1. Who this applies to

This AUP applies to you, to every User you authorise, and to anyone who accesses the Service through your Account or your credentials. You are responsible for the acts and omissions of all of them as if they were your own.

2. Prohibited conduct

You must not, and must not permit or enable any third party to:

2.1 Competing and copycat use

access or use the Service in order to build, train, benchmark or improve a competing product or service, or to copy any feature, function, workflow or look-and-feel of the Service;
resell, sublicense, rent, lease, time-share or operate the Service as a service bureau for the benefit of third parties, except as expressly permitted in an Order;

2.2 Extraction and redistribution of Service Data

scrape, crawl, spider, harvest, systematically download or bulk-extract Service Data except through the user interface and the documented export and API channels, within your Plan limits;
redistribute, republish, resell, sublicense, syndicate or otherwise make Service Data available to third parties outside your organisation, except in incidental quantities within an internal report;
use Service Data to create a derived dataset or product that substitutes for a subscription to the Service;
remove, obscure or alter any attribution, watermark, audit marker or proprietary notice.

2.3 Re-identification and source data

attempt to derive, reconstruct or reverse-engineer the underlying source data, individual transactions, or the identity of any specific seller, buyer or other person from aggregated Service Data;
combine Service Data with other data in order to re-identify individuals or de-aggregate the statistics we publish.

2.4 Security and integrity

circumvent or attempt to circumvent any authentication, access control, rate limit, quota, watermark or usage-measurement feature;
probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Service or its infrastructure, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure, except under a written authorisation from us (for example a coordinated disclosure or an agreed penetration test);
introduce or attempt to introduce any virus, worm, trojan, ransomware, time-bomb or other malicious or disruptive code;
launch or facilitate any denial-of-service attack, or impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Service;
access any account, data or area of the Service that you are not authorised to access.

2.5 Unlawful, harmful and infringing use

use the Service in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right, including intellectual-property, privacy, data-protection, competition, consumer-protection, export-control, sanctions and anti-corruption laws;
upload or transmit content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, obscene, harassing, deceptive, or that breaches a person's privacy or intellectual-property rights;
use the Service to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on natural persons;
use the Service in connection with high-risk activities where its failure could lead to death, personal injury, or severe property or environmental damage;
use the contact, messaging or export features to send spam or unsolicited communications.

3. Your responsibility for downstream use

You are solely responsible for how you and your Users use, export, combine and act on Service Data, and for ensuring that such use complies with every law and third-party obligation that applies to you and your industry. The Service provides directional market intelligence derived from an observed sample; it is not a source of legal, regulatory, accounting or investment truth, and we make no representation that any particular downstream use is lawful in your jurisdiction.

4. Reporting abuse

If you become aware of any actual or suspected violation of this AUP, or of any security vulnerability, please report it to us at support@trendskew.com. We welcome good-faith security research conducted under a written authorisation and will not pursue researchers who act in line with such an authorisation.

5. Enforcement and consequences

We may investigate suspected violations of this AUP and cooperate with law-enforcement and other authorities. Where we reasonably believe a violation has occurred or that your use poses a security, legal or operational risk, we may, with or without notice and in our reasonable discretion: throttle, suspend or restrict access; remove or disable offending content or use; require you to remediate; terminate the Account in accordance with the Terms; and pursue any other remedy available to us at law or in equity. We will lift any suspension once the underlying cause is remedied. A violation of this AUP is a material breach of the Terms.
