Licensing & API Access
Effective date: 1 March 2026
1. Proprietary Software & Design
The Subash platform — including but not limited to its source code, compiled application, user interface design, visual design system, glassmorphism aesthetic, typography choices, interaction patterns, and all custom components — is the exclusive intellectual property of Subash and its founders.
The platform is protected under copyright law and applicable intellectual property regulations. No part of the platform may be reproduced, modified, distributed, or used to create derivative works without prior written authorisation.
2. The Subash Fragrance Database
Subash has curated, structured, validated, and enriched a proprietary fragrance database comprising perfume records, accord taxonomies, community review data, creator profiles, and metadata associations. This compiled database constitutes a proprietary dataset — even where individual perfume data points may be publicly known — because the selection, arrangement, and enrichment of the data represents original creative and intellectual effort.
The database is not available for public download, export, or replication. Any attempt to reconstruct the database through scraping, API abuse, or manual extraction constitutes a violation of these terms and applicable intellectual property law.
3. Community Content
User-generated content (reviews, ratings, wardrobe collections, Fragram posts) is licensed by users to Subash under the terms described in our Terms of Service. Third parties may not reproduce, aggregate, or commercially exploit this community content without a signed licence agreement.
4. Permitted Personal Use
Registered users of the Platform are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform solely for their own personal, non-commercial fragrance discovery purposes. This licence does not extend to:
- Building competing services or products.
- Aggregating content for resale or redistribution.
- Training machine learning models on Subash data.
- Any form of automated batch access, indexing, or mirroring.
5. Open Source Acknowledgements
Subash is built on top of open-source technologies including Next.js, Prisma, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, and others, each governed by their respective licences. Our proprietary rights apply to the original creative work built on top of these technologies, not to the underlying open-source components.
