2. Platform Purpose and B2B Nature
DAN operates as a vetted B2B marketplace, digital agency directory, SaaS tools directory, talent ecosystem, and editorial resource platform connecting global brands, verified digital agencies, marketing technology providers, candidates, and industry professionals.
The Platform is primarily intended for professional, business, procurement, recruitment, and industry use. It is not intended to operate as a consumer marketplace.
Where individual Candidates, job seekers, Contributors, or visitors use the Platform, they do so in a professional capacity and subject to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
DAN provides an introduction, discovery, shortlisting, visibility, content, and information layer. Unless expressly agreed in a separate written contract, DAN does not itself provide the services offered by Agencies, SaaS Providers, Clients, Candidates, Contributors, Advertisers, or other Users.
3. Eligibility and Authority
You may use the Platform only if you are at least 18 years old and have legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
If you use the Platform on behalf of a company, Agency, SaaS Provider, Brand, employer, client, or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
You must provide accurate, complete, current, and non-misleading information when registering, submitting a profile, applying for Membership, submitting a Project Brief, uploading User Content, submitting a CV, posting a job, booking advertising, or contributing to editorial content.
You must keep your account details, profile information, contact information, business credentials, case studies, portfolio materials, job posts, advertising information, and other submitted information accurate and up to date.
We may request verification information at any time. Failure to provide satisfactory verification may result in rejection, suspension, removal, restriction, or termination.
4. Accounts, Security, and Member Area Access
Certain features of the Platform require registration or approval. These may include Agency profiles, paid Memberships, marketplace access, Advertising Bookings, SaaS tool listings, job posts, CV Pool access, editorial submissions, and guide participation.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity carried out under your account.
You must not share Member Area access with unauthorised users, competitors, scraping tools, data brokers, or any person or organisation not entitled to access the relevant part of the Platform.
You must notify DAN immediately if you suspect unauthorised use of your account or any security breach.
We may suspend or restrict access where we reasonably suspect unauthorised access, misuse, account sharing, scraping, fraudulent activity, data misuse, or breach of these Terms.
5. Agency Listings, Vetting, and Verification
DAN operates a selective directory and marketplace. Applying for a listing does not guarantee approval, publication, ranking, continued visibility, or access to paid features.
To preserve directory integrity, Agencies may be assessed against DAN’s Quality Assurance & Editorial Standards, including but not limited to:
- operational and technical currency of the Agency’s website;
- security, usability, mobile responsiveness, and modern digital standards;
- verifiable physical or operational presence in the claimed city, country, or region;
- valid business contact information;
- transparent leadership, team visibility, and professional role legitimacy;
- geographic legitimacy and team-to-location proportionality;
- service compatibility and methodological depth;
- proof of work, portfolio quality, and case study depth;
- service-to-portfolio alignment;
- client, award, badge, certification, and accolade verification;
- sectoral expertise and relevant industry experience;
- pricing, budget, or minimum project transparency where applicable;
- ongoing professionalism, responsiveness, and ethical conduct.
We may verify Agency claims using public sources, Agency websites, case studies, LinkedIn profiles, Google Maps, client references, third-party review platforms, web searches, and other reasonable verification methods.
DAN may reject, limit, edit, reclassify, suspend, or remove Agency listings that are incomplete, misleading, unverifiable, outdated, disproportionate, technically poor, geographically unsupported, inconsistent with claimed services, or otherwise inconsistent with DAN’s standards.
DAN’s verification process is a quality assurance and editorial screening mechanism. It does not constitute a legal, financial, professional, or operational guarantee of any Agency.
Brands remain responsible for conducting their own due diligence before appointing any Agency.
6. Membership Tiers, Paid Features, and Billing
DAN may offer free listings, paid Memberships, premium visibility packages, marketplace access, Advertising Bookings, featured placements, SaaS listings, job posting rights, CV Pool access, and other commercial products.
The features, benefits, prices, payment terms, subscription term, advertising period, billing cycle, and restrictions applicable to your Membership, Advertising Booking, or other paid product will be as stated on the Platform, in your invoice, order form, media plan, proposal, email confirmation, or separate written agreement.
Unless otherwise stated in writing:
- fees for paid Memberships are payable in advance through DAN’s online checkout or payment process. A paid Membership is activated only after the applicable annual fee has been paid and DAN has completed the relevant profile activation and onboarding process;
- fees for Advertising Bookings, including featured directory placements, sponsored listings, or other reserved promotional positions, are payable in accordance with the applicable media plan, invoice, email confirmation, or written agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Advertising Bookings are confirmed only after written acceptance by the Advertiser, and payment is required in advance of publication or campaign start date;
- prices displayed on the Platform are exclusive of VAT, sales tax, GST, and any other applicable taxes, duties, or charges. Where DAN is required to charge UK VAT, including for UK-based customers, VAT will be calculated and added at checkout, invoice, or payment stage. For customers outside the UK, DAN may not charge UK VAT where the supply is treated as outside the scope of UK VAT or subject to applicable place-of-supply rules. You remain responsible for any VAT, reverse-charge VAT, sales tax, GST, withholding tax, or other local tax obligations that may apply in your jurisdiction;
- paid Memberships are offered on an annual subscription basis only and, unless cancelled in accordance with these Terms, renew automatically for successive annual periods;
- Membership payments are processed at the start of each annual subscription period. Advertising placement payments are due in accordance with the applicable invoice, media plan, email confirmation, or written agreement;
- promotional discounts apply only to the period expressly stated;
- paid features begin when DAN activates the relevant Membership, listing, campaign, access, advertising placement, or service.
