Terms of Service
Screengood — sanctions, PEP and watchlist screening service
Effective date: 24 September 2026 · Version 1.2
A German translation of these Terms is available at /nutzungsbedingungen; both versions are equally binding. In the event of any discrepancy between the language versions arising from translation, this English version prevails.

("Zentrolink", "we", "us")
2. Scope and acceptance
These Terms govern your access to and use of the Screengood web service at screengood.com, including its user interface, account area and any application programming interface we make available (the "Service").
By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.
3. Business customers only
The Service is offered exclusively to businesses, self-employed professionals, public bodies and other organisations acting in a professional capacity (Unternehmer within the meaning of § 14 BGB). It is not offered to consumers. By registering you confirm that you are acting in the course of your trade, business or profession.
3.1 Before completing any payment you must additionally confirm, by a dedicated checkbox on the payment step, that you are acting as an Unternehmer within the meaning of § 14 BGB and not as a consumer. We do not collect your company name or VAT ID for this purpose — only the confirmation itself, together with the account, timestamp, the wording version shown to you and the originating IP address, which we retain as evidence of the declaration. Payment cannot proceed without this confirmation.
3.2 Responsibility for the accuracy of this declaration rests entirely with you. If you confirm business use while in fact acting as a consumer, you bear the consequences of that misrepresentation; we are entitled to rely on your confirmation without further verification.
4. Registration and account
4.1 Access requires an account. You may register with an email address and password, or using Google Sign-In, in which case Google transmits your name and email address to us. If you register with an email address and password, you must verify your email address before using certain features.
4.2 You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.
4.3 Account credentials are personal. You are responsible for all activity carried out through your account and must notify us without undue delay at [email protected] if you become aware of unauthorised use.
4.4 Accounts may not be shared between individuals unless your subscription plan expressly provides for multiple named users.
5. Description of the Service
5.1 Screengood searches names and related identifiers against sanctions lists, politically exposed person (PEP) records, law-enforcement and regulatory watchlists and comparable publicly available sources, and returns possible matches together with source references.
5.2 The Service returns candidate matches, not determinations. Matching is performed by automated comparison and is inherently probabilistic. Results may include false positives (persons who are not the person on the list) and may fail to include a relevant record (false negatives).
5.3 The Service does not constitute legal, compliance or regulatory advice. It does not discharge any obligation you may have under anti-money-laundering, sanctions, export control or other legislation. You remain solely responsible for reviewing results, for any decision you take, and for meeting your own regulatory duties.
5.4 We do not decide, and take no position on, whether any listed person is in fact subject to a measure. We reproduce and index what the underlying sources publish.
6. Source data and its limitations
6.1 The underlying data originates from official and publicly accessible sources maintained by third parties (authorities, regulators, international organisations and comparable bodies). We do not control those sources.
6.2 Sources are re-read at intervals. Availability and update frequency vary by source and are outside our control: a source may change its format, restrict access, become temporarily unreachable or cease publication. Consequently we do not warrant that any given source is complete, current or continuously available.
6.3 Where our interface displays the time a source was last retrieved, that indication is provided for your assessment and should be taken into account when relying on a result.
7. Subscriptions, fees and payment
7.1 The Service is provided under the plan selected at the time of purchase. Applicable features, usage volumes and prices are those published on our website or agreed in writing.
7.2 Unless stated otherwise, prices are net and exclusive of statutory value added tax.
7.3 Fees are payable in advance for the agreed billing period. Payments are processed by third-party payment service providers; their terms apply to the payment transaction itself.
7.4 A paid plan is purchased for one billing period of no more than twelve (12) months from your prepaid balance. There is no automatic renewal and no automatic charge to your card; a further period starts only if you actively purchase it.
7.5 Either party may terminate the subscription with effect from the end of the current billing period. The right of both parties to terminate for cause remains unaffected.
7.6 We may block access where fees remain unpaid after a reminder and a reasonable additional period.
7.7 The Service is funded through a prepaid account balance denominated in our billing currency (EUR). You top up this balance by bank card (Visa or Mastercard) or another payment method offered on the Revolut checkout page (Revolut Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay); the amount received is credited to your account balance. Activating, renewing or upgrading a paid plan debits the balance by the corresponding amount.
