## Data

- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: Do not use Blopus to: break the law, or infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights, build a product whose main purpose is to resell or redistribute our search results as a competing search API, bulk export, mirror or reconstruct a substantial part of our index, share one account or key across separate businesses to avoid paying for a plan, work around rate limits, quotas or caps, for example by cycling accounts or keys, attack, overload, probe or reverse engineer the service, generate or amplify spam, malware, harassment or deliberate misinformation. Building your own application, agent or product that uses Blopus is exactly what the service is for and is fully permitted. [...] Without our prior written consent, you may not: use the service to design, build, train or improve a competing search index, crawler, or search or retrieval API, use the service on behalf of, or for the benefit of, a competitor, including through an employee, contractor, agent or affiliate, publish benchmarks, measured performance comparisons or head-to-head competitive analysis of the service without our prior written consent, which we will not unreasonably withhold, systematically query, sample or measure results in order to infer the size, coverage, freshness, composition or ranking behavior of our index, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any part of the service [...]. Results may reach: Personal, you, and nobody else, Business, third parties: your application's users, your customers, your clients. Reselling the API as your own search product, or redistributing our index in bulk, is not included at any tier and needs a separate written agreement.
