License and permitted use
Use is limited to the rights expressly stated in LICENSE.md in the immutable downloaded archive; this listing grants no additional rights.
Update policy
This is an immutable, versioned fixed download. The archive does not state an automatic update entitlement.
Limitations
- Do not imply completeness, legal advice, observed customer behavior, or guaranteed commercial outcomes.
- No third-party redistribution restriction detected for prepared metadata-only artifacts.
- The edition contains current-quarter records returned by the bounded openFDA query at capture time; it is not a complete recall universe or public alert service.
- FDA states that enforcement-report status is not a recall lifecycle tracker and may remain unchanged after classification.
- The records are unvalidated public evidence and must not be used for medical, legal, or regulatory decisions; consult FDA and a qualified professional.
- The nested openfda annotation is excluded so this edition does not redistribute GMDN or other separately licensed annotation content.
Product-specific FAQ
- Is this a recurring hosted Zentra service?
- No. The download manifest identifies this as an immutable, one-time fixed download.
- Does the archive include credentials or buyer-account access?
- No. The buyer documentation states that credentials and external accounts are not included.
