Use dataYou must use the service only on sources that are publicly accessible or that you are otherwise authorized to access, and only in compliance with applicable law. [...] You must not reverse engineer the service except where the law permits it notwithstanding this clause, resell or white-label the service as a standalone scraping, rendering, or browser-automation api or platform substantially similar to it, or use it to build a competing service. You may build the service's functionality and results into your own products, provided your product's primary value is not the resale of generic scraping, rendering, or proxy capacity. [...] Do not use the service to break the law. [...] Do not use the service to: access content behind authentication, paywalls, or other access controls, unless the account used is yours or you have the authorization of the owner of that account, extract content through an account — even your own — by automated means where the terms governing that account or service prohibit automated access or collection, test, stuff, or otherwise abuse credentials, circumvent technological protection measures where the law prohibits it. [...] Do not use the service, or data obtained through it, for: consumer credit decisions, tenant or employment screening, insurance eligibility, or any purpose regulated as consumer reporting, determining any person's eligibility for a government license or benefit, law-enforcement or intelligence purposes, or as evidence in criminal proceedings, except where we have agreed to it in writing in advance, making automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without the safeguards data protection law requires. [...] Regardless of lawful basis, you must not use the service to: build or feed databases whose purpose is profiling, locating, or monitoring identifiable individuals (people-search, surveillance, or dossier services), make the collection of special categories of personal data (GDPR art. 9 [...]) a systematic, targeted purpose of your scraping [...]. Do not direct request volumes at a target that are designed to — or that you should reasonably expect to — degrade or disrupt it. [...] The following categories are restricted under crawlbrulee's own network-wide policy [...]: banking, financial services, and cryptocurrency exchange portals, gambling and betting platforms, government websites and e-government services, app stores, ticketing platforms, streaming services and other DRM-protected media delivery, mailbox providers and webmail. [...] Do not tunnel arbitrary traffic through it, expose it (or its proxy capabilities) as a standalone proxy or network service, or resell access to it except as embedded functionality of your own product as permitted by the terms. [...] Do not create multiple free-tier organizations for one legal entity, register accounts by automated means, or rotate organizations or accounts to accumulate free credits.
