Seqenta – Ecosystem & User Generated Content Terms

1. Purpose of the Ecosystem

The Seqenta ecosystem enables users to contribute intelligence about companies through user-generated signals, observations, and reports (“Flags”). The ecosystem is designed to supplement publicly available and licensed data with real-world insights from the Seqenta community.

By participating in the ecosystem, you agree to these terms in addition to Seqenta's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

2. Definition of a “Flag”

A “Flag” is any user-submitted content on the Seqenta platform, including but not limited to:

• Observations about a company's operations, behaviour, or status
• Reports of positive or negative experiences
• Signals regarding financial health, risk, or performance
• Commentary or structured data submissions

Flags may be submitted through forms, structured inputs, or other submission mechanisms provided by the platform.

3. Nature of Information

Flags are user-generated content and:

• Represent the opinions, experiences, or observations of individual users
• Are not verified, endorsed, or approved by Seqenta
• Should not be treated as statements of fact
• Do not constitute financial, legal, or professional advice

Seqenta acts as an intermediary platform. The presence of a Flag on the platform does not imply that Seqenta has verified its accuracy or endorses its content.

4. Acceptable Use of the Flagging System

When submitting Flags, you agree to:

• Provide information that is truthful to the best of your knowledge
• Have a reasonable basis for any claims or observations
• Not submit content that is defamatory, malicious, or knowingly false
• Not use the system to harass, harm, or unfairly target individuals or companies
• Not submit content that infringes the intellectual property rights of others
• Not use the system for competitive sabotage or market manipulation

You acknowledge that submitting false or harmful content may expose you to legal liability under the Defamation Act 2013 or other applicable laws.

5. Compliance Review and Content Controls

Seqenta may, but is not obligated to, conduct a compliance review of submitted Flags. This review is limited to identifying content that may be:

• Unlawful or potentially defamatory
• In breach of platform policies
• Harmful, misleading, or abusive

A compliance review does not mean that Seqenta:

• Verifies the accuracy of the content
• Endorses or approves the content
• Accepts responsibility for the content

Seqenta reserves the right to:

• Remove, edit, or restrict visibility of any Flag
• Request additional information or evidence from the submitter
• Suspend or terminate accounts that misuse the system

6. Visibility and Distribution

Flags submitted to the platform may be:

• Visible to other registered users of the platform
• Included in company profiles, scores, or dashboards
• Used in alert notifications sent to other users
• Displayed in aggregated or summarised form

Seqenta may control the visibility and distribution of Flags at its sole discretion, including limiting access based on subscription tier or geographic availability.

7. Aggregation and Anonymisation

Seqenta may aggregate and anonymise Flag data and other ecosystem content. Aggregated data may be used to:

• Generate scores, benchmarks, or risk indicators
• Identify trends and patterns across industries or regions
• Create data products or commercial insights

Once aggregated and anonymised, this data is no longer personal data and may be used and shared without restriction.

8. Commercial Use of Ecosystem Data

By submitting content to the ecosystem, you grant Seqenta a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable licence to use, reproduce, modify, analyse, aggregate, and commercialise such content. This includes the right to:

• Combine with other data sources
• Create derived insights and analytics
• Include in commercial data products, APIs, or reports
• Share aggregated and anonymised outputs with third parties

No personally identifiable information will be shared without your consent.

9. No Reliance

Flags and ecosystem data are provided for informational purposes only. You must not rely on Flags as the sole basis for:

• Credit, lending, or financing decisions
• Supplier due diligence or commercial engagement
• Legal, regulatory, or compliance assessments

Independent verification is always required. Seqenta accepts no liability for decisions made based on user-generated content.

10. User Accountability

You are solely responsible for the content you submit. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Seqenta Ltd, its directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from your submissions, including but not limited to defamation claims, intellectual property disputes, or regulatory actions.

11. Reporting and Disputes

If you believe a Flag is inaccurate, defamatory, or in breach of these terms, you may report it through the platform's reporting mechanism or by contacting us at legal@seqenta.com.

Seqenta will:

• Acknowledge reports within a reasonable timeframe
• Review the content in question
• Take appropriate action, which may include removal, restriction, or no action

Seqenta's decision on content disputes is final, subject to any applicable legal requirements.

12. Enforcement

Violations of these terms may result in:

• Removal of submitted Flags
• Temporary or permanent suspension of flagging privileges
• Account suspension or termination
• Referral to legal authorities where appropriate

Seqenta reserves the right to take enforcement action at its sole discretion.

13. Relationship to Terms of Service

These Ecosystem & User Generated Content Terms form part of, and are supplementary to, Seqenta's Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between these terms and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service shall prevail unless these terms expressly state otherwise.
