## How an agent gets files

- Not allowed: API materials may be used only while an active API License subscription is maintained.
- Not allowed: Do not sublicense, sell or distribute the raw visual content outside your software, and do not post it online in a downloadable format.
- Not allowed: Keep copyright notices and text intact.
- Not allowed: No AI/ML training on materials obtained through the API.

Note on bots: the terms ban bots, scrapers and bulk downloading from the site. Do not script downloads from it; ask the user to download the files (or use the official API, if there is one) and add them to the project.
