Terms of Use — Daystrom Data

Last updated: 2026-07-02

These Terms are a good-faith, plain-language template, not legal advice, and are being reviewed by qualified counsel before Daystrom begins taking payments for the data products. Where the law gives you mandatory rights as a consumer, nothing here limits them.

"Daystrom Data" means the family of public-database products operated by Daystrom OÜ, including but not limited to Apex DB (vehicle specifications), RxAtlas (US drug-product data), TrialBase (clinical-trial registry), Strata (construction embodied-carbon / EPD data), and RecallRadar (consumer-product safety recalls), together with their websites, downloadable snapshots, and REST and MCP APIs. These Terms govern your use of any of them. In these Terms, "the dataset" means the specific Daystrom dataset you access or purchase.

1. The data

Daystrom Data publishes datasets compiled from public sources, with per-field provenance tracing each value back to the record it came from. Access is offered as downloadable snapshots and as a REST + MCP API. These terms govern your use of the datasets, the websites, and the APIs.

2. No warranty — data provided "as is"

The dataset is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranty of any kind. Daystrom makes no guarantee as to the accuracy, correctness, completeness, currency, reliability, or fitness of any value for any particular purpose. Accuracy and completeness are best-effort: every value carries a provenance trail to its source so you can verify it, but the provenance is a tool for your own verification, not a guarantee of the value.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, all warranties — express, implied, or statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement — are disclaimed. You are responsible for independently verifying any value before relying on it, and you use the dataset at your own risk. It must not be treated as professional, legal, medical, financial, safety, or regulatory advice, and must not be used as the sole basis for any decision where an error could cause harm or loss.

Daystrom Data products are independent projects. They are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the source authorities whose public data they compile (for example, national vehicle, drug, clinical-trial, environmental, or product-safety authorities). Source names and marks belong to their respective owners and are used only to attribute provenance.

3. Acceptable use

API tokens are issued per customer and must not be shared outside your organisation. Do not circumvent rate limits, attempt to scrape around access controls, or use the service in a way that degrades it for others. Redistribution of the data is governed by the per-source licences recorded in the dataset and on each product's sources page; you are responsible for honouring the attribution and redistribution terms of each source. Violation is grounds for token revocation without refund.

4. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Daystrom OÜ is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the dataset or service — including any decision made on the basis of a value that turns out to be inaccurate or incomplete. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited in aggregate to the amount you paid for the service in the twelve months preceding the claim.

5. Changes

The datasets are updated over time; sources, coverage, and field availability may change between versions. These terms may be updated as the service evolves; continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

6. Operator

Daystrom Data is operated by Daystrom OÜ, a private limited company (osaühing), registered in the Estonian Commercial Register. These are its statutory company details (the imprint required under the EU e-Commerce Directive and the Estonian Information Society Services Act):

Company	Daystrom OÜ
Registry code	17537299
VAT	EE102999776
Registered address	Tornimäe tn 5, Kesklinna linnaosa, Tallinn 10145, Harju maakond, Estonia
Contact	data@daystromworks.com

7. Governing law & contact

These terms are governed by the laws of Estonia. Questions about these terms or the service: data@daystromworks.com.

8. Payment & billing

8.1 Prices and currency. All prices for Daystrom Data are quoted and charged in United States dollars (USD), unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing. The price for each product — a one-time data snapshot, a snapshot together with a REST and MCP API subscription, or an enterprise arrangement — is the price shown at the point of purchase (or, for enterprise and pay-per-call usage, the price set out in your order form, quote, or the published per-call rate). Prices may change over time, but a change does not affect an order already placed or the price of a current subscription term until its renewal.

