Acceptable Use Policy

1. Purpose And Scope

This Acceptable Use Policy (“Policy”) sets out permitted and prohibited conduct for the Apex Edge Sales Engineering Limited website at www.apexedgesalesengineering.com, together with the content, publications, digital assets, free tools, and communications we provide through it (“we”, “us”, “our”) (together, the “Services”).

Use of the ApexIQ WinCommand application is not governed by this Policy. ApexIQ WinCommand is a separate web application published at wincommand.apexedgesalesengineering.com, and it has its own Acceptable Use Policy (acceptable-use (opens in a new tab)) covering matters this website does not involve, such as authorised users, administrative access, data export, and platform abuse.

Use of an ApexIQ Companion service is not governed by this Policy either. ApexIQ Companion is a separate website published at companion.apexedgesalesengineering.com, and it has its own Acceptable Use document (acceptable-use (opens in a new tab)) covering matters this website does not involve, such as what must not be sent to a service, links into your own systems, and redaction of material before you send it.

Use of CloudVerdict is not governed by this Policy either. CloudVerdict is a separate subscription service published at cloudverdict.apexedgesalesengineering.com, and it has its own Acceptable Use policy (acceptable-use (opens in a new tab)) covering matters this website does not involve, such as account sharing, resale of results, automated extraction of prices at scale, and interference with the service.

This Policy applies to all users, including clients, partners, and collaborators. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to comply with this Policy. This Policy forms part of our Terms of Service, which also govern your use of the Services.

2. Permitted Use

You may use the Services for:

• internal business learning and decision-support,
• evaluation of our Services prior to engagement, and
• collaboration under written agreements or licensing arrangements.

Use must be lawful, respectful, and consistent with any agreed scope of engagement.

3. Prohibited Conduct

You must not:

Misuse of content and materials

• copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit our materials without prior written permission,
• modify, translate, or create derivative works from our materials except where expressly licensed, or
• use our materials to build competing frameworks, offerings, or tools that are substantially derived from our work.

Artificial intelligence and automated harvesting

• scrape, crawl, or systematically extract any content from the Services by automated means without our prior written permission,
• use any content, frameworks, data, or other materials from the Services to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or develop any machine learning model, artificial intelligence system, or automated tool, whether commercial or otherwise, or
• use automated tools or bots to access, monitor, or copy any part of the Services.

Intellectual property infringement

• remove, obscure, or alter copyright, trade mark, or attribution notices, or
• misrepresent our intellectual property as your own, or use our brands, marks, or content in a way that suggests endorsement without consent.

Security and service integrity

• attempt to gain unauthorised access to any systems, accounts, or non-public content,
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our Services,
• disrupt, overload, or degrade availability (including through excessive requests or malicious activity), or
• introduce malware or other harmful code.

Misrepresentation

• falsely claim affiliation with Apex Edge Sales Engineering, or
• impersonate any person or entity, or mislead others about the origin of communications or materials.

Unlawful or harmful use

• use the Services for any unlawful purpose, or
• use our materials to facilitate fraud, deception, or harmful conduct.

Restricted data.

Our forms and free tools are built for business information about deals, teams, and operating practice. Do not submit through them, or send to us in related correspondence:

• special category personal data, including data about health, race, ethnicity, religion, politics, trade union membership, sex life, or sexual orientation;
• criminal offence data;
• personal data relating to children;
• payment card numbers or bank credentials;
• passwords, API keys, or other authentication secrets; or
• information you are not authorised to disclose, including a third party’s confidential information.

The ApexIQ WinScore Preview runs on information you type into it. Score the shape of a deal, not the private details of the people in it.

4. Enforcement

If we reasonably believe this Policy has been breached, we may take action including:

• restricting, suspending, or terminating access (with or without notice),
• removing or disabling access to content,
• pursuing legal remedies (including injunctive relief and damages), and
• reporting matters to regulators or law enforcement where appropriate.

Where a breach causes us loss, we may seek to recover that loss from you under the indemnification provisions of our Terms of Service.
