"Agreement" means these Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy incorporated by reference.
"Service" means the Screening API platform, including all API endpoints, web dashboard, documentation, and related software provided by us.
"Customer" (also "you" or "your") means the organisation or individual who has registered for an account and accepted this Agreement.
"API Key" means the credential issued to a Customer that authorises access to the Service.
"Screening Request" means a single query submitted to the Service containing a blockchain address and chain identifier.
"Screening Data" means the consolidated output of the Service, derived from government-published sanctions lists and community watchlists.
"Third-Party Lists" means government-published sanctions and watchlist data sourced by the Service, including but not limited to the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list, EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List, UK Financial Sanctions List, and UN Security Council Consolidated List.
"Usage Quota" means the maximum number of Screening Requests permitted under a Customer's selected plan per billing period.
The Service provides programmatic access to consolidated Screening Data to assist Customers in their own compliance programmes.
Informational purpose only. The Service and its outputs are provided for informational purposes. They do not constitute legal advice, compliance advice, or a determination of legal obligation. Nothing in the Service output creates or implies a legal duty of any kind.
Customer responsibility. The Customer remains solely responsible for its own compliance programme, including but not limited to: (a) determining which jurisdictions' sanctions laws apply to its operations; (b) implementing appropriate screening thresholds and escalation procedures; (c) filing required reports with applicable regulators; and (d) conducting any enhanced due diligence required by law.
Source accuracy. Third-Party Lists are published by independent government bodies. We make no representation that our ingestion of those lists is instantaneous, error-free, or complete. Customers should not rely solely on this Service for sanctions compliance.
You agree to:
The Service has the following inherent limitations:
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS, THAT THE SCREENING DATA WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE, OR THAT RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE WILL SATISFY ANY LEGAL OR REGULATORY OBLIGATION.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
(a) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
(b) OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE TOTAL FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU IN THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (ii) USD $100.
These limitations apply even if a remedy fails its essential purpose.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgements, awards, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service in violation of this Agreement; (b) your violation of any applicable law or regulation, including sanctions law; (c) any claim by a third party arising from your use of the Service outputs; or (d) your breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement.
Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. A violation of the Acceptable Use Policy is a material breach of this Agreement.
Our obligations. We will treat the contents of your Screening Requests (the addresses you submit) as confidential. We will not disclose them to third parties except as required by applicable law or as described in our Privacy Policy.
Your obligations. Any non-public information we provide to you regarding Service architecture, pricing not publicly listed, or pre-release features is our confidential information. You will not disclose it without our prior written consent.
Exclusions. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no breach of this Agreement; (b) was already known to the receiving party before disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party; or (d) must be disclosed by law, court order, or regulatory demand, provided prompt notice is given to the other party where legally permitted.
We process certain data in connection with providing the Service. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details of what data we collect, how we use it, how long we retain it, and your rights regarding it.
You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and consents to submit data to the Service, including any blockchain addresses that may be associated with identifiable individuals.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain Service availability. We do not guarantee any specific uptime percentage unless explicitly stated in a written Order Form executed by both parties.
Planned maintenance windows will be communicated in advance where practicable. Emergency maintenance may occur without advance notice.
The Service includes reasonable rate limiting as documented in the API reference. We reserve the right to throttle or suspend access that materially degrades Service performance for other customers.
Term. This Agreement begins when you first create an account and continues until terminated.
Termination by you. You may terminate your account at any time by cancelling your subscription via the billing portal. Termination takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are provided for unused portions of a billing period.
Termination by us. We may terminate or suspend your access immediately if: (a) you materially breach this Agreement and fail to cure within 14 days of written notice (or immediately for AUP violations); (b) you become insolvent or enter administration; (c) we determine continuation would expose us to legal or regulatory risk; or (d) we elect to discontinue the Service.
Effect of termination. Upon termination, your API Keys are revoked and you lose access to the Service. Sections 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, and 15 survive termination.
We may modify this Agreement from time to time. We will provide at least 14 days' notice of material changes via the email address on your account or a prominent notice in the dashboard. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of a modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Agreement. If you do not agree to a modification, your sole remedy is to terminate your account before the effective date.
We reserve the right to modify fees with 30 days' written notice. Fee changes take effect at the start of your next billing period.
[JURISDICTION PLACEHOLDER — TO BE COMPLETED BY LEGAL COUNSEL PRIOR TO LAUNCH]
This Agreement is governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
[DISPUTE RESOLUTION MECHANISM — TO BE DETERMINED: e.g., mandatory arbitration clause, small-claims carve-out, class-action waiver, or litigation in specified courts]
This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings, agreements, or communications between the parties, whether written or oral.
If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.
A waiver of any breach is not a waiver of any subsequent breach. No waiver is effective unless in writing.
The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship.
Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
