1. Platform Nature and Permitted Use Cases

FlowScrape is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform designed for social media scheduling, multi-platform publishing, client workspace management, and market content discovery. FlowScrape provides tools for creators, marketing professionals, and digital agencies to:

• Connect and manage authorized social media accounts across supported networks (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Pinterest).
• Discover and research publicly accessible web content, RSS feeds, and public social trends for competitive analysis and creative inspiration.
• Organize, brainstorm, write original posts, and create multi-image carousels.
• Collaborate with agency team members and submit scheduled posts through structured approval workflows.
• Analyze available public engagement metrics (such as likes, shares, and comments) on their own authorized channels and public reference accounts.

2. Content Discovery, Trend Research & Platform Access Restrictions

Users may utilize FlowScrape's discovery tools to collect information only from publicly accessible web pages and supported data sources across the internet. All content discovery is strictly subject to:

• Applicable copyright, intellectual property, and fair use laws.
• Website access restrictions, robots.txt instructions, and terms of service of each respective source website.
• Third-party platform API terms and developer policies.
• Privacy regulations protecting personal identifiable information (PII).

Important: FlowScrape does not bypass paywalls, authentication walls, technical protection measures, or access controls. FlowScrape does not represent or warrant that all online content is freely available for commercial reuse.

3. Copyright Ownership & Republication Authorization

Discovering, monitoring, or researching publicly available content does NOT transfer intellectual property ownership or grant permission to republish, redistribute, or commercially exploit copyrighted material.

Users are strictly required to obtain all necessary rights, licenses, express consents, or written permissions from the copyright owner before publishing, scheduling, or distributing any text, images, videos, audio, or trademarks discovered via the platform.

Users must not use FlowScrape to copy verbatim protected creative works, create unauthorized derivative works, or infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties. FlowScrape strictly prohibits using its AI rephrasing or transformation tools to disguise or evade copyright infringement.
