• Run website schema scans on domains you own or have explicit permission to scan
• Integrate Osapher Sovereign Lock tokens into your own web properties via our script tag or WordPress plugin
• Use the platform API for legitimate business automation within your allocated rate limits

3. Prohibited Uses

You must not use the Osapher platform to:

• Impersonate or misrepresent: Submit business identity information for entities you do not own or control, or claim authorisation you do not have
• Scan without permission: Initiate scans on domains or web properties you do not own or have not been explicitly authorised to scan
• Abuse the infrastructure: Send automated requests beyond documented rate limits, conduct denial-of-service attacks, or attempt to overload our systems
• Bypass security controls: Attempt to circumvent authentication, access other users' data, or probe for security vulnerabilities without our written consent
• Distribute malicious content: Use your Sovereign Lock token or schema payload to inject harmful scripts, malware, or deceptive content into third-party websites

4. API and Automation

Automated use of the Osapher API is permitted within your plan's rate limits. Scraping, bulk harvesting, or systematic extraction of data beyond your authorised usage is prohibited. We reserve the right to rate-limit or block requests that threaten platform stability.
