Terms of Sale

Last updated 2026-07-12

These Terms of Sale govern your right to access and use ReadySet Products - individual data products ("Products") and the All-Access subscription. By completing a purchase you agree to these terms. Payment, VAT, invoicing and payment-side refunds are handled by our merchant-of-record provider under its own checkout terms (see §7); these Terms govern your licence to use the Products and our service commitments. Where they conflict with the merchant-of-record's terms on payment, tax, invoicing or chargebacks, that provider's terms apply to those matters.

Who you are buying from. ReadySet is a trading name of bagits, a business registered in the Netherlands - Chamber of Commerce (KvK) no. 62709410, VAT/BTW no. NL001814180B75, registered address Brunssum, The Netherlands. You can reach us any time via our contact form. In these terms "we"/"us" means ReadySet.

1. Consumers and businesses

These terms apply differently depending on who you are.

  • If you buy as a consumer (acting outside a trade, business or profession), you keep all mandatory rights under Dutch and EU consumer law, including the rules on the supply of digital content and digital services. Nothing in these terms removes, limits or waives those rights, and where any clause conflicts with them, your mandatory rights prevail.
  • If you buy as a business (including the commercial tier or under an enterprise order form), you confirm you act in the course of a business, the business-specific provisions below apply, and the consumer-only remedies do not.

2. What you are buying - and what you are not

Each Product is a downloadable, cleaned build (typically Apache Parquet) with a data dictionary and QC report, derived from third-party open-data sources. You buy a licence to use the delivered build under our Licence - not ownership of the underlying data.

  • A per-file purchase gives you the current build plus access to future refreshes while we maintain the Product and the source remains available and legally reusable. You keep the builds delivered to you permanently, subject to the Licence.
  • The All-Access subscription is a licence to access the datasets available in our catalogue during your subscription. The catalogue is dynamic: datasets may be added, updated, re-sourced, frozen, discontinued, replaced or removed over time. Unless an order form expressly says otherwise, no individual dataset is guaranteed to remain available or to keep updating for any period. You pay for access to the catalogue as a whole, not for any single dataset.

3. Third-party sources and continuity

Our datasets are compiled from independent public, open-data and open-government sources that we do not control. We do not warrant that any source will continue to publish, update, license or make data available. A source may stop publishing, change its licence, restrict access, or require removal of data.

If that happens we may freeze a dataset (keep the latest historical build available, stop updating it), discontinue it (withdraw it from active sale, keep history available where permitted), or withdraw it (remove it where law, a licence, privacy, or third-party rights require). We may act without prior notice where a legal, privacy, security, or licence reason requires; otherwise, where reasonably practical, we update the dataset's status or notify materially affected customers. Where legally permitted we will continue to make available the latest historical build we lawfully collected before the change. We are not obliged to recreate, reconstruct, or source replacement data unless an order form says so. Refresh schedules shown on the site are targets, not guarantees, and depend on continued upstream publication, legal reuse rights, technical access, and our quality checks.

4. If a dataset changes, freezes or disappears

Datasets depend on upstream sources we do not control (see §3). A dataset may stop updating, lose part of its history, or be withdrawn entirely - because its source goes away, changes its licence or access terms, starts charging for access, or a legal, privacy or third-party-rights reason requires it. For business customers, and for non-material catalogue changes, this is a normal part of a catalogue built on third-party open data and is not a breach of these terms. For consumers, your mandatory rights continue to apply where a change means the digital content or service no longer conforms to what was described or could reasonably be expected.

