Not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. A compliance card states what a law said on the date shown, with that date and the source inside the frame. It says nothing about your situation.

What you may do. Place the embed on any page, including a page carrying advertising, and keep it there while this licence stands. Show the attribution line the copy button gives you, visible, on the same page.

What you may not do. Do not copy the chart, the card or its wording out of the frame and republish it as your own. Do not remove the disclaimer, the date or the Olive name from the frame. Do not place the embed on a page selling a service that claims to detect AI-written applications, or on a page carrying adult content, harassment, or scraped job listings.

Attribution. One visible link reading "Olive", pointing to the source page, carrying rel="nofollow". Search engines treat distributed widget links as link spam, so that attribute protects your site as much as it protects Olive.

The data. The numbers behind a chart are published separately under CC BY 4.0 on the source page. Take those and analyse them however you like, including in ways Olive would not. Two things travel with them. Say that you changed the figure, which section 3(a)(1)(B) of that licence asks of you anyway. And keep the credit in text beside the figure rather than printed on it: under section 3(a)(3), Olive asks you to take the Olive name, the edition id and the source URL off the artwork of any figure you altered, so that a changed figure is not read as Olive's own. The Olive name is a trademark, and section 2(b)(2) does not license it. Section 2(a)(6) says this licence never implies Olive endorses your work.

The data is offered under that licence and not under this one, so its own section 5 travels with it: Creative Commons offers licensed material as-is and limits the licensor's liability. Olive's terms above disclaim nothing and cap nothing. Those are two documents and this line is here so the difference is on the page rather than in the difference between them.

What the request carries. Loading the embed sends Olive the same things any web request sends: an IP address, a user agent, and the address of the page it was loaded from. Olive keeps an aggregate count per page and per artifact. Olive sets no cookie, runs no script on your page, and stores no identifier for the reader. Hosting logs retain request metadata for a limited period. If you would rather send nothing, use the image-and-link version published beside every embed; it makes no request to Olive at page load.

Term. This licence runs until Olive withdraws it in writing to the address on your site, or stops serving the embed. Olive may stop serving at any time, and a stop takes effect immediately. Remove the code within 30 days of a written notice.

Complaints. Write to hello@olive.is. A person reads every complaint and answers within ten working days, saying what was found and what changed. All concerns that Olive has engaged in the unauthorized practice of law are referred to the North Carolina State Bar, wherever the complaint came from.

Olive's own terms here disclaim no warranty, cap no liability, waive no remedy, and name no court or state for a dispute. Those absences are deliberate. The data cells are a separate licence and carry their own, as the data clause says.
