Terms of use

Operator and scope

The Service is operated by Provenance Data Research LLC, a limited liability company formed in Wyoming, United States. These terms govern the public website, any paid facility-search entitlement, and any separately purchased versioned CSV release (together, the Service).

By clicking the checkout acceptance, an authorised purchaser indicates agreement that the then-displayed version of these Terms, the Data License, the applicable order summary and Refund Policy will govern the order if it completes. The paid contract and licence begin only after payment is confirmed and the corresponding entitlement is activated. A signed enterprise agreement prevails only where it expressly conflicts with these terms. Public-site access remains subject to applicable law and technical access controls, but mere browsing is not the acceptance event relied upon for a paid licence.

Business use and authorised users

Self-service purchase is offered only to a legal entity for trade, business, craft, or professional purposes, through one named, verified authorised user who is at least 18 and authorised to bind that entity. It is not offered for personal or consumer use. Each account, magic link, download link, and entitlement is personal and non-transferable. Team access, affiliates, contractors, client delivery, API access, or other expanded use requires a written enterprise order. The Service must not be used where the purchaser is prohibited by applicable sanctions, export controls, or law.

Limited permission

Paid web access. Subject to payment and continuing compliance, the operator grants the Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right for one authorised user to use licensed data for the Customer’s internal professional research, analysis, and business planning only while the paid entitlement remains active.

Complete CSV. A CSV order grants the same limited internal-use right for the identified immutable release on a perpetual basis. It does not include later releases. The right is not revocable at will; it may end only after an uncured material breach of the licence or a confirmed full refund of that release, subject to mandatory law.

Restricted uses

You must not sell, resell, disclose, publish, distribute, transfer, sublicense, rent, lend, provide as a service, or otherwise make licensed data available to a third party. You must not create, maintain, update, validate, enrich, or enable a database, directory, API, dataset, index, product, or service that substitutes for, competes with, or is materially derived from the licensed data.

For the public and paid-web interfaces, you must not scrape, crawl, spider, harvest, systematically copy, manually extract at scale, bulk download, cache, archive, reverse engineer, bypass access controls, evade rate limits, or use automated or semi-automated means to obtain data beyond the expressly supplied functionality. A Customer that purchases a complete CSV may keep the controlled working copies and routine internal backups reasonably necessary for its permitted internal use; that permission does not allow sharing, redistribution, database reconstruction for third parties, or restoring a copy after the affected licence terminates except as the Data License expressly permits. You must not share credentials, magic links, download links, exported files, or access with colleagues, affiliates, contractors, clients, or any other person unless an enterprise order expressly permits it.

Unless a signed enterprise licence expressly permits it, you must not use or make available the Service or licensed data for training, pre-training, fine-tuning, evaluating, benchmarking, grounding, embedding, retrieval-augmented generation, or improving any machine-learning, generative-AI, other model, or automated decision system.

Permitted outputs and sources

You may prepare internal analyses. You may externally publish only high-level, non-record-level conclusions that neither disclose nor enable reconstruction of the licensed data, do not substitute for the Service, and comply with applicable source rights. Published findings must be attributed to the platform by name and must carry no independent commercial value as a data product in their own right. Licensed data must not be used to determine any individual’s credit, insurance, or employment eligibility. Source links do not grant rights in the linked website, document, trademark, or expression, and do not imply endorsement by its owner.

Access limits

Paid web access is bounded at 100 distinct facility records per authorised user per UTC day and 600 distinct facility records per rolling 30 days. These limits are enforced by the Service, are not a bulk-export allowance, and exist so that a subscription is not used in place of a licensed complete-release purchase. Access patterns consistent with systematic extraction may be alerted on, rate-limited, or suspended pending review. A higher allowance for a legitimate research need is available through a reviewed enterprise order.

Purchases, renewal, and enforcement

Before purchase, checkout identifies the product, price, currency, tax treatment, subscription renewal or one-time status, cancellation route, release ID where applicable, and licence. Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current published price until cancelled. Receipts, renewal notifications, and payment-failure notices are sent by the applicable merchant of record identified at checkout and on the receipt; any price change is notified by us in advance of the renewal it affects. Paddle’s buyer terms govern transaction processing, payment, tax, invoicing, and provider-administered refunds; these Terms and the Data License govern product access and use, with mandatory law prevailing. Cancellation can be requested at any time from the account page and takes effect at the end of the paid period. A confirmed refund, chargeback, expiry, or material breach may end access and prevent new download issuance; downloaded copies cannot be technically recalled. The operator may investigate suspected misuse, suspend access, and seek remedies available under applicable law.

Accounts and security

The Customer must provide accurate account and purchasing-entity information, keep access credentials confidential, restrict each entitlement to its authorised user, and promptly report suspected compromise to support@provenancedatahub.com. The Customer is responsible for activity performed through its account except to the extent caused by the operator’s breach of duty. The operator may require re-verification, rate-limit access, or temporarily suspend an account where reasonably necessary to investigate security, payment, sanctions, or systematic-extraction risk.

Suspension, breach, and cure

The operator may suspend affected access immediately where reasonably necessary to contain credential compromise, deliberate resale or redistribution, access-control circumvention, unlawful use, sanctions exposure, or another urgent security risk. For any other remediable material breach, the operator will give written notice describing the breach and at least ten (10) days to cure it before terminating the affected licence. A shorter cure period may be used only when delay would materially increase harm or applicable law requires faster action. Termination does not limit accrued rights or mandatory remedies.

