## Data

- Freshness: live
- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: You agree not to: Use the Services in violation of applicable law. Use outputs to harass, surveil, discriminate against, or harm individuals or groups. Send spam, manipulate platforms, or engage in deceptive or fraudulent activity. Infringe intellectual property or other rights of third parties. Attempt to access non-public data, bypass rate limits or technical controls, or probe our systems in ways that could harm availability or security. Resell or redistribute the Services in ways that misrepresent their source, or use them to build a substantially similar competing API without our written consent. [...] On any plan you may incorporate Social Fetch data outputs into your own products and services, present them under your own brand without attribution to us, and supply them to your own customers. 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. [...] Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services for your internal business purposes or to power your applications for your end users, in each case as intended.
