Remnant Terms of Use_

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Remnant is an intelligence tool, not a risk assessment. The absence of a recorded incident does not indicate that an area is free from unexploded ordnance (UXO) or explosive remnants of war (ERW) risk. You must not rely solely on Remnant for any operational, safety, or commercial decision. Always consult a qualified UXO specialist before undertaking ground works in any area of potential contamination.

Section 11 sets out important limitations and exclusions on Brimstone’s liability to you. You should read those provisions carefully.

1. ABOUT THESE TERMS

1.1 These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Remnant (the “Platform”), operated by Brimstone Site Investigation Ltd (“Brimstone”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

1.2 Remnant is an unexploded ordnance and explosive remnants of war intelligence platform that aggregates incident data from open sources, including news reports, official press releases, public records, and humanitarian reporting.

1.3 Brimstone is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 10253758 and registered office at Innovation Centre Medway, Maidstone Road, Chatham, ME5 9FD.

1.4 By accessing or using the Platform you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy at remnant.brimstoneuxo.com/privacy, our Cookies Policy at remnant.brimstoneuxo.com/cookies, and our Acceptable Use Policy at remnant.brimstoneuxo.com/aup (together with these Terms, the “Agreement”).

1.5 If you do not agree with the Agreement, you must not use the Platform.

1.6 If you access the Platform on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation to the Agreement, and references to “you” include both you personally and that organisation.

2. ELIGIBILITY

2.1 Access to the Platform is restricted to adults aged 18 or over. By using the Platform you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. If you are under 18, you must not use the Platform.

2.2 The Platform is currently available to users located in the United Kingdom. We may make the Platform available in additional countries in the future, in which case we will update these Terms.

2.3 You must not use the Platform if doing so would breach applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including export controls and sanctions laws.

3. SUBSCRIPTION TIERS

3.1 The Platform is offered on the following subscription tiers:

  • Intelligence: paid tier with the highest level of access, including features intended for organisations with specialist requirements.
  • Free: free of charge, with limited access to features and data.
  • Pro: paid tier with expanded access to features, search, and data.
  • Analyst: paid tier with further expanded access, including additional analytical features.

3.2 The specific features, limits, and price of each tier are set out at remnant.brimstoneuxo.com/pricing and (for paid tiers) in the Subscription Schedule. The Subscription Schedule forms part of the Agreement for any user who subscribes to a paid tier.

3.3 We may add, remove, or change features within any tier, or introduce new tiers, from time to time. Where a change materially reduces the features available to you within your current tier, we will notify you with reasonable advance notice and you may terminate your paid subscription in accordance with section 14.

3.4 Users accessing the Platform without registering an account have access only to features designated by us as available without registration. Such users are still bound by the Agreement, including this section, the Acceptable Use Policy, and the disclaimer set out in section 10.

4. ACCOUNTS

4.1 To access most features of the Platform you must register for an account. When registering, you must provide accurate and complete information and keep that information up to date.

4.2 You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account.

4.3 You must not share your account credentials with any other person, allow any other person to access the Platform using your account, or create multiple accounts for the same individual (other than where expressly permitted by your subscription tier).

4.4 You must notify us immediately at security@brimstoneuxo.com if you become aware of any unauthorised access to your account or any other suspected security breach.

4.5 We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account in accordance with section 14.

5. ACCEPTABLE USE

5.1 Your use of the Platform is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy at remnant.brimstoneuxo.com/aup. The Acceptable Use Policy sets out prohibited conduct in detail, including (without limitation) restrictions on scraping, automated access, data redistribution, use for training machine-learning models, security testing, and conduct that could endanger life or breach applicable laws.

5.2 You agree to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy. Breach of the Acceptable Use Policy is a material breach of the Agreement and may result in suspension or termination of your access to the Platform.

6. FEES AND PAYMENT (PAID TIERS)

6.1 This section 6 applies only if you subscribe to a paid tier (Pro, Analyst, or Intelligence).

6.2 The fees, billing frequency, and any usage-based charges for your subscription are set out in the Subscription Schedule and on the Platform at the time you subscribe. All fees are stated in pounds sterling and are exclusive of VAT, which we will add at the prevailing rate where applicable.

6.3 Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price for your tier, unless you cancel before the renewal date. You can cancel auto-renewal at any time through your account settings.

