Hi Matteo, I'm sorry that we didn't get back to you on earlier threads. For TOS related questions, I think that the person you want to talk to actually would be legal counsel. We're happy to help with any code related questions though :)
(Also it looks like your other questions earlier were terms related as well so I should have mentioned this back then. Apologies.)
