Firmtrail API: terms of use

1.Who we are

The Firmtrail API (“the API”) is provided by J Wibe, a Norwegian sole proprietorship (enkeltpersonforetak), organisation number 935 681 162, Vestliveien 33, 1415 Oppegård, Norway (“we”, “us”). Contact: support@firmtrail.io.

We are not registered for VAT; prices are stated without VAT.

2.These terms and RapidAPI’s

You subscribe to the API through RapidAPI. RapidAPI’s own terms govern your RapidAPI account, your API key, payment, billing and refunds. These terms govern your use of the API and the data it returns. If the two conflict on how you may use the API or its data, these terms apply. By subscribing to or calling the API you accept these terms.

3.The service

The API returns data about companies:

• job postings collected from public job board APIs and companies’ own careers pages;
• company profiles built from a few public pages of a company’s own website and its public DNS records;
• signals derived from our own earlier snapshots of that data.

Request limits and quotas are those of your plan, as shown in the listing. We may refuse requests beyond them (HTTP 429), and refuse new profile builds when our capacity or cost limits are reached (HTTP 503).

4.Permitted and prohibited use

You may use the data in your own products and services, including commercial ones, within your plan’s limits.

You must not:

1. resell, sublicense or redistribute the data as a dataset or a competing data API, in whole or in substantial part (showing results to your own users inside your product is allowed);
2. use the data to profile, track, contact or make decisions about individual people. That includes people named in job descriptions, and building lists of people from the data;
3. try to get around your plan’s limits, our gateway or our security, or call the API other than through RapidAPI;
4. use the API in a way that breaks the law, including data protection law, or the rights of others.

5.Third-party content

Job descriptions, company descriptions, URLs and other text in the data are published by third parties (the companies and platforms we collect from). We do not check or edit them, except that we remove email addresses and phone numbers and convert job descriptions from HTML to Markdown.

• Treat that text and those URLs as untrusted: they may be wrong, out of date, offensive or unsafe to open or execute.
• Job descriptions can name people (for example a recruiter), because the company wrote them that way.

If you store data that contains personal data, you are its controller, with the duties data protection law gives you. Those include having a legal basis, keeping it no longer than you need, and honouring removal requests.

6.Removal and changes to the data

Companies, job boards and people can ask us to remove data, and we may stop collecting from a source. Removed data stops being returned by the API, usually within minutes. If you keep copies of data that we have removed, delete them when we tell you or when you learn of it.

7.No warranty

The API and the data are provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not guarantee that the data is complete, accurate, current or fit for a particular purpose, or that the API will be available without interruption. We aim to keep it running but promise no service level. We may change, suspend or stop the API; breaking changes to /v1 follow our versioning policy, with notice in the listing’s changelog.

8.Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost data or business interruption. Our total liability under these terms in any 12 months is limited to the fees you paid for the API in those 12 months. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer under mandatory law.

9.Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end your access, with notice where reasonable, if you break these terms, abuse the API, or put the service or others at risk. You may stop at any time by cancelling your subscription on RapidAPI.

10.Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. We publish the new version in the listing with its date. For changes that reduce your rights, we give at least 30 days’ notice in the listing before they apply to you. If you keep using the API after that, you accept the change.

11.Privacy

How we handle personal data, including the keyed identifiers we derive from your RapidAPI user name to apply your plan’s limits, is described in our privacy notice. We never store your RapidAPI user name or your IP address. While a profile you asked for waits to be built, we keep the requested company’s domain with a keyed hash of your user name; the counts of your plan’s quota are kept under another keyed hash until the calendar month they count is over.

12.Support and requests

Support, removal and data protection requests go to support@firmtrail.io.

• We answer data protection requests within one month.
• We answer other support questions as soon as we reasonably can.

13.Law and courts

These terms are governed by Norwegian law. Disputes go to Oslo tingrett (Oslo District Court). This does not take away any mandatory protection you have as a consumer under the law of the country where you live.
