AI License Terms

Last updated: November 11, 2026

1. About These Terms

These AI License Terms (the “License Terms”) govern access to and use of the content published on thedenominator.ai (the “Content”) by search engines, artificial intelligence systems and other automated systems. They supplement our Terms and Conditions, which also apply. A machine-readable version of these License Terms is referenced in our robots.txt file in accordance with the Really Simple Licensing (RSL) standard. If the machine-readable version and these License Terms differ, these License Terms govern.

2. Definitions

  • “AI System” means any artificial intelligence or machine-learning model, system or service, including large language models, answer engines, chatbots and AI agents.
  • “Operator” means any person or organization that operates a crawler, an AI System or another automated system that accesses or uses the Content.
  • “Crawling” means accessing, copying or collecting the Content by automated means.

3. Uses Permitted Without a License

An Operator may, without a license and without charge, crawl publicly available Content in order to:

  • index the Content for a search engine or answer engine;
  • display a link to the Content in response to a user’s query; and
  • quote or summarize a brief portion of a specific article in response to a user’s query, provided that the response attributes The Denominator as the source and links to the original article, as Section 5 requires.

These permissions apply only to Content that is publicly available without signing in, and only where the Operator complies with Sections 5 and 6.

4. Uses That Require a License

An Operator must obtain a written license from The Denominator before it:

  • uses the Content to train, fine-tune, evaluate or otherwise develop an AI System;
  • stores the Content, in whole or in part, in a dataset, index, vector database or other repository used to generate responses, other than a search index permitted by Section 3;
  • uses the Content to ground, retrieve for or supply an AI System beyond the brief, attributed use Section 3 permits;
  • reproduces, displays or distributes the full text or a substantial portion of any article;
  • uses the Content in a commercial product, service or dataset sold or licensed to others; or
  • accesses Content available only to signed-in Members.

5. Attribution

Every permitted use must attribute the Content to The Denominator by name and provide a working link to the original article on thedenominator.ai, displayed with the quotation or summary. An Operator may not alter the Content in a way that changes its meaning, or present it as the Operator’s own.

6. Crawling Conduct

An Operator that crawls the Content must:

  • identify its crawler with an accurate user agent and, where available, a published verification method;
  • follow the instructions in our robots.txt file;
  • crawl at a rate that does not impair the performance of our website; and
  • not circumvent any sign-in, access control, rate limit or other technical measure.

We may block or limit any crawler at our discretion.

7. Requesting a License

To request a license for any use described in Section 4, contact us at general@thedenominator.ai. Please describe the Operator, the AI System or product, the intended use, the volume of Content and the term requested. Licenses are granted only in a written agreement signed by The Denominator. No license is granted or implied by these License Terms, by our robots.txt file or by our failure to block any crawler.

8. Unauthorized Use

Any use of the Content that these License Terms do not permit, or that a license does not cover, is unauthorized and a breach of our Terms and Conditions. We reserve all rights and remedies, including the right to block access and to seek damages and other relief.

9. Changes to These License Terms

We may update these License Terms from time to time. We will post the updated terms on this page, revise the “Last updated” date and update the machine-readable version. Changes apply from the date they are posted.

Questions about these License Terms may be sent to general@thedenominator.ai.
