Last updated: 8 August 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to your use of the Idem Est website, research, data, reports and related services.
The website is operated by Idem Est. Productions Pty Limited (ABN 34 105 085 630), trading as Idem Est Research & Advisory (“Idem Est”, “we”, “us” or “our”), based in Sydney, Australia.
By accessing or using this website, purchasing or accessing an Idem Est product, or engaging Idem Est to provide services, you agree to these Terms.
Where a separate proposal, order confirmation, statement of work, licence agreement or other written agreement has been agreed with you, that agreement will apply in addition to these Terms. If there is an inconsistency, the terms of the specific written agreement will prevail to the extent of that inconsistency.
1. About our research
Idem Est provides independent market research, data, analysis and advisory services, primarily relating to telecommunications, digital infrastructure, connectivity, data centres, artificial intelligence infrastructure and related markets.
Our research may include:
- market data and databases;
- forecasts and estimates;
- infrastructure and geospatial data;
- market models;
- research reports and presentations;
- spreadsheets and data files;
- industry commentary;
- benchmarking and comparative analysis; and
- bespoke research and advisory services.
Research may be developed using publicly available information, proprietary research, industry sources, interviews, third-party information, modelling, estimates and assumptions.
2. Research is provided for information purposes
Idem Est research and website content are provided for general informational and commercial research purposes.
They do not constitute financial, investment, legal, engineering, tax, accounting or other regulated professional advice.
Nothing published by Idem Est constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, develop, finance or invest in any asset, company, security, infrastructure project or other opportunity.
You remain responsible for your own commercial decisions and should undertake such independent verification, professional advice and due diligence as you consider appropriate before making decisions based on our research.
3. Accuracy, estimates and forecasts
Idem Est takes reasonable care in preparing its research and seeks to use sources and methodologies that we consider appropriate.
However, market research inherently involves uncertainty.
Information may be incomplete, estimated, modelled, confidential, unavailable, subsequently revised or subject to differing interpretations.
Accordingly, to the extent permitted by law, we do not warrant or guarantee that:
- information is complete, accurate or error-free;
- estimates will correspond with subsequently reported information;
- forecasts, projections or scenarios will occur;
- third-party or publicly available information is accurate;
- all infrastructure assets, projects or market developments have been identified;
- information will remain current after its publication date; or
- research will be suitable for a particular commercial purpose.
Forecasts, estimates, scenarios and projections represent our assessment based on information and assumptions available at the relevant time. Actual outcomes may differ materially.
Historical data may also be revised as additional information becomes available.
4. Publication dates and updates
Research reflects information available at or around its stated publication or data date.
Markets and infrastructure projects can change rapidly. Announced projects may be delayed, altered, cancelled or expanded, and information supplied by companies, governments and other sources may subsequently change.
Unless a product or service expressly includes ongoing updates, Idem Est is not obliged to update a report, dataset, forecast or other research after delivery.
Where a product is sold as a subscription, tracker or recurring service, the applicable product description, proposal or order confirmation will specify the expected update frequency.
5. Website information
We seek to ensure that information published on this website is appropriate when published, but website content may become outdated or contain errors.
We may update, correct, remove or replace website content from time to time.
Nothing on the website should be relied upon as a substitute for the applicable paid research product, dataset or current advice from Idem Est.
Access to the website may occasionally be interrupted, restricted or unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
6. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, all intellectual property rights in this website and Idem Est research products belong to Idem Est or its licensors.
This includes, where applicable:
- reports;
- databases;
- datasets;
- spreadsheets;
- models;
- methodologies;
- forecasts;
- charts;
- maps;
- graphics;
- presentations;
- written analysis;
- website content;
- database structure and compilation; and
- underlying research and analytical frameworks.
Purchase or access to an Idem Est product does not transfer ownership of the intellectual property in that product.
You receive only the rights of use expressly granted under the applicable licence.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
7. Permitted use and licensing
Paid research products, datasets and other deliverables are licensed rather than sold outright.
Your use of an Idem Est research product is subject to the licence applicable to that product and any additional terms contained in the relevant proposal, quotation, invoice or order confirmation.
Unless expressly permitted under your licence, you must not:
- reproduce or redistribute a research product in whole or substantial part;
- provide files or database access to third parties;
- publish substantial portions of a dataset or report;
- resell, sublicense or commercially distribute Idem Est content;
- make a research product publicly available;
- remove copyright, attribution or proprietary notices;
- reverse engineer proprietary models or methodologies; or
- use Idem Est research to create a competing commercial research database or product.
