We typically do not accept customization of our standard legal terms for API and internal bulk data license clients.

We founded OpenSanctions as an engineering-centric business that creates high-quality data for risk management and sanctions compliance. Our goal is to provide thought-out data at a fair price.

Our prices are structured to enable the development and maintenance of the products we offer, not to retain an expensive sales-focused legal team.
