Terms of Use

About These Terms

Sunbiz Daily is operated by Easy Call Tech, LLC ("we", "us"). These Terms of Use govern your use of sunbizdaily.com, its exports and its API (together, the "Service"). By using the Service or creating an account, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organization.

Eligibility and Accounts

• You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the Service.
• You must give accurate information when you sign up, verify your email address, and keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for keeping your password, sign-in links and API keys secure, and for all activity under your account and keys. Tell us promptly if you believe they have been compromised.
• You may not create or use additional accounts to obtain more free credits or to get around a limit, suspension or charge. We may merge, restrict or close accounts used this way.

The Service and Its Data

Sunbiz Daily displays public business records published by the Florida Division of Corporations, including corporation, fictitious name and partnership filings. Sunbiz Daily is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the State of Florida.

We provide this data as we receive it. We do not guarantee that it is accurate, complete or current, that map locations are correct, or that the Service will always be available. For official records, refer to the Florida Division of Corporations. You should independently verify information before relying on it for business, legal or financial decisions.

AI and automated features. Natural-language searches are interpreted by an AI model, and industry labels are assigned by keyword rules and an AI model based on the business name. Interpretations and labels may be wrong or incomplete and are provided for convenience only.

Personal details in filings. If your personal information appears in a filing, you can ask us to hide it, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Sunbiz Daily is in beta. We are still building it, so features, limits and availability may change, and the Service may have errors or interruptions. The commitments in these Terms about prices, founding accounts, credits, notice and refunds still apply.

Third-party services. Some parts of the Service rely on or link to services run by others, such as Stripe for payments and OpenStreetMap for maps. Those services operate under their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.

Intellectual property. The underlying public records are not owned by us. The Service itself, including its design, software, compilation and presentation of the data, belongs to Easy Call Tech, LLC and its licensors.

Free Access, Credits and Founding Accounts

Searching, the interactive map and filing pages are free and do not require an account. Taking records out of the Service is measured in credits. A record is one filing delivered to you: a row in a download, an item in an API list or job result, a line in a bulk file, or a single filing requested through the API. Each record costs one credit.

Founding accounts. Accounts created before we began offering paid access ("founding accounts") continue to have free access to exports and the API at this time. We aim to keep it that way, and if that changes, we will give you at least 30 days' notice before any charge applies to your account.

Free credits. Other accounts receive 500 free credits in each 30-day cycle, counted from the day the account was created. Free credits are used before purchased credits, expire at the end of their cycle, do not carry over, have no cash value and are not refundable.

Repeat requests. Repeating the same request (the same address and search parameters) within 30 days only uses credits for records it did not already return. A request with a different page, filter or date range is a new request.

Not enough credits. If your credits cannot cover a request, an API request is refused and a download includes only the records your credits cover. Downloads and other requests are also subject to size and rate limits described on our pricing and developer pages.

Promotions. We may offer promotional credits or complimentary plans. Unless we say otherwise when we offer them, promotional credits have no cash value, are not refundable, and expire on the date stated.

Buying Credits

• Price. Credits cost $2 per 1,000 ($0.002 per credit). You can buy them in packs or in an amount from $5 to $5,000.
• Processing fees. The payment processor's fee is added to your purchase at cost: 2.9% plus $0.30 for card payments, and 0.8% (capped at $5) for US bank account payments. The total, including the fee, is shown before you pay.
• Price changes. A credit always pays for one record. Price changes apply only to future purchases, and we will give at least 30 days' notice before a price increase.
• Auto top-up. If you turn on auto top-up, you authorize us to charge your saved payment method for the amount you choose (at least 2,500 credits), plus the processing fee for that method, whenever your balance falls below the threshold you set. If a charge fails, auto top-up is turned off and we email you. You can turn it off at any time.
• Expiry. Purchased credits expire after 12 months without use. Any purchase, auto top-up, or export or API request that uses credits restarts the 12-month period. We email you 30 days before purchased credits expire.

Unlimited Plan

Unlimited is an optional subscription at $40 per month, unless a promotion we offer applies. While it is active, exports and API records do not use credits, though size and rate limits still apply. We never move an account onto it automatically.

The subscription renews monthly and is billed through Stripe until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your profile page or the Stripe customer portal. After you cancel, Unlimited continues until the end of the period you have paid for, and no prorated refunds are given for partial months. If a renewal payment fails, we may keep Unlimited active for a short grace period while payment is retried, after which the account returns to credits.

