If a person is found to have multiple accounts, Daedalus New Media Research has the right to inactivate all of that person's accounts without prior notice.

In order to guarantee the quality of the statistical analyses delivered by Daedalus New Media Research to the clients, it is periodically analyzed whether there are people who provide inappropriate answers in the received surveys, such as the use of indecent language, answering far too quickly that they do not even have time to read the questions, etc. If these behaviors are found to be in violation of the Community Guidelines, Daedalus New Media Research has the right to delete a respondent from the database without prior warning and without justifying the decision.

The surveys address topics such as product testing, TV ad testing, new product launches, and measuring customer satisfaction on a product/service. Your answers will help develop and improve the product/service in question.

Surveys shall only be sent to registered respondents in the Daedalus Online community. There are no model surveys you can fill out. Each survey received by email by our respondents is a real invitation to online market research and their responses can influence the future of the market and help manufacturers make decisions.

Your personal data does not reach our customers or third parties/companies. The replies in the questionnaires are depersonalized and subsequently statistically processed.

The survey can close after the first demographic questions if you do not match the profile we are looking for. Survey invitations are based on your demographic information filled in when you join the community and/or update them. For example, we are looking for respondents from a city of over 50,000 inhabitants, aged between 35-45 years old, to find out their opinion about the characteristics of the FORD car. You will receive an invitation to the survey if you are from a city of over 50,000 inhabitants and you fall within that age range, but if you are not a FORD driver, but a different type of car, you do not correspond to the profile because we want feedback only from the respondents who drive FORD and know its characteristics in detail. In this situation, you will receive 20 points for the time spent completing the qualification questions. This is just an example of why you receive surveys, but you may not qualify to complete them fully.

Most questionnaires do not allow completion from outside the territory where you were registered.

Surveys can only be completed from the country where you are registered. Each country has different products and services or there are the same products, but they differ in quality, behavior, and price, even when they have an international circulation, so it is important to answer surveys only when you are in the territory of the country where you registered.

Most of the time, surveys of reasonable duration can only be accessed once. For a large part of surveys with a long duration, there is this facility, to interrupt and re-access, but it is always mentioned in the invitation letter.

Also, do not use the keyboard or other buttons such as (back) unless explicitly indicated in the survey because you risk interrupting it and not being able to resume it, thus losing the opportunity to receive points for completing it partially or totally.

Changing/withdrawing the already updated score can be done when after the closure of the study, thorough checks are made manually to see the quality of the data received, for example: contradictory answers, lack of answers to open questions, inconsistency in completing, etc.

We're sorry if you're experiencing issues like this that are preventing you from completing the survey, we're always working to improve your completion processes.

Please take a screenshot of the error displayed and email it to us with some details: when it was displayed (at the beginning, during, or at the end of the survey), if it was displayed after an atypical step, any details help us to send feedback to the technical team to take the necessary steps to resolve the issues that have arisen. We mention that not always errors can be solved during the collection, but this can be an example to follow in order not to be displayed in the following surveys. A large part of the surveys received is created by the clients for whom the collection is made, therefore, Daedalus Online cannot intervene at all in taking responsibility and solving the errors that have occurred.

We send a higher number of invitations than necessary responses because not everyone who receives an invitation responds to or does not qualify for each survey sent, and the deadline for completion is set according to the requirements of the end customer. If the response rate on a survey is higher than calculated when sending out invitations, based on previous surveys, then the survey closes earlier than the deadline written in the invitation letter. Unfortunately, this is not something we can control because it is up to the respondents and that is why we cannot write the exact time (time) of the survey closing as we have been asked in the past. There are also studies that require a fixed number of questionnaires per day, and when that number is performed/reached, the survey is paused until the date written in the box that will be displayed after clicking the link, which can be opened again at that date.

The reasons for invalidation are either the duration of completion substantially less than the average duration of completion of that survey which is established by pre-testing so that questionnaires are not accepted which are completed in an insufficient time to read at least everything that is written in the questionnaire. Another reason for invalidation is the contradictory or missing answers/inconsistency of answers to open-ended questions. All these are quality invalidations and all invalidated questionnaires must be restored.

If you received the minimum points (20), it means that you either did not meet the characteristics requested by the customer (you do not correspond to the profile you are looking for) or the maximum limit of completed questionnaires corresponding to your profile has already been reached.

Points for certain surveys may update in your account after the survey closes and the final data is collected. In some cases, the delay may be several days and less rarely on the order of two weeks.

If a survey does not correspond to your principles and values or you consider that it addresses a social situation in which you feel constrained or uncomfortable to respond, you have the full right to refuse to complete it until the end because participation is voluntary. If you consider it useful, you can send us an email with your feedback, and if this is a relevant observation for the respondents' research and approach, we will send it to the client. Please note that any survey that is interrupted or not completed to the end will result in points being lost, they will not be able to be updated.

Except in rare and unlikely situations of having allergies to components of the tested products that you are unaware of, the tested products cannot cause you adverse reactions. In situations where the products contain components with allergen potential (e.g. nuts, dairy), the respondents are warned about these components and if they have such allergies they are not selected in the test sample. All products have a quality certificate and are within the warranty period. If the respondent knows that he has allergies to certain components and avoids stating this for various reasons and if he is triggered by side effects or severe allergies, he or she is liable for this.

We love it every time you accept our invitation to complete surveys, but you don't have to respond to all the invitations you receive. You can fill in the surveys when you have the time, taking part is voluntary. You decide when and if you want to answer the polls.

It is important, however, to keep in mind that a long period of inactivity can lead to the closure of your account. If in the last 6 months you have not responded to any survey received by email, your account may be closed until you are able to resume work. Also, completing as many surveys as possible can automatically enroll you in the GOLD Club, and there are extra benefits (prizes, sweepstakes, etc. – check the rules section to see details about the GOLD CLUB). We encourage you to complete as many surveys as possible in order to enjoy the benefits of the GOLD Club. Find out more about this club by clicking here.

In general, the products to be tested are consumer products. It can be food, beverages, cleaning or personal hygiene products, etc. The products under test have a quality certificate and are always under warranty and shelf life. In general, the tested products are normally found in stores, and by their very nature do not pose a health risk/side effects. In some cases, products developed in the laboratories of major manufacturing companies are tested. In this case, the products shall be accompanied by a guarantee certificate. The expiration date is visible on all the products under test, even if they do not have a label.

The agreement to participate in the product testing is in principle, it does NOT create firm obligations for respondents. If you do not wish to participate, simply send an email to survey_ro@daedalusonline.eu and you will not receive requests to test products in the future.

Yes, there is usually a preselection of the persons who are to test the product, depending on the socio-demographic characteristics that the manufacturer is pursuing. We also exclude people who have allergies to any of the components of the tested products based on a pre-selection questionnaire.

All perishable products sent for testing are within the shelf life, which is clearly stated on the product. The shelf life shall cover at least the period during which this product is to be tested.

All transportation costs of the products to be tested are borne by Daedalus Online or the manufacturing company, depending on the situation.

The products to be tested shall remain permanently with the respondents from the time they were delivered. There is no obligation to return the products, even if you have changed your mind and no longer want to test the product.

Respondents are asked if they want to test the products before they are sent to them. If you have given your consent to test a product, and subsequently for various reasons do not trust to test the product, you can let us know. In this situation, you will not have to send back the products and there is no financial penalty. Such repeated behavior may, however, result in it no longer being considered for the following product tests.

You can only redeem points for cash once you've reached the 1000-point threshold.

You can, however, wait to earn more points and request payment when you see fit.
