These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services provided by InsightBridge Analytics Ltd ("we", "us", "our", or the "Company"), a consumer-insights business providing research and analytics services.
By engaging our services, requesting a proposal, signing an order form or statement of work, accessing deliverables, or otherwise using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use our services.
Where a separate written agreement, proposal, statement of work, or order form has been executed between you and InsightBridge Analytics Ltd, that document will prevail to the extent of any conflict with these Terms.
2. Scope of services
InsightBridge Analytics Ltd provides consumer-insights and research services, which may include:
- Customer segmentation and persona development;
- Brand perception and awareness research;
- User interviews and focus groups;
- Survey design and analysis;
- Concept and proposition testing;
- Customer journey mapping; and
- Competitor insight benchmarking.
The specific services, deliverables, timelines, assumptions, dependencies, and fees will be described in a proposal, statement of work, order form, or similar written agreement. Any estimates provided are based on the information available at the time and may change if project scope, timelines, participant requirements, or inputs change.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, we do not guarantee any particular commercial outcome, response rate, market performance, or decision-making result arising from our services or deliverables.
3. User obligations and responsibilities
You agree to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and timely information necessary for us to perform the services;

- Cooperate with us in a timely manner, including approving deliverables, responding to queries, and attending meetings or interviews as required;
- Use the deliverables only for the purposes permitted under your agreement with us; and
- Not misuse our services, attempt to interfere with our systems, or use our outputs in a misleading, unlawful, defamatory, or deceptive manner.
You are responsible for ensuring that any insights, recommendations, or research findings are reviewed and applied appropriately within your organisation. Research outputs are advisory in nature and should not be treated as legal, financial, medical, or other specialist advice unless expressly stated otherwise.
4. Payment terms and conditions
Fees, billing milestones, and payment schedules will be set out in the applicable proposal, statement of work, or invoice. Unless otherwise agreed in writing:
- Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date;
- All fees are quoted exclusive of VAT and any other applicable taxes, which will be added where required;
- We may require an upfront deposit or advance payment before commencing work;
- Late payments may result in suspension of services until all outstanding amounts are paid in full;
- You are responsible for any bank charges, currency conversion fees, or transfer fees incurred in making payment;
- Where your requirements change materially, we may issue a revised fee proposal or additional charges for out-of-scope work.
We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue sums to the extent permitted by applicable law, together with reasonable costs of collection.
5. Cancellation and refund policy
If you wish to cancel a project, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible. Cancellation terms may vary depending on the stage of the project and any third-party commitments already incurred.
- Deposits and upfront fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated in writing;
- Where work has already commenced, you may remain liable for all fees for work performed and costs incurred up to the cancellation date;

- No refund will be due for completed work, delivered reports, analyses, or other deliverables already provided to you.
If a project is paused or delayed by you for more than 30 days, we may treat the matter as suspended and may charge reasonable re-mobilisation fees to resume work.
6. Liability limitations
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, InsightBridge Analytics Ltd shall not be liable for:
- Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses;

- Any loss arising from your reliance on incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or misleading information provided by you or third parties;
- Any decisions made by you based on the research outputs or recommendations.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Subject to the foregoing, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the services shall be limited to the total fees paid or payable by you to InsightBridge Analytics Ltd for the specific services giving rise to the claim in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability, unless otherwise required by applicable law or agreed in writing.

Where a force majeure event occurs, we will use reasonable efforts to mitigate its impact and resume performance as soon as practicable. If the event continues for an extended period, either party may request suspension or termination of the affected services on reasonable written notice.
10. Changes to terms
We may update or amend these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, operations, legal obligations, or business practices. Updated Terms will take effect when posted or otherwise communicated to you, unless a later effective date is specified.
Your continued use of our services after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you should stop using the services and notify us in writing.
