The rules for using the index.

These terms govern access to the zeus creator index (the “Service”): a searchable network of creators discovered from public sources, including their handle, audience metrics, niche, country, and contact details. They form an agreement between zeus and the business that subscribes (“you”). If you subscribe on behalf of a company, you confirm you can bind it.

A separate data-sharing agreement governs the personal data you export. Where the two documents conflict on the handling of personal data, the data-sharing agreement controls.

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to search, filter, and export creator records for your own business use — finding and contacting creators to hire them. Your plan sets your seats and export limits. Everything not granted is reserved.

The following are prohibited. You will not:

• resell, redistribute, or sublicense the data, or build a competing database from it;
• re-identify, enrich, or combine records to reveal information beyond what we provide;
• use the data, in whole or part, to train or fine-tune any machine-learning model;
• scrape, crawl, or bulk-extract from the Service beyond your export limits;
• contact anyone on a suppression list we publish, or re-import a suppressed record;
• use the data for any purpose that is unlawful in the recipient's jurisdiction.

For the creator data you export, you and zeus are each an independent controller under data-protection law — not joint controllers, and zeus is not your processor. You decide the purposes and means of your own processing, and you are responsible for its lawfulness.

This means the law places obligations directly on you, not only on us. The most important ones are set out below.

Because neither you nor we collected this data from the creators directly, Article 14 of the GDPR requires that they be told their data is being processed — including who is processing it, why, and the source. When you take on records as a new controller, that duty is yours for your own processing, and it generally applies within one month, or at your first contact with the creator, whichever is first.

We supply the source (provenance) for each record so you can meet this duty. You agree to provide your own Article 14 notice within the required time.

You are responsible for having a lawful basis for your own processing, and for complying with the marketing and anti-spam laws that bind you when you contact creators. These are strict, and they bind you, not us:

• UK (PECR): most creator email addresses are personal addresses of sole traders, which count as individual subscribers. Unsolicited marketing email to them generally needs prior consent.
• EU (ePrivacy): rules vary by country; some (e.g. Germany) require opt-in even for business contacts.
• US (CAN-SPAM): no false headers, a clear opt-out honoured within ten business days, and a valid postal address.

You are solely responsible for your outreach. A creator's presence in the index is not consent to be contacted.

We honour opt-outs and maintain a suppression list. You agree to review it at least monthly, to scrub matching records from your systems, and never to re-import or contact a suppressed person. On request or on termination, you will delete the data and confirm you have done so — recognising that data already merged into your own systems is your responsibility to remove.

We exclude anyone we assess to be under 18 from sellable exports. Age is often inferred and may be wrong. If you have reason to believe a record concerns a minor, you will stop processing it and tell us.

We warrant that we have the right to provide the Service and that, to our knowledge, we collected the data in line with applicable law. We provide the data as is: we do not warrant that it is accurate, complete, or current, that a creator has consented to be contacted, or that your particular use of it will be lawful. You are responsible for verifying accuracy and legality for your use.

Fees, billing, and renewal are set in your order. We may suspend access for non-payment or for breach of these terms — in particular the restrictions in clause 3 or the suppression duty in clause 7. Either party may terminate for material breach that is not cured within a reasonable notice period.

Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss. Our total liability is capped at the fees you paid in the twelve months before the claim, except where the law does not allow that cap to apply. You indemnify us for claims arising from your use of the data, including your notice, lawful-basis, and anti-spam obligations.

We may update these terms on notice; changes take effect at your next renewal, and if you object you may decline to renew. Questions go to [email protected].
