Terms of Service

1. Who We Are and Contract Parties

The Sanction List Check service (sanctionlistcheck.com) is operated by Miguel Casares Robles, an individual sole trader ("autónomo" in Spain, registration in progress, tax ID: [to be added on autónomo registration]), registered address: Horno de Haza, 34 2A, 18002 Granada, Spain.

These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement between you, the customer, and Miguel Casares Robles concerning your access to and use of the Sanction List Check website and service.

For all paid purchases, Paddle.com acts as the Merchant of Record (MoR). This means Paddle, not Miguel Casares Robles, is the seller of record on your invoice or receipt, collects and remits VAT/sales tax, and handles payment card processing and chargebacks under Paddle's own terms (paddle.com/legal). The contract for the underlying screening service is between you and Miguel Casares Robles; the contract for payment processing is between you and Paddle.

2. Description of the Service

Sanction List Check provides a tool for screening names against official sanctions and watch lists. You can upload a CSV or XLSX list of company or individual names, or type a single name for a free check. The service screens each name against the following five official lists:

• OFAC SDN (Office of Foreign Assets Control Specially Designated Nationals List)
• US Consolidated Screening List (CSL)
• The EU Consolidated list
• The UK Sanctions List
• The UN Consolidated list

Upon completion, the service returns a PDF and CSV report showing matches, possible matches, and "no match" results. Each result includes the source list and a timestamp.

Our matching method uses deterministic fuzzy-text matching algorithms (Jaro-Winkler and token-set) against official list snapshots. No Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Large Language Models (LLMs) are used to process, read, or judge your customer data at any point in the product. Uploaded data is never used to train any AI model.

3. Account and Access

Access to paid features requires an account. We use magic-link email authentication only; no passwords are required. A session cookie is used for authentication, which is HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Strict, expiring after 24 hours of inactivity. We do not use any third-party advertising or tracking cookies in the product.

Each account is tied to a single email address. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your email account and for all activities that occur under your account.

4. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability

The Sanction List Check product is a due-diligence screening AID. It is NOT a legal compliance certification and it is NOT legal advice.

The product never states that a name or counterparty is "safe," "clear," or "approved." It only reports matches, possible matches, and no-match results against the screened lists, for your own review.

Every match or possible match is for human review by you, the customer. You are solely responsible for your own compliance decisions and for any action or inaction based on the report.

Results are provided "as is," without warranty of completeness or accuracy.

A known limitation of fuzzy matching is that it can miss a true match when a name has more than one valid transliteration or romanization (e.g., from Cyrillic or Arabic script into Latin letters), because spellings can diverge beyond the matching thresholds.

Miguel Casares Robles's total liability arising from the service is capped at the total fees actually paid by you for the relevant order or service in the 12 months before the claim.

5. Pricing and Payment

All purchases are one-time, and we do not offer subscriptions in this version of the service.

• Free: One single-name check, no signup, no card required.
• EUR 19 one-time: Batch upload, up to 100 rows.
• EUR 49 one-time: Batch upload, up to 500 rows.
• EUR 99 one-time: Batch upload, up to 2,000 rows.

As stated in Section 1, Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all paid purchases. Paddle handles all payment processing, including collecting and remitting VAT/sales tax, issuing receipts, and managing chargebacks. Your payment is subject to Paddle's terms and conditions, available at paddle.com/legal.

6. Refund Policy

You are eligible for a full refund within 14 days of purchase if the report was not generated, or was not generated correctly (i.e., the service failed to deliver the paid batch screening report). Refunds can be requested via Paddle (as the merchant of record who processed the payment) or by contacting [email protected]. The free single-name check has no charge and therefore nothing to refund.

• Resell access to the Sanction List Check service.
• Attempt to circumvent row limits or other service restrictions.
• Attempt to scrape or systematically extract data from the sanctions lists via our service.
