Automated Access and Data Use Policy
Effective Date: Aug 17, 2026
Last Updated: Aug 18, 2026
Important Compliance Notice
We do not authorize automated, systematic, programmatic, repetitive, or bulk access to, collection of, extraction of, analysis of, or use of information from this Site. Such activities are prohibited.
We do not grant permission for such activities.
No person, company, organization, service provider, contractor, data provider, artificial intelligence system, agent, or other third party is authorized by us to engage in such activities.
Organizations and their employees, contractors, vendors, data providers, service providers, and other third parties must ensure that their systems and data-acquisition practices do not access, collect, extract, analyze, or use information from this Site in violation of this Policy.
This prohibition also applies where information originating from the Site is obtained indirectly through a third-party scraper, crawler, data provider, contractor, vendor, service, platform, artificial intelligence system, agent, or other intermediary.
Public accessibility does not constitute permission. Technical accessibility does not constitute permission. The absence of blocking does not constitute permission.
This Policy provides clear notice of our conditions regarding automated access, information collection, extraction, analysis, storage, and use. Organizations are expected to ensure that their systems, personnel, contractors, vendors, and service providers comply with these restrictions.
1. General Principle
The Site is made available primarily for ordinary human browsing and for use in the manner intended by us.
Automated, mechanical, systematic, repetitive, programmatic, or bulk access to, acquisition of, collection of, extraction of, analysis of, copying of, or storage of information from the Site is prohibited.
The fact that the Site or any information on the Site is publicly accessible on the Internet does not constitute permission, consent, authorization, or the grant of any right to access, collect, extract, analyze, store, reproduce, or use such information by automated or systematic means.
2. Automated Access
You may not use any program, script, bot, crawler, scraper, spider, headless browser, browser automation tool, robotic process automation technology, artificial intelligence system, agent, or any other automated or semi-automated technology or method to access the Site.
This prohibition applies regardless of the particular software, programming language, library, framework, service, platform, device, infrastructure, or technical method used.
Methods that automate, simulate, reproduce, or imitate human browsing or interaction are also subject to this prohibition.
3. Automated Requests
You may not automatically, mechanically, systematically, programmatically, or repetitively generate or send HTTP requests or other communications to the Site or our servers for the purpose of obtaining, monitoring, extracting, analyzing, or collecting information.
This prohibition applies even where request frequency, timing, intervals, patterns, headers, sessions, or other characteristics are modified, randomized, throttled, delayed, distributed, or otherwise designed to resemble ordinary human browsing or to avoid detection, restriction, or access controls.
4. Crawling and Automated Discovery
You may not use URLs, hyperlinks, page structures, sitemaps, navigation elements, pagination, identifiers, endpoints, or other information available through or relating to the Site to automatically discover, crawl, traverse, enumerate, follow, or retrieve pages or resources.
5. Data Extraction and Analysis
You may not use automated or mechanical methods to parse, analyze, process, extract, transform, or derive information from HTML, XML, JSON, structured data, response data, DOM structures, metadata, network responses, or any other information obtained from or through the Site.
This includes extracting particular fields, attributes, text, prices, product information, availability information, images, links, identifiers, descriptions, specifications, metadata, or other data, regardless of the selector, parser, extraction method, programming language, library, framework, artificial intelligence system, or other technology used.
6. Systematic, Repetitive, or Distributed Collection
You may not automatically, repetitively, continuously, systematically, or programmatically collect information from the Site, regardless of the amount of information obtained in any individual request or session.
This prohibition includes collection performed slowly, intermittently, over an extended period, across multiple sessions, accounts, systems, networks, devices, infrastructure providers, contractors, or access points where such activity forms part of the same or a related data-collection activity.
Dividing a collection process into smaller requests or reducing the frequency of requests does not remove the activity from the scope of this Policy.
7. Storage, Databases, and Datasets
Information obtained from the Site through prohibited automated or systematic means may not be stored, accumulated, indexed, organized, classified, normalized, combined, enriched, transformed, structured, embedded, vectorized, or maintained in a database, dataset, spreadsheet, file, search index, repository, knowledge base, vector database, model input corpus, or other collection of information.
