Terms of Use

By using Mast, you agree to use the site and any related API access responsibly and in a way that does not interfere with the service, other users, or the official sources Mast references.

Mast provides informational flag status summaries and links to official sources. Mast does not issue flag orders, replace official government guidance, or provide legal, policy, ceremonial, emergency, or compliance advice.

When Mast shows an AI summarized notice, that label means Mast used an AI service to help turn public source content into a clearer title, summary, or date range. AI summaries are informational and must be checked against the source when accuracy matters.

API access requires a valid Mast license key unless otherwise stated. Do not share, publish, resell, abuse, or attempt to bypass license keys, rate limits, access controls, or monitoring protections.

Mast may limit, suspend, or revoke API access for misuse, excessive traffic, unauthorized redistribution, scraping, security concerns, or activity that could degrade the service. Subscription access remains active while the account is paid and in good standing.

Mast may record accepted and rejected API usage and associate accepted API requests with the developer account connected to the license key. License keys are secrets and should be kept out of public code, client-side repositories, URLs, screenshots, and logs you share.

Mast may collect operational metrics, including approximate unique visitor counts for public pages and API usage counts, to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the service. These metrics are not a guarantee of availability, performance, or audience size.

API responses may be cached, delayed, corrected, removed, or changed as Mast improves data sources and parsers. Do not build high-stakes workflows that rely on Mast as the only source of truth.

Browser, email, and SMS alerts are optional convenience features. Delivery is not guaranteed and may be delayed, blocked, duplicated, or unavailable because of device settings, carriers, email providers, browsers, network conditions, source changes, or Mast service issues.

You are responsible for keeping alert contact information accurate and for unsubscribing or opting out when you no longer want alerts. Mast may stop sending alerts to invalid, unreachable, or unsubscribed destinations.

Mast may offer forms for reporting inaccurate information. Submitting a report does not guarantee that Mast will change, remove, or republish any item, but reports may be used to investigate and improve the service.

Mast is provided as available. Source websites can change, fail, block automated requests, publish corrections, or omit machine-readable data. Mast may be incomplete, delayed, unavailable, or incorrect.

Mast links to third-party and government websites for source context. Those websites are controlled by their respective owners. Mast is not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, privacy practices, or changes.

Source buttons and links are provided so users can inspect the original material. You are responsible for deciding whether the linked source is current, complete, and authoritative for your situation.

Mast may include sponsorships, direct support messages, affiliate links, or third-party advertising. Advertising does not change the informational nature of Mast and does not make advertisers official sources for flag status guidance.

Mast may publish public summaries of same-day flag orders to Mast social media pages. Social posts are informational, may be delayed or corrected, and should be checked against official sources just like Mast pages and API responses.

Mast may update these terms, site behavior, API responses, data sources, licensing requirements, or feature availability over time. Continued use of Mast after changes means you accept the updated terms.
