We are OSINT Central. This document explain the rules regarding the membership agreements with Researchers.

We call these rules our Researcher Membership Agreement. By we, we mean OSINT Central and our affiliates, which we may also refer to as *us. ****By you we mean the Researcher or Agency entering into this agreement, which we may also refer to as your*.

If a Researcher enter into a Researcher Membership, this Researcher Membership Agreement (this “Agreement”) applies. For other types of memberships on OSINT Central, other agreements might apply.

This Agreement is part of the Terms of Service. By clicking to accept the Terms of Service on the Site or by continuing to use the Site or the Site Services on or after the effective date noted above, you accept and agree to this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may modify this Researcher Membership Agreement without prior notice to you, and any revisions will take effect when posted on the Site unless otherwise stated. So it’s important you check the site on a regular basis for updates.

To make these terms a little easier to understand, we capitalize certain terms and capitalizing them means they have a special meaning. The definitions section in this document defines some capitalized terms and others are defined throughout the Terms of Service, mainly in the User Agreement (look for quotation marks and bold font).

1. Researcher membership programs

We offer a membership programs for Researchers and Agencies.

The membership program gives a discount on the Researcher Service Fee due for all amounts received by Sponsors.

We reserve the right to change membership fees, change the discount received or institute new fees at any time, in each case upon reasonable notice posted in advance on the Site.

No refunds of fees already paid will be given.

If we exercise our right to cancel a membership, we will not refund the membership fee already paid.

2. Taxes

Where applicable, we may also collect Taxes (such as value added tax (VAT) in Europe) on membership fees.

3. Automatic membership renewal

You must pay your membership fees through your Escrow Account.

The membership billing period begins on the date that we receive payment.

Our membership fees are calculated from the beginning of that billing period.

We automatically renews your monthly or yearly membership, and you irrevocably authorize and instruct us to make the required monthly payments on your behalf. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until you change your settings in your Profile to change your membership plan, otherwise notify us that you wish to revoke your authorization by contacting Customer Support, or cancel your Account.

4. Changes to membership program

You can change your membership program at any time, including by moving to an unpaid plan, by going to your Profile on the Site.

If you change your membership program, the new program and new billing period will be based upon the date we receive payment of the new membership fee.

If you upgrade a membership, it will result in a new billing date effective upon the date of payment of the additional fees and, if applicable, will result in a credit of the unused portion of the existing category membership fees.

If you downgrade a membership, you will not receive a refund or credit for the fees already paid; instead your membership will continue to the end of your current billing period but will not renew.

If your Account is suspended at the beginning of your billing period or you do not pay your membership fees, your Account will be automatically downgraded to an unpaid membership plan.

If your Account is reinstated, you may change your membership plan as described in this Agreement. We reserve the right to modify its membership programs at any time, upon reasonable notice posted in advance on the Site.
