REACH/CLP API — Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-06-03

These terms govern use of the REACH/CLP Compliance API ("API"), currently served at reach-clp-api.corridor-econ.workers.dev (and any future custom domain).

1. Service description

The API provides reference information about chemical substances under EU REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, including SVHC candidate-list status, Annex XVII restrictions, and CLP hazard classifications. The data is derived from publicly available European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) sources.

2. Acceptable use

By accessing the API you agree to these Terms. You agree to:

• Respect the rate limit of 50 requests per window (free tier) or as configured for your paid plan
• Not redistribute API responses as a standalone product or service
• Not use the API to make automated compliance, product safety, or procurement decisions for regulated products without independent verification against official ECHA sources
• Not interfere with the operation of the API or attempt to bypass rate limits

3. Data accuracy — NO WARRANTY

THE API DATA IS PROVIDED "AS IS" FOR REFERENCE ONLY. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE DATA IS CURRENT, COMPLETE, OR ACCURATE.

REACH and CLP regulations change frequently. SVHC candidate-list additions, Annex XVII amendments, and hazard classifications are published by ECHA and may not be reflected in our data immediately. You must independently verify any compliance-critical information against the official ECHA sources (echa.europa.eu) before making product safety, procurement, regulatory, or commercial decisions.

4. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, PENALTY, FINE, RECALL COST, REGULATORY ACTION, OR OTHER ADVERSE OUTCOME arising from use of or reliance on the API. Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims is limited to:

• Free-tier users: zero (€0)
• Paid-tier users: the fees actually paid by you in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, OR one hundred euros (€100), whichever is greater

5. Service availability

The API is provided on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee uptime or availability. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the API or any tier at any time. For paid tiers, we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of material changes affecting your subscription.

6. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for any reason including suspected abuse, breach of these Terms, non-payment, or regulatory necessity.

7. Governing law & jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION]. Disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in [COURT LOCATION].

8. Changes

We may revise these Terms at any time. Continued use of the API after revision constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. For paid-tier customers we will provide reasonable notice of material changes.
