These terms govern your use of Chartive. By using the site or creating an account, you agree to them.
Chartive is operated by WU Socialmedia GbR, Bonländer Hauptstraße 34, 70794 Aichtal, Germany (“we”, “us”). Contact: info@wu-socialmedia.de.
Chartive is a discovery platform for data visualizations and data stories, with their sources and methodology. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.
You must provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. You must be legally able to enter into these terms.
You retain ownership of the visualizations and other content you submit. By submitting, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, reproduce, and distribute your content on and through Chartive, and to show it under the licence you choose for reuse. You confirm that you created the content or have all necessary rights and permissions, that the underlying data may be shown, and that your content does not infringe third-party rights. Our submission guidelines are part of these terms.
Submissions are reviewed before publication (trusted creators may publish directly). We may edit, decline, unpublish, or remove content — for example if it breaches these terms or the guidelines, lacks proper sourcing, or is subject to a valid complaint — and we may suspend or terminate accounts that misuse the service.
Each visualization is published under the licence shown on its page. When reusing content, follow that licence and the attribution it requires. See our licensing page for details.
The Chartive name, design, and software are protected and remain ours. Nothing in these terms transfers those rights to you.
Visualizations reference third-party data and link to external sources we do not control. While we aim for traceable, well-sourced content, we do not warrant that every figure is complete, current, or error-free. Content is provided for information only and is not professional advice.
The service is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, we are liable without limitation only for intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body, or health. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation, and limited to foreseeable, typical damage. Mandatory statutory rights, including under the German Product Liability Act, remain unaffected.
We may update these terms. We will post the updated version here with a new date; continued use after changes means you accept them.
German law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected.
