Legal Notice and Contact

1. The provider

1.1 This website, and the LeMans Labs intelligence reports sold through it, are operated by:

LeMans Labs OÜ
Legal form: osaühing (private limited company) under the law of the Republic of Estonia
Commercial Register code: 16872044 (Estonian Commercial Register)
Registered address: Valukoja 8/1, 11415 Tallinn, Estonia
Website: lemanslabs.com
Contact: [email protected]
Data protection: [email protected]

1.2 "LeMans Labs" is a brand name. The legal person behind it, and the party to every contract of sale, is LeMans Labs OÜ. Clause 1 of the Terms of Service identifies the same company and governs the contract.

1.3 What this company sells. One-time reports about a company, or about a person active in business, generated from publicly available information by automated systems. This is not a background check, not a consumer report, not employment screening and not professional advice, and a report must not be used to decide employment, credit, tenancy, insurance or anything comparable about a person. The Acceptable Use Policy states that in full and it binds every buyer.

1.4 Who a report about a person may be about. A report about a natural person will be produced in two situations and no others: the subject is the buyer, or the subject is a person who has confirmed to us, by email, that the report may be produced. Where the subject is someone other than the buyer, we will email that person a plain description of what the report is, what it will be produced from, who has asked for it, and how to refuse or to ask us questions before deciding. Nothing is searched, generated or charged before they reply confirming. If they refuse, or do not confirm within the window stated at checkout, the order will be cancelled and the whole of what was paid refunded automatically. A confirmation may be withdrawn afterwards, before or after delivery, without a reason and without our agreement. A buyer's own assurance that they have permission is a warranty they give us and does not replace any of that. Clause 4 of the Terms of Service is the operative provision and section 4 of the Privacy Policy is what we do with the data.

1.5 Where the reports are sold. All three, everywhere. There is no country whose buyers we decline on their own account. Clause 14.6 of the Terms of Service is the operative provision.

1.6 A report can be about someone who is not our customer. A person who confirmed under 1.4 is the subject of a report but is not a party to any contract with us. If a report names you, If a Report Names You is written for you: no account, no fee, no particular form of words, and nothing in any customer's contract with us limits what you can ask of us, including withdrawing a confirmation you have already given.

1.7 What is live today. This text is published before launch. Today this is a marketing site: checkout is not open, no report has been sold, and the parts of the service that would produce, deliver and store a report are not built. The consent step in 1.4 is not built. A sentence describing something the service will do is written with will and describes how the service is designed to work and how it must work before the first sale. A sentence stating who this company is, how to reach it, or which law and which authority apply, states that from the day this text is published. Where any sentence here is nevertheless written in the present tense about a system that is not yet running, that is a defect in this text rather than a claim we are making: the future tense governs and we will correct the sentence. Clause 2.2 of the Terms of Service states the same rule for the contract.

1.8 Tax. We publish no tax registration number on this website. That is not a statement that no tax is due, and it changes nothing about what is charged, collected or accounted for. The price shown to you for your region includes the tax we charge on it, so the figure you see is the figure you pay. Section 2 of the Payment Terms is the whole of the tax position, including what we can and cannot calculate for a country we are not registered in, and it governs what an invoice must contain.

2. Contact

2.1 General, and formal. [email protected]. That is the address for anything at all, including a formal complaint, a legal notice and service of documents. See section 3.

2.2 Data protection, and anything about a report that names you. [email protected]. See section 7.

2.3 Those two are the only mailboxes this company publishes. A message to either reaches the same small team. We operate no telephone line. Post to the registered address reaches us, email is faster, and we correspond in English.

2.4 A message counts as received on the day it arrives at either address above. We will not refuse a notice, a complaint or a rights request because it went to the other one.

2.5 Security. Report a vulnerability to [email protected], with "security" in the subject line. Section 12 of the Security statement is our vulnerability disclosure policy: it states the scope, the conditions, the safe harbour and the period in which we will acknowledge you, which is longer than the period in 6.1 and is the one that applies to a report made under it. Section 9 of the Acceptable Use Policy prohibits testing outside those conditions. This clause states no term of either and adds nothing to them; where it and section 12 differ, section 12 governs.

