Terms of Service

Last updated July 18, 2026

1. Agreement to terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of Sputnik Intelligence's website, API, MCP server, and related services (the "Service"), operated by Sputnik Intelligence ("we", "us", "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

2. The Service

Sputnik Intelligence indexes publicly available newsletter and podcast content and provides search, alerting, and monitoring tools over that corpus via a web interface, an API, and an MCP server for AI agents. We may add, change, or remove features at any time.

3. Accounts and access

Some parts of the Service require an account or API credentials. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to violate any law or the rights of any third party.
  • Attempt to circumvent rate limits, access controls, or authentication.
  • Resell or redistribute bulk exports of the corpus without our written permission.
  • Use the Service to harass, defame, or send unsolicited communications based on data obtained through it.
  • Interfere with the normal operation of the Service, including through excessive automated requests.

5. Content and third-party sources

The Service indexes content originally published by third parties (newsletter writers, podcast hosts, and their platforms). We do not endorse and are not responsible for that content. Rights to the underlying content remain with its original publishers. If you are a publisher and want content removed from the corpus, contact us at [email protected].

6. Subscriptions and fees

Paid plans are billed as described at the time of purchase. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as we expressly state. We may change pricing for future billing periods with reasonable notice.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and aggregated data products, is owned by Sputnik Intelligence and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not guarantee that the corpus is complete or error-free.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sputnik Intelligence will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising from your use of the Service.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service, with or without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or that we believe is harmful to other users, third parties, or the Service itself. You may stop using the Service at any time.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