8.2 Taxes and VAT. Prices are exclusive of taxes unless stated otherwise. Value-added tax (VAT), goods-and-services tax, sales tax, withholding tax, or other duties may be added at checkout or on your invoice where we are required to charge them, calculated by reference to your location and status (for example, whether you are a business or a consumer, and the country you are in). Where you are a business in the EU outside Estonia and provide a valid VAT identification number, VAT may be reverse-charged to you and shown at 0%; you are then responsible for accounting for VAT in your own jurisdiction. You are responsible for providing accurate tax information (including a correct VAT number and place of supply) and for any tax that is your liability under applicable law. If a tax authority determines that tax should have been charged on a transaction, you agree to pay that amount.

8.3 Payment methods and processors. We accept payment by card and other methods through Stripe, and by supported crypto-asset rails (including Coinbase x402 and the MPP machine-payments protocol). Payments are processed by these third-party providers under their own terms; we do not store full card numbers or crypto private keys. By paying, you authorise the relevant processor to charge your selected payment method for the amounts due, including any applicable taxes. You represent that you are authorised to use the payment method you provide. Crypto-asset payments are settled on-chain and are generally irreversible; you are responsible for paying to the correct address and network, for any network or gas fees, and for any loss arising from sending an incorrect amount, asset, or chain. We are not responsible for fluctuations in the value of any crypto-asset.

8.4 Subscription term, renewal, and cancellation. A snapshot-plus-API subscription runs for the term stated at purchase (typically twelve (12) months) from the start of access. Current self-serve plans (Snapshot and Snapshot + API) are sold as fixed-term, non-renewing: at the end of the paid term access expires and no further charge is made unless you place a new order. Auto-renewal applies only where the checkout or order form for your specific plan expressly states that the subscription renews automatically; in that case it renews for successive periods of the same length at the then-current price unless either party cancels before the end of the current term. You may cancel renewal at any time through your account or by contacting data@daystromworks.com; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term, and you retain access until then. Cancelling does not, by itself, entitle you to a refund of fees already paid for the current term, except where a refund is required by law (see §8.7) or expressly granted by us.

8.5 What a subscription includes. An active API subscription entitles you to query the REST and MCP API within the rate limits and scope of your plan, and to receive snapshot updates published during your term. We may evolve, add, deprecate, or remove fields, endpoints, sources, formats, and tools over time (see §5); we will use reasonable efforts to avoid breaking changes within a term and to give reasonable notice of material deprecations. A one-time snapshot purchase entitles you to download the specific versioned snapshot you bought (delivered as a time-limited presigned download link); it does not include updates, API access, or future versions.

8.6 Invoices and records. An invoice or receipt is made available for each purchase, showing the seller (Daystrom OÜ), the applicable tax treatment, and the amount charged. You are responsible for keeping your billing contact and tax details current. Fees are payable in advance and are non-cancellable for the current term except as set out in these terms or required by law. For enterprise customers invoiced on terms, undisputed amounts are due within the period stated on the invoice, and overdue amounts may accrue interest at the rate permitted by applicable law and may lead to suspension under §12.

8.7 Consumer right of withdrawal (digital content). If you are a consumer in the European Union or another jurisdiction granting an equivalent right, you normally have fourteen (14) days to withdraw from a distance purchase of digital content without giving a reason. However, our snapshots and digital data are supplied as digital content that is not on a tangible medium and is made available for immediate download and use. By purchasing and choosing to access, download, or begin using the digital content (including by generating an API token or retrieving a snapshot) before the 14-day period ends, you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal once performance has begun, to the extent permitted by the EU Consumer Rights Directive (Directive 2011/83/EU). Where the right of withdrawal applies and has not been lost, you may exercise it by an unambiguous statement to data@daystromworks.com before downloading or using the content. This section applies only to consumers; it does not apply to business (B2B) customers, who agree that the statutory consumer withdrawal right does not apply to them.

8.8 No other refunds. Except for the consumer right of withdrawal in §8.7, refunds required by mandatory law, or a refund we expressly grant in writing, all sales are final and fees are non-refundable, including where you stop using the service, cancel renewal, or have your access terminated or suspended for breach (see §§3, 11, 12).