  • Business customers: no automatic per-dataset refund or credit. Your purchase or subscription is access to the catalogue as it exists from time to time - not a promise that any particular dataset will remain available, keep updating, or cover any given period, unless a signed order form says otherwise. All-Access fees are paid for the catalogue as a whole and are not apportioned to individual datasets, so if one non-guaranteed dataset changes or disappears no dataset-specific refund or credit falls due.
  • You keep what you have. Where legally permitted, you may continue to use any build already delivered to you, subject to these terms and the applicable upstream source licence. If we notify you that a delivered build must no longer be used because of a legal, privacy, security, licence or third-party-rights issue, please stop using it and delete it where a valid legal notice or the law requires.
  • You control future spend. You can cancel future renewals at any time from your billing portal (see §13 and our Refund Policy); cancellation stops renewals but is not a refund of a period already started.
  • Consumers: none of the above limits your mandatory rights under Dutch and EU consumer law (see §1). If a dataset that was a material, advertised basis of your purchase permanently becomes unavailable, you keep whatever proportionate statutory remedy the law gives you - that is a matter of law, not a per-dataset formula in these terms.

5. Guarantees are opt-in, and in writing only

Nothing in the catalogue is "guaranteed" by default. We give a binding availability or refresh guarantee for a specific dataset only where we have expressly agreed to it in a signed written order form (signed by hand or electronically) that names the dataset and the commitment. Absent such a signed order form, no dataset is guaranteed and §4 applies in full. Where a signed order form does exist, its own terms govern that dataset and prevail over §4 to the extent they conflict.

We are never required to distribute data where we reasonably believe doing so would breach law, licence terms, privacy obligations, or third-party rights.

6. Legal withdrawal

We may suspend, remove or withhold any dataset (in whole or part, including history) if we reasonably believe continued distribution may breach law, a source licence, data-protection/privacy obligations (including a valid erasure request), third-party rights, or a security or compliance requirement. Where withdrawal is legally required we may be unable to continue providing even historical data.

7. Price and payment

Prices are shown in euro (EUR), inclusive of applicable taxes where required. Payment is taken at checkout via Polar (polar.sh), which acts as our merchant of record and handles payment collection, EU VAT and invoicing under its own checkout terms. We do not store your card details. ReadySet remains responsible for providing access to the Products and subscriptions as described in these Terms.

8. Delivery

Products are delivered digitally. After successful payment you receive a download link by email and/or on the confirmation page. Delivery is normally immediate.

9. Accuracy and "as is"

Products are derived from open data. We apply documented cleaning and quality checks (see each Product's QC report). For business customers, Products are provided "as is": we do not warrant that the data is complete, accurate, current, uninterrupted, or fit for any particular purpose, and you are responsible for validating suitability for your use case. For consumers, we stand behind each delivered build conforming to its description and our documented checks, as required by law. See also section 11.

10. Acceptable use, licence and no repackaging

You may use Products under the Licence. You may not:

  • resell or redistribute a Product in a way that breaches the upstream source licence or our Licence; or
  • repackage, resell or redistribute our cleaned datasets, in whole or in substantial part, as (or as part of) a competing data catalogue, data feed, or data-as-a-service product. The commercial tier permits use of the data within your own analyses, models, applications and client deliverables; it does not permit rebuilding a competing dataset service from our compilation. To the extent protected by law, our cleaned compilation, schema, documentation and QC materials - including our selection, arrangement and presentation - are protected by intellectual-property and database rights and by these terms. These terms do not restrict any rights you independently have under the applicable upstream open-data licence, or in public-domain / CC0 material obtained from the original source (see the Licence).

Your account and any API key are personal to you and must not be shared, resold or made available to others. One account = one user or one organisation as licensed.

  • Fair-use limits. Access is subject to reasonable rate and volume limits so the service stays fast for everyone. Automated/API access is for retrieving the datasets you use - not for bulk-mirroring the catalogue on behalf of others.
  • Keep your key private. Treat your API key like a password. You are responsible for activity under your account and key. You can rotate it anytime from your account.
  • If we detect misuse - for example a key used from many places at once, or volumes consistent with sharing - we may, at our discretion and without notice, rate-limit, throttle, suspend or reset the key or account, in addition to any other remedy. Genuine high-volume needs are welcome - just contact us first.

11. High-risk uses

The datasets are not provided for use as the sole or determinative basis for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals - including credit, insurance, employment, tenancy, or automated decision-making - or for safety-critical purposes, unless expressly agreed in writing. You are responsible for your use, including any human oversight and legal compliance required (for example under the GDPR and the EU AI Act).

