# Terms — approval-number

> Terms of use for the site, and the terms that apply to the paid datasets.

## Terms

Free to read, republished under the Open Government Licence, and not a food safety assessment.

### Using the site

The pages are free to read and to link to. The underlying facts come from a
public register published under
 Open Government Licence
v3.0 , with attribution to the Food Standards Agency. The reconstructed
history — first seen, last seen, months present — is our own work on that
material.

**Nothing here is a food safety assessment or legal advice.**
Approval is a legal status, not a rating. We take care over the extraction but
do not correct the register, and **nothing here replaces the FSA's own
published file**. In particular, absence from this site is not evidence
that an establishment is unapproved.

Automated bulk retrieval of the pages is not the intended use. The same data
is available as a file, described on [the datasets
page](/data.md).

### Data sales

Alongside free consultation, this site offers datasets prepared from the
public register. **The pages of the site remain free ;** what
is charged for is the compilation work — extraction, reconciliation, dating and
formatting.

**Prices.** Prices are shown in GBP, before any tax that may
apply depending on where the buyer is established. They may change ; the
price that applies is the one shown at the time of the order.

**Ordering and payment.** No payment is taken on this site and
no bank details are entered here. Orders are placed by form or by e-mail ;
an invoice is issued separately and is payable by bank transfer. Delivery
follows payment unless agreed otherwise.

**Delivery.** By download link, as CSV and Parquet, with the
field dictionary and the collection date. For a subscription, at every
collection, for the period subscribed.

**What is guaranteed, and what is not.** We guarantee that the
data delivered matches what was collected from the source on the stated date,
and that the fields are those described. **We do not guarantee that the
source itself is complete or accurate** : the register is published
by a public body and we do not correct it. The data is supplied for information
and does not replace consulting the official register.

**If the delivery does not suit you.** Tell us within fourteen
days. If the delivery does not match what was described, it is corrected or
refunded. A subscription can be stopped at any time for the following period,
with no notice and no penalty.

**Re-use.** The underlying facts come from a public register and
belong to no one. What you buy is the prepared file : you may use it inside
your organisation and in your own products. Reselling the file as such, as a
competing product, is not covered.
