It’s just the UI I cloned, content is curated by me and my team

    So, good news: Since you apparently aren’t scraping the content, only the UI, my first comment is irrelevant. And this probably doesn’t break AGPL.

    Bad news: If I'm understanding you correctly you are copying and re-serving someone else’s page design and layout, which might fall under reproduction of copyrighted material and may be an even bigger issue than what I said in my first comment. Especially since your Terms of Service appears to claim ownership of the design.

    If I were you, I would really make sure you aren't breaking law with this. Seems like something that could come back to bite you very easily.
