Baton Rouge Business Report Data Center – Terms of Use

Effective Date: June 1, 2025

Welcome to the Baton Rouge Business Report Data Center (“Data Center”), a digital subscription service provided by Melara Enterprises, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Data Center, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. Please read them carefully.

Acceptance of terms

Your access to and use of the Data Center constitutes your express agreement to comply with these Terms and all applicable laws. If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not access or use the service.

Subscription, access, and renewal

Subscriptions grant a limited, non-transferable license for personal or internal business use by the named subscriber. Sharing login credentials or redistributing content to third parties is strictly prohibited.

Automatic Renewal Notice: Subscriptions shall automatically renew unless canceled before the renewal date. By subscribing, you acknowledge and agree that your subscription may renew automatically. You will be provided clear notice of any renewal and instructions for how to cancel, both at the time of purchase and in advance of any renewal.

Permitted use and restrictions

Subscribers may:
  – View and download content for internal business analysis or personal research.
– Reference or cite data publicly with proper attribution.

 Subscribers may not:
  – Share, republish, sell, or externally distribute Data Center content.
– Use automated tools to scrape or extract large volumes of data.
– Reverse engineer, alter, or create derivative works from the content.
– Use content for unsolicited commercial communications without complying with applicable laws (e.g., CAN-SPAM, TCPA).

All use must comply with federal, state, and local laws, including but not limited to Louisiana law and U.S. privacy and marketing regulations.

Intellectual property

All content in the Data Center is the property of Melara Enterprises, LLC and/or its data providers and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Use of the content does not transfer any ownership rights.

Data export and use after termination

Any data exported during your subscription term remains subject to these Terms. Upon termination or expiration of your subscription, you must immediately cease using exported data externally and delete any copies not used for archival or regulatory compliance purposes.

Termination of access

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or applicable law. Upon termination, your license will immediately end, and you must discontinue all use of the Data Center and any retained content.

Refund policy

All sales are final. Due to the ability to export and retain data, we do not offer refunds or credits unless otherwise required by Louisiana law or in cases where we materially fail to provide the subscribed service.

Modification of terms or service

We may update these Terms periodically. Material changes will be communicated in advance via email, on the login page, or within the subscriber dashboard. Continued use after notice constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

If you do not accept the updated Terms, you must discontinue use before the changes take effect.

We also reserve the right to add, remove, or modify features of the Data Center as needed for operational efficiency. Such changes do not entitle users to a refund.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE DATA CENTER AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR DATA ACCURACY—TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LOUISIANA LAW.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LOUISIANA LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MELARA ENTERPRISES, LLC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF SUBSCRIPTION FEES YOU PAID IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM.

Nothing in this section limits our liability for intentional or gross fault as prohibited by Louisiana Civil Code Article 2004.

Governing law and venue
