§1 General Provisions
These General Terms and Conditions (Terms) apply to all visitors and users of the ScreenerHub platform (hereinafter "Platform"), regardless of whether the user accesses the services as a guest, free user, or Pro member.
For third-party internet services to which ScreenerHub merely links or which are mediated by ScreenerHub, the terms of use of the respective providers apply.
§1.1 Subject of ScreenerHub
ScreenerHub is a web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for analyzing and comparing publicly traded securities based on financial metrics. The platform provides the following core functions:
- Stock Browser: Publicly accessible stock search and filtering based on financial metrics
- Screener Management: Management of individual filter strategies for stock selection
- Watchlist Management: Portfolio management with performance tracking and metrics
- Monitoring Lab: Historical tracking and comparison of watchlist holdings against screener criteria (Premium feature)
The platform supports multiple currencies (USD, EUR) and offers AI-powered functions for generating screening criteria. However, ScreenerHub provides no investment advice and does not replace professional investment advisory services.
§1.2 Risk Warning for Capital Market Investments
It is expressly pointed out that investments in securities (stocks, ETFs, etc.) involve significant risks and may result in losses up to and including the total loss of invested capital.
The information, data, metrics, and analyses provided on ScreenerHub serve informational purposes only and do not constitute an offer to buy or sell securities. Every investment decision is the sole responsibility of the user.
§1.3 Content and Availability
§1.3.1 Modification of Content
The functions, content, data sources, and features provided on ScreenerHub may be changed, expanded, restricted, or removed without prior notice. The Provider reserves the right to continuously develop the platform and adapt it to technical and market-related requirements.
§1.3.2 Discontinuation of Service
Should the operation of ScreenerHub be permanently discontinued, payments made for already paid but not yet utilized periods will be refunded on a pro-rata basis. The refund will be calculated pro rata temporis for the remaining period of the Premium membership. No further claims can be asserted beyond this.
§1.3.3 System Requirements and Availability
Certain system requirements on the user's side are necessary to use Screener Hub. The platform is designed as a web-based application and requires:
- A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge in current versions)
- A stable internet connection
- Activated JavaScript
- Cookies for authentication and session management
Before subscribing to the Premium membership, users should verify that they can sufficiently utilize the offered functionality of the platform according to their needs. These system requirements may change at any time due to technical adjustments and extensions.
Through the use of standardized web technologies (Next.js, modern browser APIs), maximum compatibility with various end devices and operating systems is pursued. However, the success of these efforts cannot be guaranteed due to technical diversity.
§1.3.4 Maintenance and Downtime
The Provider strives for high availability of the platform but cannot guarantee 100% uptime. In particular, the following situations may lead to temporary restrictions:
- Scheduled maintenance work (preferably outside European business hours)
- Technical disruptions of hosting infrastructure (Vercel, Supabase)
- Failures or delays with data providers (Financial Modeling Prep)
- Force majeure, DDoS attacks, or other external influences
The Provider will endeavor to announce scheduled maintenance work in advance and minimize downtime.

§4.2 No Warranty for Accuracy
Due to the high complexity and volume of data provided (>7,000 stocks, 40+ metrics, historical time series), the Provider cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy of all data.
However, the Provider strives to minimize errors. The following measures are taken for this purpose:
- Automated plausibility checks: Validation of data ranges and consistency

- Error reporting system: Users can report errors through support
- Regular data review: Random manual checks
- Versioning: Traceability of data changes through timestamps

