Below are the Terms of Use governing the access and use of our products and services, including the web dashboard, API, Excel add-in, and online queries (collectively referred to as the “Platform” or “Services”).

Reading and understanding these Terms of Use is essential to ensure proper and secure use of our solutions. By using the Platform or purchasing any of our plans, you agree to all the terms and conditions set forth herein. If you do not agree, we recommend that you do not proceed with using our Services.

1. Purpose

1.1. Services Offered

CNPJá provides tools for querying CNPJ information, issuing proof of registration, and verifying registration status with the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (Receita Federal) and other public agencies (such as Simples Nacional, Suframa, etc.). Additional features include geocoding, advanced company research, and other amenities.

1.2. Products

The range of products and services includes:

  • Web Dashboard for queries and report generation.
  • API for integrations (commercial and public).
  • Excel Add-in for accessing data within Microsoft Excel.
  • Online queries, available publicly with limited access or through a registered account.

1.3. Nature of the Information

CNPJá is not the original source of the data queried. The information displayed is obtained from public sources (Federal Revenue Service, State Treasury Department—Sefaz, Suframa, and others). Therefore, we are not responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, or availability of this information in the public databases.

2. Registration and Access

There is no age restriction for using our Services. Any individual or legal entity may create an account on the Platform.

To access advanced features, such as real-time updates or issuing proof of registration, you must create an account on our website.

  • 2.2.1. Registration Information. When registering, you are responsible for the truthfulness and completeness of all data provided.
  • 2.2.2. Responsibility for Credentials. You are responsible for keeping your login, password, and API keys confidential. Sharing these credentials with third parties (within your company or with IT service providers) is entirely your responsibility. CNPJá is not liable for unauthorized access resulting from user negligence or intentional sharing of credentials.

2.3. Free Plan

After registering, you will have access to a free plan, which offers 50 credits and a limit of up to 10 queries per minute. These credits can be used for certain specific operations, such as real-time data updates.
