Data export. Exporting your own domain data in supported formats for backup, reporting, or compliance purposes.

The following activities are strictly prohibited when using the service:

Credential sharing. Sharing your Tidy Names account credentials with unauthorized parties or distributing API keys to third parties without authorization.

Abuse of service. Attempting to overload, disrupt, or interfere with the service or its infrastructure, including denial-of-service attacks, resource exhaustion, or deliberate exploitation of vulnerabilities.

We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations and to take appropriate action at our sole discretion. In cases of serious or repeated violations, access may be terminated without prior notice.