You are responsible for ensuring that your billing information is accurate and that payment is made on time.
If payment fails, is reversed, charged back, delayed, or disputed without reasonable basis, DAN may suspend access, pause visibility, remove paid features, withhold leads, restrict Member Area access, charge reasonable recovery costs, or terminate the relevant Membership, Advertising Booking, campaign, or paid service.
Paid Memberships, Advertising Bookings, and other paid products improve access to selected features, visibility opportunities, or promotional positions, but do not guarantee traffic, rankings, enquiries, Project Briefs, proposal acceptance, client responses, revenue, search visibility, conversion, recruitment outcomes, or commercial results.
7. Renewals, Cancellations, Refunds, and Booking Terms
Paid Memberships are annual subscriptions and renew automatically each year unless cancelled in accordance with these Terms or the specific written terms applicable to your package.
Paid Membership payments and renewals may be processed through Stripe or another third-party payment provider used by DAN. Stripe may create and manage a customer profile for the Agency, SaaS Provider, or other paid member and may store payment card details securely. DAN does not store full payment card details and may only have access to limited card information, such as the last four digits and expiry date.
Before an annual renewal payment is processed, Stripe may send a renewal reminder to the email address associated with the subscription, confirming the renewal date, payment method, reason for the charge, and renewal amount. You are responsible for keeping your billing email address, payment method, and subscription details accurate and up to date. Failure to receive or read a renewal reminder does not by itself cancel the subscription or invalidate a renewal charge.
To prevent automatic renewal of a paid Membership, the Agency, SaaS Provider, or other paid member must cancel the subscription before Stripe or DAN’s applicable payment provider processes the scheduled annual renewal charge.
Cancellation may be completed through the Stripe customer portal where available. DAN may provide access to the Stripe customer portal through the Member Area, including through the Membership page. You may also request cancellation by contacting DAN through the Member Area contact form, by emailing your DAN account manager, or by sending a written cancellation request to DAN’s support team.
Where a cancellation request is sent by email or contact form, the request must be received by DAN before the scheduled renewal charge is processed. Once a renewal charge has been processed, cancellation will prevent future renewals but will not automatically entitle you to a refund for the renewed annual subscription period, unless required by law or expressly agreed in writing by DAN.
Unless required by law or expressly agreed in writing, Membership fees are non-refundable once work has commenced, a profile has been activated, a listing has gone live, Member Area access has been granted, marketplace access has been enabled, onboarding has been provided, or paid features have been made available.
If you cancel during an annual subscription period, your paid Membership features may remain active until the end of that annual subscription period unless otherwise stated in your written agreement or unless DAN terminates access for breach.
Advertising Bookings, including featured directory placements, sponsored listings, and other reserved promotional positions, do not automatically renew unless expressly agreed in writing. Each Advertising Booking applies for the advertising period confirmed in the applicable media plan, invoice, email confirmation, or written agreement.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, advertising fees are payable in advance of publication or campaign start date. Once an Advertising Booking has been confirmed in writing by the Advertiser, DAN may reserve the relevant advertising inventory for that Advertiser. Unless required by law or expressly agreed in writing, advertising fees are non-refundable once advertising inventory has been reserved, a campaign has been scheduled, publication preparation has begun, or the placement has gone live.
For longer-term Advertising Bookings, including six-month media plans or other multi-month advertising packages, the applicable media plan, invoice, email confirmation, or written agreement will set out the advertising period, placements, estimated clicks or performance assumptions, monthly fees, payment schedule, and cancellation terms.
For six-month media plans or other long-term Advertising Bookings where the applicable media plan or written agreement states that advertising fees are payable monthly after publication begins, monthly payments are due within 5 days of the first day on which the relevant ads are published on the Digital Agency Network website, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
For multi-month Advertising Bookings, Advertisers may cancel advertising reservations for subsequent months by giving at least 30 days’ written notice. However, Advertisers may not cancel live ads for the current month or reserved ads for the following month. If an Advertiser cancels a multi-month Advertising Booking, the Advertiser remains responsible for paying the advertising costs for the current month and the following month where those ads are live, scheduled, reserved, or already committed.
If an Advertiser fails to pay for previously published, live, scheduled, or reserved advertising placements, DAN may suspend or cancel the Advertiser’s ads, remove or pause promotional assets, restrict paid visibility, suspend Member Area access, suspend or terminate any related Membership, remove the Advertiser’s assets from the Platform, and recover any outstanding amounts due.
DAN may review and amend advertising rates, estimated CPCs, placement pricing, media plans, advertising inventory, and paid feature availability from time to time, including on a six-monthly basis by reference to site traffic, average clicks, demand, visibility, performance data, and commercial factors. Estimated clicks, CPCs, impressions, or performance assumptions shown in a media plan are estimates only and are not guarantees.
Where a pricing or package change materially affects an active paid Membership or confirmed Advertising Booking, DAN will provide reasonable notice before the change takes effect, except where urgent changes are required for legal, security, operational, editorial, availability, or platform integrity reasons.
8. Rankings, Matching, Recommendations, and Visibility
DAN uses a combination of editorial judgment, verification data, profile information, quality assurance checks, structured directory data, algorithmic matching, commercial settings, and platform performance signals to organise, rank, recommend, display, match, or make available Agencies, SaaS Providers, Project Briefs, jobs, editorial content, advertising placements, and other Platform Content.
