We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of any changes.

OSINT Library is a directory platform that catalogs open source intelligence (OSINT) tools. The Service helps investigators and researchers discover tools based on their data inputs and desired outputs. The Service includes a public website, user accounts, and a public API.

To access certain features of the Service, you may need to create an account. When creating an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information
• Maintain the security of your password and any two-factor authentication credentials
• Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are used for unauthorized purposes.

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable laws or regulations
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or systems
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers connected to it
• Submit false, misleading, or spam content (including tool suggestions and reviews)
• Scrape, crawl, or harvest data from the Service in a manner that circumvents rate limits or the API
• Use the Service to facilitate illegal surveillance, stalking, harassment, or any activity that violates the rights of others
• Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely represent your affiliation

The OSINT Library API is provided for programmatic access to tool data. By using the API, you agree to the following:

• Rate limits — API requests are subject to rate limiting. Exceeding rate limits may result in temporary or permanent suspension of your API access.
• API keys — You are responsible for keeping your API keys secure. Do not share your API keys publicly or embed them in client-side code.
• Fair use — The API is intended for reasonable use. Excessive automated requests that degrade Service performance may result in throttling or suspension.
• Attribution — If you display data obtained from the API, we request (but do not require) attribution to OSINT Library.

We reserve the right to modify, restrict, or discontinue API access at any time without prior notice.

6.1 User-Submitted Content

Users may submit tool suggestions, reviews, ratings, and reports. By submitting content, you grant OSINT Library a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute that content in connection with the Service. You represent that you have the right to submit such content and that it does not infringe on any third-party rights.

6.2 Tool Listings

Tool listings on the Service are provided for informational purposes only. OSINT Library does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the accuracy, legality, or safety of any listed tool. The inclusion of a tool in our directory does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation.

6.3 Content Moderation

We reserve the right to review, edit, or remove any user-submitted content at our sole discretion, particularly content that is inaccurate, offensive, or violates these Terms.

The Service, including its design, layout, code, and original content, is owned by OSINT Library and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service without our express written consent.

Tool names, logos, and descriptions belong to their respective owners. OSINT Library claims no ownership over third-party tools listed in the directory.

OSINT tools listed on this platform may have their own terms, licenses, and legal requirements. It is your responsibility to review and comply with those terms before using any listed tool. Always ensure your use of OSINT tools complies with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, OSINT Library and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from:

• Your use of or inability to use the Service
• Any tools listed on the Service, including their availability, accuracy, or legality
• Unauthorized access to or alteration of your data
• Any third-party conduct on the Service

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, for any reason, including breach of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as limitations of liability and intellectual property rights) shall survive.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation before pursuing formal legal proceedings.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
