Users must be at least 18 years old or otherwise legally permitted to form contracts in their jurisdiction to enter into agreements with DataLabLex.

Services and content must be used for lawful purposes only. Use that facilitates illegal activity, violates intellectual property rights, or contravenes applicable regulations is prohibited.

DataLabLex provides guidance applicable to Malaysia (MY) and may reference other jurisdictions. Availability of particular services may be limited by local laws or professional restrictions in certain countries.

Accounts and Access

Some features of DataLabLex require registration. Account holders are responsible for maintaining accurate account information and for activity that occurs under their credentials.

You must provide truthful and up-to-date information when creating an account or engaging services. Incorrect or outdated information may affect the quality of guidance and our ability to communicate with you.

Protect account login details and use secure passwords. Notify DataLabLex promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. We recommend enabling any available multi-factor authentication for account protection.

Accounts, subscriptions, and service credits are personal to the registered entity and are not transferable to third parties without prior written consent from DataLabLex.

If you believe your account has been compromised, notify DataLabLex immediately via the contact channels on DataLabLex.info. We will take reasonable steps to assist with account recovery and to secure the service.

We may suspend or limit access to accounts for suspected breaches of these Terms, unlawful activity, or security concerns. Suspension will be communicated where practicable and may continue until remedial actions are completed.

Pricing for paid services is set out in the relevant proposal or agreement. Quoted fees are valid for the period stated in the proposal and are subject to any taxes or charges required by law.