8.9 Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting us to resolve the issue, we may suspend or terminate your access pending resolution. Initiating a chargeback for a charge you in fact authorised is a breach of these terms.

9. License grant

9.1 Grant. Subject to your compliance with these terms and your payment of all applicable fees, Daystrom OÜ grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, worldwide licence, for the term of your purchase, to access and use the dataset, snapshots, website, and API for your internal business or development purposes, including to build, operate, and offer your own products, applications, analyses, and services that incorporate or are derived from the data — subject to the restrictions in §§9.3–9.6 and to the per-source licences in §9.3.

9.2 Reservation of rights. The compilation, structure, normalisation, cross-linking, provenance metadata, schema, and presentation of the dataset, together with the software, website, API, and Daystrom Data names and marks, are owned by Daystrom OÜ or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property and database rights (including the EU sui generis database right). No rights are granted except those expressly set out here. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of the dataset or the service to you. We grant no licence to our trademarks except to factually identify the source of the data.

9.3 Redistribution is governed by per-source licences. Individual records and values in the dataset are compiled from third-party sources, each of which carries its own licence and attribution terms, recorded in the dataset and on the sources page. Your right to redistribute, republish, or make the data publicly available — as opposed to using it internally or in a derived product — is governed by those per-source licences, not by this grant. Our export and serving pipeline applies an export gate that only emits values our records mark as redistributable and non-superseded; that gate is an engineering control for our benefit and convenience, not a warranty that any particular onward use you make is licensed, and it does not relieve you of the duty to honour each source's attribution and redistribution terms. You are responsible for determining whether your intended onward use is permitted by the applicable source licence and for complying with it.

9.4 Attribution. Where a source licence (or applicable law) requires attribution, you must preserve and reproduce the required attribution, provenance, and notices when you redistribute or publish the data or material derived from it. Where you publish materially derived analyses, a reasonable credit to Daystrom Data as the compilation source is appreciated and may be required by your plan; do not state or imply that Daystrom Data, Daystrom OÜ, or any source authority endorses you or your product (see §2).

9.5 No resale of raw access. You must not resell, sublicense, rent, lease, share, or otherwise provide your raw API access, API tokens, account credentials, or bulk snapshots to any third party, and you must not operate the API or snapshots as a substitute or competing data feed, proxy, mirror, or pass-through that lets third parties query or download our dataset in substantially raw form. You may expose data within your own value-added product to your end users, provided your product is not merely a repackaging or re-hosting of the dataset or API and you remain responsible for your end users' compliance with these terms and the applicable source licences. Enterprise redistribution or reseller arrangements require a separate written agreement.

9.6 Restrictions. You must not (a) remove, obscure, or alter provenance, source attribution, copyright, or proprietary notices; (b) use the data to re-identify individuals, to build or enrich profiles about individuals, for direct marketing to individuals, or for any other purpose incompatible with the basis on which any personal data in the dataset was made available, or in breach of applicable data-protection law; (c) use the data to train, fine-tune, or develop a machine-learning model in a way that is prohibited by an applicable source licence; (d) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law; or (e) use the service to develop a product or service that competes with Daystrom Data by reconstituting the dataset.

9.7 Survival of downstream use. Snapshots you lawfully downloaded and data you lawfully incorporated into a derived product during your term may continue to be used after your term ends in accordance with the licence in effect when you obtained them and the applicable source licences, except where a source licence or these terms require otherwise. Your right to access the API and to receive new snapshots or updates ends when your term ends or your licence is terminated.

10. Acceptable use (expanded)

This section expands on §3 (Acceptable use); both apply together. In addition to §3, you agree that you will not, and will not permit anyone using your account, tokens, or credentials to:

10.1 Exceed or circumvent limits. Exceed the rate limits, query volume, concurrency, or scope of your plan; circumvent, disable, or interfere with rate limiting, quotas, authentication, access controls, or usage metering; or use multiple accounts, tokens, IP addresses, or automated rotation to evade limits or to obtain data beyond your entitlement.