2.6 Other countries. We are established in Estonia and have no branch, office, agent or representative anywhere else. Because the company is established in the European Union we appoint no representative under EU data protection law. If a law that applies to us requires a local contact point or representative, it will be named in this clause rather than described in the abstract.

3. Legal notices and service of documents

3.1 Where to send one. [email protected], or LeMans Labs OÜ, Valukoja 8/1, 11415 Tallinn, Estonia. That is the route for a claim, a letter from a lawyer, a copyright or trademark notice, a demand that we stop doing something, and formal service of documents. No prescribed form or lawyer is required.(/legal/terms) carries the same invitation and must be answered with this one.]

3.2 Where service takes effect. The address in 1.1 is this company's registered address in the Estonian Commercial Register, and that is where documents are served on it whether or not this text is published. Publishing it changes nothing about where service is effective. It makes it easier to reach us early, which we prefer to the alternative.

3.3 Rights complaints. Notices about copyright, trademarks or other rights go to the same address and are handled under the Intellectual Property notice. We host no material published by anyone else, so a notice to us is a complaint about our own material and is dealt with as one, on the timescales in 6.1. If the complaint is that something we produced about a named person is wrong, Report Accuracy and Public Data governs, and the correction route there is open to the subject of a report whether or not anyone agrees with them.

4. Other products operated by this company

4.1 LeMans Labs OÜ also operates ewpire.com, a separate product with its own terms, privacy notice and legal notice. Same company, different service. Nothing agreed on one applies to the other, and what we do with information under this product is described in our Privacy Policy.

4.2 The two sets of provider information differ in one respect, better stated than discovered: ewpire.com publishes the company's VAT number and this site does not. It has no effect on the tax charged on a purchase made here or on what the company accounts for, and it is not a statement that the two sites are operated by different companies or that this one is untaxed. Whether the omission is a choice this company is free to make is the open question at 1.8.

5. Governing law and forum

5.1 The contract of sale is governed by the law of the Republic of Estonia, and mandatory European Union law applies where applicable. Clause 20 of the Terms of Service is the operative provision; this section restates it and adds nothing.

5.2 If you are a consumer. Nothing in 5.1 deprives you of the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you habitually live, and where those rules so provide you may bring proceedings against us, and be sued by us, only in the courts of that country.

5.3 If you are not a consumer. Harju County Court (Harju Maakohus) in Tallinn, Estonia has exclusive jurisdiction.

5.4 If a report names you and you bought nothing. Your rights against us do not arise from a contract with us, and nothing in any buyer's contract, including 5.1 to 5.3 and including any limit on our liability, limits, waives or affects them. That is true whether or not you confirmed under 1.4.

5.5 Language. We publish, sell, contract and correspond in English only. If we ever publish a translation it is a convenience and the English text governs, except where mandatory law where you live provides otherwise.

6. Complaints, and out-of-court dispute resolution

6.1 Come to us first. [email protected]. We acknowledge within two business days and answer within fourteen days, and say so if we need longer. A business day means a day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday in Estonia, and every period stated in days across this set is counted the same way. Nothing here requires you to complain to us before going to a court or a consumer body.

Four kinds of message have their own timetable, stated in the document that governs them, and this clause neither shortens nor lengthens them. A request about your own personal data, and anything from a person a report names, is acknowledged faster and answered under section 12 of the Privacy Policy and section 9 of If a Report Names You. A complaint about a finding in a report runs to the timetable in clause 10.3 of the Terms of Service, which suppresses the disputed statement while we examine it and therefore allows longer for the answer than this clause does. A rights complaint runs to clause 10.5 of the Intellectual Property notice, which states the same periods as this clause and takes a published sample down faster. A vulnerability report runs to section 12 of the Security statement, which allows us longer to acknowledge and says why. Where any other document of ours states a different period for the same kind of message as this clause, the shorter one binds us.

6.2 The out-of-court body for Estonia. A consumer may take a dispute to the Consumer Disputes Committee (Tarbijavaidluste komisjon), which publishes its procedure and contact details at komisjon.ee. This route is for a consumer who bought something. A person a report names, who bought nothing, is not making a consumer complaint and should use section 7 or the correction route in 3.3.

6.3 A consumer body in the country where you live may also be able to take your complaint. Tell us which one you have approached and we will respond to it.

