    {
      "q": "Who uses Netstate?",
      "text": "Compliance, legal, finance and sales teams at companies of all sizes use Netstate to verify counterparties, run due diligence and monitor the companies they work with — alongside journalists, researchers and investors."
    },
    {
      "q": "How does Netstate get its data?",
      "text": "Every field is republished from a government source — Secretaries of State plus 16 federal datasets — and labeled with its origin so you can verify it. The full catalog and refresh cadence is in the methodology."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I try Netstate before buying?",
      "text": "Yes — search and company profiles are open to browse for free before you commit, no account needed. Opening contacts and premium records takes a plan: Starter is $15/month, and every plan is month to month, cancel anytime."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is a credit?",
      "text": "1 credit opens the premium data of one company — contacts and UCC liens today, bankruptcy and court records as they ship — and keeps them open for good. Everything else on a profile is free. Credits reset monthly; searching and browsing never spend credits."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I use Netstate data for credit or hiring decisions?",
      "text": "No. Netstate is not a consumer reporting agency, and its data may not be used for any purpose covered by the FCRA — decisions about credit, insurance, employment or housing. It is built for research and business due diligence, where your team reviews the records and makes the call."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I switch plans?",
      "text": "Yes — upgrade or downgrade anytime. Changes take effect immediately, prorated."
    },
    {
      "q": "How does billing work?",
      "text": "Plans are billed monthly — Starter $15, Basic $39, Pro $99 — and renew automatically until you cancel. Manage your card, invoices or cancellation anytime from your account. All prices are in USD."
    },
    {
      "q": "What happens if I cancel?",
      "text": "Your plan stays active until the end of the billing period, then access closes. Your account and the companies you unlocked are kept in case you come back. No lock-in, no exit calls."
    },
    {
      "q": "Do you offer API access?",
      "text": "Yes — API access, bulk exports and custom refresh schedules ship with the Enterprise plan. Tell us what you're building."
    },
    {
      "q": "I just need the data once — do I have to subscribe?",
      "text": "No. A one-off data export gets you a filtered CSV, XLSX or JSON file priced per record and field — from $0.004 per record, billed once. See netstate.co/export-data."
