Attention to everyone who currently uses, plans on using, free versions, pay versions, pays for, or plans on paying for IPO alert tools, or any other tool that does not use OneSeason’s API keys. The OneSeasonNation has just been informed that these tools are not authorized by OneSeason, and may be against the Terms of Service.
From OneSeason
We provide access to certain features and functionality to our site through the API. Tool created by 3rd parties that do not utilize the API feeds have not been authorized by OneSeason, may not function accurately or as intended and could be shutdown or rendered useless at any time.
The question was then directly asked if these tools violate OneSeason’s Terms of Service. The answer was
It seems such a tool may fall under Section 6 (L.)
Here is section 6 (L) of OneSeason’s Terms and Conditions.
Attempt to access, search or meta-search the Site with any engine, software, tool, agent, device or mechanism other than software and/or search agents provided by E-Global Sports Network or other generally available third party web browsers (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari), including without limitation any software that sends queries to the Site to determine how a website or web page ranks.
What does this mean? This means that although it’s unclear how aggressive OneSeason will be in shutting these IPO Alert tools that do not use OneSeason’s API feeds, but any tool that does not use OneSeason’s API feeds, including IPO alerts that search OneSeason’s pages, are not authorized, and may stop working or be shut down at any time. The only safe, authorized way, looks like to be our old standby. The F5 Tornado.
This will be a very hot topic going forward.
