Last updated: 28 May 2026.

Use of This Website

This website is operated for research, policy, education, institutional communication, and public-interest discussion related to European digital finance and infrastructure. By using the website, you agree to use it lawfully and in a way that does not interfere with its security, availability, or integrity.

Research and Publications

ESIDFI materials are provided for research, policy, and institutional education purposes. Publications, briefings, event materials, and website content do not constitute legal, investment, tax, accounting, regulatory, or financial advice.

Readers should make their own assessment and seek professional advice where appropriate. ESIDFI may update, correct, withdraw, or archive materials without notice where needed for accuracy, editorial judgment, institutional priorities, or legal reasons.

No Client or Advisory Relationship

Visiting this website, submitting an enquiry, downloading a publication, attending an event, or subscribing to updates does not create a client, fiduciary, advisory, or professional services relationship with ESIDFI. Any advisory engagement must be agreed separately in writing.

Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise, website text, ESIDFI branding, publication layouts, graphics, and other materials are owned by or licensed to ESIDFI. You may cite and link to ESIDFI materials for research, policy, media, or educational purposes with appropriate attribution.

You may not misrepresent ESIDFI materials, remove attribution, use ESIDFI branding in a way that suggests endorsement, or reproduce substantial portions of materials for commercial purposes without permission.

External Links and Third-Party Material

This website may link to external websites, institutions, publications, platforms, or event tools. Those services are controlled by third parties and may be subject to their own terms, privacy notices, and cookie policies. ESIDFI is not responsible for external content unless expressly stated.

User Submissions

If you send comments, enquiries, biographies, institutional information, research suggestions, or other materials to ESIDFI, you confirm that you have the right to provide them and that they do not infringe third party rights. ESIDFI may use submissions to respond to you, administer activities, and develop relevant research or communications.

Availability and Accuracy

ESIDFI aims to keep the website accurate and available, but does not guarantee that content will always be complete, current, uninterrupted, or error-free. Content may reflect the publication date, the available evidence at that time, and the specific scope of a research note or event.

Acceptable Use

• Do not attempt to disrupt, probe, overload, scrape abusively, or compromise the website.
• Do not submit unlawful, misleading, confidential, infringing, or malicious material.
• Do not use ESIDFI names, logos, or materials to imply endorsement without written permission.
• Do not use automated access in a way that harms site performance or circumvents controls.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, ESIDFI is not liable for losses arising from reliance on website content, temporary unavailability, external links, technical issues, or use of materials outside their intended research and policy context. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.

Privacy and Cookies

Use of this website is also governed by the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Those documents explain how ESIDFI handles personal data, preference storage, optional analytics, and privacy choices.

Changes to These Terms

ESIDFI may update these terms from time to time. The date above indicates the latest published version. Continued use of the website after an update means the updated terms apply from that point forward.
