How buying works

  1. Choose a plan. “Order” opens your email app with the plan written out, addressed to hello@allowances.dev. If nothing opens, the page shows the address and the text to copy.
  2. We reply with an invoice that says how to pay.
  3. Once the invoice is paid, you get a download link by email: the CSV files, the source files and the README, in one zip.

The license in plain words

  • Who: your organization, its employees, and contractors working for it on its behalf.
  • Use: inside your own work and products. You may show single amounts, or calculations based on them, to your own customers inside your products and reports.
  • Analyses: you may publish analyses, charts, and aggregated or derived figures.
  • Not allowed: selling, licensing, sharing or publishing the dataset, or a substantial part of it, as data outside your organization; building a competing dataset or data product from it.
  • Term: the license to a delivered release does not expire. New releases come with the yearly updates add-on.
  • Errors: to report an amount you believe is wrong, write to hello@allowances.dev with the authority and the page. We check it against the source document. If the error is confirmed and you reported it within 30 days of delivery, you get a corrected file. Buyers of yearly updates also get corrections in every new release.
