Legal.

ParfumDB grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use the database solely in accordance with these Terms. For data you have already downloaded, this license is perpetual: it may be revoked only for a violation of these Terms, and revocation does not affect your right to keep and continue using previously downloaded copies in products and analyses you have already built (see § 8.2). The license is personal to you and may not be shared, transferred, or sublicensed.

You may:

• Download and store the database for your own use
• Integrate the database into applications you develop
• Use the data for analysis, research, and business intelligence
• Train machine learning and AI models
• Create derivative works (reports, dashboards, visualizations) for internal use
• Use the data to provide services to your customers (if those services comply with these Terms)

You may not:

• Resell, redistribute, or republish the database or any substantial portion thereof
• Create a competing fragrance data service
• Share your download link or credentials with others
• Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices
• Use the Service for any illegal purpose
• Reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the data structure for competitive purposes
• Reproduce the database for the purpose of redistribution — storing it, backing it up, and loading it into your own systems (databases, backends, analytics pipelines) is expressly permitted under § 2.2
• Use automated tools to re-download or scrape additional copies

ParfumDB retains all intellectual property rights in the Service itself — the website, its design, and the software that powers it. We do not claim exclusive ownership of the underlying factual information, and we do not pursue licensing claims against customers who transform, reorganize, or build upon data they have purchased. The compiled dataset is the product of our collection and normalization effort; the restrictions that protect it are the contractual ones in Section 2, not a maximalist copyright claim.

The underlying factual information (fragrance names, brands, notes, release dates) is not subject to copyright or database protection under applicable law. What governs your use of the compiled, organized dataset are the contractual restrictions in Section 2 — not a proprietary claim over the information itself.

Brand names and trademarks referenced in the database (Dior, Guerlain, etc.) remain the property of their respective owners. We use these names for descriptive, nominative purposes only.

All payments are in cryptocurrency. By initiating a transaction, you agree to the stated price in USD equivalent at the time of purchase. Prices are subject to change without notice.

All transactions are recorded on a public blockchain. This transaction history is immutable and permanent. By paying, you acknowledge that your transaction details are publicly visible on the blockchain.

All sales are final. Due to the irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions and the digital nature of the product, we do not offer refunds or chargebacks. We strongly recommend reviewing our sample data and documentation before purchase.

Annual subscriptions do not automatically renew. You will receive email notifications before your subscription expires. To continue receiving updates, you must manually renew by purchasing a new subscription or upgrading to Lifetime Access.

The product is delivered as downloadable files — it is not a hosted service (SaaS). Once downloaded, the database runs entirely on your side and does not depend on our servers, our APIs, or the continued availability of this website. For subscribers, update deliveries are sent by email with direct download links and continue independently of the availability of the website or of any public repository.

THE DATABASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

ParfumDB makes no representations or warranties regarding:

• The accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the data
• The fitness of the database for a particular purpose
• The absence of defects, errors, or omissions
• The security or reliability of the download process

While we strive for accuracy, the database is compiled from multiple sources, some of which are maintained by third parties. We are not responsible for third-party errors or omissions.

We maintain quality control processes, but some data discrepancies may exist. If you discover errors, please report them to [email not configured], and we will investigate.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ParfumDB SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:

• Lost profits or revenue
• Lost or corrupted data
• Business interruption
• Indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages
• Any damages arising from your use or inability to use the database

This applies even if ParfumDB has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

ParfumDB's total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid for the database.

You may cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account or contacting [email not configured].

ParfumDB may terminate your license immediately if you:

• Violate any material term of these Terms
• Resell or redistribute the database
• Use the Service for illegal purposes
• Violate third-party intellectual property rights through your own conduct

Upon termination:

• Your access to new downloads and updates is revoked immediately
• Active download links expire
• You must not start new uses of the database that these Terms prohibit
• Consistent with § 2.1, previously downloaded copies remain yours: you may keep them and continue using them in products and analyses you had already built

Sections 3 (Intellectual Property), 5 (Warranty Disclaimer), 6 (Limitation of Liability), 7 (Indemnification), and 9-15 survive termination. The perpetual license for previously downloaded data (§ 2.1) and the delivery-continuity commitments (§ 4.5) also survive: what you have already downloaded remains yours regardless of how these Terms end.

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your email and download links
• Preventing unauthorized access to your account
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use

You agree not to:

• Share your download links or credentials
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service
• Introduce malware or malicious code
• Use the Service to harass, threaten, or harm others
• Violate any applicable law or regulation

We collect minimal personal data (email address only). For details, see our Privacy Policy.

Your transaction history is recorded on a public blockchain and is permanently visible to the public. We are not responsible for any privacy concerns related to blockchain data.

Except for your email address, any information you provide is non-confidential. We may use feedback, suggestions, or ideas you provide without compensation.

These Terms deliberately do not designate a single national governing law: the Service is borderless and payment is made in cryptocurrency. Disputes are resolved exclusively through the binding arbitration process described in § 13.2. Mandatory consumer-protection rules of your place of residence remain unaffected where they apply by operation of law.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved by binding ad hoc arbitration under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, conducted in English with a single arbitrator; documents-only or remote proceedings are preferred where the rules allow. By using the Service, you waive your right to a jury trial and class action proceedings.

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to attempt to resolve disputes informally by contacting [email not configured].
