# Terms of use

Last updated 27 October 2026.

## Using the site

By using equitycapital.markets, its API or its MCP server you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the service.

## Reusing the data

Our compilation — the selection of filings, labels, statuses and statistics — is licensed under [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Credit “equitycapital.markets, data from the U.S. SEC” and link to the site where you can. The underlying filings are public information published by the SEC.

## API and MCP fair use

- Both are free and need no key. Data changes once a day, so please cache responses.

- The JSON API is limited to 60 requests per minute per IP address; above that it answers HTTP 429 for a few seconds. AI assistants reach the MCP server from shared addresses, so it has no fixed limit, but we may limit or block any traffic that degrades the service for others.

- Endpoints are versioned (`/api/v1/`). We aim to announce breaking changes in the [changelog](https://equitycapital.markets/changelog) before they happen. There is no uptime guarantee.

## Please do not

- present the data as an official SEC product or suggest that the SEC endorses your use of it;

- remove the attribution when you republish the data;

- try to disrupt, overload or break into the service.

## No warranty, limited liability

The service is provided as it is, without warranties. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for decisions made on the basis of the data. See the [disclaimer](https://equitycapital.markets/disclaimer).

## Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the current version and the [changelog](https://equitycapital.markets/changelog) records changes. Questions: [office@equitycapital.markets](mailto:office@equitycapital.markets).
