These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of kpopscore.io (the "Service"), operated by Apollo Analytics LLC ("we", "us", "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Service is not directed at children under 13 years of age. By using the Service you represent that you are at least 13 years old.

KpopScore provides statistical rankings, comparisons, and analytics about musical artists and groups. Rankings are produced by combining data from multiple public and licensed sources and applying our proprietary scoring methodology, summarized on the "How It Works" page. Scores are derived analytics and may differ from numbers reported by any individual platform. The Service is currently provided free of charge; in the future we may offer paid tiers with additional features, governed by these Terms and any additional terms presented at the time of purchase.
KpopScore is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any artist, group, entertainment company, music platform, or chart. Artist names, group names, logos, and other trademarks referenced on the Service are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes under the doctrine of nominative fair use.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, or fitness of any score, ranking, event, or other information displayed on the Service. You should not rely on the Service for professional, commercial, or financial decisions without independent verification.
You agree not to: (a) scrape, crawl, or otherwise access the Service in an automated fashion except via any public API we offer; (b) interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure; (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any non-public area of the Service; (d) use the Service to violate any law; (e) reproduce, resell, or commercially redistribute scores or data obtained from the Service without our prior written consent; (f) misrepresent your identity in communications with us, including in DMCA or privacy-rights requests.
The Service's design, original text, scoring methodology, software, and the way data is selected, normalized, and combined to produce scores are proprietary to Apollo Analytics LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other applicable laws. You may not reproduce, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of these materials without our written permission, except for personal, non-commercial reference use.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apollo Analytics LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, even if advised of the possibility. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of these Terms will not exceed USD $100.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Apollo Analytics LLC from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your misuse of the Service or violation of these Terms.
