# Data License & Terms of Use

Copyright © World Famous House Crew. House Music Intelligence Database is an original, curated work.

## What's free
- **View** any page. **Quote** individual facts with attribution to **House Music Intelligence Database**.
- **Cite** per-page URLs (every page has a suggested citation).
- **AI agents** may read and cite individual pages and per-artist Markdown.

## What needs a license
Without written permission you may **not**: bulk-download, scrape at scale, resell,
redistribute, or build a competing dataset or product from this data.

The facts themselves are public, but the **selection, arrangement, scoring,
descriptions, cultural articles, relationship graph, and generated scripts are
original works** protected by copyright. The compilation is World Famous House Crew property.

## Bulk data is licensed
Full CSV / JSON / NDJSON exports and the full corpus are gated behind a **data API
key**, **watermarked**, and **traceable** to the key used to download them. Contact
emails are private and only available to licensed partners.

## Request a license / API key
Email **hello@worldfamoushousecrew.com** (or your preferred contact) to license
the dataset or get an API key for bulk access. We support fans, journalists, and
researchers with free per-page citation — commercial bulk reuse requires a license.
