Data & API License Schedule

Effective 2026-10-03 · Version 2026-10-03

What changed in this version

  • Valuein Data may not be given or shown to a sanctioned or restricted person, place or end use (§2).
  • Anyone you pass Valuein Data on to must be screened and bound in writing to the same restriction, which they pass on in turn.
  • Nothing else changed: rights by Plan, caching and deletion are as in the version of October 1, 2026.

This Schedule is part of the Terms of Service. It replaces the Data License Agreement dated September 17, 2026.

In short:

  • Allowed on every Plan: use Valuein Data for your own work, quote a few figures with credit, and keep whatever you build from it.
  • Needs a Commercial Agreement: showing Valuein Data to others, passing it on, and training models others will use.
  • Prices (Market Data): licensed to us by vendors, so your rights in them are narrower.
  • When you leave: delete raw copies within 30 days.

1.Definitions

  • "Cached Data" — any copy of Valuein Data stored outside the Service, including files, databases, dataframes, vector stores, caches and model contexts.
  • "Derived Work" — output you create from Valuein Data that does not let a recipient reconstruct a substantial part of Valuein Data. Examples include:
    • research results, conclusions and written analysis;
    • model specifications, features, parameters and trained weights;
    • signals, scores, factor values and rankings you compute;
    • backtest results and performance statistics;
    • risk and attribution reports;
    • audit and validation records;
    • charts of your own derived metrics;
    • investment decisions and their outcomes.
  • "Display" — showing Valuein Data to anyone who does not hold a Seat, in any medium, including a website, app, dashboard, report, presentation, feed or AI-agent response.
  • "EDGAR-Derived Data" — Valuein Data derived from filings on the SEC's EDGAR system, together with Valuein's selection, arrangement, standardisation, mappings and calculations applied to them.
  • "Insubstantial Excerpt" — a limited number of individual EDGAR-Derived Data values that meets all of these conditions:
    • no more than 50 values in any one work;
    • quoted within your own analysis or commentary;
    • attributed "Source: Valuein (valuein.biz)";
    • not a substitute for the Service;
    • cannot reasonably be used to reconstruct any table, time series or dataset.

Market Data is never an Insubstantial Excerpt (see §7).

  • "Internal Use" — use by a Seat holder for that Seat holder's own research, analysis, models, investment decisions and internal work product. This includes work for an organisation that employs the Seat holder, if every person who sees Valuein Data holds a Seat.
  • "Market Data" — historical security price, volume and related trading records licensed to Valuein by third-party vendors, and any field computed from them.
  • "Model Training" — training, fine-tuning, pre-training or distilling a model, or creating embeddings, vector stores, or evaluation or benchmark datasets, from Valuein Data, for:
    • any general-purpose model; or
    • any model or system that is made available to third parties or that substitutes for the Service.
  • "Redistribution" — giving, selling, licensing or otherwise making Valuein Data or Service responses available to any third party, in any form, including through an API, file, feed, database, model or AI agent.

Other capitalised terms are defined in the Terms.

2.Licence grant

While your Plan is active and you comply with the Terms, Valuein grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access the Service and use Valuein Data within the rights for your Plan in §3. All other rights are reserved. Valuein's rights in EDGAR-Derived Data are limited to what §9 describes.

Export controls and sanctions. The licence does not extend to a Restricted Party, to anyone in a place described in Terms §27.2(a), or to a use described in Terms §27.2(c), and you may not give or show Valuein Data (including Cached Data) to any of them. Whenever you pass Valuein Data on, as a Commercial Agreement or this Schedule allows, you will first screen the recipient as Terms §27.4 requires. You will also bind the recipient in writing to this restriction and to the same screening and flow-down duty, so that it passes on to each further recipient. You remain responsible for any recipient's breach.

Seats and Agents. Every person who sees Valuein Data under Internal Use holds a Seat. Agents may act only for the single human Seat holder who controls them (Terms §5).

Institutional transition. Institutional subscribers on a paid term that began before October 1, 2026 keep, until that term ends, the client-deliverable and white-label rights in the previous Data License Agreement (Permitted Uses — Institutional, and Redistribution License), subject to its conditions. Those rights do not renew. After that term, outward use needs a Commercial Agreement.

