Version 2026-09 · Last updated 25 September 2026

1. Legal Notice (Aviso Legal)

In accordance with Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI-CE), the owner of this website is:

KLARED TECHNOLOGIES, S.L.Registered office: Rúa Papagaio, 0, 15002 A Coruña, SpainTax ID (NIF): B26991331Registered in the Commercial Registry of A Coruña, electronic volume and folio, sheet C-67823E-mail: hello@klared.com

2. Scope

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the website https://klared.com (the "Website") and the KLARED Platform (the "Platform"). By using the Website or the Platform you accept these Terms.

Access to the Platform is only available to organisations that have signed a SaaS License Agreement with KLARED (a "Customer Agreement") and to the named users those organisations designate ("Authorized Users"). If there is any conflict between these Terms and a Customer Agreement, the Customer Agreement prevails.

3. Use of the Website

You may browse the Website and use its content for personal information or to evaluate KLARED's services. You must not use the Website in a way that is unlawful, that damages or overloads it, or that interferes with other people's use of it, including by introducing malicious code, attempting unauthorised access or using automated means to extract its content.

4. Access to the Platform

4.1. Authorized Users must keep their access credentials confidential, must not share their account and must inform their organisation and KLARED immediately of any unauthorised use.

4.2. Authorized Users may use the Platform only for the internal purposes of their organisation, as set out in its Customer Agreement.

4.3. KLARED may suspend access where it reasonably suspects misuse, a security risk or a breach of these Terms or of the Customer Agreement, informing the Customer where possible.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • copy, reproduce, modify or create derivative works of the Platform or any part of it;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Platform, or attempt to obtain its source code, except where the law expressly allows it;
  • circumvent, disable or interfere with any security or technical protection measure;
  • sell, sublicense, rent, lend or otherwise make the Platform or its content available to third parties;
  • use the Platform to build a competing product or for any purpose not permitted by the Customer Agreement;
  • use the Platform in breach of any applicable law.

6. Personal data about alumni and professionals

The Platform may display information about identified or identifiable people, such as university alumni ("Alumni data"). Authorized Users may use Alumni data only for the purposes permitted in the Customer Agreement: understanding alumni careers, alumni relations and engagement, and measuring the institutional and economic impact of education and research, including identifying alumni-founded companies. In particular, Alumni data must not be:

  • sold, sublicensed, published or otherwise disclosed to third parties;
  • used for employment screening, creditworthiness, eligibility or any other decision with legal or similarly significant effects on individuals;
  • combined with special categories of personal data;
  • used for advertising or marketing unrelated to alumni relations.

When contacting a person using Alumni data, the Customer must inform that person of the source of the data and of how to opt out, and must comply with applicable data-protection and electronic-communications rules. Inferred relationships and confidence indicators shown in the Platform are estimates, not confirmed facts.

7. Public-source information

The Platform displays information compiled from publicly accessible sources and licensed data providers. Such information may be incomplete, outdated or inaccurate, and may be subject to third-party rights and to the terms of the original sources. Public availability does not grant any right to reuse, extract, publish or distribute it beyond what these Terms and the Customer Agreement allow. You should verify information before relying on it for decisions or external communications.

8. Intellectual property

The Website, the Platform, their software, databases, design, texts, graphics, logos and trademarks are owned by KLARED or its licensors and are protected by intellectual and industrial property laws. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms or in a Customer Agreement, no rights are granted to you. Content that customers upload remains the property of the customer.

If you send us suggestions or feedback about the Platform, we may use them to improve our services without any obligation to you, and without disclosing any confidential information.

9. Links to third-party websites

The Website and the Platform may contain links to third-party websites. KLARED does not control and is not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

10. Availability and liability

10.1. We make reasonable efforts to keep the Website and the Platform available and secure, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Availability may be affected by maintenance, network problems or events outside our control.

10.2. The Website and its content are provided for general information. To the extent permitted by law, KLARED is not liable for decisions taken on the basis of information on the Website or in the Platform, or for damage caused by third-party networks, systems or sources.

10.3. For Customers and their Authorized Users, KLARED's liability is governed exclusively by the Customer Agreement.

10.4. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

11. Privacy and cookies

Our processing of personal data, including our use of cookies, is described in our Privacy Policy: https://klared.com/en/privacy.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms, for example to reflect changes to our services or to the law. The version number and date at the top show when they were last updated. Continued use of the Website or the Platform after an update means you accept the updated Terms. Changes do not affect the terms of an existing Customer Agreement unless agreed in writing.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Spanish law. Any disputes shall be submitted to the courts of A Coruña (Spain), unless mandatory law provides otherwise – in particular, where you act as a consumer, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence.
