Terms of Service

Last updated: 10 August 2026

Welcome to DC Hub. By accessing or using our platform at dchub.cloud ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using DC Hub, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

DC Hub provides a data center intelligence platform including:

• Facility database and search
• Market intelligence and analytics
• Land & Power infrastructure mapping
• AI-powered research assistant
• News aggregation and transaction tracking
• API access (for qualifying subscription tiers)

3. Subscription Plans & Pricing

DC Hub offers the following subscription tiers:

• Founding Member: $99/month (limited availability)
• Pro: $199/month
• Enterprise: $699/month

Prices are subject to change with 30 days notice. All fees are non-refundable except as required by law or at our sole discretion.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

4.1 Ownership

DC Hub retains all rights, title, and interest in:

• The DC Hub platform, software, and source code
• Proprietary datasets, algorithms, and analytics
• User interface designs and visual elements
• The DC Hub name, logo, and trademarks
• Documentation and educational content

4.2 License to Use

Subject to these Terms, DC Hub grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes only.

4.3 Restrictions

You may NOT:

• Copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
• Scrape, crawl, or systematically download data from the Service
• Redistribute, resell, or sublicense access to the Service, or its data except as expressly permitted by §5.2
• Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices
• Use automated tools to access the Service beyond approved API limits
• Build a competing product using data or insights from DC Hub
• Share login credentials or allow unauthorized access

5. Data Usage & Restrictions

5.1 Permitted Uses

You may use DC Hub data for:

• Internal research and analysis
• Site selection and market evaluation
• Investment due diligence
• Business presentations (with attribution)
• API integration with your internal systems (Enterprise tier)

5.2 Openly Licensed Data — Express Carve-Out

5.3 Prohibited Uses

Except as expressly permitted by §5.2, you may NOT:

• Republish or redistribute the DC Hub facility corpus, or any third-party data layer, to third parties as a dataset
• Create derivative databases from those layers
• Sell or sublicense access to the Service
• Bulk export data beyond reasonable personal use

These restrictions exist because those layers are not ours alone to give away: the facility corpus contains OpenStreetMap data under ODbL 1.0, whose share-alike obligation would pass to you, and some upstream terms are still being confirmed. They are not a claim of ownership over public facts. See dchub.cloud/data-sources.

If you want to redistribute a layer that §5.2 does not cover, ask us — info@dchub.cloud. We clear sources individually and the answer is often yes.

5.4 Attribution

When using DC Hub data in external presentations or publications, you must attribute it: “Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud)”.

For the CC-BY-4.0 layer in §5.2, cite the index, its version and the date, so the figure is reproducible:

DCPI is recomputed daily and its verdict bands are versioned, so a score quoted without a version and a date cannot be checked against the published methodology.

Where you redistribute anything containing OpenStreetMap data, ODbL 1.0 requires you to credit “© OpenStreetMap contributors” and to license the result share-alike. That obligation runs to you directly and DC Hub cannot waive it on your behalf.

6. API Terms (Enterprise Tier)

Enterprise subscribers receive API access subject to:

• Rate limits as specified in your subscription agreement
• Use only for internal business applications
• No reselling or redistributing API data, except the openly licensed layer in §5.2
• Compliance with all usage guidelines

API abuse may result in immediate termination without refund.

7. User Conduct

You agree to:

• Provide accurate registration information
• Maintain the security of your account credentials
• Use the Service only for lawful purposes
• Not interfere with or disrupt the Service
• Not attempt to gain unauthorized access
• Report any security vulnerabilities responsibly

8. Data Sources & Accuracy

DC Hub aggregates data from public sources, and every one of them is named at dchub.cloud/data-sources together with the licence that applies to it. While we strive for accuracy:

• Data is provided "as is" without warranty of accuracy
• Information may be outdated or incomplete
• You should independently verify critical data
• DC Hub is not liable for decisions made based on our data

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

DC Hub does not warrant that:

• The Service will be uninterrupted or error-free
• Defects will be corrected
• The Service is free of viruses or harmful components
• Data will be accurate, complete, or current

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DC HUB AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO DC HUB IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately, without notice, for:

• Violation of these Terms

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 survive termination.

13. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Phoenix, Arizona, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You waive any right to a jury trial or class action.
