No portion of the written content may be reproduced, distributed, republished, or used in training data for AI systems without express written permission from Raastey.

Press and media inquiries seeking to quote or reference Raastey content should contact hello@raastey.co for authorization. Attribution alone does not constitute authorization.

Use any Raastey trademark in a way that implies endorsement, partnership, or affiliation without written authorization

5. Data and Intelligence Content

Protected as trade secrets under the Defend Trade Secrets Act where applicable
Subject to each venture's individual terms of service and access agreements

Unauthorized scraping, replication, or redistribution of data or intelligence content from any Raastey venture platform constitutes misappropriation of trade secrets and copyright infringement and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of applicable law.

Web crawlers operated by AI companies or research institutions
Dataset aggregators that compile web content for model training
Any automated system that ingests Raastey content for purposes beyond rendering to a human end-user

This prohibition is asserted under the Terms of Service, copyright law, and the emerging principle of opt-out rights for AI training recognized in several jurisdictions. Violations will be treated as copyright infringement and/or breach of contract.