Commercial Agreement. To show Valuein Data to clients, power a product, feed or dashboard for others, or train a model others will use, contact legal@valuein.biz.

4.What you may always do

Every Plan may:

  • Work locally. Download, cache and query Valuein Data locally while your Plan is active, including as Parquet, Arrow, DuckDB or a dataframe, for your own point-in-time research, backtests and AI-assisted analysis. This is the intended way to use the data, not a tolerated exception.
  • Build your own models. Research, train, validate, backtest and run your own quantitative, factor, risk and machine-learning models and strategies on Valuein Data for Internal Use, and act on their outputs, including to manage your own or your clients' money. You may not distribute the Valuein Data inside them.
  • Use AI at query time. Let the Workspace AI Features, or your own AI model through the MCP Server or SDK, read Valuein Data at query time to answer your questions. That is not Model Training.
  • Quote. Publish Insubstantial Excerpts with attribution.
  • Keep your Derived Work. Own, keep, publish and commercialise your Derived Work, forever, including after your Plan ends. Published Derived Work in which Valuein is a material source credits "Source: Valuein (valuein.biz)".

5.What needs a Commercial Agreement

Unless a Commercial Agreement expressly allows it, you may not:

  • (a) Display Valuein Data beyond Insubstantial Excerpts;
  • (b) Redistribute Valuein Data, including through an API, feed, file, database, application, dashboard, AI agent or dataset offered to others;
  • (c) carry out Model Training;
  • (d) use Valuein Data as a primary or substantial input to an index, benchmark or investable product;
  • (e) use Valuein Data to build or improve a financial-data aggregation, normalisation or distribution product that competes with the Service;
  • (f) keep Cached Data after the period in §8.

6.Attribution

Where you publish Insubstantial Excerpts or Derived Work in which Valuein is a material source, credit "Source: Valuein (valuein.biz)" where readers will see it:

  • Reports: in a footnote or the data-sources section.
  • Dashboards and apps: in a visible footer or an "About the data" panel.
  • Social posts: in the post itself.
  • Academic work: in the references, with the date you accessed the data.

7.Market Data

7.1 Different in kind. Market Data is not derived from SEC filings and is not public-domain material. It is licensed to Valuein by third-party vendors. We claim no rights in the raw price series themselves.

7.2 Your rights depend on our upstream licence. You receive Market Data only to the extent Valuein's upstream licence permits. Within that limit, Pro and Institutional subscribers may use Market Data for Internal Use, including research, modelling and backtesting. On Sample and Benchmark, you receive only measures derived from Market Data, such as valuation multiples, and coarse period-end and month-end observations.

7.3 No reproduction. You may not Display, Redistribute or reproduce Market Data, or build a price feed, price-history service or price dataset from it, on any Plan. You may publish conclusions that do not reproduce a price series. A Commercial Agreement can grant more only if the vendor has cleared it.

7.4 Not for execution or valuation of record. Market Data is indicative, not real-time, and not an official exchange feed. Do not use it for trade execution, order routing, client statements, NAV, valuations of record, margin, or regulatory filings. Exchange and vendor obligations that apply to your own use are your responsibility.

7.5 Change. If an upstream licence requires it, we may restrict or withdraw Market Data for some or all Plans, with as much notice as that licence allows. EDGAR-Derived Data is not affected.

8.Caching, retention and deletion

8.1 While active. You may keep Cached Data while your Plan is active. Do not use it to keep a persistent mirror for anyone other than your Seat holders.

8.2 After your Plan ends. Within 30 days after your paid Plan ends, or after your Account ends, whichever comes first, you will either delete the Cached Data you obtained under that Plan or permanently stop accessing it. That includes downloaded Parquet files, databases built from them, and vector stores. You may keep it longer only to comply with a legal or regulatory record-keeping duty, and only for that purpose. If you move to a free Plan, you may keep Cached Data within that free Plan's coverage.

8.3 Certification. On request, you will confirm in writing within 10 business days that you have complied with §8.2.

8.4 What you keep. Your Derived Work. It is not Cached Data, even if it was built from Cached Data.

8.5 Display after the end. A chart or report created from Valuein Data during your Plan may continue to exist as Derived Work, or under any transition right in §3. You may not refresh it with Valuein Data obtained after your Plan ends.

