd.

You may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute Clearbasis materials without permission.

9. Suspension or termination

We reserve the right to suspend or refuse service if:

• We believe submitted information is misleading or abusive
• Use of the service poses legal or operational risk
• The service is withdrawn during early validation

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

The latest version will always be published on this page.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
