So there's a couple of things in play here. You can't (generally) copyright facts - "Cthalupa is a Rocket Surgeon for the Space Force since 2001", if true, would not be something that I could get a copyright on.

The second thing is that terms have to be agreed upon by both parties. If you give me information without us coming to an agreement on terms, I can't be bound by them. If you just put a link to a TOS on your website and don't require people agree to it before giving them access to data on your website, we did not enter into a contractual agreement.
