Terms of use

 

Last updated: December 18, 2025

Introduction & Acceptance of the Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) explain how you may access and use the CDIN website and the content we publish.

By browsing the site, accessing pages, reading our content or using any features we provide, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should not use the site.

These Terms do not constitute legal, medical, pharmaceutical, financial or other professional advice. They are a reference document for the use of this site.

Who We Are

We are CDIN, an independent, informational and editorial website serving readers in Brazil and abroad.

Our core activity is to organize, explain and make accessible information that often appears scattered or confusing on the internet.

We seek to help readers understand categories, definitions, product types, general comparisons and practical basics relevant to our editorial coverage.

We operate with full editorial independence and have no institutional link with manufacturers, retailers or brands mentioned in our content, unless explicitly stated.

Mentions of third-party brands are informative and comparative only and do not imply sponsorship or endorsement.

Ownership & responsibility:
Legal entity: GTECK LTDA
CNPJ: 28.505.046/0001-81
Address: R ADELINO CARDANA, 293, BETHAVILLE I/CENTRO, BARUERI, SP, Brazil
Country / State / City: Brazil / São Paulo / Barueri

References to “we”, “us” or “our” mean CDIN and GTECK LTDA.

Object & Scope of These Terms

These Terms govern the use of our site, including (without limitation) access to the main CDIN website and any subdomains, browsing and reading of informational content, and the use of any features we may provide (such as contact forms or comment spaces, if available).

At this time, we do not sell products or services through the site, do not offer paid subscriptions, and do not use affiliate links.

We may, however, begin displaying ads and establishing partnerships in the future; if we do, we will act with transparency and respect for the user experience.

These Terms may coexist with other documents, such as our Privacy & Cookie Policy and, if created, specific contracts or policies for particular services.

Where there is a conflict between these Terms and a service-specific policy, the service-specific terms will prevail for that service.

Permitted Use & Prohibited Use

Permitted Use

You agree to use the site responsibly, ethically and in compliance with applicable law. Among other obligations, you must:

  • Respect these Terms and our Privacy & Cookie Policy.
  • Use the content for personal, informational and non-commercial purposes unless you have our prior written authorization otherwise.
  • Observe applicable laws, especially those related to copyright, data protection, consumer protection, and the prevention of hate speech, discrimination and violence.

Prohibited Use

You must not:

  • Publish, transmit or disseminate unlawful, offensive, defamatory, discriminatory, violent or third-party-infringing content.
  • Infringe copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property of ours or others.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, servers, databases or restricted areas, or to bypass security, probe vulnerabilities or perform reverse engineering.
  • Send spam, chain messages, unsolicited commercial offers or abusive communications via site resources.
  • Use the site for fraud, scams, deceptive practices or to introduce viruses, malware or other harmful code that may compromise the site or other users’ security.

We may, at our discretion, restrict access, remove content and take appropriate technical and legal measures in case of misuse.

Site Content & Intellectual Property

All content on CDIN—including, without limitation, text, articles, lists, guides, explanatory materials, images, graphics, illustrations, design elements, logos, visual identity, layout, code, scripts and features—is protected by intellectual property laws. Rights may be owned by us or used under license.

Trademarks, trade names and distinctive signs displayed on the site are owned by us or by our partners.

Third-party brands mentioned belong exclusively to their respective owners. Mentions serve informational and comparative purposes only and do not imply affiliation or endorsement.

What You May Do

  • Access and read our content for personal, informational and non-commercial use.
  • Share public links to our pages on social networks, messaging apps or other channels, provided the content is not altered and the source (CDIN) is clear.

What You May Not Do

  • Without our prior written authorization, copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, adapt, translate, modify or create derivative works from our content for commercial purposes.
  • Present our text (or portions of it) as your own or remove copyright, trademark or proprietary notices.
  • Use our brand, logo or visual identity in a way that suggests non-existent association, sponsorship or endorsement.

User-Generated Content (If Enabled)

If we provide interactive areas (e.g., comment fields or public message forms), you are solely responsible for the content you submit or publish.

