Every entry is cross-checked against at least one primary or near-primary source before shipping (official gazettes, government/labour-inspectorate pages, or corroborating law-firm coverage where a primary source isn't in English). unclear means we genuinely couldn't confirm either way — we'd rather say that than guess. Full sourcing detail and a human-readable version live at righttodisconnect.jdries.nl.
Not legal advice. Laws change; verify anything consequential independently. If you spot an error or have a better source for an unclear entry, corrections are genuinely welcome — see the contact note on the main site.
Free to use, including commercially. Attribution (a link back to righttodisconnect.jdries.nl) is appreciated but not required. No API key, no tracking, no rate limit as of this writing — this may change if usage patterns require it, in which case this page will say so first.
