Acceptable Use Policy

Version 1.0 — Effective 2026-05-19

This Acceptable Use Policy (the "AUP") governs your use of Skipshit (the "Service"), which is operated by Multistate Land Investments LLC ("Skipshit," "we," "us," or "our"). The AUP is incorporated into, and forms part of, the Skipshit Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Service.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to comply with this AUP. We may update this AUP from time to time, and the updated AUP will be effective when posted at the URL where you originally accessed it. Your continued use of the Service after we post an update constitutes your acceptance of the updated AUP.

1. What Skipshit Is, and What It Is Not

Skipshit is a paid skip-tracing service distributed as a remote Model Context Protocol ("MCP") server. The Service accepts a small set of identifying inputs about a person (such as a name and address), submits those inputs to a licensed U.S. consumer-data aggregator, and returns the response to the user's connected language-model client.

Skipshit is not a consumer reporting agency. Data returned by the Service is not a "consumer report" under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.) or any state analog. Skipshit's data feed is not licensed under, and does not include data regulated by, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C. § 6801 et seq.) or the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (18 U.S.C. § 2721 et seq.).

The Service is available only to users located in the United States and returns only U.S.-based data.

2. Permitted Uses

You may use the Service only for a lawful business or personal purpose that does not violate this AUP. Without limiting the foregoing, the Service is intended for legitimate use cases such as locating customers, debtors, witnesses, lost contacts, beneficiaries, or real-property owners; due diligence on counterparties to a transaction in which you are a party; and verification of information you have lawfully obtained from another source.

If you are unsure whether a particular use is permitted, do not run the search and contact us at hello@skipshit.com.

3. Prohibited Uses

You may not use the Service, or any data obtained through the Service, for any of the following purposes. The list is not exhaustive.

3.1 FCRA-regulated decisions. You may not use the Service, or any data obtained through it, in whole or in part, as a factor in determining any individual's eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, housing, government benefits, or for any other purpose enumerated in or regulated by the FCRA or any state analog.

3.2 GLBA and DPPA uses. You may not represent or use data obtained through the Service as GLBA-regulated financial information or DPPA-regulated motor vehicle information, and you may not combine Skipshit data with GLBA- or DPPA-regulated data you obtain elsewhere in any manner that would cause Skipshit data to become subject to those statutes.

3.3 Harm to persons. You may not use the Service to harass, threaten, stalk, intimidate, defraud, dox, blackmail, discriminate against, or otherwise harm any person. You may not use the Service to facilitate domestic violence, sexual violence, or any criminal conduct. You may not target any person under the age of 18.

3.4 Bulk acquisition and resale. You may not use the Service for bulk data acquisition, list building, list enrichment, scraping, or any similar mass-extraction purpose. You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, or republish data obtained through the Service. You may not incorporate Skipshit data into any product or service that you or your affiliates offer to third parties. You may not act as a reseller, broker, sales agent, or distributor of Skipshit data.

3.5 Single-customer rule. If you are using the Service in the course of providing services to a customer, you must obtain Skipshit data on a transactional basis to serve a single customer for a single matter. You may not run a single query and reuse the results across multiple customers or multiple matters.

3.6 Database enhancement. You may not use the Service to enhance, append to, or update any database, marketing list, customer relationship management system, or similar repository, except on a per-record basis specifically authorized by the person about whom the record relates or specifically authorized by your customer at the time of the query.

3.7 Self- and personal-relationship lookups by employees. If you are an employee or contractor of an organization that uses the Service, you may not use the Service to look up yourself, your personal associates, or any other person except in the proper exercise of your duties for that organization.

3.8 Restricted recipients. You may not provide data obtained through the Service to any person on the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control list of Specially Designated Nationals or any other U.S. sanctions list, or to any person or entity on the Skipshit Restricted Recipients List. The Restricted Recipients List is available by request from hello@skipshit.com and may be updated from time to time; you are responsible for checking it.

