Your participation in our market and opinion research panel is completely voluntary and you can end it at any time without giving reasons. By registering with the Marketagent market and opinion research panel, you agree to let us use your information to the extent specified in our Privacy policy. Your personal information is used in good faith and in a legal way, our Privacy policy is an integral part of our Terms and Conditions and you can review and download it here:

Privacy policy

In case of legal disputes, the data is kept until a valid ruling is made. Information needed for the purpose of participant complaints or for legal obligations is excluded therefrom. When those reasons cease to exist, the information is deleted.

The participant/subject has to

• keep his/her user data (especially the password) secret and prevent unauthorized usage in any way,
• avoid and prevent any improper usage of his/her user data,
• immediately report any suspected misuse of his user data to Marketagent.

Marketagent will not be liable for technical malfunctions and their causes are not the responsibility of Marketagent. Marketagent is not liable for damages resulting from acts of third parties and in event of natural disasters.

Marketagent is only liable for the reasonable predictable damage. Furthermore, Marketagent is never liable for consequential damages, indirect damages, not savings, lost profits, interest, losses and damages from third-party claims asserted against the participants.

The participant/respondent agrees to the recruitment of unknown third persons and to never address them without asking (so called spam), or by email or by phone or fax. This is especially true for public discussion areas on the Internet, such as newsgroups, mailing lists, etc. This improper conduct also damages Marketagent. We therefore reserve the right to exclude participants due to gross violations of the services. In the event of a breach of this commitment, the participants will be excluded from participation in Marketagent with immediate effect. The accumulated credit is eliminated. All costs and expenses incurred by Marketagent because of such an infringement shall be borne by the participants. The claiming of further damages remains unaffected.

The previously accumulated credit can still be accessed within the next 14 days (unless different arrangements by these Terms and Conditions), provided that no breach of the Terms and Conditions has occurred. Cancellations must be submitted in writing or by email, or made directly on the Marketagent site.
