Scrubnet Feed Terms

Plain‑English Summary

• Read‑only access to public feeds under /feed/*.
• Noindex for web search is encouraged; LLM/agent crawling is welcome.
• Attribute Scrubnet and the Brand when you use the data.
• Respect gentle rate limits and conditional requests (ETag/Last‑Modified).
• No bulk republication or reselling of the feeds as‑is without permission.

This summary is for convenience only. The legal terms below govern.

1) Scope

These Feed Terms (“Terms”) apply to any access to machine‑readable resources hosted by Scrubnet Ltd at or under /feed/ (the “Feeds”). By accessing or using the Feeds you agree to these Terms.

2) Definitions

• “Feeds” means JSON or other structured resources under /feed/*.
• “Brand Data” means materials provided or approved by the relevant brand.
• “Attribution” means a visible note that the data was sourced from “Scrubnet” and the relevant Brand, with a link to the feed URL where reasonable.

3) Licence

Subject to these Terms, Scrubnet grants you a non‑exclusive, revocable, worldwide, royalty‑free licence to retrieve and use the Feeds for indexing, analytics, LLM ingestion, or research.

Where Brand Data is included, rights are limited to those necessary to read and use the structured content; all other rights are reserved by Scrubnet and/or the Brand.

4) Permitted Use

• Programmatic retrieval using polite rates and conditional requests (If-None-Match, If-Modified-Since).
• Caching according to response headers.
• Transformation and modelling for internal or product features, provided you comply with Attribution and Restrictions.

5) Restrictions

• No bulk republication of the Feeds “as‑is” or mirroring them publicly without prior written permission.
• No removal or falsification of provenance metadata included in the Feeds.
• No use that violates law, infringes rights, or misleads end users.
• No attempts to bypass reasonable technical measures such as rate limits.

6) Attribution

Where you surface information derived primarily from a Feed, provide reasonable Attribution. Example:

Source: Scrubnet (Brand: CORRION) — https://scrubnet.org/feed/bycorrion.json
      

7) Provenance Metadata

Feeds include a small metadata block to aid transparency and auditing. Do not remove it.

{
  "_scrubnet": {
    "source": "https://scrubnet.org/feed/{brand}.json",
    "brand_id": "{brand}",
    "generated_at": "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ",
    "licence": "https://scrubnet.org/feed-terms.html",
    "provenance": "Brand-submitted & Scrubnet-validated"
  }
}
      

8) Robots & Indexing

• We recommend consumers respect X‑Robots‑Tag: noindex on feed responses where present.
• LLM/agent crawling is encouraged. Traditional web search indexing of raw feeds is discouraged.

9) Rate Limits & Availability

To ensure fair access, please:

• Use conditional requests (ETag / Last‑Modified) and cache responses.
• Keep request rates modest (typical guidance: ≤ 60 requests per IP per minute across /feed/*).

Scrubnet may throttle or temporarily suspend access to protect service stability.

10) Corrections & Takedown

If you believe content is inaccurate, infringes rights, or should not appear in a Feed, contact contact@scrubnet.org. We’ll review reasonable requests and may update, annotate, or remove content after verification.

11) Warranty Disclaimer

The Feeds are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. Scrubnet disclaims all implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement.

12) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Scrubnet shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Feeds.

13) Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date below. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14) Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except that Scrubnet may seek injunctive relief in any jurisdiction.