3.9 Directory assistance. You may not use the Service to operate or support a directory assistance service.

3.10 AI training and third-party AI ingestion. You may not use any data obtained through the Service to train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark, or otherwise develop any artificial intelligence or machine learning model. You may not submit, paste, upload, or otherwise input data obtained through the Service into any third-party AI system, hosted model, or open-source AI platform other than the language-model client you have connected to the Service for the specific purpose of running the query. You may not use Skipshit data within any AI system to make, support, or replace a "consequential decision" as defined by the Colorado AI Act (Colorado Revised Statutes Title 6, Article 1, Part 17) or any comparable law.

3.11 Security and integrity. You may not (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source or workings of the Service; (b) introduce any virus, worm, malware, or other malicious code into the Service; (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or to any account other than your own; (d) interfere with or disrupt the Service or any systems or networks connected to the Service; (e) circumvent any rate limit, authentication mechanism, or access control; or (f) use any automated means to access the Service except through the published MCP interface and at the published rates.

3.12 Misrepresentation. You may not misrepresent your identity, your purpose, or your basis for using the Service. You may not display, expose, or hold out data obtained through the Service in a manner that could reasonably cause a recipient to construe it as a "consumer report."

3.13 EU/UK/EEA users. You may not access or attempt to access the Service from the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the European Economic Area. The Service is geo-blocked to those jurisdictions, and you may not attempt to circumvent the block.

3.14 Violations of law. You may not use the Service in violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, including without limitation the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227), the CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. § 7701 et seq.), the federal Do Not Call rules, all applicable U.S. state privacy laws, and all applicable consumer protection, anti-discrimination, and anti-fraud laws.

4. Rate Limits

Your use of the Service is subject to rate limits, which may include limits on the number of queries per second, per hour, and per day. Current rate limits are published in the Service documentation and may be updated from time to time. We may temporarily or permanently reduce your rate limit if your usage patterns suggest abuse, automation contrary to this AUP, or risk to the stability of the Service.

5. Audit and Monitoring

5.1 What we retain. We maintain a record of every query made through the Service, including the search inputs you submit, the response status (matched, no match, or error), the timestamp, the credits consumed, and the identity of the account holder. We retain these records for the life of your account. We retain the full upstream response, in encrypted form, until you delete it or for thirty (30) days after you soft-delete a query (whichever occurs first). After that thirty-day window, the encrypted response is permanently destroyed, but the input record and operational metadata are retained as an audit artifact.

5.2 What we use the records for. We may review these records on a discretionary basis to investigate compliance with this AUP, the Terms of Service, the signup attestation, and applicable law; to respond to lawful demands from law enforcement, regulators, courts, or our upstream data source; to defend against claims; and to enforce our rights.

5.3 What we do not do. We do not conduct automated real-time monitoring of query content. We do not employ automated abuse detection that inspects the substance of your queries. Enforcement is on-demand and discretionary. You should not infer from a lack of immediate intervention that we have approved or ratified any particular use.

5.4 Upstream audits. Our upstream data source has audit rights over us, which may include reviewing records of queries made through the Service. You agree that we may share records of your use of the Service with our upstream data source for purposes of those audits.

6. Enforcement

6.1 Investigation. We may investigate any suspected violation of this AUP at any time, with or without notice to you. We may require you to cooperate with the investigation and to provide additional information.

6.2 Available remedies. If we have any reason to believe you have violated this AUP, we may, in our sole discretion and without prior notice: (a) revoke your API keys; (b) suspend or terminate your account; (c) refuse to provide further service to you; (d) report you to law enforcement, regulators, or our upstream data source; and (e) pursue any other remedy available to us under the Terms of Service or applicable law. We may exercise any one or more of these remedies in any combination.

6.3 No obligation to notify. Other than as required by law, we have no obligation to notify you in advance of any enforcement action, and we have no obligation to give you an opportunity to cure.

6.4 No release. Suspending or terminating your account does not release you from any obligation you have already incurred, including the obligation to pay fees and to indemnify us, and does not entitle you to a refund of any prepaid credits.

7. Reporting Violations

If you become aware of any use of the Service that violates this AUP, please report it to hello@skipshit.com. If you become aware of a security vulnerability in the Service, please report it to hello@skipshit.com.

8. Changes to This AUP

We may update this AUP at any time. The updated AUP will be effective when posted, and your continued use of the Service after we post an update constitutes your acceptance. We may, but are not required to, give you advance notice of material changes by email or through the Service.