DAN’s ranking, recommendation, and matching systems are designed to support relevant B2B discovery while preserving the Platform’s core quality standards. Visibility on DAN is subject to verification, editorial oversight, platform relevance, and applicable commercial arrangements. Paid visibility may improve placement or promotional exposure, but it does not allow any User to bypass DAN’s baseline verification standards, manipulate reviews, alter DAN Insights, or override DAN’s editorial standards.
Ranking, matching, placement, routing, or visibility may be influenced by factors including:
- Membership tier;
- profile completeness;
- verified physical or operational location;
- geographic relevance;
- service category;
- sector or industry expertise;
- service-to-portfolio alignment;
- case studies and portfolio depth;
- client reviews and DAN Insights;
- pricing, minimum budget, or budget compatibility;
- team size, team visibility, and capability alignment;
- verified leadership or team presence in a relevant city, region, or market;
- technical and operational quality of the Agency or SaaS Provider’s website;
- service methodology, workflow clarity, and depth of stated expertise;
- client, award, badge, certification, or accolade verification;
- editorial quality and content accuracy;
- responsiveness, availability, and marketplace suitability;
- project scope, timeline, contract structure, and execution requirements;
- user behaviour and platform performance data;
- internal quality assurance checks;
- advertising, sponsored placement, featured listing, or media plan arrangements, where applicable.
Further rules relating to sponsored placements, advertising transparency, Marketplace Project Briefs, reviews and DAN Insights, SaaS tool listings, CV Pool access, editorial content, and User Content are set out in the relevant sections of these Terms.
DAN is not required to disclose the detailed operation of its ranking, recommendation, routing, advertising, editorial, or matching systems, including proprietary scoring methods, technical processes, source code, algorithms, weightings, commercial logic, or internal quality assessment methods.
We may update ranking, matching, categorisation, routing, advertising, editorial, and visibility systems at any time to improve quality, relevance, security, user experience, data integrity, fairness, platform performance, or commercial operation.
No User is entitled to any fixed ranking, permanent placement, guaranteed directory position, exclusive category, permanent visibility, minimum lead volume, minimum click volume, guaranteed Project Brief access, or guaranteed commercial outcome unless expressly agreed in a separate written contract.
9. Sponsored Listings, Advertising, and Paid Placement Transparency
DAN may offer paid visibility, sponsored placements, featured listings, recommended placements, Agency of the Month opportunities, SaaS tool promotions, media plans, or other advertising products.
Sponsored placements and other Advertising Bookings are available only to entities that satisfy DAN’s applicable eligibility and verification requirements. Unverified or low-quality providers cannot buy their way onto the Platform.
Paid placements must be contextually relevant to the directory, service, location, sector, tool category, or audience in which they appear. DAN may reject or amend any Advertising Booking that does not align with verified capabilities, geographic presence, service expertise, software features, or portfolio evidence.
Paid placements, featured slots, sponsored rows, or advertising positions may be marked with labels such as “AD”, “Sponsored”, “Featured”, or similar disclosure wording.
Commercial advertising arrangements do not alter DAN’s baseline verification status, DAN Insights, review summaries, eligibility checks, or core editorial standards.
Advertising projections, including impressions, clicks, CPC estimates, traffic estimates, lead expectations, or media plan forecasts, are estimates only and are not guarantees.
DAN may rotate advertising positions, update sponsored placements, amend media schedules, or adjust campaign delivery to preserve fairness, relevance, operational performance, or platform integrity.
Commercial account data, media plans, negotiated rates, and performance agreements are confidential unless expressly disclosed by DAN.
10. Marketplace Project Briefs and Brand Submissions
Brands may submit Project Briefs through the Platform for review, moderation, and potential distribution to relevant verified member Agencies.
Submitting a Project Brief does not guarantee publication, approval, Agency response, proposal quality, project completion, or successful appointment.
DAN may manually review, verify, approve, reject, amend, hold, or request clarification for Project Briefs before they are made available to Agencies.
As part of Project Brief validation, DAN may review:
- the Brand’s website;
- business identity and corporate information;
- contact person’s name, role, and authority;
- company email domain;
- LinkedIn or professional profile information;
- project scope;
- budget;
- timeline;
- geographic requirements;
- service needs;
- industry context;
- risk indicators or suspicious data.
DAN may reject Project Briefs that are incomplete, unrealistic, anonymous, unverifiable, submitted from inappropriate generic or public email addresses, outside DAN’s active Agency coverage areas, inconsistent with budget or timeline expectations, or otherwise unsuitable for the Platform.
Approved Project Briefs may be made available in full only within the private Projects section of the Member Area and only to matched, eligible, or verified member Agencies. Full Project Briefs are not intended for unrestricted public web publication and may include more detailed project scope, business context, contact details, and other information needed for Agencies to assess or respond to the opportunity.
DAN may display a limited number of recent project preview cards on public areas of the Platform, including the homepage, Marketplace page, or other promotional pages. These public previews may include simplified information such as project title, required services, industry, budget range, timing, project type, and broad location or region.
Public previews are intended to demonstrate Marketplace activity and support Platform conversion, and are not intended to disclose the Brand’s full identity, contact details, confidential information, or full Project Brief.
DAN may edit, shorten, categorise, anonymise, generalise, or reformat Project Brief information for public preview, internal moderation, Agency matching, notification, or Platform display purposes.
DAN may match and make Project Briefs available to relevant member Agencies using multi-variable criteria, including location, service line, industry track record, budget tier, contract structure, timeline, availability, and Agency capability.