10.2 Scrape or bulk-extract beyond your entitlement. Scrape, crawl, harvest, or systematically extract data from the website or API beyond what your plan permits, or use the website's public pages as a substitute for a paid API or snapshot. Bulk or systematic access is available through the snapshot and API products; do not attempt to reconstruct a snapshot by scraping.

10.3 Harm the service or others. Use the service in any way that degrades, overloads, disrupts, or impairs it or the experience of other users; introduce malware or harmful code; probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the service or breach or circumvent its security, except under a security-research process we have authorised in writing; or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any account, system, or data.

10.4 Misuse credentials. Share, sell, publish, or expose API tokens or account credentials outside your organisation (see §9.5); fail to keep them confidential; or fail to notify us promptly at data@daystromworks.com on discovering any unauthorised use. You are responsible for all activity under your account and tokens.

10.5 Use the service unlawfully. Use the service or the data in violation of any applicable law or regulation, including data-protection, intellectual-property, anti-spam, consumer-protection, export-control, and sanctions laws; in breach of any applicable per-source licence (see §9.3); to infringe the rights of others; or for any fraudulent, deceptive, harassing, or harmful purpose. You must not use any personal data in the dataset in any way that is unlawful or incompatible with applicable data-protection law, including to contact, profile, track, or market to the individuals concerned.

10.6 Misrepresent provenance or quality. Present the data as authoritative, certified, complete, or endorsed by a source authority (see §2), or strip or falsify provenance so as to misrepresent where a value came from.

We may set, publish, and adjust technical limits and a fair-use policy, and may monitor usage to enforce these terms, detect abuse, secure the service, and meter billing (see our Privacy Policy for how request and usage logs, including IP addresses, are handled). A breach of this section or §3 is grounds for suspension or termination under §§11–12, with or without notice depending on severity, and without refund.

11. Export control & sanctions

11.1 Compliance. The service and the data are subject to export-control, economic-sanctions, and trade laws, including those of the European Union, the United Nations, Estonia, the United States (including regulations administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)), and other applicable jurisdictions. You must comply with all such laws in your use of the service.

11.2 Your representations. By purchasing or using the service, you represent and warrant, for yourself and on behalf of any organisation you act for, that: (a) you are not, and are not owned or controlled by, and are not acting on behalf of, any person or entity that is the target of, or listed on, any sanctions or restricted-party list maintained by the EU, the UN, OFAC, the United States, the United Kingdom, Estonia, or another applicable authority; (b) you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, organised under the laws of, or accessing the service from, a country or territory that is the subject of comprehensive sanctions or a trade embargo; and (c) you will not use, export, re-export, transfer, or make the service or data available in violation of any applicable export-control or sanctions law, and will not provide the service or data to any prohibited person, entity, or destination.

11.3 Prohibited use. You must not use the service or the data for any end use prohibited by applicable export-control law, and you must not use it on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any sanctioned person, entity, or jurisdiction.

11.4 Our rights. We may, in our sole discretion and to the extent we consider necessary to comply with these laws or to manage legal risk, screen customers and transactions, decline or cancel an order, refuse, restrict, suspend, or terminate access, withhold or reverse a delivery, and block payments — at any time and, where lawful to do so, without liability and without refund where the cause is your breach of this section. A representation in this section that proves untrue is a material breach permitting immediate termination under §12.

12. Termination & suspension

12.1 Termination by you. You may stop using the service at any time and may cancel renewal of a subscription as described in §8.4. Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund except as provided in §8.7 or required by law.