Limited quotations, charts or extracts may be used where expressly permitted by the applicable licence and appropriately attributed.
Further conditions relating to use and redistribution are set out in our Licensing terms.
8. Website content
You may view and download publicly accessible pages of this website for your own legitimate business or personal use.
You may link to publicly available pages on idemest.com provided the link is lawful and does not falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement or association with Idem Est.
You must not systematically scrape, harvest, reproduce or compile content from this website for the purpose of creating or maintaining a competing database, research service, commercial information product or artificial intelligence training dataset without our prior written permission.
9. Purchases and orders
Products available through the Idem Est website may include downloadable reports, datasets, spreadsheets, presentations, subscriptions and related research products.
By placing an order, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorised to make the purchase.
An order is accepted when Idem Est confirms the order or makes the purchased product available to you.
Prices are shown in the currency displayed on the website or quotation. Taxes, including GST where applicable, will be applied as indicated during the transaction or on the relevant invoice.
Where there is an obvious pricing, description or technical error, we may contact you to correct the order before delivery.
10. Digital delivery
Research products are generally supplied electronically.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have appropriate software and systems to open and use files supplied in common formats such as PDF, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint and CSV.
Delivery is considered to have occurred when the product is made available for download, sent electronically to the nominated recipient, or otherwise made accessible to the client.
11. Refunds
Because Idem Est research products generally consist of digital information that can be accessed or downloaded immediately, refunds are not normally provided for change of mind after delivery or access has been provided.
This does not exclude or limit any refund, replacement or other remedy that you are entitled to under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
If you believe that you have received an incorrect, defective or materially incomplete product, please contact us so that we can review the issue and, where appropriate, correct, replace or otherwise remedy it.
12. Bespoke research and advisory services
Bespoke research, consulting and advisory engagements will normally be governed by a proposal, quotation, statement of work, engagement letter or other agreed scope.
Unless otherwise agreed, deliverables are prepared for the commissioning client’s use in connection with the stated purpose of the engagement.
Changes to scope, timing, deliverables or additional work may require agreement on additional fees and timing.
13. Third-party information
Our research may refer to or incorporate information obtained from governments, regulators, companies, industry participants, public databases, websites and other third-party sources.
References to third-party organisations, products or sources do not imply endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation unless expressly stated.
Idem Est is not responsible for the continued availability, accuracy or completeness of third-party information or third-party websites.
14. Geospatial and infrastructure data
Where Idem Est provides geographic, infrastructure, facility, network, power, land, property or other geospatial information, locations and attributes may be approximate or derived from multiple sources.
Such information is intended for market research and strategic analysis.
It should not be relied upon for surveying, engineering, property boundaries, network construction, safety, utility location, planning approval or other purposes requiring certified or authoritative location information.
Users should obtain appropriate authoritative information and professional advice before undertaking physical works, property transactions or infrastructure investment.
15. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law.
Subject to those rights and to the maximum extent permitted by law, Idem Est will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the website, research products or services, including loss of profits, revenue, opportunity, anticipated savings, business, goodwill or data.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Idem Est’s aggregate liability arising from a particular paid product or service will not exceed the amount paid to Idem Est for the product or service giving rise to the claim.
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
16. Your responsibility for decisions
You are responsible for determining whether an Idem Est product is suitable for your intended purpose.
You acknowledge that commercial, investment, infrastructure and strategic decisions involve factors beyond those addressed in market research and may require additional technical, financial, legal, regulatory or professional assessment.
Idem Est is not responsible for a decision made solely or partly in reliance on our research except to the extent that liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
17. Unauthorised use
If you use Idem Est intellectual property or research outside the permissions granted to you, we may request that you stop the unauthorised use, remove or return material, or obtain an appropriate licence.
We reserve our legal rights in relation to infringement, unauthorised distribution, misuse or misappropriation of our intellectual property.
18. Privacy
Personal information collected through our website or business activities is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
19. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to our website, products, business practices or applicable law.
Changes will apply from the date the revised Terms are published on this website.
Changes will not retrospectively alter the agreed terms of an existing paid engagement or order where doing so would adversely affect rights already agreed, unless required by law or agreed with the client.
20. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as modified or removed only to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue to apply.
21. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia and applicable Commonwealth laws of Australia.
You and Idem Est submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and courts entitled to hear appeals from them.