7.8 Each plan includes a defined screening allowance (per day and/or per month) and a feature set, as published in the plan catalogue at the time you select or renew it. A plan you select is bound to the specific plan terms in force at that time for that plan (a "revision"); publishing amended plan terms for a plan does not retroactively change the terms of an existing assignment.
7.9 Only successfully completed payments are credited to your prepaid balance; an unsuccessful or cancelled payment does not fund a plan.
7.10 If you do not purchase a new period when a paid period ends, your access is not suspended but limited to the free plan's screening allowance; section 7.6 remains unaffected.
7.11 About seven (7) days before a paid period ends, we email you the end date and how to purchase a new period.
7.12 As there is no automatic renewal, no cancellation is needed to avoid further payments.
7.13 Refunds, cancellation and the treatment of unused prepaid balance are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
8. Acceptable use
You may not:
- resell, sublicense, redistribute or otherwise make the Service or bulk extracts of its data available to third parties, unless expressly agreed in writing;
- use automated means to extract data beyond the interfaces and volumes provided for in your plan, or circumvent rate limits or technical access controls;
- use the Service to harass, intimidate, discriminate against or otherwise cause unjustified detriment to any person;
- use results as the sole basis for a decision producing legal effects concerning a person without human review;
- upload unlawful content, malware, or data you are not entitled to process;
- impair the integrity, security or availability of the Service.
We may suspend access where there is reasonable ground to believe these provisions have been breached, and will inform you of the reason.
9. Intellectual property
9.1 The Service, its software, interface, structure, aggregation and enrichment of data are protected by law and remain our property or that of our licensors.
9.2 For the term of your subscription we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for your internal business purposes in accordance with these Terms. No other rights are granted.
9.3 Rights in the underlying source material remain with the respective source.
10. Your data and confidentiality
10.1 Search queries you submit and content you upload remain yours. We process them to provide the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy.
10.2 We treat your queries as confidential and do not disclose them to third parties except where necessary to provide the Service, or where required by law.
10.3 Our processing of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy at screengood.com/privacy.
10.4 The Data Processing Agreement under Article 28 GDPR (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag) forms part of these Terms when you submit personal data about other people for screening.
11. Availability
11.1 We aim to keep the Service continuously available but do not warrant uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, security measures, faults at upstream providers and force majeure may cause interruptions.
11.2 We will endeavour to announce planned maintenance in advance and to schedule it so as to minimise disruption.
11.3 A specific availability level applies only where expressly agreed in writing.
12. Warranty
12.1 We provide the Service in accordance with these Terms and with due professional care.
12.2 Given the nature of the underlying sources (section 6), we give no warranty that results are complete, accurate, current or fit for any particular regulatory purpose.
12.3 Statutory warranty rights in respect of defects in the Service itself remain unaffected.
13. Liability
13.1 We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act, and to the extent we have assumed a guarantee.
13.2 In the case of slight negligence we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation — an obligation whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance you may regularly rely — and in that case only for the typical, foreseeable damage.
13.3 Any further liability is excluded.
13.4 The limitations in this section apply equally to our legal representatives, employees and agents.
13.5 Without prejudice to the above: we are not liable for decisions you take on the basis of results, nor for the consequences of a source being incomplete, outdated or unavailable, this being inherent in the nature of the Service as described in sections 5 and 6.
13.6 You are responsible for backing up any data you submit or export.
14. Term and termination
14.1 Your account runs for an indefinite period; a paid plan runs for the period purchased (section 7.4).
14.2 You can close your account at any time in text form (email is sufficient) to [email protected].
14.3 On termination your access ends. We delete or anonymise your account data in accordance with the retention rules in the Privacy Policy, subject to statutory retention obligations.
15. Changes to these Terms
15.1 We may amend these Terms where necessary to reflect changes in the Service, in our processes or in the legal framework.
15.2 We will notify you of the amended Terms at least thirty days before they take effect. If you object before that date, either party may terminate with effect from the date the amendment would take effect. If you do not object and continue to use the Service, the amended Terms apply. We will draw your attention to this consequence in the notification.
16. Final provisions
16.1 These Terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
16.2 The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with this contract is Düsseldorf, Germany, provided you are a merchant, a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law.
16.3 Should any provision be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected.
16.4 Amendments and side agreements require text form. This also applies to any waiver of this form requirement.
