LEGAL
Terms of Service
Effective date: September 11, 2026
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of OpeningsData, including its website, membership features, datasets, downloads, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account, purchasing a membership, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
1. Eligibility and accounts
The Service is intended for business and professional use by persons who are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement. You must provide accurate account information, keep your login credentials secure, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity performed through your account.
2. The Service
OpeningsData provides information about businesses, including businesses reported as newly opened, recently opened, or expected to open. Data may be compiled from publicly available sources, third-party sources, automated collection, and internal processing. Available fields, coverage, update frequency, formats, and features may change.
3. Data provided “as is”
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and all data are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We do not warrant that any record is accurate, complete, unique, current, error-free, suitable for a particular purpose, or that a listed business has opened or will open on a stated date. Records may contain omissions, duplicates, outdated information, or information associated with the wrong entity.
You must independently verify information before relying on it or using it for business, sales, compliance, financial, legal, or operational decisions. OpeningsData is an information service and does not provide legal, financial, or professional advice.
4. Permitted use
Subject to an active membership and these Terms, you may access and use downloaded data for your own internal business purposes. You may not resell, sublicense, publish, redistribute, or make the data available as a competing database, directory, API, data feed, or lead-generation product without our prior written permission.
5. Responsible outreach and legal compliance
You are solely responsible for how you use the data. Before contacting any business, you must determine whether your proposed use is lawful and comply with all rules that apply to you and the recipient, including privacy, data protection, direct-marketing, telemarketing, anti-spam, consumer-protection, and industry-specific requirements.
- Do not send unlawful, deceptive, abusive, or unsolicited communications.
- Respect opt-outs, suppression lists, consent requirements, and do-not-contact requests.
- Provide required identification and unsubscribe mechanisms.
- Do not use the Service for discrimination, harassment, fraud, surveillance, or unlawful profiling.
The presence of contact information in the Service does not represent consent to receive marketing communications and does not guarantee that contacting that business is lawful.
6. Membership, billing, and cancellation
Paid memberships are billed at the price and interval displayed at checkout and renew automatically until cancelled. You authorize our payment provider to charge the applicable recurring fees and taxes. You may cancel future renewals through the available billing tools. Except where required by law or expressly stated otherwise, fees already charged are non-refundable, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period.
7. Downloaded files
Download history and stored export files are provided for convenience. You are responsible for keeping your own backups. We may introduce retention limits or remove files where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, storage management, account closure, or operation of the Service. Do not share private download links or allow unauthorized persons to access your account.
8. Prohibited conduct
You may not:
- circumvent access controls, membership limits, or security measures;
- use automated means to overload, disrupt, probe, or copy the Service outside its intended functionality;
- introduce malicious code or interfere with other users;
- misrepresent the source, quality, or accuracy of the data; or
- use the Service or data in violation of applicable law or third-party rights.
9. Intellectual property
The Service, its software, design, branding, selection and organization of data, and related materials are owned by or licensed to OpeningsData and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant only the limited right to use the Service described above and do not transfer ownership of the Service or its contents.
10. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms, create a security or legal risk, fail to pay applicable fees, or misuse the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including payment obligations, restrictions, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnity—will survive.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, OpeningsData and its operators, suppliers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, data, or opportunities; or claims resulting from reliance on data, unsuccessful outreach, third-party conduct, or interruption or loss of the Service.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid to OpeningsData for the Service during the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
12. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless OpeningsData and its operators from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your use of the Service or data, your outreach activities, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.
13. Third-party services
The Service may depend on or link to third-party services, including authentication and payment providers. Their services and terms are controlled by those third parties. We are not responsible for their availability, security, or conduct.
14. Changes to the Service or Terms
We may modify the Service and these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page and identified by a new effective date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or request new consent. Continued use after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
15. Governing rules and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator of OpeningsData, without prejudice to mandatory rights that apply under the law of your place of residence or establishment. Before commencing formal proceedings, both parties should attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through written communication.
16. General
If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them as part of a reorganization, transfer, or sale of the Service. These Terms constitute the agreement regarding the subject matter they cover.