12.2 Suspension. We may suspend or restrict your access to all or part of the service, immediately and with or without notice, where we reasonably believe: (a) you are in breach of these terms (including §§3, 9, 10, and 11); (b) your use poses a security, legal, operational, or reputational risk, or threatens the integrity or availability of the service or the data of others; (c) payment is overdue, has failed, or has been charged back; (d) suspension is required to comply with law, sanctions, or a request from a competent authority; or (e) we reasonably suspect fraud or unauthorised use of your account or tokens. Where practicable and lawful, we will aim to give notice and an opportunity to cure, but we may act first where the risk warrants it. We may revoke or rotate API tokens as part of a suspension.

12.3 Termination by us. We may terminate these terms and your access: (a) immediately, for a material breach that is not cured within a reasonable period after notice (or that cannot be cured, or that involves §§9, 10, or 11, fraud, or unlawful use); (b) immediately, where required by law or sanctions or to manage serious legal risk; or (c) for convenience on reasonable prior notice, in which case we will, as your sole remedy, refund the pro-rated portion of any prepaid fees for the remainder of the then-current subscription term not yet delivered. We may also discontinue a product or the service as a whole on reasonable notice, with the same pro-rated refund for an unexpired prepaid term.

12.4 Effect of termination. On termination or expiry: your licence and right to access the API and to receive new snapshots or updates end immediately; you must stop using the service except as permitted by §9.7; and any tokens are revoked. Snapshots and data you lawfully obtained and incorporated before termination may continue to be used only as permitted by §9.7, the licence in effect when you obtained them, and the applicable source licences — except that we may require you to cease use and delete data where termination is for breach of §§9, 10, or 11 or where a source licence so requires. Fees already due remain payable. Sections that by their nature should survive — including §§2, 4, 8.8, 9.2–9.7, 10, 11, 12.4, 13, and the limitation-of-liability and governing-law sections — survive termination.

12.5 Deletion of account data. After termination we may delete your account data, including tokens and usage logs, in accordance with our Privacy Policy and our retention schedule, subject to records we must keep to comply with law (for example, tax and accounting records) or to resolve disputes and enforce these terms.

13. General

13.1 Entire agreement. These terms, together with any order form, plan, or written agreement we enter into with you, the Privacy Policy, and any policies referenced in them, are the entire agreement between you and Daystrom OÜ regarding the service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject. Where an enterprise order form or signed agreement conflicts with these terms, the order form or signed agreement controls for that customer to the extent of the conflict. Pre-printed or standard terms on your purchase order or other documents do not apply and are rejected. No statement outside these terms is relied upon unless made fraudulently.

13.2 Severability. If any provision of these terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision is to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if it cannot be, severed; the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

13.3 No waiver. A failure or delay by either party to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it or of any other provision. A waiver is effective only if in writing and signed by the party granting it, and applies only to the specific instance.

13.4 Assignment. You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense these terms or any rights or obligations under them, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent; any attempt to do so is void. We may assign or transfer these terms, in whole or in part, to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of assets, on notice to you. These terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in these terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and there are no third-party beneficiaries.

13.5 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance (other than an obligation to pay money) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disaster, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labour disputes, epidemic or pandemic, government action, sanctions, changes in law, failure or unavailability of utilities, networks, or third-party infrastructure or sub-processors (including hosting, database, payment, and email providers), and internet or telecommunications failures.

13.6 Notices. We may give notice to you by email to the address associated with your account, by posting in your account or on the website, or through the service; such notice is effective when sent or posted. You must send legal notices to Daystrom OÜ at the registered address in the Operator section, with a copy to data@daystromworks.com. It is your responsibility to keep your contact details current.

13.7 Language and interpretation. These terms are made available in English, which is the controlling version; any translation is provided for convenience only and does not override the English text. Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation. "Including" means "including without limitation."

13.8 Relationship to governing law. These sections are governed by, and the governing-law and dispute provisions in §7 apply to them in the same way as to the rest of these terms. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any right or remedy you have under mandatory law that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including mandatory consumer-protection rights; where a provision conflicts with such a mandatory right, that right prevails to the extent of the conflict and the remainder of the provision continues to apply.
