Terms of Use

General terms for the use of sanctinel.com and the free screening tools offered there.

1. Provider & scope

The provider is Lotzer Digital UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Diepholzer Straße 7, 27751 Delmenhorst (hereinafter “we”). These terms apply to the use of the website sanctinel.com and the free tools provided there (partner check, goods check, AI document screening). Separate contractual agreements apply to any paid use of the API or the ERP extensions.

2. Description of service

Sanctinel matches the names or goods details you enter against publicly available sanctions, insolvency and export-control lists and provides an indicative assessment. Sanctinel is a screening aid and constitutes neither legal or tax advice nor a binding official classification. Hits and classifications are to be understood as an indication and require an independent manual review and approval. The responsible authority for authorizations in Germany is the BAFA.

3. No warranty for completeness & timeliness

We strive for a careful and up-to-date data basis but assume no warranty for the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the underlying lists and results. Lists change continuously; a check carried out once makes no statement about later points in time.

4. Use of the free tools

The free tools are intended for testing and demonstration purposes. Use is at your own responsibility. We may technically limit usage (e.g. through bot protection and query limits) and reserve the right to change, restrict or discontinue the service at any time. There is no claim to permanent availability. Automated or abusive use is prohibited.

5. User obligations

You undertake to enter or upload only data that you are authorized to process and not to infringe the rights of third parties. Do not provide more personal data than is necessary for the respective check.

6. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as under the Product Liability Act and for injury to life, body or health. In the event of a slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. Otherwise, liability is excluded. In particular, we are not liable for decisions made on the basis of the indicative results; responsibility for compliance with sanctions and export-control obligations remains with the users.

7. Data protection

You can find information on the processing of personal data in our privacy policy.

8. Changes to the terms

We may amend these terms of use with effect for the future. The version published at the time of use applies in each case.

9. Applicable law & place of jurisdiction

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Where permissible, the place of jurisdiction is the provider's registered office. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the state of residence remain unaffected.
