Terms of use

Licence, limits, and no warranty

Short version: the data is yours to use if you credit it, nothing here is guaranteed to be right or current, none of it is professional advice, and there are published export files so you do not have to scrape the pages.

1. Licence

The structured dataset and the text written by ClickFixReport are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. You may copy it, redistribute it, transform it and use it commercially, as long as you give credit, link back, and indicate whether you changed anything.

The licence covers our material only. The reports we link to belong to their publishers and are governed by their own terms; a link from here grants you nothing in respect of them.

2. No warranty

The site and its data are provided as is and as available, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of accuracy, completeness, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Entries are dated observations from third-party reports and may be incomplete, superseded or wrong; the disclaimer explains exactly what an entry does and does not assert.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of this site or its data — including decisions to block, allow, investigate or ignore anything on the basis of it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

3. Not advice

Nothing on this site is legal advice, professional incident-response advice, or a substitute for either. The help pages describe what people generally do after pasting a command into a terminal; they cannot see your machine, your network, or your obligations. If something serious has happened, get help from someone who can.

4. Automated access

There are published, versioned export files at /export precisely so nobody has to scrape HTML. They are complete, they are cheaper for you to consume, and their shape does not change within a version. Use them.

• Fetch an export at most once an hour. They are rebuilt on a schedule; polling faster returns you the same bytes.
• The API is rate limited. Stay under 60 requests a minute and you will never notice it exists.
• Send a User-Agent that identifies you and includes a way to reach you. If something you run causes a problem, we would rather email you than block you.
• Do not bulk-crawl the site to reconstruct a dataset that is already published as a file, and do not redistribute our data as your own compilation without the attribution the licence requires.

We may rate limit, cache aggressively, or block traffic that degrades the site for other people. That is an operational measure, not a penalty, and asking nicely usually resolves it.

5. Changes to the record

We may correct, suppress or remove any entry at any time, and we do so whenever the evidence supports it. Corrections that change what a page asserts are logged publicly on /corrections. URLs are intended to be permanent; where a record is merged into another, the old address redirects rather than disappearing.

6. Reporting a security issue

If you find a vulnerability in this site, report it to security@clickfixreport.com. Please include enough detail to reproduce it. In return:

• We acknowledge within five working days.
• We will not pursue legal action over good-faith research that stays within the rules below, and we are happy to credit you if you want the credit.
• Please do not run automated scanners at volume, access or modify data that is not yours, or test in a way that degrades the site for other people. There is no bug bounty; this is a self-funded project.

This section is the policy referenced by our security.txt.

7. General

These terms may change; the review date below records when they last did. If you think something here is unfair or unclear, say so at hello@clickfixreport.com — this is a small project run by one person, and most disagreements are settled by an email rather than by a clause.
