idlidu — Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
====================================
Version: 2026.09.15-counsel-approved
Date: 15 September 2026
Status: COUNSEL-APPROVED FOR PUBLISH — effective 15 September 2026.
Related: Terms · Privacy · Bot contact · per-Dataset /legal pages

1. Purpose

This AUP states what you (and your Agents) may and may not do with idlidu.
It applies in addition to the Terms of Service and each Dataset’s methodology
and legal page. If there is a conflict on a Dataset-specific risk (e.g. “not
a credit rating”), the Dataset legal page controls for that product.

2. Allowed use

- Automated Agents and scripts calling documented APIs / MCP tools within
  plan quotas and rate limits.
- Research, internal tooling, monitoring, and product features that respect
  methodology disclaimers and do not misrepresent Content.
- Caching Content for your internal use as needed to implement your systems.
- Citing Content with methodology / schema versions where you redistribute
  derived analytics.

3. Forbidden use

You must not, and must not enable others to:

3.1 Security and abuse
- Bypass authentication, Keys, paywalls, or access controls on idlidu or
  Upstream sources.
- Probe, scan, or attack networks, hosts, or accounts you do not own or lack
  authorisation to test (including using idlidu ingest ideas as a pretext).
- Attempt to disrupt the Service (overload, poison, exploit).

3.2 Key and billing abuse
- Share Keys across separate customer organisations.
- Farm Keys, rotate identities, or otherwise evade quotas or bans.
- Use complimentary / soft-launch Keys for production workloads beyond what
  was granted.

3.3 Misrepresentation
- Present Dataset output as a credit rating, security certification, legal
  advice, tax advice, investment advice, brokerage, appraisal, official
  government product, or employment decisioning system.
- Strip methodology, disclaimer, or citation fields in a way that makes
  Content appear authoritative beyond what we claim.

3.4 Rights and redistribution
- Resell raw snapshot bulk dumps as a competing archive except where an
  Archive entitlement expressly allows export / redistribution.
- Use the Service to build a substantially identical substitute archive
  product by bulk extraction in violation of plan terms.
- Violate Upstream copyright, database rights, or website terms applicable
  to your own conduct (your use of Content does not grant you idlidu’s
  Upstream fetch permissions).

3.5 Law and sanctions
- Use the Service in violation of applicable law, including export controls
  and sanctions regimes that apply to you.
- Use idlidu to collect or process personal data unlawfully.

3.6 Upstream interference
- Instruct us (or attempt to use our bots) to log into Upstream accounts,
  bypass robots / paywalls, or scrape properties you know forbid it.

4. Agents

Agents you run are treated as your tools. Prompting an Agent to violate this
AUP is a violation by you. You must configure Agents with appropriate Keys,
quotas, and human oversight for high-impact decisions.

5. idlidu-operated bots (our fetchers)

When idlidu fetches public sources for Dataset archives:
- Bots identify via the Bot page (05-BOT-CONTACT.txt / https://www.idlidu.com/bot/).
- Prefer allowlists; live fetch gated by each track’s SOURCES / ToS notes.
- Modest cadence; robots.txt respected by default.
- No login or paywall bypass.
Site owners with rate or opt-out concerns: research@idlidu.com

6. Enforcement

We may investigate suspected violations. We may throttle, suspend, or revoke
Keys, refuse service, delete abusive accounts, and report criminal activity
to authorities.
We are not obligated to monitor all Content or customer use.

7. Reporting

Report AUP abuse or security issues: research@idlidu.com
Founders mail — multi-day replies, not a ticket SLA.

8. Changes

We may update this AUP. Material changes will be posted on
https://www.idlidu.com/legal/aup/.
