Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your use of the DDS service — a platform for trust and risk-intelligence checks on overseas suppliers and manufacturers (the “Service”). Registering, opening an account, or using the Service constitutes full acceptance of these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Service provider: DDS — Demand Driven Sourcing · Israeli business reg. no. 058682576 · Mahari Kapach 7, Ganei Modi'in 7192900, Israel · Contact: partners@ddssourcing.com.

The Service runs an automated check that gathers public information about a supplier or manufacturer, analyzes it with artificial intelligence, and produces a risk assessment and report including cited sources, a confidence level, and sometimes draft outreach messages. The Service is designed to support your decision before you contact a supplier or send them money.

A typical check takes a few minutes (usually up to ~10 minutes). The result is saved to your account, and where needed we email you a link to the report when the check completes.

This section is material. The assessment the Service produces is an informational assessment based on public sources and automated analysis — not a guarantee, certification, official rating, or professional opinion regarding any supplier’s reliability, competence, financial standing, or integrity.

• “Found” is not “verified.” Information gathered from public search may be partial, outdated, or wrong. The Service states what was checked, what was not, and the confidence level — it never declares “safe to send money.”
• Your decision. You are solely responsible for every business decision — including contact, ordering, deposits, or bank transfers. Conduct your own due diligence (for example, confirming bank details in a direct call with the supplier) before transferring any funds.
• Fraud flags. When the Service raises a possible flag (for example, a change in a bank beneficiary), it is an alert for human review that cites its source — not an automated action and not a legal determination.

Using the Service requires an account with a valid email address. You must provide accurate, current details (including name and company, used to sign outreach to manufacturers) and keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

The Service is intended for business use by adults. Do not open an account for another person without their authorization.

• Prepaid credits. Checks are purchased as prepaid credits (packs priced in US dollars). A credit is consumed in exactly two cases: a successfully completed manufacturer check (one credit), and a deep analysis of a manufacturer reply received in the platform (one credit per reply, once). Translation, drafts, and comparisons consume no credits. Credits do not expire and remain in your account balance.
• Failed check — not charged. If a check fails or returns no result, the credit reserved for it is automatically refunded to your account.
• Monthly subscription. You may purchase a monthly subscription granting a fixed monthly credit allowance. The subscription renews automatically each month until cancelled, and can be cancelled at any time via the customer portal (see Refund & Cancellation Policy).
• Merchant of Record. Payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited as Merchant of Record — they collect payment on our behalf, handle applicable taxes, and issue your receipt/invoice. Your card details are provided to Paddle and are not stored by us.
• Pricing. Current prices are shown on the Pricing page and may change; a purchase already made will not be re-priced retroactively.

Cancellation and refund rights, including the statutory cancellation right under Israeli consumer law, are detailed in the Refund & Cancellation Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

When using the Service you agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of third-party rights;
• attempt to bypass limits, quotas, or security mechanisms, or place automated load on the system;
• resell, distribute, or copy the Service’s outputs beyond your internal business use, without written permission;
• enter false details or impersonate another party.

Breach of this section may result in suspension or termination of the account.

The Service and its outputs are provided “as-is” and without warranty of any kind. DDS is not liable for direct, indirect, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the Service, reliance on an assessment, or any business decision you make (including payment to a supplier).

Liability cap: in any event, DDS’s total liability to you shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for the Service in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This section is subject to any mandatory provision of law that cannot be contracted out of.
