Rightmove's terms of use:

"You must not copy, transmit, modify, republish, store (in whole or in part), frame, pass-off or link to any material or information on or downloaded from this Site without our prior written consent."

Have you taken a licence from Rightmove et al for the data usage?

Did you get permission to republish that sentence before pasting it here?

Heh, nope, but it's an insubstantial part of the whole and thus wouldn't constitute infringement.

Plus my pasting of a company's terms to ask whether the OP is in compliance is hardly likely to attract the ire of the company, whereas if I was Rightmove's lawyers I might have an issue with someone taking parts of my database wholesale for usage on a competing site.

I personally think a competitor aggregating results is a positive thing, but I was just curious as to whether this was done with a licence or not.

we are taking them from a third party who is a partner with Rightmove which provides APIs for that.

Interesting, what is the name of this 3rd party?