DAN acts as a neutral introduction bridge. DAN does not charge commission on Agency-Client contracts, take percentage cuts from project fees, control Agency proposals, negotiate project contracts, monitor project delivery, or track the project lifecycle after connection unless separately agreed in writing.
11. Agency Use of Project Briefs, Leads, and Marketplace Data
Agencies receiving Project Briefs, lead information, Brand contact details, or other Marketplace data through DAN must use that information only for the purpose of evaluating and responding to the relevant business opportunity.
Project Briefs and related Brand information made available through the Member Area are provided to support relevant Agency-Brand introductions. Agencies must treat this information as confidential and must not use it for unrelated sales, marketing, database building, recruitment, resale, competitive intelligence, or any purpose outside the specific opportunity for which it was provided.
Agencies must not:
- spam Brands or send irrelevant mass pitches;
- contact Brands about services, locations, budgets, or project types that sit outside the relevant Project Brief or the Agency’s verified operational scope;
- add Brand contacts to unrelated marketing lists without a lawful basis;
- sell, transfer, scrape, export, disclose, or otherwise share lead data or Project Brief information with third parties;
- use lead data or Marketplace data to build competing databases, directories, lead lists, or prospecting tools;
- contact Brands abusively, excessively, deceptively, or in a way that could damage trust in the Platform;
- misrepresent their services, availability, pricing, credentials, locations, experience, team capacity, or portfolio;
- bypass DAN’s platform rules, matching logic, access controls, or Member Area restrictions;
- use Project Briefs, Brand contact details, or Marketplace data for any unlawful, misleading, exploitative, or unauthorised purpose.
Agencies should respond to relevant Brand opportunities professionally, accurately, and in good faith. Where an Agency chooses to respond to a Project Brief, it is responsible for ensuring that its proposal, pricing, availability, credentials, and service claims are accurate and not misleading.
Consistent misuse of Project Briefs, irrelevant pitching, exploitative outreach, privacy misuse, data sharing, abusive communication, or conduct that undermines Marketplace trust may result in restricted access, suspension, removal from Marketplace opportunities, termination of Membership, or permanent removal from the Platform.
Agencies are responsible for complying with applicable privacy, marketing, confidentiality, procurement, and anti-spam laws when using Project Briefs, lead information, Brand contact details, or other Marketplace data obtained through the Platform.
12. No Agency-Client Relationship with DAN
DAN operates as a neutral introduction, discovery, and connection layer. Any contract, statement of work, proposal, retainer, project agreement, employment arrangement, recruitment discussion, software purchase, or commercial relationship formed between Users is strictly between those Users.
DAN is not a party to any agreement between a Brand and an Agency, a Candidate and an Agency, a SaaS Provider and a User, an Advertiser and a third party, or any other Users unless DAN expressly signs a separate written agreement as a contracting party.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, DAN does not control, negotiate, approve, manage, supervise, monitor, or enforce any User-to-User contract, proposal, project, recruitment discussion, software purchase, payment, deliverable, timeline, or commercial relationship formed through or following use of the Platform.
DAN does not guarantee:
- Agency performance;
- Brand payment;
- project delivery;
- service quality;
- proposal accuracy;
- budget availability;
- Candidate suitability;
- job availability;
- recruitment outcomes;
- SaaS product performance;
- client satisfaction;
- commercial results;
- investment return;
- legal, tax, regulatory, procurement, or professional compliance by other Users.
Users are solely responsible for their own due diligence, negotiations, agreements, performance, payments, tax obligations, insurance, compliance, and dispute resolution.
DAN does not charge commission on Agency-Client contracts, take percentage cuts from project fees, charge placement commissions for Candidate introductions, or track the project, recruitment, or commercial lifecycle after a direct connection is established unless separately agreed in writing.
DAN has no obligation to mediate disputes between Brands, Agencies, SaaS Providers, Candidates, employers, Contributors, Advertisers, or other Users.
13. DAN Insights, Reviews, Ratings, and Reputation Information
DAN may collect, verify, curate, structure, summarise, display, or otherwise process client reviews, public feedback, testimonials, ratings, third-party B2B review data, case study signals, and other reputation information relating to Agencies, SaaS Providers, or other listed entities.
DAN may use manual editorial review, public source verification, third-party B2B review networks, provenance checks, project scope analysis, reviewer profile checks, Large Language Models, structured taxonomies, external-source audits, and internal quality assurance processes to produce review summaries or reputation digests, including “DAN Insights”.
DAN Insights may organise verified feedback into operational dimensions such as expertise, communication, services, pricing, and credibility.
DAN does not operate an open-form native public review field. This is intended to reduce fake reviews, spam, manipulation, self-authored praise, conflict-of-interest submissions, artificial rating inflation, and other untrusted reputation signals.
DAN may edit, summarise, structure, classify, or reformat review information for clarity, relevance, length, grammar, taxonomy, and usefulness, provided that DAN does not intentionally misrepresent the overall meaning of verified source material.
DAN may periodically audit review summaries, reputation information, and DAN Insights against live or publicly available external source data to identify errors, sentiment anomalies, outdated information, source unreliability, or possible manipulation.
