D&B Terms of Use

This document governs access to and use of the Dun & Bradstreet websites and related sites, establishing a clickwrap agreement that binds users to terms covering intellectual property, data use, account security, content restrictions, liability limitations, and dispute resolution. The agreement states that users grant D&B a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and worldwide license to use posted content including name and likeness, and authorizes D&B to access, preserve, and disclose account information and content upon a good faith belief that such access is reasonably necessary for legal compliance, enforcement, or safety purposes. Notable provisions include a broad perpetual content license, a unilateral right to terminate accounts without notice and bar re-registration for one year, a comprehensive disclaimer of all warranties including accuracy and completeness of business data, and a limitation of liability clause that eliminates recovery for direct, indirect, consequential, and punitive damages with the stated sole remedy being discontinuation of use; the scope of these provisions may be constrained by applicable consumer protection laws in certain jurisdictions, and the enforceability of some clauses varies by jurisdiction. The agreement engages GDPR, CCPA, and other jurisdictional data protection frameworks through its cross-border data transfer consent clause and its references to location-specific legal requirements, and compliance teams should note that D&B's role as a major commercial data broker places its practices under ongoing FTC scrutiny; the adequacy of the document's consent mechanism for international data transfers may require evaluation under GDPR transfer rules, and California residents may have independent rights under CCPA that supplement or override certain document terms.
