Terms of Service.

PeppolStatus is operated by E‑Invoice BV, a company under Belgian law ("we", "us"):

E‑Invoice BV
Brusselsesteenweg 119/A, 1980 Zemst, Belgium
Enterprise number (KBO) 1018.265.814 · VAT BE 1018.265.814
RPR Brussels, Dutch‑language division

For legal notices and questions about these Terms, email legal@e-invoice.be.

PeppolStatus is a business‑to‑business service. By registering or subscribing you confirm that you act in the course of a trade, business, or profession (on your own behalf or on behalf of the organisation you represent) and not as a consumer. Consumer‑protection rules for private individuals do not apply to the Service.

If you accept these Terms on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind that organisation, and "you" means that organisation.

The "Service" is the PeppolStatus monitoring and market‑data platform: the public website and dashboards on peppolstatus.com, the REST API at api.peppolstatus.com, the MCP server at mcp.peppolstatus.com, and the app console at app.peppolstatus.com.

The Service is offered in tiers. Paid tiers differ in the endpoints they unlock and their rate limits, as described on the pricing page.

The free tier is provided as a courtesy. We may change, limit, or withdraw free access at any time without notice. Paid subscriptions are protected by the billing and termination clauses below.

The Service provides monitoring and market data about the Peppol network. It is not legal, tax, or compliance advice, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenPeppol AISBL.

You are responsible for your account credentials and for everything done with your API keys. Keep keys confidential and tell us promptly at legal@e-invoice.be if you suspect a key is compromised.

API keys are bound to your organisation. Your own staff, internal applications, AI agents, and MCP clients may use them. You may not share keys with, or make key‑authenticated access available to, anyone outside your organisation.

When using the Service you may not:

• Resell raw access. Do not resell, white‑label, or otherwise commercialise raw API access as such. What you may do with the data (including building commercial products on it) is governed by the data licensing terms.
• Circumvent limits. Do not evade rate limits, tier gates, or other technical restrictions, including by rotating keys, IPs, or accounts.
• Scrape instead of using the API. Do not systematically extract data from the website where the API provides it.
• Disrupt the Service. Do not probe, overload, or interfere with the Service or its infrastructure, or use it for unlawful purposes.

Your rights to use the Peppol network data itself (caching, redistribution, derived works, AI training) are set out in the PeppolStatus data licensing terms, which form part of your agreement with us.

Self-serve (Stripe)

Paid subscriptions bought through our Stripe checkout renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. Cancelling stops the next renewal; your plan stays active until the end of the period already paid. We do not refund partial periods, except where these Terms say otherwise (see clause 7 on termination for convenience).

Upgrades take effect immediately, with the price difference prorated for the remainder of the period. Downgrades take effect at the next renewal; there is no partial refund for the current period.

Invoiced plans (bank wire)

Plans bought on invoice are agreed in a short order form that states your organisation, tier, price, and period, and incorporates these Terms by reference. Invoices are due within 14 days of the invoice date.

If an invoice is overdue, we send a reminder; if it remains unpaid 7 days after the reminder, we may suspend the Service until payment, and terminate for breach if it stays unpaid. Late payments accrue the statutory interest and the fixed EUR 40 recovery cost under the Belgian law of 2 August 2002 on late payment in commercial transactions.

Price and plan changes

We may change prices or plan features with at least 30 days notice. Changes take effect at your next renewal, and you may cancel before then if you do not accept them.

All prices are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise.

By you. You can cancel a subscription at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Suspension by us. We may suspend your access immediately if we reasonably believe your use breaches clause 4 or 5, poses a security risk to the Service or its users, or if payment is overdue as described in clause 6.

Termination by us. We may terminate your subscription for convenience with 30 days notice; in that case we refund the pro‑rata part of any prepaid, unused fees. We may terminate for material breach if the breach is not cured within a reasonable period after notice.

On termination, your obligations for cached data and derived works follow the data licensing terms.

The Service measures and aggregates data from public Peppol infrastructure and official business registries. All data and metrics are provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that the data is accurate, complete, or current, that the Service will be uninterrupted or error‑free, or that it is fit for a particular purpose. We publish no uptime or support commitments unless expressly agreed in writing.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Service is limited to the fees you paid us in the 3 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. For free‑tier use, our liability is zero.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential damage, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, or for decisions taken in reliance on the data.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud (bedrog) or intentional fault, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory Belgian law.

The Service (its software, design, documentation, and the PeppolStatus name) remains our property or that of our licensors. These Terms grant you a non‑exclusive, non‑transferable right to use the Service during your subscription; they transfer no other rights. Peppol is a registered trademark of OpenPeppol AISBL; underlying registry data remains subject to the conditions of its respective source.

We may update these Terms. For material changes we give at least 30 days notice (by email to account holders or a notice on the Service); changes take effect at your next renewal, and you may cancel before then if you do not accept them. Non‑material changes take effect when published on this page.

These Terms are governed by Belgian law. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with them is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Dutch‑language courts of Brussels, Belgium.

If any clause of these Terms is found invalid, the rest remains in force, and the invalid clause is replaced by a valid one that best matches its intent.
