Poland UOKiK Abusive Clauses Registry Scraper | Rejestr Klauzul Niedozwolonych

Screen your consumer contracts against 7,500+ court-banned clauses from Poland's official UOKiK registry of abusive clauses - structured JSON, in bulk, beyond what the registry's manual search allows. Using a clause matching a banned one is automatically void and can expose your company to fines of up to 10% of annual revenue, so this is the register you check terms of service, loan agreements, and return policies against.

No login, no API key, nothing to configure - search by defendant, plaintiff, or legal category.

What data do you get?

One record per banned clause, with its ruling and the full text:

Is it legal, and where does the data come from?

Data comes from the official UOKiK registry of abusive clauses at rejestr.uokik.gov.pl, maintained by Poland's consumer-protection authority under the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection (ustawa o ochronie konkurencji i konsumentow). The registry is public - it exists so businesses can check their contracts against banned terms. Extraction of this public data is permitted; you remain responsible for lawful use downstream.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape the UOKiK registry? Yes. It is an official public registry published so businesses can verify their contracts. Extraction of public data is permitted; you remain responsible for lawful use downstream.

Do I need an account or API key? No. No login, no key, nothing to configure - just an Apify account.

How do I screen my own contract? Export the clauses (by industry, or all of them) and compare your contract text against clauseText. Clauses close to a banned one are the ones to rewrite.

What are the categories? 24 legal categories corresponding to specific provisions of Polish consumer-protection law (excessive penalties, unfair termination, liability limitations, and so on). Pass one via category.

What export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or read live via the API.

Limitations

• The registry has ~7,500 entries total; a full export takes a few minutes.
• Results depend on the source portal's structure; a portal redesign may affect parsing.
• Category filters correspond to specific provisions of Polish consumer-protection law.
