These terms cover the site, the appraisal tools, accounts and Repo Check
These terms apply when you use rightmark.ai, follow a Scout link on bscout.ai, use the appraisal tools, sign in to an account, or download and run Rightmark Repo Check. "Rightmark", "we" and "us" mean Rightmark. "You" means the person using the service and, where you act for an organization, that organization.
By using the service you agree to these terms. If you act for an organization, you confirm that you may accept these terms for it.
Other terms apply where they are relevant: the privacy notice says what personal data we collect and why, the cookie notice lists every cookie we set, and the Scout terms govern the Scout program. Buyer accounts carry their own terms and nondisclosure agreement, accepted before any buyer page opens.
These terms do not license your data to anyone. Licensing happens only under a separate written agreement that you sign, and nothing is licensed until you sign it.
Every estimate is indicative, not an offer
The appraisal tools, the Operational data estimator, Repo Check quotes, share cards and the PDF appraisal report show a range from low to high, a confidence level of High, Medium or Low, and the drivers behind it. Every estimate carries this line, and it applies to every estimate on the service:
Indicative estimate, not an offer. Final offers depend on the systems you connect, data size and quality, access terms and due diligence.
An estimate is not a price we promise, a bid from anyone, or a commitment that anyone will license your data. The range comes from our model, explained under "How we estimate" next to every range, and from public deal data that shows its source and date. The model is updated from release to release, and every result records the model version that produced it, so the same answers can give a different range later.
An estimate is not a formal appraisal for tax, accounting, lending, insolvency, litigation or any other regulated purpose.
The site is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice
Pages, guides, the Price Index, the Deal Tracker, the glossary, checklists and estimates are general information. They are not legal, tax, financial or investment advice, and they do not create a lawyer, adviser or fiduciary relationship.
Whether you can license a particular dataset depends on your contracts, the consents you hold, privacy law and where the data comes from. Big or sensitive deals deserve your own counsel. Make your own decisions, and check anything that matters with your own advisers before you act.
We work to keep public figures correct and dated, but sources can be wrong or out of date. Each figure shows its source and date so you can check it yourself.
You sign in with a single-use code or link, not a password
Owners, Scouts, buyers and partners sign in without a password: you enter your email address and we send a 6-digit code and a sign-in link. Each works once. The code expires after 10 minutes and the link after 15 minutes. Staff also complete a second factor, such as a passkey.
Keep access to your email account secure, because anyone who can read your email can sign in as you. Tell us at once if you think someone else has used your account. You can sign out on every device from your account.
A session ends after 14 days, or after 7 days without use, and you then sign in again.
Give us accurate details and keep them current. One person per account: do not share your sign-in or let someone else use your account. Buyer accounts are created only by staff invitation.
Owners can withdraw a submission and can ask us to export or delete their personal data from the owner portal. The privacy notice explains how we handle those requests.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, puts other users or the service at risk, or that the law requires us to close.
Use the service honestly and leave its protections alone
You may read, search and link to the public pages. Automated reading of public pages is allowed where robots.txt permits it.
You must not:
- Submit data, documents or answers that you do not have the right to share, or that you know are false or misleading.
- Upload malware, files built to attack a system, or files of a kind or size the form does not accept.
- Try to get around sign-in, rate limits, bot checks, access controls or signed download links, or access an account, submission or file that is not yours.
- Probe, scan or load-test the service without our written permission.
- Send automated or bulk submissions, sign-in requests or Scout applications.
- Use the service to harass anyone, to send spam, or to break any law, including privacy, export control and sanctions laws.
- Copy or rebuild the service, or present our estimates as an offer, a firm price or a formal appraisal.
Scouts must disclose their referral relationship to every owner they introduce, must not offer inducements and must not promise a price. The Scout terms set out the full rules.
Repo Check runs on your own computer and is provided as is
Repo Check is a free command-line script that you download and run on your own computer. It reads a repository and its git history with read-only git commands. It makes no network connections, sends no telemetry, runs none of your code, and changes nothing in your repository.
It writes report.md and report.json, which you keep, and share.json, which holds summary numbers only. Nothing leaves your computer unless you choose to upload share.json in the appraisal. Before you upload, the site shows exactly what will be sent. The site rejects a share.json file that contains code, file names, paths or email addresses, or that is larger than 64 KB.
Each release lists its version and SHA-256 checksum on the Repo Check page, so you can check the file you downloaded.
Repo Check is provided as is and as available, without any warranty that it finds every secret, personal data item or license issue, or that its figures are correct. You run it at your own risk and remain responsible for what you share. A Repo Check quote is an estimate under the section on estimates above.
The site is ours; the Price Index and Deal Tracker data are open
The site, its design, text, software, appraisal model, share cards and reports belong to Rightmark or its licensors. You may use them to evaluate and license your own data and to share your own results. You may not copy, resell or redistribute them except as these terms allow.
We intend to publish the Price Index and Deal Tracker data, including the CSV and JSON downloads, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). Under it you may copy, share and adapt that data for any purpose, including commercial use, if you credit the Rightmark Price Index or Deal Tracker, link to the page you took the data from, name the edition or refresh date, and say whether you changed it.
That license covers our compilation and our own figures. It does not cover the third-party articles, filings and pages each row cites, which belong to their publishers. Company names in those rows identify the parties to public deals; their appearance does not mean that any of them works with Rightmark or endorses it. Values marked as estimated are our estimates, not reported figures.
"Rightmark", "Rightmark Scouts", "Rightmark Repo Check" and the diamond logo are our brand. Do not use them in a way that suggests we endorse you or your product.
You keep every right in the answers, documents, reports and messages you give us. You let us store and use them only to run the service for you, to prepare and route your submission, and as the privacy notice describes. Rightmark never keeps a copy of licensed data. Verification documents are stored privately and deleted 12 months after a deal closes, or sooner on request.
Clauses still being written with counsel
Counsel is still writing the clauses that complete these terms. They will appear on this page before it leaves draft, and the date at the top will change when they do:
- The disclaimer of warranties for the site, the appraisal tools and Repo Check.
- The limitation of liability.
- Governing law, venue and how disputes are resolved.
- How these terms rank against a signed license agreement, the Scout terms and the buyer terms.
We post changes here and tell account holders about material ones
We may change these terms. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. If a change is material, we tell account holders by email before it takes effect. If you keep using the service after a change takes effect, the new terms apply. If you do not agree, stop using the service and close your account.
Changes do not reach back to a signed license agreement. That agreement changes only in writing, signed by both sides.
