# Verification Grace Period

The grace period is based on the verification timestamp of each certificate and company. The system evaluates the exact moment a certificate or company is verified and applies the grace period from that point onward.

Each certification and company will have its own unique grace period, ensuring that the timeframe for accessing verified data is tailored to the specific verification event.

#### Grace Period per Plan Type <a href="#grace-period-per-plan-type" id="grace-period-per-plan-type"></a>

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="125.5833740234375"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Free</td><td>7 days</td></tr><tr><td>Basic</td><td>30 days</td></tr><tr><td>Standard</td><td>30 days</td></tr></tbody></table>

> **Example Scenario:**
>
> * A user subscribes to the **Basic plan** on **September 10, 2024**, which includes **150 verifications annually** and a **30-day grace period** from the date of each verification.
> * For the first week of September, the user verifies **2 certificates**, each with its own verification grace period.
>   * **CERT-001** verified on **September 2, 2024** at 10:01 AM
>   * **CERT-002** verified on **September 5, 2024** at 11:30 AM
> * Each certificates will get their own grace period reset *(30-day grace period)*
>   * **CERT-001** resets on **October 2, 2024** at 10:01 AM
>   * **CERT-002** resets on **October 5, 2024** at 11:30 AM

#### **Post-Grace Period Usage** <a href="#post-grace-period-usage" id="post-grace-period-usage"></a>

Once the grace period ends, any subsequent access to the verified data will be subject to verification charges or limits as per the subscription model.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.iafcertsearch.org/verifiers/getting-started/verification-rules/legacy-subscription-plans/verification-grace-period.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