8. Prohibited Uses of Collected Information
Information obtained from the Site through automated, mechanical, systematic, or programmatic means may not be used for the development, operation, provision, enhancement, evaluation, or support of any product, service, application, website, database, platform, model, system, or commercial activity.
Prohibited uses include, without limitation:
- market research or market analysis;
- competitive research or competitive analysis;
- price, product, service, inventory, or availability monitoring or comparison;
- commercial intelligence;
- sales, marketing, prospecting, or lead generation;
- data analytics or statistical analysis;
- search, aggregation, indexing, or information services;
- development, enrichment, or maintenance of databases, datasets, or knowledge bases;
- machine learning;
- training, pre-training, fine-tuning, distillation, evaluation, testing, validation, benchmarking, or improvement of machine-learning or artificial-intelligence systems;
- retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), retrieval, grounding, embeddings, vectorization, or indexing for artificial-intelligence systems;
- generation of synthetic data derived from or materially based upon information obtained from the Site;
- development or operation of artificial-intelligence agents or automated services that retrieve or use Site information; and
- any other commercial exploitation of information obtained from the Site.
9. Distribution and Third-Party Use
Information obtained from the Site through prohibited automated or systematic means may not be sold, licensed, sublicensed, transferred, transmitted, published, reproduced, redistributed, disclosed, supplied, incorporated into another product or service, or otherwise provided or made available for the benefit or use of any third party.
10. Technical Restrictions and Access Controls
You must comply with technical measures and machine-readable instructions that we use to manage, restrict, or communicate conditions regarding automated access or information collection, including access controls, rate limits, authentication requirements, CAPTCHAs, robots.txt directives, robots meta tags, HTTP headers, firewall or security rules, and other technical measures.
You may not bypass, circumvent, disable, interfere with, evade, or attempt to defeat such measures.
The absence of a particular technical restriction or the technical ability to access information does not constitute permission or authorization to engage in conduct prohibited by this Policy.
11. Circumvention and Concealment
You may not attempt to avoid detection, restriction, rate limiting, attribution, investigation, or blocking by changing, disguising, rotating, distributing, or otherwise manipulating access methods, infrastructure, or identifying information.
This includes the use or rotation of IP addresses, proxies, VPNs, cloud infrastructure, hosting services, networks, devices, accounts, sessions, cookies, User-Agent strings, request headers, browser fingerprints, or other identifiers or access points for the purpose of continuing, concealing, or facilitating activity prohibited by this Policy.
12. Access Following Restriction, Blocking, or Notice
The activities prohibited by this Policy are prohibited from the outset and do not become prohibited only after we restrict or block access or provide individual notice.
If we restrict or block access, or provide notice regarding conduct already prohibited by this Policy, such restriction, blocking, or notice constitutes an additional confirmation of the prohibition and does not imply that the conduct was previously permitted.
Following any such restriction, blocking, or notice, the prohibited activity must not be continued, resumed, redirected, or recommenced by any means.
Changing the source of access, technical method, infrastructure, software, account, network, IP address, proxy, service provider, contractor, intermediary, affiliate, or other means of access does not permit the continuation or resumption of the prohibited activity.
13. Collection Through Third Parties
You may not cause, instruct, commission, procure, facilitate, assist, or engage any third party to perform conduct that would be prohibited under this Policy if performed directly by you.
You may not use a third-party scraping, crawling, data-collection, proxy, automation, artificial-intelligence, data-brokerage, research, or similar service to obtain information from the Site in a manner prohibited by this Policy.
14. Publicly Accessible Information
The fact that information is displayed without login, authentication, payment, CAPTCHA, or another technical access restriction does not mean that we authorize automated, systematic, repetitive, programmatic, or bulk acquisition, extraction, collection, analysis, storage, reproduction, or secondary use of that information.
Public accessibility is not authorization for automated collection or reuse.
