4. Creators: connecting newsletter providers and verification

  • you have the right to access the Provider account and to use the credentials you provide
  • you are permitted (by law and by your Provider terms) to share and publish the resulting Metrics through the Service

4.2 Provider availability and accuracy

Providers are third-party services. Sealivo does not control Providers and does not guarantee:

  • Provider uptime or API availability
  • completeness or accuracy of Provider data
  • that Providers will continue to support the same endpoints or data fields

If a Provider changes its APIs or policies, verification features may become limited or unavailable.

4.3 Your responsibility for credentials

You are responsible for keeping Provider credentials secure. Do not reuse credentials across services or share them publicly.

4.4 No subscriber list processing guarantee

Sealivo is designed to rely on aggregate Metrics. However, Provider responses may sometimes include additional information.
