- Respect the rate limits and quotas associated with your purchased fund packages.
- Not attempt to circumvent any of our security measures or technical limitations.
- Store and process data in a manner that complies with all relevant privacy regulations (like GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
3. Service Availability and Modifications
Our goal is to provide a reliable and consistent service.
- Uptime: Our engineering goal is to maintain a 99.9% uptime, measured on a monthly average.
- Service Modifications: We continuously work to improve our services. We may update, modify, or enhance our services, and we will provide you with at least 15 days' notice for any material changes that might impact your usage.
- Service Discontinuation: In the unlikely event that we need to discontinue the service, we will provide all users with a minimum of 15 days' notice. The only exception would be in the case of a sudden, unforeseen external event (such as a major technical obstacle from LinkedIn) that makes providing the service impossible. Refunds for unused funds will be provided in such case.
4. Data Usage
You acknowledge and agree to the following regarding the data accessed through our API:
- The data consists of information that is publicly available on LinkedIn.
- You must maintain a clear and appropriate privacy policy for your users regarding how you use this data.
- You will not use the data for any illegal, unethical, or malicious purposes.
- You will not store or cache data for longer than is reasonably necessary for your specific, legitimate use case.
5. Payment and Account Balance
Our service operates on a pay-as-you-go basis where you buy fund packages to top up your account balance.
- Payments to buy fund packages are processed securely through our trusted payment partners. All purchases are one-time payments.
- Your account balance is debited for each API request you make based on our current pricing. You are responsible for monitoring your own balance.
- Each fund package you purchase is valid for 365 days from the date of that specific purchase. Unused funds from a purchase will expire after this period. To ensure maximum value for you, we will always deduct funds from your oldest active package first (First-In, First-Out)
- No refunds are provided for partially used or expired funds, unless required by law.
- We reserve the right to modify our pricing for API requests. If we do, we will provide you with at least 15 days' notice.

8. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our service or the law. We will notify you of any material changes via email or a notification on our platform. Your continued use of the service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.
