Acceptable Use Policy

1. Purpose

The Service exists to give individuals a calm, accurate, and accessible window into cryptocurrency markets. To preserve that experience for everyone we need clear rules about how Cryptopricing may be used. This AUP lists the behaviours that are not allowed and the steps we may take when they occur. It is intended to protect other users, our data partners, and the integrity of the Service as a whole.

2. Scope

This AUP applies to all interactions with Cryptopricing, including but not limited to:

• the public website;
• mobile, desktop, or browser-extension clients (when available);
• the REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, or similar APIs we expose;
• embedded widgets, iframes, and content deliveries;
• communication channels we operate (support email, community forums, social feeds).

3. Prohibited conduct

You must not, and must not allow a third party to, engage in any of the following when using the Service.

3.1 Unlawful activity

Use the Service for any activity that violates applicable law, regulation, sanction, or court order - including financing terrorism, money laundering, tax evasion, market manipulation, insider dealing, fraud, or activities prohibited in the jurisdictions where you or your end-users are located.

3.2 Security-related offences

• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any Cryptopricing system or network without our prior written permission;
• circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with any security or authentication feature (including rate limits, CAPTCHAs, user-agent checks, access tokens, or encryption);
• introduce viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, logic bombs, or any other malicious code into the Service;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to any account, data, server, or network connected to the Service;
• attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive the source code of any part of the Service except as expressly permitted by applicable law.

3.3 Abuse of infrastructure

• generate load that is disproportionate to a reasonable human or lawful integration use case;
• conduct denial-of-service (DoS) or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks;
• operate "click farms", artificial-traffic services, or any tool that fabricates engagement metrics;
• consume resources in a way intended to harass, disrupt, or disadvantage any user, employee, or partner of Infraviewer LTD.

3.4 Scraping and unauthorised automation

• use bots, crawlers, or other automated tools to access the Service except via our published API and within its documented limits;
• extract, index, cache, or mirror substantial portions of the Service - including market tables, historical charts, category lists, news feeds, or exchange directories - without prior written consent;
• circumvent any measure we use to prevent or restrict access to the Service;
• re-sell, re-distribute, or sub-licence data obtained from the Service to third parties, whether for consideration or otherwise, without a separate data-licensing agreement with Infraviewer LTD.

3.5 Account and identity abuse

• create accounts using false, misleading, or stolen identity information;
• operate multiple accounts to evade rate limits, content moderation, or enforcement actions;
• impersonate another person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any individual or organisation;
• share, sell, rent, lease, or sub-licence your account credentials;
• use the Service to collect, harvest, or profile personally identifiable information about other users.

3.6 Prohibited content

You may not upload, share, publish, or link to content via the Service that:

• is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, hateful, threatening, or otherwise objectionable;
• infringes a copyright, trademark, trade secret, publicity, privacy, or other intellectual-property right;
• promotes or facilitates illegal activity - including illegal drugs, weapons, gambling, terrorism, or human trafficking;
• includes malware, phishing payloads, or links intended to deceive other users;
• impersonates or falsely attributes statements to Infraviewer LTD or any of its staff.

3.7 Market manipulation and misleading signalling

• post content intended to manipulate prices (pump-and-dump, wash trading signalling, fake news);
• operate or promote rug-pulls, pyramid schemes, Ponzi schemes, or any other fraudulent investment scheme;
• present sponsored content as independent research without a clear disclosure.

4. Rate limits and fair use

Public endpoints on Cryptopricing are subject to rate limits that protect reliability for all users. Registered API consumers receive documented per-token limits, which may be raised by arrangement for legitimate use cases. Exceeding the limits will result in temporary throttling; repeated or malicious excess will result in key revocation.

As a general rule of fair use, automated clients should (a) identify themselves with a descriptive User-Agent, (b) cache responses where feasible, (c) honour retry-after headers, (d) avoid burst traffic at the top of the minute, and (e) subscribe to our WebSocket streams (where available) rather than polling endpoints at high frequency.

5. Security research and responsible disclosure

We welcome good-faith security research. If you believe you have identified a vulnerability please report it to security@cryptopricing.net and give us a reasonable opportunity to remediate before public disclosure. You must not exploit any vulnerability beyond the minimum necessary to demonstrate it, must not exfiltrate personal data belonging to other users, and must not disrupt the Service. Researchers who act in good faith and follow this policy will not have legal action taken against them for their research.

6. Enforcement

We may take any of the following actions, in our sole discretion, in response to a suspected or actual violation of this AUP:

• issue a written warning;
• throttle, suspend, or revoke API credentials;
• hide, lock, or remove content;
• suspend or terminate affected accounts;
• block IP addresses, devices, or networks;
• report violations to law enforcement or other relevant authorities;
• pursue civil or criminal remedies, including injunctive relief and damages.

We may act without prior notice where we reasonably believe immediate action is necessary to protect the Service, our users, or third parties. Attempts to evade enforcement (for example by creating replacement accounts or routing traffic through proxies) are themselves violations of this AUP.

7. Reporting violations

If you see behaviour on Cryptopricing that violates this AUP - scraping, spam, harassment, phishing, market manipulation, or anything else - please report it to abuse@cryptopricing.net with as much detail as possible (URLs, timestamps, screenshots, and any relevant context). We investigate credible reports promptly and may follow up for more information.

8. Third-party integrations

If you build an application that consumes the Cryptopricing API and makes it available to end users, you are responsible for ensuring that your end users comply with this AUP and with any additional agreement between your application and Infraviewer LTD. You must not facilitate bulk redistribution of Cryptopricing data outside the terms of your API agreement. We may require you to display attribution, to honour specific data provider terms, or to take down applications that materially violate this AUP.

9. Sanctions and export controls

You agree not to use the Service in a manner that violates economic sanctions, embargoes, or export-control laws administered by the United Kingdom, European Union, United States, United Nations, or other competent authority. You represent that you are not a sanctioned person and that you will not re-export or provide the Service to sanctioned persons.

10. Changes to this AUP

We may update this AUP from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will take effect fourteen (14) days after posting, except where a shorter period is required by law or where a change addresses an urgent security or abuse situation. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised AUP.
