Overview
Bureau Berix (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is Lebanon's first data intelligence company, headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon. This Disclaimer governs the use of all products, datasets, research publications, analytical outputs, and advisory or consultancy services provided by Bureau Berix.
By accessing our website, purchasing a product, downloading a dataset, receiving a research report, or engaging our consultancy services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms of this Disclaimer in full.
This Disclaimer should be read alongside our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which together form the complete legal framework governing your relationship with Bureau Berix.
Data Products & Datasets
Bureau Berix applies rigorous collection, validation, and quality-assurance processes to all datasets. Nonetheless, the following limitations apply:
Accuracy and Completeness
While we strive for the highest standards of data accuracy, no dataset is guaranteed to be error-free, exhaustive, or fully representative of the underlying market or population. Data points derived from surveys, field research, secondary sources, or statistical modelling carry inherent uncertainty margins documented in accompanying methodology notes.
Timeliness and Currency
Snapshot datasets reflect conditions at the stated reference date only. Market conditions, regulatory environments, and economic indicators in Lebanon and the MENA region can change rapidly. Bureau Berix is not responsible for decisions made on the basis of data that has become outdated following its delivery date.
Source Dependency
Certain datasets incorporate figures published by government agencies, central banks, international organisations, or third-party data providers. Where official statistics are subsequently revised or retracted, Bureau Berix cannot be held liable for discrepancies between our delivered data and later-published revisions.
Methodological Variation
Differences between Bureau Berix data and figures published by other providers may arise from differing collection methodologies, reference periods, geographic definitions, or sectoral classifications. Methodology documentation is provided with each dataset and must be reviewed before use in critical decisions.
No Investment or Financial Advice
Data products sold by Bureau Berix are informational tools only. Nothing in any dataset or accompanying documentation constitutes investment advice, financial advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument. Users are solely responsible for their own investment and financial decisions.
Research Reports & Analytical Outputs
Bureau Berix produces research reports, market analyses, sector briefs, and editorial commentary that reflect the professional judgement of our analysts at the time of publication.
Opinions and Forward-Looking Statements
Research outputs may contain opinions, forecasts, projections, and forward-looking statements. These reflect our analysts' assessments based on information available at the time of writing and are subject to change without notice. Actual outcomes may differ materially from any projections or forecasts.
Not a Substitute for Professional Advice
Research outputs are intended to inform and support decision-making processes. They do not constitute legal, financial, tax, regulatory, or professional advice of any kind. Clients are strongly advised to seek independent professional counsel before acting on any information or analysis in our research.
Third-Party Information
Where research outputs reference or incorporate information from third-party sources, Bureau Berix makes reasonable efforts to verify the reliability of such sources but does not warrant their accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose.
Intellectual Property
All research outputs are the intellectual property of Bureau Berix. Reproduction, redistribution, or republication — in whole or in part — without prior written consent is prohibited. Permitted citation must include full attribution to Bureau Berix and the publication date.
Advisory & Consultancy Services
Bureau Berix provides advisory and consultancy services to institutional clients, businesses, and organisations. The following terms govern all consultancy engagements:
Scope of Engagement
Advisory services are delivered strictly within the scope defined in the applicable engagement letter or statement of work. Bureau Berix accepts no responsibility for outcomes arising from actions taken outside the defined scope or from the client's failure to implement recommendations as specified.
Reliance on Client Information
The quality and accuracy of advisory outputs are contingent on the completeness and accuracy of information provided by the client. Bureau Berix is not liable for errors or adverse outcomes resulting from incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information supplied by the client.
No Guarantee of Outcomes
Advisory recommendations represent our professional judgement based on available information. Bureau Berix does not guarantee any specific business, financial, regulatory, or operational outcome. Market conditions and external factors beyond our control may affect results.
Confidentiality
Bureau Berix treats all client information shared during consultancy engagements as strictly confidential. We will not disclose client-specific information to third parties without prior written consent, except where required by applicable law.
Independence
Bureau Berix operates as an independent advisory firm. Our recommendations are based solely on our professional assessment and are not influenced by commercial relationships with third parties. Where any potential conflict of interest exists, we will disclose it prior to or at the commencement of the engagement.
Website & Platform Content
The Bureau Berix website and data marketplace platform are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no warranties regarding:
- The uninterrupted or error-free operation of the website or platform
- The accuracy, completeness, or currency of any content published on the website
- The fitness of any content or product for a particular purpose
- The security of data transmitted to or from the platform, beyond the measures described in our Privacy Policy

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or resources. These links are provided for informational purposes only. Bureau Berix does not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any third-party site. Accessing external links is entirely at your own risk.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Bureau Berix expressly disclaims all liability for:
Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount paid by that client or user to Bureau Berix in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Regional & Geopolitical Context
Bureau Berix operates primarily in Lebanon and the MENA region — environments characterised by elevated geopolitical, macroeconomic, and regulatory uncertainty. Users and clients expressly acknowledge that:
Volatile Operating Environments
Data, research, and advisory outputs relating to Lebanon and the MENA region are subject to rapid and unpredictable change due to political developments, currency fluctuations, regulatory shifts, conflict, or civil unrest. Bureau Berix cannot be held responsible for the impact of such events on the accuracy or relevance of delivered products.
Regulatory and Legal Variation
Legal and regulatory frameworks across MENA jurisdictions vary significantly and may change without notice. Nothing in our research or advisory outputs constitutes legal advice, and clients must obtain independent legal counsel regarding compliance obligations in any specific jurisdiction.
Sanctions and Export Controls
Clients are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of Bureau Berix products and services complies with all applicable sanctions regimes, export control laws, and trade restrictions. Bureau Berix does not accept liability for any breach of such regulations by clients.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bureau Berix and its officers, directors, employees, analysts, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:
- Your use of Bureau Berix products, data, research, or services in a manner inconsistent with these terms or applicable law
- Any misrepresentation of Bureau Berix data or research in your own publications, products, or communications
- Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights, in connection with your use of our products
- Any claim by a third party arising from decisions made by you or your organisation on the basis of Bureau Berix outputs
Governing Law & Jurisdiction
This Disclaimer and any disputes arising from it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Lebanon, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Disclaimer shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Beirut, Lebanon, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties.
For clients located in the European Union, nothing in this Disclaimer limits any rights you may have under applicable EU consumer protection or data protection law.

Bureau Berix reserves the right to amend, update, or replace this Disclaimer at any time. Changes will be published on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of our products, services, or website following the publication of any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised Disclaimer.