Ownership and feedback

The operator and its licensors retain their rights in the Service, software, branding, documentation, and the platform’s protected selection, arrangement, normalisation, and versioning. The licence grants use rights only; it does not sell intellectual property or ownership of the database or third-party source material. If the Customer voluntarily provides feedback, the operator may use it without restriction or payment, but receives no rights in the Customer’s confidential information or separately owned materials.

Service and term changes

The operator may correct data, modify features, or discontinue a prospective service, but will not silently replace an immutable CSV release already delivered. Material changes to these Terms apply prospectively, take effect no earlier than thirty (30) days after notice by email to the account address, and never retroactively reduce the perpetual internal-use right already purchased for a delivered CSV release. If a change is materially adverse to an active subscription, the Customer may cancel before the change takes effect and receive a pro-rata refund of the prepaid, unused remainder of the current period; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Non-material changes — clarifications, new features, corrections of typographical errors — may take effect on posting.

Data limitations

The Service is assembled from public sources and may be incomplete, delayed, contradictory, or later corrected. Missing fields are not zero. Facility power is not annual electricity consumption, and the commercial product does not provide calculated electricity or emissions results. The Service is not investment, engineering, legal, regulatory, or operational advice.

Warranties and disclaimers

The operator warrants only that it is authorised to grant the rights it owns in the platform’s software and original selection, arrangement, normalisation, and versioning, subject to the separately identified rights and licences of third parties, and that each delivered CSV release will match its published SHA-256 checksum. The operator does not grant ownership of third-party source material or warrant that a Customer may independently reuse a linked source beyond the rights available under that source’s own terms and applicable law. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service and licensed data are provided “as is” and “as available”, and the operator disclaims all other warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty of completeness, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability. The dataset compiles public sources that may themselves be incomplete or wrong; the data-limitations section and the published methods describe this in detail. Nothing in this section limits a warranty or remedy that applicable law does not allow to be disclaimed.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or loss of goodwill, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility.

To the same extent, each party’s total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service and these Terms is capped at the amounts the Customer paid to the seller of record for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the first event giving rise to liability; for a one-time CSV order, the cap for claims relating to that order is the amount paid for it.

The exclusions and the cap do not apply to: the Customer’s payment obligations; the Customer’s breach of the licence restrictions or infringement of the operator’s intellectual-property rights; either party’s fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct; the indemnity obligations below; or any liability that applicable law does not permit to be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Indemnities

By the Customer. The Customer will defend and indemnify the operator against third-party claims, and the resulting damages, penalties, and reasonable legal costs, arising from the Customer’s use of the Service in breach of these Terms or the Data License, or in violation of applicable law.

By the operator. The operator will defend the Customer against a third-party claim that the platform’s own selection, arrangement, normalisation, or versioning — as delivered and used within the licence — infringes that party’s intellectual-property rights, and will pay the resulting adverse judgment or approved settlement. This obligation does not cover third-party source material identified in the third-party notices, modifications by the Customer, combination with materials the operator did not supply, or use in breach of the licence. As alternatives, the operator may modify or replace the affected material or terminate the affected licence and refund the price paid for it (pro-rated over the preceding twelve months for a subscription). This section states the Customer’s exclusive remedy for third-party infringement claims. Each indemnity requires prompt notice, control of the defence by the indemnifying party, and reasonable cooperation.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Where the Customer is a consumer under mandatory law of their habitual residence, that law’s non-waivable protections prevail to that extent.

Before filing any claim, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by written negotiation for thirty (30) days from written notice of the dispute. Thereafter, the state and federal courts sitting in Wyoming have exclusive jurisdiction, and each party submits to their jurisdiction and venue — except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief against misuse of licensed data or intellectual property in any court of competent jurisdiction, and mandatory consumer forums remain available where the law requires. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party waives trial by jury, and claims may be brought only in the parties’ individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding.

Except for claims relating to payment, licence breach, or intellectual property, and except where a longer period is mandatory, a claim under these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the claiming party knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to it.

General terms

Assignment. The Customer may not assign these Terms or any licence without the operator’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld; an assignment to the Customer’s successor in a merger or sale of substantially all assets requires only written notice, provided the successor is not a sanctioned party or a direct data-product competitor. The operator may assign to an affiliate or to a successor of the business. Subcontracting. The operator may use service providers (hosting, payment, email) and remains responsible for its obligations. Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, excluding payment obligations. Waiver and severability. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver; if a provision is held unenforceable, it is enforced to the maximum permitted extent and the remainder stands. Survival. Provisions that by their nature survive — accrued payment obligations, licence restrictions, perpetual CSV rights, confidentiality of credentials, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnities, disputes, and general terms — survive termination. Third-party rights. These Terms create no rights in any third party. Export and sanctions. Each party will comply with applicable export-control and sanctions laws; the Customer warrants it is not a sanctioned or restricted party and will not provide access to one. Entire agreement and precedence. These Terms, the Data License, the order summary, and any signed enterprise agreement are the entire agreement for the Service and supersede prior discussions; in conflict, a signed enterprise order prevails over the order summary, which prevails over the Data License, which prevails over these Terms, in each case only for the conflicting term. The English text controls over any translation.
