Last updated: May 15, 2025

DATE ("we," "us," or "our") provides date.edu.br and its subdomains (including websites accessed through mobile devices as well as downloadable mobile applications) and application program interfaces ("APIs") (collectively, the "Websites") in support of our mission to democratize access to higher education through data analytics. By accessing the Websites, users agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions, which we may revise at any time. Users are encouraged to visit this page from time to time to review current terms and conditions.

Copyright and Proprietary Rights

The text, images, trademarks, data, audio files, video files and clips, software, documentation or other information contained in these files, and other content on the Websites (collectively, the "Materials") are proprietary to DATE or its licensors unless identified by an Open Access (OA) icon. Materials identified as OA are either those that DATE believes to be in the public domain, or those to which DATE waives any copyright it might have. Copyright and other proprietary rights may be held by individuals or entities other than, or in addition to, DATE.

Trademarks

Many of the trademarks, service marks, and logos (collectively, the "Trademarks") displayed on the Websites, including DATE, DATE LOGO, and related designs, are registered and/or unregistered marks of DATE. The Trademarks of third parties may also be displayed on the Websites. Nothing contained in the Websites should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademarks displayed on the Websites without the express written permission of DATE or any third party that may own the Trademarks displayed on the Websites. Without limiting the foregoing, the Trademarks may not be used in a URL. Any unauthorized use of the Trademarks or any other Materials, except as authorized in these Terms and Conditions, is strictly prohibited.

Authorized Uses

Materials Identified as Open Access

By waiving any rights to Materials identified as Open Access, DATE makes those Materials available for any purpose, including commercial and noncommercial use, free of charge and without requiring permission from DATE. Open Access works are made available under a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license.

Materials DATE Believes to be Under Copyright or Other Restrictions

Materials DATE believes to be under copyright or other restrictions are available for limited noncommercial, educational, and personal use only, or for fair use as defined in copyright laws. Users may download these files for their own use, subject to any additional terms or restrictions which may be applicable to the individual file or program. Users must, however, cite the author and source of the Materials as they would material from any work, and the citations should include the URL "date.edu.br," but not in any way that implies endorsement of the user or the user's use of the Materials.

By downloading, printing, or otherwise using Materials, whether accessed directly from the Websites or via other sites or mechanisms, users agree that they will limit their use of such files to non-commercial, educational, personal or for fair use, and will not violate DATE's or any other party's proprietary rights. Users may not remove any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices, including without limitation attribution information, credits, and copyright notices that have been placed on or near the Materials by DATE. Downloading, printing, copying, distributing or otherwise using Materials for commercial purposes, including commercial publication or personal gain, is expressly prohibited.

All rights not expressly granted herein by DATE are specifically and completely reserved, unless the Material is identified by an Open Access icon.

DATE does not warrant that use of any Materials displayed on the Websites will not infringe the rights of third parties not owned by or affiliated with DATE.

DATE requires users to obtain all necessary permissions, such as a copyrighted work by an artist or a copyrighted story or a news article written by another person, before posting or distributing any content on the Websites.

Access and accounts of repeat infringers will, in appropriate circumstances, be terminated.
