WolfMarket — Terms of Service

1. Who we are and what this covers

WolfMarket ("we", "the service") is operated by Freebranch LLC. These terms govern your use of the WolfMarket website, customer portal, dashboard, and API. By creating an account or using the service you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. What the service provides

WolfMarket aggregates publicly published market, economic, and company data from primary sources (statistical agencies, central banks, regulators, and intergovernmental organisations), normalises it, and makes it available through a dashboard and a JSON API.

WolfMarket does not provide exchange market data. We do not carry equity, bond, or futures prices, quotes, or any exchange-licensed feed. Nothing in the service is a real-time or tradable price.

3. Accounts, API keys, and security

• You must provide accurate registration details and keep your password and API keys confidential.
• API keys authenticate as you. You are responsible for all activity under your keys. Revoke a key in the portal immediately if it may have been exposed.
• We store only a cryptographic hash of each API key — a lost key cannot be recovered, only replaced.
• Do not share, resell, or sublicense your API key.

4. Plans, billing, and cancellation

• Paid plans are billed monthly in advance through Stripe. We do not receive or store your card details.
• Plans are defined by the number of tracked entities and whether raw API access is included. Current plan details and prices are shown on the pricing page and in your portal.
• You may cancel at any time; access continues to the end of the paid period. We do not provide pro-rata refunds for partial months unless required by law.
• Trials are time-limited. When a trial ends, access to tracked-entity data stops until a plan is chosen.
• We may change prices with reasonable notice; changes do not affect the period you have already paid for.

5. Acceptable use

• Do not exceed the published rate limits or attempt to circumvent them, including by using multiple accounts or keys to obtain capacity beyond your plan.
• Do not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the service, other accounts, or the underlying systems.
• Do not use the service to build a substantially similar competing redistribution service.
• Do not misrepresent the data's origin, or present modified figures as if they were unmodified output of an original source.

6. Data licences — obligations that pass through to you

This section is a condition of use, not a courtesy. WolfMarket only carries data it is permitted to redistribute, and several of those licences require that the same obligations flow to you and to anyone you pass the data to. By using the service you agree to honour them.

6.1 Attribution

Every data response includes an attribution array naming each source present in that result and the exact notice it requires. You must display those notices wherever you publish, display, or redistribute the data, and you must not remove or obscure them.

6.2 Source-specific conditions

• USDA NASS — you must display verbatim: "This product uses the NASS API but is not endorsed or certified by NASS."
• The World Bank (CC BY 4.0) — you must attribute the World Bank and impose this same attribution requirement on anyone you redistribute the data to. This obligation is viral: it travels with the data.
• US Census Bureau — you must display verbatim: "This product uses the Census Bureau Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau."
• Taiwan sources (OGDL-Taiwan 1.0) — attribution is mandatory; the licence is void from the outset if it is omitted.
• ECB, Bank of Canada, BIS, Banxico — where you charge for a product containing this data, you must inform your customers that the underlying data is available free of charge from the original source.
• Federal Reserve Bank of New York — three obligations travel with this data, and they are the strictest set here. You must reproduce the attribution exactly as served; you must not remove the citation stating that the data is available without charge from markets.newyorkfed.org; and if you redistribute it you must pass it on under these same permissions and may not impose more restrictive terms on it than these — that obligation is viral in the same way the World Bank's is. Separately, you must not use the New York Fed's name in advertising or as an endorsement of any product or service.
• Destatis, e-Stat (Japan), and other sources where we derive values — you must not present derived figures (for example import unit values) as unmodified official statistics; the responses state where figures were edited.

6.3 Derived and normalised data

Some series are derived (for example a unit value computed from a published value and quantity) or normalised across sources. These are labelled as such. You are responsible for reading the series metadata before relying on a figure.

7. Availability

We aim to keep the service available and the data fresh, but during the current phase we do not offer a contractual uptime or freshness service level. Data is collected from third-party sources on their publication schedules; if a source is late, revises, or withdraws data, the service reflects that.

8. Accuracy and disclaimers

The data is provided "as is". We normalise and check what we collect, but we do not originate the underlying statistics and cannot guarantee that they are accurate, complete, current, or fit for any particular purpose. Original sources revise their data, sometimes substantially.

Nothing in the service is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Do not rely on it as the sole basis for a financial decision. You are responsible for validating any figure before acting on it.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or business, arising from your use of or inability to use the service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

10. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these terms, non-payment, or use that threatens the integrity of the service. You may close your account at any time from the portal. On termination your right to access the data ends; obligations in section 6 continue to apply to data you have already received and still hold or publish.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be notified by email to the address on your account or announced in the portal. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.

12. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States.