15. No Authorization
We do not grant permission for the activities prohibited by this Policy.
No person, company, organization, service provider, contractor, data provider, artificial intelligence system, agent, or other third party is authorized by us to engage in such activities.
The fact that automated access is technically possible, that a request receives a successful response, that information can be viewed in a web browser, or that we have not immediately detected, restricted, objected to, or blocked particular activity does not constitute authorization, consent, permission, waiver, acquiescence, or approval.
16. Enforcement, Access Logs, Investigation, and Evidence Preservation
We may implement reasonable technical, operational, administrative, and security measures to detect, investigate, prevent, restrict, attribute, document, or respond to conduct that violates or may violate this Policy.
For purposes including Site security, prevention of misuse, enforcement of this Policy, investigation of suspected violations, protection of our rights and legitimate interests, and preservation of evidence, we may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, record, retain, review, analyze, and correlate technical information relating to access to the Site.
Such information may include IP addresses, timestamps, requested URLs and resources, request frequency and patterns, HTTP headers, User-Agent information, referrer information, session or cookie identifiers, network and connection information, server and security logs, and other technical information generated in connection with access to the Site.
Where we reasonably suspect a violation of this Policy, we may preserve relevant records and investigate relationships between access events, systems, networks, accounts, organizations, identifiers, infrastructure, and other technical information.
Where reasonably necessary to investigate, enforce, establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights, we may provide relevant information to our attorneys, legal advisers, cybersecurity professionals, forensic specialists, hosting or infrastructure providers, or other professional advisers and service providers, subject to applicable law.
We may also preserve, use, disclose, or submit relevant records in connection with legal proceedings, regulatory or law-enforcement requests, court orders, dispute resolution, claims, or other lawful processes where permitted or required by applicable law.
Our handling of personal information under this Section is subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy.
17. Information Obtained in Violation of This Policy
Where information has been obtained, stored, processed, distributed, or used in violation of this Policy, we may, to the extent available under applicable law and the applicable legal relationship, require cessation of further collection, processing, distribution, or use and seek deletion, return, destruction, or other appropriate treatment of the information, copies, databases, datasets, embeddings, indexes, derived materials, or other materials created through or resulting from the prohibited activity.
18. Enforcement and Remedies
We may take reasonable technical, operational, contractual, administrative, or legal measures in response to an actual or suspected violation of this Policy, including restricting, suspending, or blocking access and preserving relevant evidence.
Where a violation causes loss, damage, expense, unauthorized use, or other legally recoverable harm, we reserve the right to pursue remedies available to us under applicable law.
Nothing in this Policy limits any rights or remedies otherwise available to us.
19. No Implied Waiver
A failure or delay by us in detecting, preventing, restricting, objecting to, or taking action regarding any activity does not constitute consent to that activity or a waiver of this Policy or any rights or remedies available to us.
The ability to access the Site on one or more occasions does not establish permission for continued, repeated, systematic, or future access.
20. Collection, Receipt, or Use Through Data Providers
Companies and organizations must not assume that data originating from this Site is authorized for use merely because it is supplied, sold, licensed, transferred, aggregated, or otherwise made available by a third party.
The fact that a third party has collected, supplied, sold, licensed, aggregated, or otherwise made data originating from the Site available does not constitute authorization, permission, consent, waiver, or approval by us.
Organizations receiving data from third parties are expected to maintain appropriate legal, compliance, technical, procurement, and vendor-management controls to avoid acquiring or using information from this Site in a manner prohibited by this Policy.
21. Relationship to Other Terms
This Policy supplements our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and other applicable terms or policies governing the Site.
Nothing in this Policy limits any obligations, restrictions, rights, or remedies that otherwise apply under our Terms of Service, other applicable policies, or applicable law.
22. Changes to This Policy
We may modify this Policy from time to time.
The version published on the Site will identify its effective date or most recent update date.
Any modification to this Policy does not constitute permission for conduct prohibited under an earlier or later version of this Policy.
