Terms of service
1. What Sourzi provides
Sourzi provides the public website at sourzi.com, the published reference content such as the glossary, the regulatory pages, the China export Top 100 and the blog, the calculator and lookup tools, and any account or subscription products we make available from time to time. These together are the service.
For legal notices, contact us at sourcing@sourzi.com.
2. How you accept these terms
You accept these terms when you use the site, open an account, or pay for a subscription. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.
3. What the reference content and tools are for
The reference pages give general information for buyers and procurement teams. They are not a substitute for primary source verification, professional regulatory advice, or a legal opinion prepared for your situation.
Verify every classification, case number and rate against the regulator's current portal before you act on it.
The tools return indicative results based on publicly available rules and the inputs you provide. They do not file, submit, or transmit anything on your behalf unless the tool page says otherwise.
Check every output against the binding source named on the tool page before you make a shipping, customs, or compliance decision.
4. Accounts, subscriptions and billing
The Free tier needs only an email address and a verified magic link sign in.
The Pro tier needs a paid subscription, billed monthly through Stripe at the price shown.
Invoices, payment method changes and cancellation are handled through the Stripe Customer Portal, which you reach from your account page.
You are responsible for activity on your account. Tell us at sourcing@sourzi.com straight away if you think someone accessed your account without authorisation.
5. How cancellation and refunds work
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep Pro access until then.
Refund handling is set out in our refund policy.
If you are an Australian consumer, you keep your statutory consumer guarantee rights under the Australian Consumer Law, whatever these terms say.
6. What you can and cannot do with the content
Do not scrape, mirror, resell, or systematically copy the reference content.
Do not try to get around the paywall on the Pro tools.
Do not use the service to send unsolicited commercial messages, to unlawfully store the personal data of other people, or to upload material you do not have the rights to.
7. Who owns the content and what licence you get
Sourzi or its licensors own all of the reference content, the tool logic, the designs and the trademarks.
You receive a limited licence to use the service for your internal business purposes. For a Pro subscription this lasts for the term of that subscription, and for the Free tier it lasts while these terms remain in force.
You cannot transfer or sublicense that licence, and we may revoke it.
8. The warranties we give and the ones we do not
The service is provided on an as is and as available basis.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sourzi disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and any warranty that the service does not infringe the rights of others.
Where the recipient is an Australian consumer, the consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law continue to apply.
9. The limit on what Sourzi is liable for
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sourzi is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages. This includes loss of revenue, lost shipments, demurrage, or detention costs that arise from your use of, misuse of, or inability to use the service.
Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is capped at the subscription fees you paid in the twelve months before the claim.
10. When you agree to cover our costs
You agree to cover Sourzi against claims that arise from your breach of these terms or from your unlawful use of the service.
11. When we can suspend or end your access
Sourzi may suspend or end your access where you breach these terms or where the law requires it.
Sourzi may also end any subscription for any other reason by giving you thirty days notice in writing. If that happens, we refund any prepaid fees for the unused part of your term.
12. How we handle your personal information
We describe how we handle your personal information in our privacy policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference.
13. Which law governs these terms
These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales. This does not affect any right that an Australian consumer cannot waive to bring proceedings in their home jurisdiction.
14. How we change these terms
Sourzi may update these terms. We tell active account holders about material changes by email at least fourteen days before they take effect.
If you keep using the service after the effective date, that counts as acceptance.
15. How to contact us
