Terms of Service

The short version: be cool, have fun, don't break stuff.

1. The point

This is a free, fun API. Use it responsibly. It returns tiny pixel people doing tiny pixel things, which is not a thing the world strictly needed, but here we are.

2. You can use it

Free for personal projects, commercial sites, toys, demos, whatever. Attribution nice but not required. Stick the little people on your landing page, in your dashboard, in your weird art project. Go nuts.

3. Don't be a jerk

Don't scrape abusively. Rate limits exist for a reason and that reason is my hosting bill. Don't try to break the server. Don't use it in any application that harms people. You know the kinds of things that harm people. Don't do those.

4. No warranty

This is best-effort. If the little people go missing for 20 minutes, we might be at lunch. The service is provided "as is" with no guarantees of uptime, fitness for purpose, or that the jogger will always be jogging in the correct direction.

5. Content

The renderer and catalogs (people, activities, environments) you grab from addpeople.ai are yours to embed and self-host. Use them. Make them kiss. The server source code stays with us — somewhere safe, somewhere you can't get to. If you build something cool with the artifacts, I'd love to see it.

6. Changes

We may update these terms. If we do, the date at the bottom changes. That's the notice. If you care deeply about tracking revisions to a terms-of-service document for a free pixel-people API, you have time to check back.

7. Mike Jones reserves the right to be silly about this

This is a toy. The terms are written in plain English on purpose. If something here seems ambiguous, the rule is: would a reasonable person think this is fine? If yes, it's fine. If no, it's not. Mike Jones reserves the right to add a goose to the sprite roster at any time without warning.
