• Keep your API key confidential. If compromised, contact us immediately at avi@ultradeep.tech.
• Free tier keys are limited to 5 API calls per month. Paid tiers are subject to their respective limits.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to build a competing compliance API product or resell API outputs as a primary product
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits, authentication, or access controls
• Submit malicious, unlawful, or privacy-violating content through the API

• Reverse-engineer the classification logic or methodology for competitive purposes

6. Disclaimer — Not Legal Advice

ComplianceIQ outputs are informational and technical in nature. They do not constitute legal advice, legal opinions, or a certification of compliance under the EU AI Act or any other regulation. You should consult qualified legal counsel for regulatory decisions. We are not liable for any compliance failures, regulatory penalties, or damages arising from reliance on ComplianceIQ outputs.

7. Intellectual Property

All API outputs generated by ComplianceIQ are provided to you for your internal compliance use. You retain ownership of AI system descriptions you submit. We retain ownership of the classification methodology, codebase, and Service infrastructure.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.

10. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate API keys that violate these terms, engage in abuse, or pose a security risk. You may terminate your account at any time by emailing us. Upon termination, your API key is immediately revoked.