§5 Liability
§5.1 Provider Liability
§5.1.1 Unlimited Liability
The Provider is liable in accordance with statutory provisions without limitation for damages to users that:
- Were caused by the Provider or its vicarious agents intentionally or with gross negligence
- Result from the absence of a guaranteed quality of service
- Are based on a culpable breach of essential contractual obligations (see §5.1.2)
- Result from a culpable injury to health, body, or life
- Fall under the Product Liability Act
§5.1.2 Limited Liability for Simple Negligence
In case of merely simple negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation, the Provider's liability is limited to such damages as can typically and foreseeably be expected to arise in the context of providing the agreed services.
Essential contractual obligations are those contractual obligations whose fulfillment enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance the user regularly relies. These include in particular:
- Provision of the platform in a basically usable state
- Processing of payments and management of subscriptions
- Maintaining confidentiality of user data according to privacy policy
- Ensuring authentication and authorization
§5.1.3 Exclusion of Further Liability
Otherwise, the liability of the Provider and its vicarious agents is excluded, regardless of the legal grounds. This applies in particular to:
- Loss of profit and indirect damages
- Data loss, insofar as this could have been avoided by regular data backups by the user
- Damages due to force majeure, network failures, or disruptions at third-party providers
§5.2 Liability Limitations for Special Cases
§5.2.1 Liability for Erroneous Data
ScreenerHub provides its own data as well as data from third-party providers (Financial Modeling Prep). This data serves informational purposes only.
Users cannot rely on the timeliness, accuracy, or completeness of the data. In particular, errors, delays, or incompleteness may occur with automated data imports from third-party sources.
The Provider assumes no warranty or liability for direct or indirect damages arising from the use of information or data, in particular not for:
- Investment decisions based on erroneous or delayed data
- Financial losses through trading decisions
- Erroneous calculation of metrics or metrics
- Currency conversion errors in multi-currency data
§5.2.2 Liability for Unavailability
The Provider strives for constant accessibility of the platform and its complete functionality. However, no warranty can be assumed for this.
In particular, unavailability or functional failures may occur due to:
- Scheduled maintenance work (will be announced if possible)
- Technical problems with hosting providers (Vercel, Supabase)
- Failures or delays with data providers (FMP)
- DDoS attacks or other security incidents
- Infrastructure overload during unexpectedly high usage
The Provider excludes any liability for technical or other disruptions, insofar as these are not based on intent or gross negligence.
§5.2.3 Liability for External Links
The platform contains links to external websites of third parties (e.g., to company investor relations pages, financial platforms, data providers). The Provider has no influence on the content of these external sites.
The Provider assumes no responsibility for content, functionality, accuracy, and legality of linked websites. The respective provider or operator is always responsible for the content of linked pages.
The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, permanent content control of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete indications of a legal violation.
§5.2.4 Liability Under Telemedia Act
As a service provider, we are responsible according to § 7 para. 1 TMG for our own content on these pages according to general laws.
However, according to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, as a service provider, we are not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.
Obligations to remove or block the use of information according to general laws remain unaffected. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the time of knowledge of a specific legal violation. Upon becoming aware of corresponding legal violations, we will remove this content immediately.
§5.3 Indemnification by User
The user indemnifies the Provider from any claims of third parties asserted against the Provider due to the user's violations of these Terms or applicable law. This includes the costs of legal defense (attorney and court fees).
§6 AI-Powered Features
§6.1 Use of ChatGPT/OpenAI
ScreenerHub uses artificial intelligence (AI) from OpenAI (ChatGPT) for the following functions:
- AI Assistant for Screening Criteria: Generation of suggestions for financial metrics based on user requests in natural language
- Screener Review: Analysis of existing filter sets and suggestions for complementary appropriate criteria
When you interact with AI-powered elements on the platform, your inputs (including metadata such as language, time) are transmitted to OpenAI servers and processed there to generate an appropriate response.
§6.2 Data Processing by OpenAI
OpenAI reserves the right to further process inputs made in ChatGPT for training its own algorithm. The Provider cannot assess exactly how the data is processed.
Important Notes:
- Do not enter confidential or personal information into the AI assistant
- AI-generated suggestions are not investment advice and should be critically reviewed
- The Provider is not liable for erroneous or unsuitable AI suggestions
§6.3 Legal Basis and Revocation
The use of ChatGPT is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The Provider has a legitimate interest in efficiently providing modern technical solutions to improve user experience.
If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
You can refuse the use of AI functions at any time by simply not using these functions. The basic functionality of the platform remains fully intact without using AI.