DAN may remove, amend, suppress, flag, or investigate review information, rating information, reputation signals, or DAN Insights where we identify or reasonably suspect:
- fake reviews;
- concealed incentivised reviews;
- paid testimonial injection;
- fabricated review links;
- reciprocal review rings;
- astroturfing;
- self-authored reviews;
- review manipulation;
- attempts to manipulate LLM-assisted summaries or DAN Insights;
- deceptive client endorsements on external sources;
- source unreliability;
- inaccurate summarisation;
- defamatory content;
- conflicts of interest;
- misleading consumer or business review information.
Agencies or SaaS Providers may notify DAN if they believe published review information, rating information, DAN Insights, or reputation summaries are materially inaccurate. DAN may request evidence and will review the matter in good faith, but retains ultimate editorial discretion over whether and how the content is amended, retained, removed, clarified, or further investigated.
Any attempt to manipulate DAN’s review, reputation, ranking, rating, DAN Insights, or summary systems may result in restricted visibility, suspension, removal, termination of Membership, or permanent removal from the Platform.
14. User Content and Profile Autonomy
Approved Agencies and certain other Users may be permitted to upload or submit User Content, including profile text, logos, images, service descriptions, locations, pricing information, portfolios, case studies, Agency news, awards, client lists, job posts, SaaS tool information, editorial contributions, and other materials.
You retain ownership of your User Content. However, by uploading, submitting, sending, or making User Content available to DAN, you grant DAN a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, edit, format, display, publish, distribute, index, promote, translate, excerpt, analyse, and otherwise use that User Content for the purpose of operating, improving, verifying, marketing, and promoting the Platform.
This licence continues for as long as the User Content remains on the Platform and for a reasonable period thereafter for archival, legal, audit, compliance, backup, editorial, marketing, dispute-resolution, and record-keeping purposes.
You warrant that your User Content:
- is accurate, lawful, current, and not misleading;
- does not infringe any intellectual property, privacy, confidentiality, publicity, data protection, or contractual rights;
- does not contain defamatory, unlawful, discriminatory, obscene, abusive, or harmful material;
- does not include fabricated clients, false awards, fake partner badges, fake certifications, fabricated metrics, stolen case studies, misleading testimonials, unverified claims, or deceptive performance data;
- does not contain malware, tracking code, hidden scripts, viruses, or harmful technology;
- has been submitted with all necessary permissions, licences, consents, and rights, including in relation to client names, client logos, screenshots, testimonials, case study materials, third-party trademarks, images, and performance results;
- may lawfully be submitted, published, displayed, edited, promoted, and used by DAN under these Terms.
DAN may edit User Content for formatting, categorisation, grammar, clarity, SEO, readability, taxonomy, display consistency, legal compliance, and quality assurance. DAN may also remove, reject, archive, reclassify, suspend, hide, or request amendments to User Content at any time.
Post-verification profile content, such as Agency case studies and Agency news, may go live on the relevant Agency’s profile page without prior administrative review after the Agency has been approved and onboarded into the Member Area. However, such content remains the responsibility of the Agency and remains subject to ongoing audits, moderation, removal, and these Terms.
Agency-managed case studies and Agency news are intended to appear on the relevant Agency’s own profile page. They do not automatically populate DAN’s site-wide editorial feeds, main directory landing pages, guides, reports, or other editorial resources unless separately selected, reviewed, or approved by DAN.
If DAN identifies suspicious data, unverifiable claims, outdated information, intellectual property concerns, misleading metrics, or other anomalies in User Content, DAN may notify the relevant User and request amendment or removal. DAN may also remove or restrict the relevant content immediately where necessary to protect users, comply with law, preserve platform integrity, or prevent misleading information from remaining live.
15. SaaS Tools Directory and Software Listings
DAN may list SaaS tools, AI platforms, marketing technology providers, software vendors, and other tools relevant to digital agencies, marketers, Brand teams, and corporate procurement users.
SaaS Providers must ensure that all submitted tool information, feature claims, pricing information, screenshots, technical descriptions, integrations, customer support claims, security claims, AI capability claims, review information, and promotional materials are accurate, current, verifiable, and lawful.
DAN may audit SaaS Providers for operational viability, including active website status, accessible technical documentation, transparent pricing, feature capability, category fit, review authenticity, customer support visibility, integration claims, and technical relevance.
DAN may review the core feature claims of each tool and categorise tools only within directories that match their verified features. A tool may be rejected, reclassified, amended, suspended, or removed where its claims are unsupported, features are miscategorised, pricing is misleading, documentation is inadequate, reviews appear manipulated, technical capabilities are overstated, or the tool does not meet DAN’s standards.
DAN may reject, suspend, or remove any SaaS or AI tool listing that appears to be a shell entity, ghost product, inactive platform, non-operational software, misleading AI wrapper, or tool without sufficient evidence of active operations, real-world utility, or legitimate business activity.
Sponsored or featured SaaS tool placements may be marked with labels such as “AD”, “Sponsored”, “Featured”, or similar wording. Paid SaaS visibility does not allow a provider to bypass baseline eligibility checks, technical verification, category review, review integrity checks, DAN Insights, ratings, editorial standards, or other quality assurance processes.
SaaS Providers must not manipulate reviews, submit fabricated testimonials, misrepresent feature performance, exaggerate integrations, conceal material limitations, or use commercial placement to create a misleading impression of independent endorsement, technical capability, or market performance.
DAN does not guarantee the performance, security, uptime, integrations, pricing, suitability, accuracy, support quality, AI output, regulatory compliance, or legal compliance of any SaaS tool listed on the Platform. Users remain responsible for conducting their own due diligence before purchasing, subscribing to, integrating, or relying on any listed tool.
