Terms & Ethics
Attribution & Independence
- Royal Lens is an independent project and is not affiliated with Royal Road.
- We link back to original Royal Road pages and credit sources where applicable.
Fair Use & Content Scope
- Only brief, spoiler-light excerpts are shown to help discovery.
- No full chapters are stored or redistributed.
- We use public pages only; no login-required content is accessed.
Third‑party Data Sources
- Royal Lens retrieves Royal Road metadata via the community project fs-c/royalroad-api and direct requests to public Royal Road pages.
- We honor public access rules, use caching and backoff, and avoid login‑required content.
- If Royal Road staff recommend different integration or rate policies, we will adjust promptly.
AI Transparency
- Summaries and analyses are automated and may be imperfect or subjective.
- Outputs can change as new public data (e.g., reviews) appears.
Author Control
Authors may request corrections, removal of specific excerpts, or opt out of AI profiles/summaries. Contact on Discord: @nonvar.
Responsible Usage
- Requests are rate-limited and cached to respect Royal Road infrastructure.
- Inputs are validated and endpoints have sane timeouts and limits.
Acceptable Use
- Do not misuse the service (e.g., automated scraping via our endpoints, abuse, or attempts to bypass limits).
- We may adjust or suspend features to protect the community and upstream services.
