Terms of Service

Welcome to KOSMOLAB SPACE, a global business-to-business platform operated by KosmoLab (“we“, “us“, “our“, or “the Platform“). These Terms of Service (“Terms“) govern your access to and use of the website at https://kosmolab.space and all related services, features, and content (collectively, the “Service“). Please read them carefully before using the Platform.

Last updated: 2026

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.

1. What KOSMOLAB SPACE Is — and Is Not

KOSMOLAB SPACE is a neutral discovery and lead-generation platform serving the space industry. It performs two core functions:

  • Launch Aggregator. A tool to discover, compare and enquire about rocket launch windows, rideshare slots and launch service providers worldwide. Launch schedule and provider information is aggregated from third-party sources — including The Space Devs “Launch Library 2” API — and from providers themselves.
  • Space Hardware Marketplace. A directory of listings for satellite platforms, subsystems, deployers, components and ground equipment offered by third-party manufacturers, together with a directory of space companies.

The Platform acts solely as a neutral intermediary, listing and discovery service. To remove any doubt:

  • We are not a party to any contract, sale, launch agreement, or transaction between Clients and Vendors.
  • We do not broker, negotiate, guarantee, underwrite, or take any commission, fee, or markup on any such transaction.
  • We do not process payments. No money changes hands on the Platform. All pricing, terms, contracts, and payments are agreed and handled directly between the parties off-platform.
  • We do not own, manufacture, hold, inspect, certify, launch, ship, export, or sell any hardware or launch service listed.
  • Our role is limited to facilitating discovery and making introductions between interested parties. A request for quote (“RFQ”) submitted through the Platform is an enquiry only — not an offer, order, reservation, or binding commitment.

2. Definitions

  • “Platform” / “Service” — the KOSMOLAB SPACE website, applications, tools, databases, and related services operated by KosmoLab.
  • “User” / “you” — any person or entity that accesses or uses the Service, whether as a Client, a Vendor, or a visitor.
  • “Client” — a User (such as a satellite operator, university, research institution, or payload owner) that searches, compares, and submits RFQs through the Platform.
  • “Vendor” — a User (such as a launch service provider or hardware manufacturer) that publishes Listings and receives RFQs through the Platform.
  • “Cabinet” — a registered user account giving access to Client or Vendor features.
  • “Listing” — any launch window, rideshare slot, service offering, hardware product, or company profile published on the Platform.
  • “RFQ” (Request for Quote) — an enquiry submitted by a Client containing mission parameters and contact details, routed to one or more selected Vendors.
  • “Content” — any data, text, images, specifications, files, or other material submitted to, displayed on, or generated through the Service, including Listings and RFQs.

3. Eligibility and Acceptance

The Service is intended exclusively for business and professional use (B2B). It is not directed at consumers. By accessing or using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement;
  • You are using the Service in a professional or business capacity;
  • If you use the Service on behalf of a company, organisation, or other legal entity, you have full authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and “you” refers to both you and that entity;
  • You are not barred from receiving the Service under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, and you and the entity you represent are not subject to applicable trade sanctions or export restrictions (see Section 11).

If you do not meet these requirements, you may not use the Service.

4. Accounts and Registration

Certain features require you to register a Cabinet as a Client or Vendor. When you register, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information, and keep it up to date;
  • Keep your login credentials confidential and not share account access;
  • Be solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account;
  • Notify us promptly at info@kosmolab.space of any unauthorised access or suspected security breach.

We may refuse, suspend, restrict, or terminate any account at our discretion — including where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached, where information is false or misleading, or where required by law. You are responsible for the security of the devices and networks you use to access the Service.

5. Vendor Listing Terms

If you are a Vendor, the following additional terms apply to your Listings:

  • You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, legality, and currency of every Listing you publish, including specifications, availability, capabilities, certifications, and any indicative pricing or lead times.
  • You warrant that you have the right to offer the products or services listed and to enter into resulting transactions, and that your Listings do not infringe any third party’s rights.
  • You must promptly update or remove Listings that become inaccurate, outdated, or unavailable.
  • We may review, moderate, edit, reject, reorder, or remove any Listing at our discretion, including for accuracy, quality, legality, or relevance, without liability to you.
  • A Listing on the Platform is not an endorsement, verification, or certification by us of the Vendor or its offerings.

Fees. Use of the Platform is currently free of charge for both Clients and Vendors. We may introduce paid plans, premium placements, or other paid tiers in the future. Any such fees will be disclosed in advance, and you will not be charged without your prior agreement.

6. Client and RFQ Terms

If you are a Client, the following additional terms apply when you use search, comparison, and RFQ features:

  • An RFQ is an enquiry, not an order or binding commitment. Submitting an RFQ does not reserve a launch slot, secure pricing, or create any obligation on you, on the Vendor, or on us.
  • When you submit an RFQ, the mission parameters and contact details you provide will be shared with the Vendor(s) you select so that they can respond to you directly. By submitting an RFQ, you consent to this sharing.
  • You are responsible for ensuring the information in your RFQ is accurate and that you are authorised to share it.
  • Any quote, proposal, negotiation, contract, or transaction that follows is strictly between you and the Vendor. We are not involved and accept no responsibility for the outcome.
  • You should independently verify any Vendor, Listing, price, schedule, capability, and legal/regulatory matter before entering into any agreement.

7. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use the Service lawfully and in good faith. You must not:

  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, data-mine, or use automated means to extract data or Listings from the Platform, except via interfaces we expressly authorise;
  • Send spam, unsolicited marketing, chain communications, or misuse the RFQ or contact channels;
  • Submit false, misleading, fraudulent, or impersonating information, or misrepresent your identity, authority, or affiliation;
  • Harvest or collect other Users’ contact details or data for purposes other than a legitimate, good-faith transaction enquiry;
  • Use the Service to facilitate any illegal, sanctioned, or export-controlled dealing, or any activity in breach of applicable law (see Section 11);
  • Upload malware, attempt to gain unauthorised access, disrupt, overload, probe, or test the vulnerability of the Service or its infrastructure;
  • Infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of the Platform or any third party;
  • Reverse engineer, copy, or create derivative works of the Platform except to the extent permitted by law;
  • Use the Service to compete with us by replicating or republishing our aggregated data or directory.

We may investigate and take any action we consider appropriate for suspected violations, including removing Content, suspending accounts, and reporting to authorities.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Platform IP

The Platform, including its software, design, layout, text, graphics, logos, databases, compilations, and the selection and arrangement of aggregated data, is owned by or licensed to KosmoLab and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, or commercially exploit any part of the Service without our prior written consent. “KOSMOLAB SPACE” and related marks are our trademarks.

8.2 Your Content and Licence to Us

You retain ownership of the Content you submit (such as Listings and RFQ information). By submitting Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt (for formatting), and distribute that Content as necessary to operate, promote, and provide the Service — for example, to display your Listing to Clients or route your RFQ to selected Vendors. You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this licence and that your Content does not violate any law or third-party right.

9. Third-Party Content, Data, and Links

Much of the information on the Platform — including launch schedules, slot availability, provider details, and hardware specifications — originates from third parties, including providers, manufacturers, and external data sources such as The Space Devs “Launch Library 2” API.

  • Such information may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or change without notice, and is provided for general discovery purposes only.
  • We do not independently verify, endorse, or guarantee third-party Content and accept no responsibility for it.
  • The Service may contain links to third-party websites and resources. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Accessing them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

10. Privacy and Cookies

Our handling of personal data — including account data, RFQ submissions, and analytics collected via Google Analytics 4 (through Google Site Kit) and cookies — is described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Because our audience is global, including the EU and UK, we process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws (including the GDPR and UK GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules. By using the Service, you acknowledge those policies.

11. Export Control and Sanctions Compliance

Space launch services and spaceflight hardware are highly regulated and may be subject to export control, trade, and sanctions laws — including, without limitation, the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the EU Dual-Use Regulation, and other applicable national and international regimes.

Compliance is entirely the responsibility of the Users. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Platform facilitates discovery and introductions only. We are not an exporter, importer, broker, freight forwarder, customs agent, or legal/compliance adviser, and we provide no export-control or sanctions advice.
  • You are solely responsible for determining and obtaining any licences, authorisations, classifications, end-user checks, or government approvals required for any enquiry, communication, transaction, transfer of technical data, or export or re-export that you undertake.
  • You must not use the Service in connection with any party, country, or end-use that is prohibited under applicable sanctions or export-control laws, and you confirm you and your counterparties are not on any applicable restricted-party or sanctions list.
  • You will comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws in all your activities on or arising from the Platform.

We may decline, suspend, or remove any account, Listing, or RFQ where we believe there is a risk of breach of these laws, but we assume no obligation to screen Users, Content, or transactions for compliance.

12. Disclaimers of Warranties

The Service and all Content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, to the maximum extent permitted by law. In particular, we do not warrant that:

  • Any Listing, schedule, price, specification, or other data is accurate, current, complete, or reliable;
  • The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free;
  • Any Vendor or Client is legitimate, solvent, qualified, authorised, or will perform any obligation;
  • Any introduction, RFQ, match, or enquiry will result in a transaction, a suitable match, or any particular outcome.

We disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Any reliance you place on the Service or its Content is at your own risk.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • The Platform shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, contracts, data, goodwill, or anticipated savings, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Service.
  • The Platform shall not be liable for any act, omission, dispute, default, misrepresentation, breach, loss, damage, or non-performance of, or by, any Vendor, Client, or other third party, or for any transaction, contract, launch, hardware, or service arranged between Users off-platform.
  • To the extent any liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service and these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) EUR 100 (or local equivalent). As the Service is currently free, this limitation reflects the absence of fees paid to us.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless KosmoLab and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Your use of the Service or any Content you submit;
  • Your breach of these Terms or of any applicable law, including export-control, sanctions, or data protection laws;
  • Any transaction, dispute, or dealing between you and another User;
  • Your infringement or violation of any third party’s rights.

15. Termination and Suspension

You may stop using the Service and close your Cabinet at any time. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service — in whole or in part, with or without notice — where we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, where required by law, to protect the Service or other Users, or for any other legitimate reason. On termination, the licences you grant to us with respect to Content already displayed or routed may continue as needed to operate the Service, and the provisions that by their nature should survive (including Sections 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17) will survive.

16. Changes to the Terms and the Service

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where changes are material, take reasonable steps to notify Users. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We may also add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without liability.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, the Service, or their subject matter are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the operator’s jurisdiction (to be confirmed prior to launch), without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the operator’s jurisdiction (to be confirmed prior to launch) for the resolution of any dispute, save that we may seek injunctive relief in any competent court. Where the parties agree to arbitration, disputes shall be finally resolved under the competent state courts at the operator’s registered seat (no arbitration has been designated). Nothing in this section affects any mandatory consumer or statutory rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

18. Miscellaneous

  • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force, and the invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy and any other policies referenced, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior understandings on that subject.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, agency, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us, or between Users.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
  • Notices. We may provide notices to you by email or by posting on the Platform.
  • Operator. The Service is operated by KosmoLab, to be confirmed prior to commercial launch.