9.What Valuein claims, and what it does not

9.1 Public filings. Filings on SEC EDGAR are public. Anyone may obtain them directly from the SEC. This Schedule does not restrict your independent use of filings or facts you obtain from the SEC or other lawful sources.

9.2 Our compilation and work. We claim rights in:

  • the selection, arrangement and coordination of Valuein Data;
  • our standardisation, taxonomy and concept mappings;
  • point-in-time timestamps design, amendment and restatement tracking;
  • quarterly derivations;
  • entity and security-identifier mappings with validity windows;
  • provenance hashes;
  • validation rules;
  • schemas, software and Documentation.

We also claim trade-secret protection for our non-public methods.

9.3 What the restrictions protect. The restrictions in this Schedule govern your access to the Service and your use of what you obtain through it. They are a condition of that access and its technical measures. They do not claim ownership of facts.

9.4 Identifiers and marks.

  • Security identifiers: our security reference data uses FIGI, an open standard (OpenFIGI, MIT licence). We do not publish CUSIP, CINS or ISIN values. If you need those, licence them from their administrators.
  • Index membership: our index-membership records are our own derivation from public sources. No index provider sponsors, endorses or licenses them.

10.Technical measures and envelope identifiers

10.1 What we use. Access to Valuein Data is protected by authentication, Credentials tied to one Account, rate limits, quotas and download controls.

10.2 Envelope identifiers. Authenticated responses, and files delivered through the Bulk API gateway, may carry a per-account envelope identifier in response headers or file metadata. It is a non-numeric code derived from your Account, the dataset and the period, used to trace copies of Valuein Data. It never changes a data value, a row or row order.

10.3 Do not interfere. Do not remove, alter or obscure envelope identifiers, attribution metadata or technical measures in Valuein Data you hold or share.

11.Point-in-time methodology and accuracy

11.1 Acceptance timestamps. Every fact carries accepted_at, the time the SEC's EDGAR system accepted the filing that reported it. It is the SEC's timestamp, not our processing time, and we never change it after recording. Filtering on accepted_at reconstructs what had been filed by a given moment.

11.2 Amendments and restatements. When an issuer amends or restates a value, we do not overwrite the earlier record. Each value keeps the acceptance time of the filing that reported it. We carry the as-first-filed value and the latest value side by side.

11.3 Coverage.

  • Pro and Institutional: include delisted, bankrupt and merged companies.
  • Sample and Benchmark: cover the current members of their index universe, within each Plan's history window, as the pricing page describes. They do not include companies that have left the index, so they are not survivorship-free and are not suited to historical backtests of an index universe.

11.4 Reprocessing. We may reprocess historical data to correct our own extraction or derivation. Reprocessing creates a new snapshot. It is not an issuer restatement and never changes an acceptance timestamp. We announce material reprocessing publicly, for example in the changelog.

11.5 No warranty of accuracy. We do not warrant that Valuein Data is free of errors. Filings themselves can be wrong. Verify any figure that matters to an investment, trading, regulatory, tax or business decision against the original filing on EDGAR (Terms §19).

12.Compliance checks and remedies

12.1 Compliance checks. On reasonable written request, and no more than once in any 12 months unless we have reasonable grounds to suspect a breach, you will tell us in writing how you use Valuein Data and confirm your compliance with this Schedule. Audits of records and systems apply only under a Commercial Agreement.

12.2 If you exceed your rights. If you Display, Redistribute or carry out Model Training without a Commercial Agreement:

  • you will stop immediately;
  • you will pay the Commercial Agreement fees that would have applied for the period of the unlicensed use, at our then-current rates;
  • if you are a Business User, you will reimburse our reasonable costs of investigating and enforcing, including reasonable legal fees.

12.3 Injunctions. Unlicensed Display, Redistribution or Model Training, or circumventing technical measures, may cause harm that money cannot fully repair. We may seek an injunction in court under Terms §24.3(b), without posting a bond where the court permits. This is in addition to suspension or termination under Terms §22.

13.Changes

Changes to this Schedule follow Terms §23.2: 30 days' notice and re-acceptance for material changes. Changes never apply retroactively.
