Before you make use of or participate in one of our Market Research services, these additional terms and conditions, of which you are also notified, form an integral part of these Terms and Conditions.

We encourage thoughtful participation, truthful answers and informed sharing through respectful and appropriate submissions (hereinafter: “Submissions”).

“Submissions” means: all answers, comments, feedback, suggestions, ideas and other communications published, submitted or directly/indirectly offered to the panel, a specially appointed third party or via any other channel (online surveys, websites and/or platforms) as a result of your membership or participation in one of our Market Research Activities.

You are and remain in any case responsible for your Submissions during your membership or participation in our Market Research Activities and during use of the associated websites and/or platforms. Human8 can in no case be held liable for Submissions from other Participants.

You will refrain from Submissions that are or could be inappropriate, illegal or otherwise harmful to Human8 and other Participants.

Under no circumstances shall you use the websites and/or platforms to advertise or sell products, services or otherwise (for profit or not), nor shall you contact other Users for this purpose. Commercial use of the websites and/or platforms or their content is in any case prohibited.

You must declare that your Submissions do not breach and/or conflict with any right of a third party or any national or international regulations including but not limited to (i) copyright, patents, trademarks or other intellectual property rights; (ii) rights to privacy (specifically you may not publicise the personal data of others of any kind without his/her express permission) or disclosure; (iii) an obligation of confidentiality.

Since we operate in a highly regulated sector where we have to comply with certain laws and regulations, we reserve the right to monitor, assess and , if necessary, immediately delete all Submissions without giving any reason.