By submitting content, you declare that you hold the necessary rights or permissions and that your content does not violate third-party rights (including image, privacy, honor, copyright and trademarks) and is not illegal, offensive, defamatory, discriminatory, violent, pornographic or inappropriate.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to store, display, moderate or remove submitted content as needed to operate the site and comply with applicable law.

We reserve the right to moderate, refuse, edit or remove user submissions that violate these Terms or the law, harm users or third parties, are irrelevant or constitute spam.

Our moderation does not imply an obligation to pre-review all content.

Paid Services, Purchases & Subscriptions

We currently do not offer products or paid services via the site. The site is 100% free for readers. We do not sell directly, offer content subscriptions or use affiliate links at this time.

If, in the future, we provide paid services, purchases, subscriptions, partnerships or advertising, we will publish the specific conditions (prices, terms, payment methods, cancellations, refunds, auto-renewal and taxes) in additional terms that will complement these Terms.

Until then, any purchase decisions regarding products or services mentioned in our content must be made by you directly with the brands’ official channels, under their terms and policies.

External Links & Third-Party Services

Our site may include links to third-party websites, apps, services or content. Such links are provided to help you locate official sources, product details, support channels or other relevant information.

We do not control, endorse or guarantee third-party content, practices, policies or availability, and we are not responsible for damages arising from their use.

We recommend that you read each third party’s Terms and Privacy Policy carefully.

We may use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity). Their data use follows each provider’s terms and our Privacy & Cookie Policy.

Responsibilities, Disclaimers & Limitations

Informational Nature

Our content is strictly informational and educational. While we cover practical topics for readers, information provided does not replace guidance from qualified professionals.

Each person has individual characteristics and circumstances that may require professional evaluation. We do not promise or guarantee results based on any product, routine, method or recommendation mentioned.

Limitations of Liability

We strive to keep information accurate and updated, but we do not guarantee absence of errors, misinterpretations, outdated items or divergences from official information that may change.

We do not guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, bug-free or always available, or that it will be compatible with all devices, operating systems or browser versions.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising from use or inability to use the site, including loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities or reputation.

You are responsible for verifying information across multiple sources (labels, official channels, qualified professionals and, when relevant, regulators). Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liabilities that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless CDIN, GTECK LTDA, their partners, officers, employees and content providers from any claim, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from misuse of the site, violation of these Terms, infringement of laws or third-party rights, and from any content you submit or publish.

Privacy, Cookies & Personal Data

Personal data processing related to your use of CDIN is governed by our Privacy & Cookie Policy. There we explain what data may be collected, how and why we use it, with whom it may be shared, your rights as a data subject and how to exercise them.

We use analytics tools to understand site usage and improve the experience. Data is handled in aggregated/statistical form. We do not sell data and do not run personalized advertising based on analytics collected via this site.

We aim to comply with applicable data protection laws, including Brazil’s LGPD (Law No. 13.709/2018), as well as equivalent regulations in other locations where we may operate.

Suspension, Discontinuation & Service Changes

We may, at any time and for technical, legal, security or business reasons, change, update, suspend or discontinue site features, remove or modify published content, and restrict access in whole or in part. Where reasonably possible, we will post meaningful changes on the site or update the “Last updated” date.

Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time to reflect service updates, legal/regulatory requirements or to improve clarity and accuracy.

When relevant changes occur, we will update the “Last updated” date and may display notices on the site.

Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Please review this document periodically.

Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, including applicable civil, consumer and data protection legislation, without prejudice to other pertinent rules.

Any dispute that cannot be amicably resolved shall be submitted to the courts of Barueri, State of São Paulo, Brazil, unless a mandatory rule grants a specific forum to the user.

Legal Notice

These Terms were prepared for a general-purpose informational website.

They do not replace tailored legal advice. Each project has specific characteristics, and laws may change or be interpreted differently.

We recommend that CDIN and GTECK LTDA’s legal representative review this document with a qualified attorney, particularly for digital law, online contracts, data protection and consumer law.
