These are the general usage guideline you have to adhere to when using the Mollom open API or the provided Mollom clients. Note that these guidelines could change, and that you therefor should regularly revisit this page.
- Volume limits - Mollom Free users are limited to 100 ham submissions per day, 100 correct CAPTCHAs per day or 5000 requests per day -- whatever comes first. Mollom Plus users are limited to 10,000 ham submissions per day, 10,000 correct CAPTCHAs per day or 500,000 requests per day -- whatever comes first.
- Keys - For each site that you want to protect with Mollom you have to create a new key pair. You are not allowed to reuse keys for several sites. Reusing a key pair on multiple site would break Mollom's internal reputation system for that site. The key pair is also private and can in no way be made public or send to other people. Free users can only request a limited amount of key pairs. This is currently limited to 10 key pairs per user. Paying users can have unlimited keys.
- Resell or relicense - You are not allowed to integrate Mollom in products or services you resell or relicense to other parties.
- Correct API use - All use of the open API should be according to the well defined API documentation. Performing an excess amount of malformed or invalid calls can lead to the disabling of your key.
- Illegitimate use - You are in no way allowed to try to alter the operation of the Mollom classifiers by submitting specially devised content or incorrectly marking messages. Mollom internally uses several reputation systems, and when your key pair's reputation gets very low due to illegitimate or erratic API use, you key pair can get blocked.
- Privacy policy - It is your responsibility to make sure your website visitors are duly informed and agree with our Web Service Privacy Policy which allows us to process their personal data.