6.4 We may change our prices on not less than 30 days’ notice. Price changes take effect from the start of your next billing period after the notice. If you do not accept a price change, you may cancel your subscription before it takes effect, in which case your subscription will end at the end of your current billing period.

6.5 Payment is processed by our payment processor at the start of each billing period. You authorise us and our payment processor to charge your payment method for the applicable fees. If a payment fails, we may retry the payment, suspend your access to paid-tier features, or terminate your subscription.

6.6 We may charge interest on overdue amounts at the rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, accruing daily from the due date until paid in full.

6.7 Except as required by law, all fees are non-refundable. Where you are a consumer, your statutory rights are described in section 7.

7. CONSUMER RIGHTS (COOLING-OFF PERIOD)

7.1 This section 7 applies only if you are a consumer (an individual acting wholly or mainly outside of any business, trade, craft, or profession) and you subscribe to a paid tier.

7.2 Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your subscription within 14 days of subscribing for any reason, without giving any reason.

7.3 To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel by a clear statement (for example, a letter sent by post or email to billing@brimstoneuxo.com) before the cancellation period has expired.

7.4 By starting to use the paid-tier features of the Platform during the cancellation period, you agree that we may begin supplying the service during the cancellation period. You acknowledge that you will lose the right to cancel once the service has been fully performed, and that if you cancel after we have begun supplying the service we may charge you a proportionate amount for the service provided up to the point you communicated your cancellation to us.

8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

8.1 The Platform, including its software, design, source code, structure, organisation, look and feel, text, graphics, logos, images, and the Remnant brand and trade marks, is owned by Brimstone or licensed to Brimstone. All intellectual property rights in the Platform are reserved.

8.2 The data made available through the Platform is curated and structured by Brimstone. The underlying source content is owned by its original publishers and Brimstone’s rights in the curation, structure, and database are protected by copyright and (in the United Kingdom) database right under the Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997.

8.2A Certain data layers made available through the Platform are derived from third-party datasets that Brimstone uses under licence or under fair-dealing or other permitted-use arrangements, and not as owner. These third-party datasets (including, without limitation, heritage and historic military-site data sourced from the Defence of Britain project and similar community or archival sources) remain the property of their original authors, compilers, and rights holders. Brimstone’s rights described in section 8.2 apply only to Brimstone’s own curation, structure, and database, and do not extend to, and Brimstone does not claim ownership of, the underlying third-party datasets. Where such data is shown, it is provided for reference only, any attribution displayed must be preserved, and you must not extract, redistribute, resell, or make any commercial use of that third-party data beyond viewing it within the Platform. Your use of such data is additionally subject to any attribution or non-commercial conditions imposed by the original rights holder, which prevail over any broader licence in section 8.3.

8.3 Subject to your compliance with the Agreement, Brimstone grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform for your own internal business or professional purposes for the duration of your account.

8.4 Nothing in the Agreement transfers ownership of any intellectual property rights to you. The licence in section 8.3 is the only right you have to use the Platform; all other rights are reserved.

8.5 If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas to Brimstone about the Platform, you grant Brimstone a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to use that feedback for any purpose without compensation or attribution to you.

9. DATA AND PRIVACY

9.1 Our processing of personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy at remnant.brimstoneuxo.com/privacy. By using the Platform you confirm that you have read the Privacy Policy.

9.2 We use cookies and similar technologies as set out in our Cookies Policy at remnant.brimstoneuxo.com/cookies.

10. NATURE OF THE PLATFORM AND DISCLAIMER

10.1 The Platform aggregates incident data from open sources. The data:

  • may be incomplete, unverified, or subject to error;
  • may include incidents that are misclassified, mislocalised, delayed in reporting, or missing entirely;
  • reflects publicly available reporting and may not reflect the full extent of any contamination, threat, or event.

10.2 The Platform is an intelligence tool, not a risk assessment. The absence of a recorded incident does not indicate that an area is free from UXO or ERW risk. The presence of recorded incidents does not define the full extent of contamination.

10.3 The Platform does not constitute professional UXO, legal, military, or safety advice. No action, operational decision, or commercial judgement should be taken based solely on data presented through the Platform. You must always verify independently with qualified professionals.