Refunds

• Unused purchased credits are refunded on request, at the price you paid for them, to the original payment method, including when you ask us to close your account.
• Processing fees paid at purchase are not refunded.
• Free and promotional credits, and purchased credits that have already expired, are not refundable.
• Unlimited subscription payments are not refunded for partial months, except as described in the next point.
• If we close your account or discontinue the Service for any reason other than fraud, abuse, a payment dispute or a serious violation of these Terms, we refund your unused purchased credits and the unused portion of any Unlimited period.

Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. Easy Call Tech, LLC is the seller for every purchase and subscription and is the name that appears on your card or bank statement. We do not store your card or bank account numbers.

Taxes. Prices are in US dollars and do not include taxes. If we are required to collect sales or similar taxes, they are added at checkout.

Payment disputes. If a payment is reversed or disputed with your bank or card issuer, we may remove the credits it bought, suspend exports and API access until it is resolved, and recover the value of credits already used.

API Use

• API access requires an API key. Keep your keys confidential; you are responsible for all requests made with them.
• API use is subject to the rate limits and other limits described in our developer documentation. Contact us if you need higher limits.
• We may change, limit or retire API versions and endpoints. When a change removes functionality you rely on, we will try to give reasonable advance notice.

How You May Use the Data

You may use records you obtain from the Service for any lawful purpose, including commercial purposes such as lead generation, research, and use in your own CRM or internal tools.

You may not:

• republish, resell, sublicense or redistribute the data in bulk, or use it to build or offer a database, directory, data feed or API that substitutes for or competes with the Service;
• use the data to decide anyone's eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, housing or similar purposes. Sunbiz Daily is not a consumer reporting agency;
• contact people or businesses in violation of laws that apply to you, including laws on telemarketing, text messaging, email marketing and privacy;
• misrepresent the data, its source, or your relationship with Sunbiz Daily or the State of Florida.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• scrape or harvest data from the website pages, or use any means other than exports and the API to take data out of the Service in bulk;
• get around credits, limits, bot checks or other access controls, including by sharing API keys or using multiple accounts;
• interfere with, overload or disrupt the Service, or attempt to access systems or data you are not authorized to access;
• use the Service to harass, stalk, threaten or harm any person or business;
• use the Service for any illegal purpose;
• use the Service from a country subject to US sanctions, or if you are on a US government restricted-party list.

To report misuse of the Service or its data, such as harassment, or a security issue, email [email protected].

Your Content

You keep ownership of the content you create in the Service, such as saved searches, lead lists and notes. You give us permission to store and process it to operate, secure, support and improve the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for your content, including making sure that notes about other people are lawful and accurate, and we may remove content that violates these Terms.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.

Suspension and Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time, and you can ask us to close your account as described in our Privacy Policy. We may suspend or close your account, or revoke API keys, if you violate these Terms, if we suspect fraud or abuse, if a payment fails or is disputed, or if required by law. We may also discontinue the Service, or close an account for any other reason, with at least 30 days' notice. Refunds on closure are described under Refunds. Sections that by their nature should continue after your account ends, including How You May Use the Data, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law, continue to apply.

Disclaimers

The Service and all data are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Nothing on the Service is legal, financial or other professional advice.

We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages at our providers and delays or gaps in the Florida Division of Corporations' data releases.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Easy Call Tech, LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or business opportunities, arising from or related to the Service or these Terms, even if we were told they were possible.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims arising from or related to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have that cannot be waived or limited by contract.

Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Easy Call Tech, LLC from claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your use of the Service or its data, your content, or your violation of these Terms or of law.

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute arising from or related to the Service or these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state courts located in Volusia County, Florida, or the federal court for the district that includes Volusia County, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction.

Changes to the Service and These Terms

We may change the Service over time. When we change these Terms, we publish a new version with the date it takes effect. For material changes, we tell you on the site, may also email you, and ask you to accept the updated Terms to continue using your account. We give at least 30 days' notice before a price increase or before charges apply to a founding account. If you keep using the Service after updated Terms take effect, including through the API or an API key, or without an account, you accept the updated Terms.

Notices and Electronic Communications

You agree that we may provide agreements, notices, receipts and other communications to you electronically, by email to the address on your account or on the site, and that these satisfy any requirement that they be in writing. Legal notices to us should be sent to [email protected].

General

These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent; we may transfer ours as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of our business.
