## Data

- Freshness: stored
- Countries: United States, United Kingdom, France
- Keep data: 5 Record of diligence. You may keep a response, unaltered and with its verified dates, as a record of what you checked and when, for as long as you need it for your own audit, compliance or record-keeping purposes. Display as current. You must not display, return to a user or rely on a cached fact as current after the earlier of its next_check_at date and 30 days after you received it. Deletion. When your access ends, delete cached API data other than records of diligence you are entitled to keep under the first point above.
- Use data: 2 Keys. [...] You may use a key in your own applications and for your own users, but you may not sell, lend or share it with another organisation. 3 You must not evade a limit or the free allowance, including by using several keys or free keys under several e-mail addresses, rotating IP addresses, using proxies or distributing calls across accounts. 5 No substitute dataset. You must not aggregate cached responses into a database, index or dataset that is used as a substitute for the API, offered to third parties, or used to answer queries about businesses you have not looked up through the API in the ordinary course of your own use. No bulk harvesting. You must not call the API to retrieve files systematically for the purpose of building a copy of all or a substantial part of the dataset. 6 When you display, publish or pass on a Jid fact to anyone outside your organisation, including through an AI agent's answer, you must: name the source agency or registry for the fact and the date it was verified (verified_at), credit Jid and, where the medium allows, link to the file at https://jid.com/e/<id>, keep the meaning of the response intact [...]. You must not suggest that Jid, its operator or any source agency endorses you, your product or any business.
