Terms of Service

Short version: use the site normally, don't scrape or resell the data pipeline itself, and accounts get full access to data downloads and Customise & export. The rest of this page is the detail behind that, because a one-line policy isn't a real one.

What this is

The Economic Atlas publishes official economic statistics, refreshed automatically from national statistics offices, central banks and international bodies (see each page's own footer for exact sources). By using the site, browsing, or creating an account, you're agreeing to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Accounts

You need an account to download data or use Customise & export. You're responsible for keeping your login details to yourself and for anything that happens under your account. You must be old enough to enter into a binding contract in your own country to create one. One account per person, please don't share logins.

What's included can change

The specific features available on the site are set at our discretion and may change over time, features can be added, removed, or restructured as the product develops. We'll try to make any material change reasonably clear.

Acceptable use

The site is for personal and professional reference use. Please don't: scrape, systematically crawl, or bulk-extract data from the site to build a competing product or redistribute it commercially (the underlying official statistics are themselves openly licensed by their original sources, go to them directly for that); attempt to circumvent the account system; interfere with the site's operation or abuse its infrastructure; or use an account other than your own. We can suspend or close accounts that do this.

Data accuracy

Every figure traces back to a named official source, and we work to keep everything current and correctly labelled, but official statistics get revised, sources occasionally have outages, and we sometimes fall behind or get something wrong. The site is provided "as is," without warranty that any figure is complete, current, or error-free, and nothing on it is financial, investment, or professional advice. Known gaps are disclosed honestly on the relevant page's own footer rather than hidden.

Ownership

The site's own design, software, and branding belong to The Economic Atlas. The underlying statistics themselves remain the property of their original publishers (ONS, FRED, Eurostat, and the others named on each page), used here under their own open licences, we're republishing, not claiming to own the numbers.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, The Economic Atlas isn't liable for losses arising from your use of the site or reliance on the data it shows, including decisions made using it. Nothing here limits liability where the law doesn't allow limiting it.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, this page gets updated to match, the same way our Privacy page works, meant to describe reality, not a fixed document nobody rereads. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the update.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Questions about any of this: [email protected], or get in touch. See also our Privacy policy.
