Terms of Service — subscriptions, licence, Merchant of Record

Who we are

EPR Rates (“we”, “us”) publishes cross-country extended producer responsibility (EPR) fee rate data at eprrates.com. The service is operated as a sole trader by Sida Li, trading as EPR Rates. Buyer support: hello@eprrates.com · +44 7845 126919.

These terms apply to your use of this site and to any subscription you take out with us.

What we provide

We extract packaging, battery, WEEE and textile EPR fee rates from the official publications of the statutory producer responsibility organisations and tax authorities of each country we cover, and publish them with a source link, a snapshot hash and a verification date per row. How we source and verify is described on the Methodology page.

This is reference data, not legal or compliance advice. You remain responsible for your own declarations, filings and payments to any scheme or authority.

The free tier and its licence

Data on this site is published under CC BY 4.0 — you may reuse it with attribution and a link. Source documents remain under their publishers' terms. This is reference data, not legal or compliance advice.

The free tier is the current rate tables on this site plus sample.csv. Full fields, historical series and per-change detail are not part of the free tier.

Paid subscriptions

Subscriptions are annual. Prices are as published on the Pricing page, in EUR, excluding VAT:

Free — €0
Single Country — €290 / year
Rate Card 28 — €690 / year
Redistribution — from €2,400 / year

There is no self-service checkout on this site. Email hello@eprrates.com and we reply with a quote. A subscription starts on the date of the first payment, runs for twelve months, and renews annually unless you cancel the renewal. Cancelling is covered by our Refund Policy.

Paid tiers are licensed for use inside your own organisation. Republishing or reselling the data to third parties, or embedding it in a product you distribute, requires the Redistribution licence. The free tier stays under CC BY 4.0 for everyone, including you.

Products for sellers

Two products are sold to the people who place packaging on the market, as opposed to the annual data subscriptions above:

Multi-country cost report — €19, one-off. You give a packaging list (the countries you sell into, and the kilograms you place on each market per material) and receive a PDF: every line with the country's own official category code, the rate exactly as the scheme published it, the per-kilogram figure, your kilograms, the fee, a link to the rate row on this site and to the official source, and the date each was last verified; the registration fee, scheme minimum and published volume threshold per country; and a summary per country and per currency. Currencies are not converted.
Rate-change monitoring — €29 per year, report included. Your list is stored and re-checked with every weekly batch. When a rate on it changes, or a registration fee, scheme minimum or threshold in our rules library changes, we recalculate that country's total on your own list and email you the old and new figures with the source. The subscription is annual, renews until cancelled, and is covered by the Refund Policy.

Countries that publish no tariff are included in both products as mechanism, registry and where to ask for a quote — never as an invented figure. Neither product requires an account: the email address you order with is the only identifier we hold.

The report is a factual compilation of published tariffs and rules with sources; it is not compliance, legal or tax advice and does not decide any classification for you. Which category a given piece of packaging falls into, and whether a threshold applies to your business, are determinations the scheme or the authority makes.

Payment and Merchant of Record

Orders are processed by our Merchant of Record, whose name is stated on the quote and on the invoice. It issues the invoice, handles sales tax and VAT, and handles refund requests; we never see or store your card details.

Your purchase is therefore also subject to that Merchant of Record's own buyer terms. Questions about the data itself are best sent to hello@eprrates.com.

Business customers

We sell to business customers — buyers acting for purposes relating to their trade, business, craft or profession. The service is not aimed at consumers. Where a buyer nonetheless holds non-waivable statutory consumer rights, those rights are not affected by these terms.

Accuracy and availability

Every published figure is traceable to an official document and carries the date on which it was last verified. We re-check sources weekly and correct errors by adding new rows under a bumped method version; published URLs and row anchors are permanent. We do not, however, guarantee that the data is complete, current or free of error, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the site.

Changes to these terms

We publish changes on this page and move the Last updated date above. Changes that materially affect a running paid subscription are notified by email to the subscriber address.

Governing law and disputes

These terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of the service, are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland have non-exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing in this clause removes or limits any mandatory protection or non-waivable right available to you under the law of the country where you are established. If something has gone wrong, write to hello@eprrates.com first — almost everything is resolved by correspondence.
