Terms of service
Last updated: 11 October 2026
1. Who we are
POLICYANDPLAY LTD, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17253846). Registered office: 7 Cosford Drive, Shortstown, Bedford MK42 0DQ, United Kingdom. ICO registration: ZC165321. Email: [email protected]. We trade as Regional Commerce Data. We are not VAT registered.
2. Business customers only
Regional Commerce Data is sold to businesses, for business use. By buying you confirm you are doing so for the purposes of a trade, business or profession.
If you are a sole trader or an individual who buys outside your business, in other words as a consumer, you keep your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, including the 14-day right to cancel. Nothing in these terms reduces them. See our refunds and cancellation page.
3. What we sell
- Single lead, £5. One matched business from public registers: name, company number, area, start date and when we spotted it. One-off payment, delivered by email.
- Intel, £29 a month. A monthly summary of what similar firms look like across the UK. Subscription.
- Weekly packs, £99 a month. A weekly email of distress signals, market samples, new-company teasers and links to stock sellers, filtered to the trades and region you choose. Subscription.
- Free weekly list. A short weekly email. Free, and you can leave at any time.
Data comes from Companies House and The Gazette. See the methodology. We match and summarise it. We do not promise that any company will buy from you, or that data is complete or current. Registers change.
4. Prices and payment
The price shown is the total you pay. We are not VAT registered, so no VAT is charged, and there are no hidden fees. Payment is taken by Stripe. Prices are in pounds sterling.
5. How the contract is formed
Choosing a product and paying is an offer to buy. The contract starts when Stripe confirms payment and we send your access or first delivery. We may refuse an order, for example where we suspect fraud, and will refund anything taken.
6. Delivery
Leads are emailed within a few minutes of payment. Intel is sent monthly and packs weekly, on Mondays. A week can be thin. When it is, the pack says so. Check your junk folder if something has not arrived, then email us.
7. Subscriptions and cancelling
Intel (£29) and packs (£99) renew automatically every month on the date you first paid, at the price shown when you bought, until you cancel. To cancel, email [email protected] from the address you used to buy, at any time. We confirm by email. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for, so you keep access until then. We do not offer free trials. If that changes we will remind you before a trial converts. We will email you before any price rise, at least 30 days ahead, and you can cancel before it takes effect.
8. Packs guarantee: your first month back
If your first four weekly packs together contain fewer than two matches in the trades and region you chose, you can ask for that first month back. A match is a distress signal or a new-company row that fits your chosen trades and region. To claim, email [email protected] within 14 days of the fourth pack, with your Stripe receipt. We check and refund the £99 to your original payment method within 14 days of agreeing. The guarantee applies once per customer and sits on top of your legal rights.
9. Cancellation rights and refunds
See the refunds and cancellation page. Nothing here is a blanket "no refunds" rule.
10. Acceptable use of the data
You may use what you buy for your own business prospecting and market research. You must not:
- resell, republish or share the data, or bulk-load it into a service for others;
- send marketing that breaks the law. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), sole traders and most partnerships are treated like individuals. You need their consent, or a valid soft opt-in, before you email or text them for marketing. Limited companies and LLPs can be emailed for business-to-business marketing if you identify yourself and give an easy way to opt out. Check the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and Corporate TPS (CTPS) before cold calling. You are responsible for knowing which kind of business you are contacting;
- use the data to harass, to discriminate, or to make decisions about credit, insurance or employment about an individual;
- look for or use personal contact details of individuals in ways that breach UK GDPR. You become the controller of any personal data you take from us. Tell people where you got it if they ask, and stop when they object;
- scrape, copy or attack the site, or share your access link.
We may suspend or end access, without refund of the current period, if you break this section.
11. Intellectual property
We own the site, the packs and our selection and arrangement of the data. You get a personal, non-transferable licence to use what you buy for your own business. The underlying register data is public. Companies House and Gazette information is used under the Open Government Licence.
12. Information, not advice
We provide business information. It is not legal, financial, credit or insolvency advice. Distress signals are not a statement that a company is insolvent or will not pay. Check before you extend credit or act.
13. Third-party links
Packs link to sellers and auction sites such as eBay and others. We earn no commission or fee from those links and have no affiliate arrangement with them. They are separate services with their own terms.
14. Our liability
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
Subject to that, and for business customers only: we are not liable for lost profits, lost business or indirect loss, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it arose. We are not responsible for what you do with the data.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. For material changes that affect a subscription, such as price, renewal or what you receive, we email you at least 30 days before they apply, and you can cancel before then. We do not rely on you simply carrying on using the service.
16. Privacy
See our privacy policy.
17. Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales and its courts have jurisdiction. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
