DC-Services UK Terms & Conditions

Data Accuracy and Verification

Our terms stipulate that the accuracy of the records we produce is fundamentally dependent on the quality of the data supplied by the client or third-party sources. DC-SERVICES employs rigorous QA to ensure logical consistency, but our terms clarify that we do not perform independent forensic verification of primary source materials unless explicitly contracted. This section outlines the threshold for 'reasonable care' and the protocols for identifying and correcting data discrepancies. We establish a shared responsibility model where the client confirms the validity of the inputs processed by our systems.

• ›Written intake brief signed by the client
• ›Conflicts screen and independence check
• ›Defined deliverable list and retention envelope

Governance and Regulatory Boundaries

DC-SERVICES operates as an independent firm focusing on documentation and QA; we are not a financial institution. Our terms expressively prohibit the interpretation of our reports as investment advice, legal counsel, or tax opinions. We provide the structural evidence that compliance officers and regulators require, but we do not participate in the underlying transactions. These governance terms ensure that our role as a neutral documentarian is never conflated with the fiduciary duties of the client’s primary advisors or custodians, maintaining the necessary distance for objective QA.

• ›Source hashing at intake
• ›Role-based, time-bound access
• ›Two-stage review before release

Liability and Indemnification Limits

The financial and operational boundaries of our liability are clearly defined to ensure the sustainability of our institutional services. These terms limit DC-SERVICES’s exposure to direct damages arising from gross negligence, while excluding consequential losses, lost profits, or damages resulting from market volatility. Clients agree to indemnify DC-SERVICES against claims arising from their misuse of our documentation or their failure to provide accurate data. This balanced approach to risk allows us to maintain the high technical standards required for institutional-grade asset logging and risk intelligence reporting.

Termination and Data Retention

Upon the conclusion of a service agreement, our terms govern the sunsetting of access and the long-term retention of historical records. We adhere to rigorous UK data protection standards, and our terms specify the duration for which documentation remains available within our secure archive. For institutional clients, this ensures continuity for future audits even after a specific engagement has ended. These final provisions outline the orderly transition of data and the cessation of monitoring services, providing a clear exit strategy that preserves the integrity of all previously generated digital-asset records.
