Benchmark data licence

This licence is between OffplanIndex (“we”, “us”) and the organisation that pays the subscription (“you”). It covers the Licensed Tables: the derived benchmark tables delivered as CSV and JSON bundles, and the same content served through the HTTPS endpoint where one is enabled for you.

The Licensed Tables are our own aggregates and fact tables, computed from asking prices and project facts published by developers and observed on public portals. They are not a copy, an extract or a mirror of any third party database, and they contain no listing records, descriptions, images or portal identifiers. Our reasoning on that point is set out at /data-policy and forms part of this licence by reference.

The bundle you receive is dated. The current build was computed on 2 September 2026 from sources read to 30 July 2026 and a corpus merged on 18 August 2026, and carries 4,011 records across 230 communities and 676 developers.

For as long as your subscription is paid and current, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, revocable licence to use the Licensed Tables inside your organisation and inside the products and services your organisation offers, subject to clauses 3 and 4.

“Your organisation” means the legal entity that pays, and any entity it majority owns. It does not mean a franchise network, a group of independent agencies sharing a brand, a client of yours, or a partner. If more than one legal entity needs the tables, each needs a licence, or write to us and we will price a group.

The licence is a licence to use. No ownership, copyright or database right transfers to you.

• Load the tables into your own systems: a CRM, a data warehouse, a valuation model, a pricing tool, an internal dashboard.
• Compute on them, join them to your own data, and derive your own figures from them, including figures you sell.
• Display individual figures to your own users inside your own product, for example a benchmark badge on a listing or a community median on a valuation page, with the attribution required by clause 5.
• Quote figures in client work, marketing, research notes, presentations and press comment, with attribution.
• Keep copies for backup, audit and archival purposes.
• Let contractors and professional advisers use them on your behalf, provided you remain responsible for what they do with them.

• Redistribute or resell the tables as data. No republishing a Licensed Table, in whole or in substantial part, as a file, a feed, an API, a download, a dataset listing or a data product, whether free or paid. This is the clause that matters most to us: the tables are the product.
• No substantial-extract workaround. Displaying a table through your interface row by row until a user can reconstruct it is redistribution. So is exporting it to a customer. The test is whether someone outside your organisation ends up holding the table, not the mechanism by which they got it.
• No training a model on the tables for redistribution. Using them to train or fine tune a model you use internally is fine. Publishing, licensing or serving a model whose value is largely the Licensed Tables is not, because that is redistribution wearing a hat.
• No sublicensing and no transfer without our written agreement, including on a sale of your business. Ask, and we will usually say yes.
• No presenting the figures as your own proprietary index or as transaction data. They are asking price aggregates and must not be described as achieved prices, valuations or DLD recorded sales.
• No removing or altering the provenance fields in a bundle, including the build dates and record counts, in anything you pass on.
• No use to build a competing benchmark data product for sale to third parties.

Where a figure derived from the Licensed Tables is shown to anyone outside your organisation, credit it to OffplanIndex and state the build it came from. A single line is enough, for example: “Benchmark: OffplanIndex, build 2 September 2026”. In a document, once per document. In a product, once per screen or in an about panel reachable from it.

The build date is part of the attribution and not decoration. The figures move between builds, and a number quoted without its build cannot be checked against anything.

Attribution is not required for figures used purely internally, and it does not imply that we endorse, review or have any involvement in your product.

499 USD per month per organisation, charged in advance through Stripe on the same day each month. The term is one month, renewing automatically until cancelled. Prices are in US dollars; your bank may add a conversion charge that is nothing to do with us.

We will not change the price of a live licence without telling you at least 30 days before it applies, so you can cancel first.

Each build is delivered as a dated bundle from a receipt page that serves the newest build available to you. Builds are dated, not scheduled: the corpus is assembled and rebuilt by a person, and we do not promise a fixed refresh interval, an uptime figure or a delivery window, because we would have no way to keep any of them.

What we do commit to instead: every bundle carries the date its sources were read, the date the corpus was merged and the date the tables were computed, so you can always tell what you are holding. If a calendar month passes and no newly dated bundle has appeared, tell us and we credit that month.

You may cancel at any time from the billing portal. Access to new bundles ends at the end of the month you have paid for. We do not pro-rate a part-used month.

We may terminate immediately if you breach clause 4, if payment fails and is not cured within 14 days, or if we stop offering the product, in which case we refund the unused part of the current month.

After termination you may keep bundles already delivered, keep using figures already embedded in work you had published or delivered before termination, and keep archival copies for audit.

After termination you may not use the Licensed Tables in new work, and you may not continue to serve figures from them in a live product. Clauses 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11 survive termination.

The Licensed Tables contain no personal data: they are project level facts and statistical aggregates about buildings, not about people. We are therefore not a processor of your personal data under this licence, and no data processing agreement is needed for the tables themselves.

The billing relationship is separate and is handled by Stripe. What we hold about you as a customer is described in our privacy notice.

The Licensed Tables are provided as they are. We build them carefully, we publish the method, and we do not warrant that every figure is accurate, complete, current or fit for any particular purpose. We do not warrant uninterrupted availability.

Specifically, and stated rather than buried: these are asking prices published by developers and portals, not achieved transaction prices. Handover dates are what a developer states, and in Dubai those move. Nothing in the tables is a valuation, investment advice, a forecast or a recommendation, and nothing in them is regulated advice. Any decision you take using them is yours.

If you find a figure you believe is wrong, tell us. We will re-run the query and either correct it in the next build or show you the records behind it.

To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with this licence, in aggregate and however caused, is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for lost profit, lost business, lost data or indirect or consequential loss.

Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

This licence is governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, and the courts of the United Arab Emirates have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from it. This matches our terms of use, which continue to apply to everything else.

If we change these terms we will tell current licensees by email at least 30 days before the change applies to them. Continuing to pay after that is acceptance; cancelling before it is not a breach. The version in force for you is the one published on the day your current month started, and the last update date is at the top of this page.