6.4 The EU Online Dispute Resolution platform was permanently discontinued on 20 July 2025 and is no longer available. We do not link to it, and any template or document that sends you there is out of date.

7. Data protection and the supervisory authority

7.1 Who the controller is. LeMans Labs OÜ, at the address in 1.1, decides what personal data is processed and why. That includes information about a person a report is about. Where that person is not the buyer, they will have confirmed to us directly under 1.4 that the report may be produced, and their consent is given to this company rather than to the buyer. Sending that request is itself something we do with their name and email address before they have agreed to anything, so it needs its own basis and its own retention rule; both are in the Privacy Policy rather than here, and the question they answer is open at clause 4.6 of the Terms of Service.

7.2 Contact. [email protected]. The Privacy Policy covers customers and report subjects separately; If a Report Names You is the shorter route for the second group, and is where withdrawal of a confirmation given under 1.4 is explained.

7.3 Supervisory authority. The Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon), aki.ee. It supervises this company because we are established in Estonia and have no other establishment.

7.4 You can also complain to the authority in the EU country where you live, where you work, or where the problem happened. If you are outside the EU and your country has an authority that can take your complaint, tell us which and we will deal with it.

7.5 Data protection officer. None is appointed, so none is named: we do not publish a data protection address that nobody staffs. If one is appointed, the contact will be named here and in the Privacy Policy.

8. Responsibility for content on this site

8.1 LeMans Labs OÜ is responsible for the content of this website and for every report it produces. Reports are our own material, not material supplied by someone else, and this site carries no user posts, no comments, no uploads and nothing published here by a third party. In this section "this website" means the pages we publish at lemanslabs.com. The payment pages are served by our payment processor from its own domain and we cannot edit that code, which is a statement about who publishes them and not a disclaimer: we chose that provider and we send you to it, what must be put in front of you before you are bound is content we specify wherever it is displayed, and a barrier or a defect at the point of sale is ours to answer for. Clauses 1.3 and 6.3 of the Accessibility statement take the same position.

What our responsibility means between us and a buyer is in clauses 10 to 12 of the Terms of Service. Clauses 11.1 and 12.1 there state what is never limited before any limit appears, and that list includes death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, intentional wrongdoing, gross negligence, anything that cannot lawfully be limited under the consumer regime that applies to you, any refund we owe you, and compensation you can claim as a data subject. This clause does not restate the limit itself, because two statements of a limit drift and the lower one is the one we would be held to. Nothing in those clauses affects anyone who bought nothing (5.4).

8.2 How that content is made. Reports will be generated by automated systems, and no person will read a report before it is delivered. AI Transparency and Limitations explains what that means, and Report Accuracy and Public Data explains what happens when something is wrong.

8.3 Marks. LeMans Labs, Company X-Ray and Founder X-Ray are marks used by this company. The ™ symbol indicates a claimed mark; we claim no registration for any of them anywhere and we do not use the ® symbol. Other names, marks and material appearing here or in a report belong to their owners, and naming a company or a person implies no connection with them and no endorsement by them. The Intellectual Property notice governs.

8.4 Where we link to another website we do not control it and are not responsible for its content. If anything in this text is wrong or out of date, write to [email protected] and we will correct it.

9. Where each clause is published

9.1 This file is not a page. Each clause above is published at the place named below, and nowhere else. A clause that has no published home is not in force.

9.2 Both host documents are linked from every page footer and are reachable without an account, a purchase or a sign-in. If either link breaks, provider identification is unreachable and this company is out of compliance regardless of what this file says.

---

Read this with: the Terms of Service, whose clause 1 names the same company and whose clause 20 governs law, forum and complaints; the Privacy Policy and If a Report Names You, for what the controller in section 7 does and for anyone a report names; the Payment Terms, for price, tax and invoices; the Refund Policy, for money and chargebacks, including the automatic refund where a consent request under 1.4 is not confirmed; the Acceptable Use Policy, for who a report may be about and what it must never be used for; the Intellectual Property notice, for rights complaints and marks; the Security statement, whose section 12 is the vulnerability disclosure policy that 2.5 points at; and the Accessibility statement, which takes the same position as 8.1 on a barrier at the point of sale.