12. Personal data

We aim to avoid including personal data in Products. We use source selection, data minimisation, aggregation, stripping and automated checks to reduce the risk that a Product contains personal data. However, open and public datasets can sometimes contain direct or indirect personal data. If you believe a Product contains personal data, contact us - see our Privacy Policy. We operate a takedown process and may suspend, redact or withdraw affected data, and will act on valid requests as required by law.

13. Refunds and subscription

  • Because Products are digital goods delivered immediately, statutory withdrawal rights are limited once delivery has begun with your consent - see our Refund Policy. This does not affect your separate conformity and discontinuation remedies in sections 4 and 9.
  • Subscriptions run monthly or annually and renew automatically at the then-current price until cancelled. If the renewal price increases, we or our merchant-of-record provider will notify you before the renewal where required by law, and you can cancel before the renewal date to avoid the new charge. You can cancel any time from your billing portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period (you keep access until then; no further charges). Downloads made while subscribed remain licensed after the subscription ends; the right to make new downloads ends with it.

14. Liability

Consumers keep all mandatory rights; nothing in this section limits them.

For business customers, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) our total aggregate liability under or in connection with these terms is limited to the fees you paid in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; (b) we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or business interruption; and (c) we are not liable for loss arising from source discontinuation, data inaccuracy or incompleteness, or your use of the data in the high-risk contexts in section 11. These limitations apply whether a claim is based on contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise. Nothing excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law (including for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence).

15. Governing law and complaints

These terms are governed by the law of the Netherlands. As a consumer you keep the mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence. Have a complaint? Contact us first via the contact form - we aim to resolve issues quickly. (The EU Online Dispute Resolution platform was discontinued in 2024.)

16. Changes

We may update these terms; the version in force is the one published at the time of your purchase or, for subscriptions, the current period. Material changes affecting a live subscription will be notified where required by law.

17. If ReadySet stops

Sections 3 and 4 cover what happens when a source stops publishing. This section covers what happens if we do.

What you keep, whatever happens. Every build already delivered to you remains yours under the licence you bought - a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual licence (see *Your rights as a buyer* in the Licence). That licence does not depend on our continued existence, this website, or your account, and it does not lapse if we cease trading. The underlying data is public-domain or openly licensed by its original publisher, so your right to keep and use what you have downloaded was never ours to withdraw. Our API publishes a SHA-256 checksum for every file, so you can verify years from now that an archive you hold is byte-for-byte what we delivered - with or without us.

If we cease offering the service. If we decide to stop offering ReadySet - as distinct from being acquired, restructured, or changing what the catalogue contains - then, so far as we are lawfully able:

  • we will give at least 60 days' notice by email to every active subscriber and to any account with a purchase in the preceding 12 months;
  • we will stop taking subscription renewals from the date of that notice, and refund unused prepaid subscription time pro rata;
  • All-Access subscribers may export the entire catalogue their tier licenses, in bulk, for the whole notice period (see the API - this works today, not only at wind-down);
  • at the end of the notice period we will publish the final build of every dataset we may lawfully redistribute through the public channels we already use, under the same upstream licences that apply today;
  • we will release the pipeline source code that produces those datasets under a permissive open-source licence - excluding credentials, third-party code we cannot relicense, and anything under a confidentiality obligation.

What this is, and what it is not. This is a wind-down commitment, not a data-escrow agreement: there is no third-party escrow agent, no deposit held on your behalf, and no release-on-demand mechanism. It is also not a continuity of service. Published files and released code let you take the work over; they do not keep the data updating. Once we stop, a dataset is only as current as the day we stopped, unless you run the pipeline yourself.

Limits. We may be legally or practically unable to publish or release some or all of it - for example where a licence, a court order, privacy law or a third party's rights forbid it, or where an insolvency practitioner controls the assets. We commit to what is lawful and within our control at the time. Nothing in this section creates a trust, a security interest, or a right of enforcement over our assets in favour of any customer or third party. For consumers, nothing here limits your mandatory rights under Dutch and EU consumer law (see section 1).
