3. Annual Licence rental may be used as often as required for one year from the date of supply and must be destroyed or updated upon expiry of the licence. If the list is imported to a database or merged with other data it is the responsibility of the list purchaser to ensure that every record can be easily identified and removed if necessary. As part of an annual licence agreement customers are entitled to three free updates throughout the licence period however, it is up to the customer to request them.

6. E-mail addresses are prone to frequent change, as well as being unreachable for a number of technical and other reasons (account disabled, mailbox full, limit on individual message size anti-spam policy, firewall etc.) A much higher level of
   e-mail ‘gone-aways’ is to be expected than for traditional mail. For this reason APIS is unable to provide refunds for e-mail addresses.

14. Under the telecommunications regulations 1998 there are rules relating to the use of telemarketing and fax marketing. Our lists are checked against CTPS, TPS and FPS lists but our clients are still by law responsible for their own use of fax or phone numbers. Numbers that are on these lists are not supplied, but as it is such a small proportion of the overall database they are still charged for.
