Terms of Service

Effective: March 2026  ·  Version 1.4

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the CryptoIntel platform, including its news intelligence infrastructure, AI sentiment engine, REST API, market data feeds, enterprise licensing programmes, and all associated web interfaces. By accessing any part of the platform you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms in full.

01 Platform Description & Scope

CryptoIntel is a real-time cryptocurrency news intelligence platform aggregating content from 8+ RSS news sources, processing over 750+ digital asset market data points via CoinGecko, and applying a proprietary AI sentiment scoring pipeline to surface signal from noise. The platform comprises:

  • A public web application providing news feeds, trending analysis, AI sentiment dashboards, market tables, per-asset detail pages, and a personal watchlist.
  • A REST API (documented at /api-docs) providing programmatic access to news, sentiment scores, market data, and AI analysis endpoints.
  • An enterprise licensing tier offering white-label deployment, custom data feeds, dedicated infrastructure, and acquisition pathways.
  • Internal analytics, batch sentiment processing, and TradingView-integrated charting components.

02 Acceptance & Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering binding contracts to use the platform. Use by entities on OFAC, EU, UN, or other applicable sanctions lists is strictly prohibited. Enterprise clients and API licensees must complete the Request Access process at /request-access and receive written confirmation before accessing restricted tiers. Your continued use after any amendment to these terms constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

03 Not Financial or Investment Advice

All content on the CryptoIntel platform — including but not limited to news aggregation, AI-generated sentiment scores, trending analysis, market data, price charts, and per-asset summaries — is provided strictly for informational and research purposes. Nothing on this platform constitutes:

  • Financial, investment, trading, tax, or legal advice of any kind.
  • A solicitation, recommendation, or endorsement to buy, sell, or hold any digital asset or financial instrument.
  • A guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or future performance of any market data or AI sentiment output.

Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and speculative. Always conduct independent research and consult qualified financial and legal professionals before making any investment decisions.

04 API Access & Licensing

Access to the CryptoIntel REST API is subject to the tier limits specified in the API documentation. API keys are non-transferable and must not be shared, resold, or embedded in publicly accessible client-side code. Permitted uses include:

  • Internal application development, research tooling, and personal projects within rate limits.
  • Commercial use under a valid Enterprise or white-label licence agreement.
  • Integration into exchange platforms, trading terminals, and research products with explicit written consent.

Scraping, reverse engineering, or circumventing rate limits is prohibited and may result in immediate termination and legal action. Free-tier access is provided as-is with no SLA guarantees. Enterprise and paid tiers are governed by separate service level agreements.

05 Enterprise, White-Label & Acquisition

CryptoIntel is available for enterprise licensing, white-label deployment, and full platform acquisition. Enterprise engagements include custom-branded deployments of the news intelligence infrastructure, sentiment API feeds, and market data pipelines. Architecture details are available at /architecture and acquisition enquiries at /acquisition.

All enterprise, licensing, and acquisition engagements are subject to separate Master Service Agreements (MSA), Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA), and — where applicable — Share Purchase or Asset Transfer Agreements. Nothing in these public Terms of Service constitutes an offer to sell or transfer intellectual property. Enterprise pricing, SLAs, data retention, and support terms supersede these general terms where applicable.

06 Data Sources & Third-Party Content

News content is aggregated via publicly available RSS feeds from third-party publishers including CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, Decrypt, Bitcoin Magazine, NewsBTC, AMBCrypto, and Crypto Briefing. Market data is sourced from the CoinGecko public API. Chart data is rendered via TradingView widgets. Sentiment scores are generated by a proprietary AI pipeline and represent automated analysis only.

CryptoIntel does not claim ownership of third-party content. All news articles link to their original sources. Third-party data providers operate under their own terms and policies. We make no warranties as to the accuracy, latency, or completeness of any externally sourced data.

07 Compliance & Regulatory Obligations

CryptoIntel operates in compliance with applicable data protection legislation including GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA (California), and other relevant jurisdictions. Platform operators and API consumers are individually responsible for ensuring their use of CryptoIntel data and services complies with local laws and regulations in their operating territories.

Enterprise clients integrating CryptoIntel into regulated financial products — including trading platforms, asset management tools, or regulated exchanges — are solely responsible for obtaining all required regulatory approvals, licences, and compliance sign-offs. A dedicated compliance overview is available at /compliance.

08 Intellectual Property

The CryptoIntel platform, including its architecture, AI sentiment models, scoring algorithms, UI design, branding, and all proprietary source code, is the exclusive intellectual property of the platform owner. No part of the platform may be reproduced, distributed, sublicensed, or used to create derivative works without express written permission. The "CryptoIntel" name, logo, and associated marks are protected. API consumers are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access platform data within the scope of their agreed tier.

09 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CryptoIntel, its operators, affiliates, and licensors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages — including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or financial losses — arising from or related to your use of the platform, reliance on any AI sentiment output or market data, API downtime, third-party data inaccuracies, or any platform acquisition or enterprise licensing engagement. Total liability in any event shall not exceed the fees paid by you to CryptoIntel in the twelve months preceding the claim.

10 Governing Law & Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms or the platform shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland, unless otherwise agreed in a separate enterprise or licensing agreement. Enterprise disputes are subject to the dispute resolution mechanism set out in the applicable MSA.

11 Modifications & Termination

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the platform at any time without notice. These terms may be updated at any time; the "Effective" date above reflects the current version. Continued use of the platform following any amendment constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We may terminate or restrict your access for breach of these terms, misuse of the API, or any activity determined to be harmful to the platform or its users.