10.4 Before undertaking any ground works in any area of potential UXO or ERW contamination, you must consult a qualified UXO specialist.

10.5 We provide the Platform on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all warranties, conditions, and other terms implied by statute or common law (including without limitation any warranty as to satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement) are excluded.

10.6 We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against attack, or available at any particular time. We may suspend or restrict access to the Platform for maintenance, upgrades, or for any other reason.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

11.1 Nothing in the Agreement limits or excludes Brimstone’s liability for:

11.1.1 death or personal injury caused by negligence;

11.1.2 fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

11.1.3 any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

11.2 Subject to section 11.1, Brimstone shall not be liable to you (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise) for:

11.2.1 any loss of profit, revenue, business, or anticipated savings;

11.2.2 any loss of contract, business opportunity, or goodwill;

11.2.3 any loss or corruption of data;

11.2.4 any losses arising from your decision to undertake (or not undertake) any operational, commercial, or safety action in reliance on the Platform;

11.2.5 any indirect, special, or consequential loss,

11.2.6 in each case whether or not reasonably foreseeable, reasonably contemplatable, actually foreseen, or actually contemplated.

11.3 Subject to sections 11.1 and 11.2, Brimstone’s total aggregate liability to you in any 12-month period, in respect of all causes of action arising in that period, shall not exceed:

11.3.1 for users on a paid tier, the total fees paid by you for the Platform in that 12-month period; and

11.3.2 for users on the free tier or users accessing the Platform without an account, £100.

11.4 If you are a consumer, nothing in this section 11 affects your statutory rights under English law, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

11.5 The provisions of this section 11 reflect the commercial allocation of risk between you and Brimstone, including in particular the very low (or no) price you pay for access to the Platform compared with the potential value to you of the data, and you accept that this is reasonable in the circumstances.

12. INDEMNITY

12.1 You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Brimstone, its affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any losses, damages, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:

12.1.1 your breach of the Agreement (including the Acceptable Use Policy);

12.1.2 your use of the Platform in violation of applicable law;

12.1.3 any third-party claim arising out of your use of the Platform or any content, output, or decision you create, take, or share in reliance on the Platform.

13. CHANGES TO THE PLATFORM AND THE AGREEMENT

13.1 We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Platform (or any feature of the Platform) at any time, with or without notice. We will give reasonable notice of any change that materially reduces the features available to paid-tier subscribers.

13.2 We may update the Agreement (including these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Cookies Policy, and the Acceptable Use Policy) from time to time. When we make material changes:

  • we will notify registered users by email;
  • we will post a prominent notice on the Platform;
  • the changes will take effect on the date specified in the notice, which will be no less than 14 days after the notice for non-trivial changes.

13.3 If you do not accept a change to the Agreement, your only remedy is to stop using the Platform and (if you are on a paid tier) cancel your subscription. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of a change means you accept the revised Agreement.

14. TERMINATION

14.1 You may terminate your account at any time by using the account deletion function in your account settings, or by contacting us at support@brimstoneuxo.com.

14.2 We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform, your account, or any paid subscription, with or without notice, if:

14.2.2 you fail to pay any fees when due;

14.2.3 we are required to do so by law or regulatory order;

14.2.4 we reasonably believe your account has been compromised, used fraudulently, or used in a manner that may harm the Platform or other users;

14.2.5 we decide to discontinue the Platform.

14.3 Where we terminate your paid subscription other than for your breach, we will refund a proportionate amount of any prepaid fees covering the unused portion of your then-current billing period.

14.4 On termination of your account:

  • your right to access the Platform ends;
  • we will delete your account data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, subject to any legal retention requirements;
  • provisions of the Agreement that by their nature should survive termination (including sections 8, 10, 11, 12, 16 and 17) will continue in force.
15. FORCE MAJEURE

15.1 We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under the Agreement to the extent caused by events outside our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, pandemic, fire, flood, failure of utilities, failure of telecommunications networks, or denial-of-service attacks.

16. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

16.1 The Agreement, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

16.2 The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Agreement, except that:

  • if you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts; and
  • nothing in this section prevents us from bringing proceedings against you in the courts of any country where you are located or have assets.
17. GENERAL

17.1 Entire agreement: The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Brimstone in respect of the Platform and supersedes any prior agreement, understanding, or representation.
