Data Subscription Agreement

PEPIndex Data Subscription Agreement v1.2.17 · August 2026

By accessing the PEPIndex dataset on Snowflake Marketplace, or the PEPIndex REST API, you agree to the following terms. This page is the canonical, full agreement.

1. License. Subscriber is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to query this free PEPIndex sample dataset for internal business or research use, including evaluation of the full PEPIndex product (REST API subscriptions at https://pepi.apiautomations.com).
2. Attribution. Public outputs that cite the PEPIndex must include the citation: PEPIndex Methodology Whitepaper v1.2.17, K. Sather, 2026.
3. No redistribution. Subscriber may not resell, sublicense, or publicly redistribute the underlying dataset. Derived analytical outputs (charts, reports, model inputs) are permitted with attribution.
4. No warranty. PEPI scores and underlying observations are provided “as-is.” The product is intended for research and analytical purposes; it is not investment advice, legal advice, or a regulatory filing.
5. Methodology transparency. Methodology, data sources, and scoring formulas are documented in the PEPIndex Methodology Whitepaper v1.2.17. Material methodology changes are versioned and logged in the whitepaper changelog.
6. Data lineage. Source attribution for every observation is preserved in the research_sources, event_sources, event_fr_matches, and event_timeline tables.
7. Refresh cadence. USITC DataWeb applied-rate ingest refreshes every 6 hours; all other tables refresh daily. Refresh failures are surfaced in index_daily.calculated_at.
8. Political neutrality. PEPI measures a specific behavioral pattern (threat followed by reversal) and does not make normative judgments about the desirability of any policy.
9. Governing law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts-of-laws principles.
