Power BI Report Access – Terms & Conditions

1.        Purpose and Scope

This Power BI report is provided by Marlyn Vulindlela (“Marlyn”) for informational and decision-support purposes. It presents operational data and aggregated benchmarking insights derived from multiple participating organisations (“Organisation”).

2.        Access and Use

Access to the report is granted via a secure Power BI shared link and is restricted to authorised users only. Access may be modified, suspended, or revoked at Marlyn’s discretion.

3.        Commercial Access

Access is provided:

  • Free of charge for a limited trial period (typically 2–3 months), subject to approval by the Marlyn Commercial Manager; or
  • As part of an active or prospective commercial relationship, including customers with:
    • an existing supply agreement; or
    • a structured evaluation, trial, or transition plan involving Marlyn products (including activated carbon).

Marlyn reserves the right to withdraw access where no ongoing or intended commercial relationship exists.

4.        Data Use and Benchmarking

Plant test data may be used in aggregated, de-identified benchmarking outputs, including averages, medians, percentiles, trends, charts, and peer group ranges by plant type and grade.

Under no circumstances will plant-specific data be shared with other organisations in an identifiable form. Any sharing of identifiable plant-level data will require prior written agreement between the Organisation and Marlyn.

Marlyn may withhold, combine, or suppress benchmarking outputs where necessary to reduce the risk of direct or indirect identification of any participant, plant, site, or organisation. The Organisation may not attempt to identify or reidentify any participant from the benchmarking outputs.

The Organisation may opt out of its data being included in benchmarking outputs. Any such opt-out request must be submitted in writing to Marlyn and will apply to future report updates and will not affect historical data already included in aggregated datasets or derived outputs.

5.        Intellectual property

All rights in the report, including its structure, methodology, calculations, benchmarking logic, and visuals, remain vested in Marlyn. Access to the report does not transfer any ownership rights.

6.        Benchmarking Disclaimer

Benchmark outputs are compiled from multiple participants and are intended to provide directional insight only. The Organisation acknowledges that individual operating conditions differ and agrees not to rely on benchmarking output as the sole basis for operational or commercial decisions. The Organisation acknowledges that the outputs are indicative only, do not constitute technical advice, engineering recommendation, or guarantee of performance, and the Organisation remains responsible for operational decisions

7.        Confidentiality and Use Restrictions

The report and its contents are confidential. The Organisation may not:

  • share, publish, or distribute the report externally, including through the use of screenshots, data modelling, or manual reconstruction.
  • use the report for competitive or commercial benchmarking against other suppliers.
  • attempt to identify or infer the identity or data of other participants.

8.        Data Export

Export to Excel, CSV, or PDF is disabled, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Any approved exports remain subject to these Terms and Conditions and must be used for internal purposes only.

9.        Data Accuracy and Liability

The report is provided “as is” for general informational purposes only. Marlyn does not warrant that the report in accurate, complete, current, or fit for any particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Marlyn will not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or reliance-based loss arising from use of the report. Marlyn retains sole discretion over benchmarking methodology and may modify it without notice where reasonably necessary to maintain data integrity or analytical relevance.

10.    Data Integrity and Adjustments

  • exclude anomalous, incomplete, or invalid data.
  • adjust benchmarking methodologies or classifications.
  • update report content, structure, and calculation logic as required.

11.    Security and Access Control