16. Jobs Board and Recruitment Features
Verified member Agencies may be permitted to publish job openings through the Platform.
Unless otherwise stated, job posts submitted by verified member Agencies may appear on both the Agency’s profile page and DAN’s public job board.
To support recruitment speed and Agency autonomy, job posts submitted by verified member Agencies may go live without prior administrative approval. However, the Agency posting the job remains solely responsible for the accuracy, lawfulness, and compliance of the job advert, including job title, salary, location, remote status, employment status, visa requirements, equal opportunity obligations, application instructions, and role description.
Access to job posting features is restricted to approved or verified member Agencies. Outside entities, unverified companies, or unauthorised users may not publish job openings through the Member Area.
DAN is not the employer, recruiter, employment agency, employment business, hiring manager, or placement agent for jobs posted by Agencies unless expressly agreed in writing.
DAN may monitor, amend, remove, archive, or request changes to job posts that appear outdated, misleading, discriminatory, suspicious, unlawful, inaccurate, inactive, or inconsistent with DAN’s standards.
Applicants and Candidates are responsible for verifying job opportunities before applying, sharing information, attending interviews, accepting any offer, or entering into any employment, freelance, contractor, or consultancy arrangement.
Agencies are responsible for complying with applicable employment, recruitment, immigration, equality, data protection, and anti-discrimination laws when posting jobs, reviewing applicants, or contacting Candidates.
17. CV Pool and Candidate Information
DAN may operate a curated CV Pool or candidate directory accessible only to paid, verified member Agencies through the Member Area.
The CV Pool is intended to function as a private, member-access candidate directory. It is not intended for public web publication, unrestricted public access, or indexing by search engines.
Candidates submitting CVs, profiles, or professional information must ensure that their submissions are accurate, current, lawful, and not misleading.
DAN may manually verify Candidate submissions using information such as LinkedIn profiles, employment history, education, role alignment, location, and professional background. DAN does not permit automated profile generation or unverified resumes to be listed in the CV Pool where verification is required.
DAN may reject, remove, amend, or decline to publish Candidate information where it is incomplete, misleading, unverifiable, inconsistent, suspicious, inappropriate, or where the Candidate’s stated role, experience, education, location, or career history does not reasonably align with the information provided or publicly verifiable professional sources.
Unless DAN expressly introduces a separate matching feature in the future, the CV Pool is made available as a candidate directory and does not apply automated algorithmic matchmaking or preferential ranking to Candidates.
Member Agencies accessing the CV Pool must use Candidate information only for legitimate recruitment, hiring, professional networking, or role-matching purposes. They must not scrape, sell, export, disclose, spam, enrich, misuse, or otherwise process Candidate data for unauthorised purposes.
DAN acts only as a secure introduction gateway. DAN does not guarantee Candidate suitability, availability, employment status, right to work, qualifications, references, salary expectations, location accuracy, willingness to relocate, or hiring outcomes.
DAN does not charge placement commissions and does not monitor or control communications once an Agency contacts a Candidate directly.
Use of Candidate personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy. Agencies accessing Candidate information are responsible for complying with applicable privacy, data protection, employment, recruitment, immigration, equality, and anti-discrimination laws.
18. Editorial Content, Guides, Feed, and Contributions
DAN may publish blog posts, interviews, press releases, industry guides, downloadable resources, marketing reports, thought leadership, Agency contributions, SaaS contributions, expert commentary, case studies, and other editorial content.
Publishing access is selective. DAN does not operate an open public publishing platform. Access to contribute to the Feed, guides, resources, or other editorial areas may be limited to verified Agencies, premium SaaS or AI platforms, recognised marketing professionals, approved Contributors, and other contributors accepted by DAN.
Contributors warrant that submitted material:
- is original or lawfully licensed;
- does not infringe intellectual property, privacy, confidentiality, publicity, contractual, or data protection rights;
- does not contain plagiarism, scraped content, copied ideas, fabricated data, fake quotes, misleading claims, or unverified performance metrics;
- is not low-value automated spam, spun content, repetitive corporate filler, or purely AI-generated copy without meaningful human expertise, editorial input, proprietary insight, or practical value;
- is supported by appropriate evidence where it includes data, statistics, case study results, technical claims, rankings, comparisons, or performance claims;
- accurately reflects the Contributor’s expertise, professional role, organisational affiliation, and experience;
- addresses real-world business challenges rather than serving only as promotional material;
- complies with DAN’s editorial requirements, quality assurance standards, and submission guidelines.
DAN may verify Contributors through LinkedIn profiles, professional backgrounds, organisational affiliation, job titles, employment history, public professional footprint, case studies, sector expertise, and other reasonable checks.
DAN may review, edit, rewrite, reject, fact-check, restructure, combine, update, archive, redirect, remove, or decline to publish editorial content at its discretion.
DAN may cross-reference external links, statistical citations, third-party references, performance claims, contributor credentials, and source materials to identify misleading conclusions, factual errors, sentiment anomalies, unsupported claims, plagiarism, or other quality issues.
DAN may use AI-assisted tools to support editing, summarisation, classification, formatting, quality control, AI-content screening, plagiarism detection, source checking, or content analysis. DAN retains human editorial oversight over final publication decisions.
Published editorial content may be periodically reviewed, refreshed, consolidated, redirected, archived, or removed where DAN identifies outdated trends, technical decay, overlapping content, search cannibalisation, inaccurate data, changed industry standards, or reduced usefulness to DAN’s audience.
