You may not share or resell API keys or other access credentials, expose the Social Fetch API itself as a like-for-like API, or build a substantially similar competing API. This gives you no right beyond what we hold ourselves in the underlying data: the terms of the source platforms, restrictions that apply to us and applicable law, including data-protection law, still apply, and you remain responsible for how your own customers use what you supply.
