Terms governing access to and use of the GSIG website, briefings, and engagement processes. These terms do not govern the engagement letter itself, which is a separate document.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the GSIG website, public briefings, and other related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by Global Sanctions Intelligence Group ("GSIG", "we", "us"), a subsidiary of VUNIX Inc. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
These Terms do not govern engagements between GSIG and its clients. Engagements are governed by separately executed engagement letters, confidentiality agreements, and any privilege or non-disclosure protections agreed at the outset of the engagement.
GSIG is a forensic intelligence firm. We provide blockchain forensic investigation, sanctions intelligence, transaction-level forensic review, AML programme validation, and related services to institutional, governmental, regulatory, and counsel clients under engagement letter. The Service available through this website is limited to: public information about the firm, public briefings, and the contact mechanism for prospective clients.
The Service is intended for use by individuals over the age of 18, professionals acting in a business capacity, and authorised representatives of institutional, governmental, or regulatory entities. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these criteria. Where you act on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
You agree not to use the Service to:
(a) Violate any applicable law or regulation, or to assist or facilitate any unlawful activity including sanctions evasion, money laundering, or terrorist financing.
(b) Misrepresent your identity, organisation, or authority when contacting GSIG.
(c) Attempt to access, scrape, or extract intelligence data, attribution methodology, or proprietary content beyond what is publicly published.
(d) Reproduce, republish, or distribute GSIG briefings or other content beyond fair-use academic, professional, or analytical reference, without prior written permission.
(e) Transmit malicious code, attempt to access systems beyond your authorisation, conduct reconnaissance against GSIG infrastructure, or interfere with the operation of the Service.
(f) Use automated tools to scrape the website at volume, generate spurious contact submissions, or otherwise interfere with the integrity of GSIG's communication channels.
We reserve the right to refuse service, block access, or pursue legal remedies in response to violations of these Terms.
All content on the GSIG website — including but not limited to text, graphics, design, briefings, methodology descriptions, attribution frameworks, and the GSIG name and mark — is the intellectual property of GSIG or VUNIX Inc., or used under licence. The geodesic globe device, "GSIG" wordmark, and "Audit-grade intelligence, quietly built." tagline are trademarks of GSIG.
You may reference GSIG briefings in professional, academic, or regulatory work, with appropriate attribution. You may not republish briefings in full, create derivative compilations, or use GSIG content in commercial products, training datasets, or AI-generated content without prior written permission.
GSIG briefings are intended for educational and professional reference. Briefings are produced in good faith and reflect GSIG's analysis at the time of publication. They are not legal, financial, or compliance advice, and do not constitute a determination as to any specific entity, transaction, or counterparty.
Reliance on briefing content for operational compliance decisions, legal positions, or transactional analysis is at the reader's own risk. Specific compliance and forensic determinations require an engagement.
An engagement with GSIG is established only by execution of an engagement letter. No statement, communication, or marketing material — including content on this website — constitutes an offer to engage, an engagement, or a binding commitment by GSIG. GSIG reserves discretion over which engagements to accept, including conflict-check, jurisdictional, and ethical considerations.
Once an engagement is established, the engagement letter governs scope, deliverables, fees, confidentiality, intellectual property in deliverables, and termination. The terms of this Service do not modify or override the engagement letter.
The website is provided "as is" and "as available". We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may perform maintenance, deploy updates, or modify content at any time. We do not commit to specific availability levels for the public website. Service-level commitments, where required, are negotiated within engagement letters for clients with active engagements.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GSIG shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to: business losses, regulatory exposures, decisions made in reliance on briefing content, or interruptions in availability of the Service.
This limitation does not apply to: (i) liability that cannot be excluded by applicable law; (ii) liability arising under engagement letters, which is governed by the engagement letter itself; or (iii) liability for fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct.
You agree to indemnify GSIG against any claims, losses, or damages arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or your infringement of third-party rights through your use of the Service.
We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms. Termination of website access does not affect any active engagement, which is governed separately by the engagement letter.
We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page and updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Material changes affecting active clients will be communicated through engagement correspondence channels.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where mandatory consumer or data-protection law in your jurisdiction provides otherwise. Disputes arising under engagement letters are governed by the dispute-resolution provisions of the engagement letter, not by these Terms.
