Legal Disclaimer
Last updated: February 25, 2026
Please read this Legal Disclaimer carefully before using SignalScore. By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Disclaimer in its entirety.
Critical Notice
SignalScore is not a credit reporting agency. Reports are AI-generated indicative analyses that are not legally binding and must not be relied upon as the sole basis for any business, financial, or legal decision. See Sections 2 and 3 below for full details.
1. General Disclaimer
SignalScore is an information service that provides AI-generated indicative analyses of Swiss companies based on publicly available data.
- Not regulated — SignalScore is not registered with or supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), the Swiss National Bank (SNB), or any other financial supervisory authority.
- Not a credit bureau — SignalScore is not affiliated with Creditreform, Dun & Bradstreet, Bisnode, CRIF, Intrum, or any licensed credit reporting or debt collection agency.
- No proprietary database — SignalScore does not maintain a proprietary credit database, does not receive payment experience data from creditors, and does not participate in any credit bureau data-sharing network.
- As-is basis — The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.
2. Nature of Credit Assessments
Reports Are Not Legally Binding
All assessments, scores, and reports produced by SignalScore are AI-generated indicative analyses. They are not, and must not be treated as, legally binding credit ratings, certified financial assessments, or formal credit reports.
- Scores (A–F / 0–100) are algorithmic indicators derived from automated processing of publicly available data. They represent a probabilistic estimate, not a definitive evaluation of creditworthiness.
- Reports do not have the legal standing or regulatory recognition of a formal credit report issued by a licensed agency.
- Reports must not be relied upon as the sole basis for any business, financial, investment, legal, or operational decision.
Reports are not designed or authorized for:
Any use of Reports for the purposes described above is strictly at the User's own risk. Predivo GmbH expressly disclaims all liability arising from such use.
3. AI Technology Limitations
AI Can Produce Incorrect Results
Reports are generated by Claude, a large language model (LLM) by Anthropic. AI systems can and do produce information that is inaccurate, misleading, or entirely fabricated ("hallucinations"). Users must understand these limitations before relying on any Report.
Hallucinations & fabrication
The AI may produce factually incorrect information that appears plausible and authoritative. This is an inherent characteristic of current LLM technology.
Misinterpretation & misweighting
The AI may misinterpret data significance, incorrectly weight signals, draw erroneous correlations, or fail to recognize context a human expert would identify.
Non-deterministic narrative
The AI-generated written analysis may vary in wording across separate runs. The dimension scores themselves are produced by a deterministic formula, so identical input data yields identical scores.
Limited data access
The AI has no access to non-public data: bank statements, tax filings, internal financials, management accounts, cash flow projections, or confidential corporate information.
No predictive reliability
No AI model can reliably predict future business performance, solvency, or default probability. Forward-looking statements are speculative indicators, not forecasts.
No accuracy guarantee
Predivo GmbH does not guarantee that AI analysis is free from errors, biases (training data, selection, confirmation), omissions, or misstatements.
Model changes
The underlying AI model may be updated or replaced at any time, potentially altering results for previously assessed companies without prior notice.
No human review
Reports are generated automatically and are not reviewed, verified, or validated by a human analyst before delivery.
4. Data Source Limitations
Public Data Sources Only
SignalScore aggregates data exclusively from publicly available registers and websites. Each source carries inherent limitations that may affect report accuracy and completeness.
General caveats:
- Data availability depends on third-party service uptime and accuracy. Unavailability may result in incomplete assessments.
- Predivo GmbH performs no independent verification beyond what the original source provides.
- Data is fetched live at the time of each check. Reports are point-in-time snapshots and may become outdated immediately after generation.
5. No Professional Advice
Reports do not constitute any form of professional advice. Specifically, Reports are not:
Users should engage qualified professionals before making significant decisions. For formal credit assessments, engage a licensed credit reporting agency.
No advisory relationship or fiduciary duty is created between Predivo GmbH and any User by virtue of using the Service.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted under Swiss law (Art. 97–100 OR):
Predivo GmbH and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising from:

Mandatory Swiss Law Exception
Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits liability for intentional misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) under Art. 100(1) OR. The foregoing limitations apply to the maximum extent otherwise permitted by mandatory law.
Aggregate liability cap: Total aggregate liability shall not exceed the fees paid by the User in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
7. Rights of Assessed Companies
