Can an agency use Forager or Prospeo data for clients?
Check the license first.

Prospeo's terms bar resale and redistribution of output data and ask you to contact them about resale arrangements.
Do I pay when no email or phone is found?
Neither charges for a contact it does not return. Forager charges its 5-credit email and 15-credit mobile lookups only on success, though searches cost 1 credit per call. Prospeo returns NO_MATCH at 0 credits and does not charge again for a record enriched in the last 90 days.
