Website www.gbris.com is operated by company G-Infosystems OÜ (Registration number 16833096).
Contract and services
GBRIS is offering access to corporate documents worldwide, such as company financial reports and incorporation documents. In order for the website user to use GBRIS services, user must have a legitimate interest for the respective company and document type. By making the order and confirming terms and conditions, GBRIS assumes that the legitimate interest obligation has been fulfilled by the customer. GBRIS should be considered as a processor of the information and documents, not the owner of information.
In order to request a document for a specific legal entity, the user needs to use the company search module by writing company name and choosing the correct company from a drop-down list. After that, customer will be re-directed to the company page where customer can navigate all available documents for the respective company. In case a client wants to request a specific document, document should be added in the cart. GBRIS allows to add maximum of 100 documents in one cart. When cart is confirmed and client wants to proceed with the order, client needs to agree with GBRIS terms and conditions and privacy policy.
By clicking “I agree with Terms and Conditions”, the user agrees to enter into a legally binding contract with GBRIS to receive the information retrieval service governed by these terms of service. The contract becomes valid after a payment has been received by GBRIS.