Editorial content is provided for general information only. It does not constitute legal, financial, tax, investment, employment, technical, procurement, regulatory, or professional advice. Users should obtain appropriate advice before relying on any editorial content for business decisions.
19. Data Hygiene, Platform Maintenance, and Content Updates
DAN may conduct automated and manual maintenance of the Platform to preserve accuracy, technical performance, data integrity, search visibility, user experience, and platform quality.
Maintenance activities may include checks for broken outbound links, 404 errors, altered server response codes, outdated profiles, inactive websites, rebrands, mergers, acquisitions, closures, technical issues, duplicate or overlapping content, content decay, outdated trends, schema quality, search engine accessibility, and AI or LLM crawler accessibility.
DAN may update, merge, redirect, archive, remove, or amend Platform Content or User Content where necessary to preserve accuracy, quality, technical performance, search performance, topical authority, user experience, platform security, or data integrity.
DAN may review and maintain Agency profiles, SaaS listings, job posts, editorial resources, guides, landing pages, directory pages, public project previews, advertising assets, and other Platform areas as part of its ongoing quality assurance and maintenance processes.
DAN may remove, restrict, hide, archive, redirect, or request amendments to inactive, outdated, unverifiable, misleading, duplicated, low-quality, technically defective, non-compliant, or commercially obsolete content, listings, profiles, job posts, tools, advertisements, or editorial resources.
Where appropriate, DAN may consolidate overlapping editorial content, update outdated articles, merge underperforming resources into stronger pages, or apply redirects to preserve platform quality, search performance, and user experience.
DAN is not obliged to preserve any specific page, URL, ranking, profile version, job post, article, advertisement, listing, category, directory position, schema format, content format, or historic version indefinitely.

21. Rejection, Suspension, Removal, and Permanent Platform Removal
DAN may reject, suspend, restrict, delist, remove, terminate, or permanently remove any User, account, listing, profile, tool, job post, CV, Project Brief, advertisement, contribution, content, Membership, or Advertising Booking where DAN reasonably believes that:

- the User has submitted a fabricated agency, shell entity, ghost software or AI tool, fake contributor profile, stolen portfolio item, or unverifiable professional identity;
- the User has submitted plagiarised content, copied ideas, scraped data, stolen case studies, fabricated metrics, false badges, unverified awards, fake certifications, or deceptive performance claims;

Where reasonably practicable, DAN may provide notice and an opportunity to correct the issue. However, DAN may act immediately and without prior notice where the issue involves fraud, illegality, security risk, data misuse, review manipulation, IP infringement, false identity, fabricated claims, abusive conduct, repeated breach, non-payment, reputational harm, or urgent platform integrity concerns.
DAN may determine the appropriate enforcement action at its discretion, including content amendment, content removal, profile restriction, temporary suspension, loss of publishing privileges, loss of Marketplace access, loss of CV Pool access, loss of advertising access, cancellation of Advertising Bookings, termination of Membership, permanent removal from the Platform, or legal action.
DAN is not liable for loss of visibility, traffic, enquiries, leads, rankings, revenue, content, data, advertising exposure, search visibility, business opportunity, or commercial outcome resulting from lawful suspension, restriction, delisting, removal, termination, or enforcement action under these Terms.
22. Intellectual Property
All Platform Content and all intellectual property rights in the Platform are owned by or licensed to DAN, except for User Content owned by Users or third-party content used under licence or lawful permission.
Platform Content includes, without limitation, directory data, database structures, profile layouts, design, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, badges, ratings, review summaries, DAN Insights, matching outputs, ranking structures, taxonomies, schema structures, editorial resources, guides, software, code, user interface elements, and other materials created, curated, licensed, or controlled by DAN.
You must not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, license, scrape, frame, mirror, republish, extract, reverse-engineer, or otherwise exploit any Platform Content without DAN’s prior written permission, except as expressly allowed by these Terms or applicable law.
You must not use DAN’s trademarks, names, logos, badges, ratings, review summaries, screenshots, directory data, DAN Insights, or brand assets without prior written permission, except where DAN provides specific display materials or expressly permits use.
In addition to the User Content licence set out in these Terms, Agencies, SaaS Providers, Contributors, Advertisers, and other Users grant DAN permission to use their names, logos, trademarks, profile information, case studies, submitted content, public business information, and approved promotional materials for Platform operation, listing, verification, editorial, promotional, advertising, and marketing purposes in accordance with these Terms.
You must not use DAN’s name, logos, badges, listing status, review summaries, DAN Insights, or Platform references in a misleading way, including to imply verification, ranking, endorsement, partnership, advertising status, or approval beyond what DAN has expressly provided.
If you believe that content on the Platform infringes your intellectual property rights, you must notify DAN with sufficient information to identify the content, your rights, the basis of your complaint, and your contact details.
23. Third-Party Websites, Sources, and Services
The Platform may contain links or references to third-party websites, Agency websites, SaaS tools, social profiles, LinkedIn pages, Google Maps data, review platforms, payment processors, event pages, job application links, client websites, media sources, or other third-party resources.
DAN may use or refer to third-party sources for verification, quality assurance, review summaries, DAN Insights, editorial research, profile checks, SaaS validation, Project Brief moderation, and other Platform purposes.
DAN is not responsible for third-party websites, services, data, availability, policies, security, accuracy, pricing, content, changes, or omissions.
Links, references, source checks, review summaries, or third-party data signals do not imply endorsement unless expressly stated.
