Data Subscription Agreement

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 use the PEPIndex data it accesses — the free Snowflake Marketplace sample, the free API endpoints, or a paid REST API subscription at its tier — for internal business or research use, including evaluation of the full PEPIndex product (https://pepi.apiautomations.com).
2. Attribution. Public outputs that cite the PEPIndex must include the citation: PEPIndex Methodology v1.2.20, 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. What the index measures, the evidence it uses and how it is validated are documented on the methodology page and in the methodology overview (v1.2.20). Material methodology changes are versioned and logged on the changelog; the full methodology specification is available to customers and research partners on request.
6. Data lineage. Source attribution is preserved for every observation: citation keys and URLs for research sources, originating-document links on event source and timeline records, and an evidence-source label on every outcome.
7. Refresh cadence. Sources are ingested and the live index and event data refresh several times a day; the settled index is published daily; economic tables update with their agencies’ releases; the Snowflake sample refreshes daily. Source freshness and endpoint health are published on the status page.
8. Paid subscriptions. Standard and Premium API subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe at the prices on the pricing page, with the daily request limits stated there. Keys are issued on payment, stored hashed, and may be rotated or revoked on request.
9. Availability. PEPIndex — the website, the API, the Snowflake sample and paid subscriptions — is not offered in certain jurisdictions. Access from them is blocked, API requests from them are refused, and no subscription is issued for a billing address in them.
10. Political neutrality. PEPI measures a specific behavioral pattern (threat followed by reversal) and does not make normative judgments about the desirability of any policy.
11. Governing law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts-of-laws principles.