Users access third-party websites and services at their own risk and should review the applicable third-party terms, privacy policies, payment terms, and security practices.
24. Privacy, Data Protection, and Cookies
DAN processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
DAN Global (UK) Limited is registered with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office under registration number ZB055452.
Depending on your use of the Platform, DAN may process personal data relating to Agency representatives, Brand contacts, Project Brief submitters, Candidates, Contributors, SaaS Provider representatives, Advertisers, event submitters, job applicants, newsletter subscribers, gated content users, and other professional contacts.
You must not submit personal data to DAN unless you have the right, authority, consent, or lawful basis to do so.
Where you receive personal data through the Platform, including Project Brief contact details, lead information, Candidate data, Brand contact information, Member Area data, or other business contact information, you must process that data lawfully, fairly, securely, and only for the purpose for which it was provided.
You must not sell, export, scrape, enrich, disclose, misuse, or unlawfully share personal data obtained through the Platform.
Agencies, SaaS Providers, Advertisers, employers, Contributors, and other Users remain responsible for their own privacy notices, lawful bases, marketing permissions, recruitment compliance, security controls, and data protection obligations where they independently process personal data obtained through or submitted to the Platform.
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to operate the Platform, improve user experience, analyse traffic, support marketing activity, maintain security, measure advertising performance, and support Platform optimisation, subject to our Cookie Policy and applicable consent requirements.
25. Confidentiality
Full Project Briefs, Member Area data, lead information, Brand contact details, Candidate data, private media plans, advertising terms, commercial account metrics, unpublished editorial submissions, pricing arrangements, platform access credentials, internal matching information, and non-public DAN information are confidential.
Confidential information does not include information that is already public through authorised public Platform pages, public project preview cards, public Agency profiles, public SaaS listings, public job posts, published editorial content, or information lawfully obtained independently without breach of these Terms.
You must not disclose confidential information obtained through the Platform except where necessary for the specific authorised purpose, required by law, or agreed in writing by DAN.
You must take reasonable steps to protect confidential information from unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, scraping, export, or misuse.
This confidentiality obligation continues after your Membership, account, listing, Advertising Booking, campaign, contribution, or access ends.
26. Platform Availability and Changes
DAN aims to maintain a reliable, secure, high-quality Platform, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or permanent availability.
We may modify, suspend, restrict, replace, discontinue, or update any part of the Platform at any time, including features, directories, categories, membership benefits, ranking systems, matching systems, Member Area tools, CV Pool access, job board functionality, editorial sections, advertising formats, pricing pages, Project Brief workflows, data structures, schema, technical infrastructure, or crawler accessibility settings.
We may carry out maintenance, security updates, platform migrations, content audits, technical improvements, data hygiene work, editorial updates, performance improvements, emergency fixes, or operational changes without prior notice.

Users should conduct their own independent checks before entering into contracts, purchasing services, subscribing to SaaS tools, hiring Candidates, submitting proposals, relying on reviews, booking advertising, or making business decisions.

30. Complaints, Corrections, and Reporting
If you identify inaccurate content, suspicious profiles, fake reviews, misleading claims, unlawful material, intellectual property infringement, data misuse, fabricated entities, ghost tools, plagiarised content, deceptive advertising, suspicious Project Briefs, or behaviour that violates these Terms or DAN’s Quality Assurance & Editorial Standards, you may report it to DAN.

31. Changes to These Terms
DAN may update these Terms from time to time.
Where changes are material and affect active registered business Users, DAN will take reasonable steps to provide notice, such as email notification, account notice, website notice, invoice notice, Member Area notice, or publication of the updated Terms.
Unless a shorter period is required for legal, security, operational, payment, editorial, advertising, data protection, or urgent platform integrity reasons, material changes will usually take effect no earlier than 15 days after notice or publication.
Non-material changes, including editorial, formatting, clarification, legal reference, administrative, terminology, or consistency updates, may take effect immediately.
Your continued use of the Platform after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Platform and, where applicable, cancel your Membership or Advertising Booking in accordance with the cancellation provisions and any applicable written agreement.
32. Notices
DAN may send notices to you by email, dashboard notification, Member Area notification, website notice, invoice note, payment processor notification, or other contact details associated with your account, subscription, billing profile, or commercial relationship.

You are responsible for keeping your contact details, billing email address, account manager contact details, and payment information accurate and up to date.
Notices sent by email are deemed received on the next business day after sending, provided no bounce-back or delivery failure is received.
33. Force Majeure
DAN shall not be liable for delay or failure to perform any obligation where the delay or failure results from events beyond DAN’s reasonable control, including cyberattacks, hosting failures, network outages, payment processor failures, third-party provider failures, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, labour disputes, pandemics, regulatory action, changes in law, power failures, major technical disruption, search engine disruption, AI crawler disruption, or platform infrastructure failure.

35. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it lawful, valid, and enforceable. If modification is not possible, the provision shall be deemed severed.
The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
36. Waiver
No failure or delay by DAN in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms shall constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.
A waiver is effective only if given in writing and applies only to the specific circumstances for which it is given.
37. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Quality Assurance & Editorial Standards, and any applicable order form, invoice, media plan, proposal, advertising agreement, Membership package, payment confirmation, email confirmation, or written agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and DAN regarding your use of the Platform.
If there is a conflict between these Terms and a specific written commercial agreement signed or expressly accepted by DAN, the specific written agreement shall prevail only to the extent of that conflict.
Nothing in these Terms limits any non-excludable rights or obligations that apply under applicable law.
