{"product":"CatalogAIO","document":"Terms of Service","version":"1.0","effective":"28 July 2026","sections":[{"title":"1. Who we are and what you are agreeing to","body":"These Terms of Service (\"Terms\") are a binding agreement between you and the operator of the Apexon API platform (\"Apexon\", \"we\", \"us\"), covering your use of CatalogAIO and any other API product served from catalog.apexon.dev (the \"Service\"). By requesting an API key, subscribing through a marketplace, or making any request to the Service, you accept these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorized to bind that company."},{"title":"2. The Service","body":"The Service provides programmatic access to product catalog data — search results, product details, offers, reviews, best-seller rankings and search suggestions across supported Amazon storefronts — over documented HTTP endpoints, both on our native /v1 surface and via marketplace-compatible path aliases. We may add, modify, or retire endpoints, fields, or features at any time; where a change is breaking, we aim to announce it in advance through the documentation or status page."},{"title":"3. API keys and account responsibility","body":"Access requires a valid API key issued by us or by an authorized marketplace. Your key is a secret: do not embed it in client-side code, public repositories, or shared documents. You are responsible for all requests made with your key, whether or not you authorized them, until you notify us of a compromise at support@apexon.dev. Keys are product-scoped — a CatalogAIO key does not grant access to other Apexon products. We may rotate or revoke keys for security reasons."},{"title":"4. Plans, quotas, and billing","body":"Plans define a monthly request quota and a per-minute rate limit, both enforced automatically and surfaced through X-RateLimit-* response headers. Purchases made through a marketplace (such as RapidAPI) are billed and refunded under that marketplace's checkout, billing cycle, and refund policies; purchases made directly from us are billed as described at the point of sale. You may upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time; changes apply from the next billing cycle unless stated otherwise. Quota resets follow your billing date. Unused quota does not roll over."},{"title":"5. Acceptable use","body":"You agree not to: (a) bypass or attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits, quotas, or caching; (b) share, sublicense, or pool a single key across unrelated products or customers; (c) resell or republish raw, unmodified API responses as a competing data API without a separate commercial agreement with us; (d) use the Service to violate any law, regulation, or third party's rights, including the rights and terms of the marketplaces whose public pages the data is derived from; (e) impose abnormal load, probe, or disrupt the Service or its upstream sources. We may throttle, suspend, or terminate keys engaged in any of the above, with or without notice depending on severity."},{"title":"6. Marketplace data and third-party sources","body":"Data served by the Service is derived from publicly accessible catalog pages. Apexon is an independent company and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon.com, Inc., any of its affiliates, or any seller, brand, or upstream data provider whose information may appear in responses. \"Amazon\" and all related marks are trademarks of their respective owners. Prices, availability, offers, rankings and reviews change constantly and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate relative to the live storefront at the moment you read them. Nothing in the Service is a representation about any product, seller, or transaction. If you redistribute data to your own users, you are responsible for your own compliance with applicable law and with the terms of any site whose public data you request through the Service."},{"title":"7. Prohibited uses of catalog data","body":"You may not use the Service to manipulate marketplace outcomes — including attempts to influence search rankings, best-seller position, buy-box allocation, or review scores — nor to build tooling whose purpose is to do so. You may not use the Service to collect, enrich, or resell personal information about reviewers, sellers, or shoppers, including scraping reviewer identities for contact or profiling purposes. Review text and author display names returned by the Service are provided for aggregate analysis only; you are the controller of any personal data you choose to retain and are responsible for having a lawful basis to do so."},{"title":"8. Availability and support","body":"The Service is provided on a best-effort basis without a contractual SLA on self-serve plans. Current status is published at https://catalog.apexon.dev/health. We may perform maintenance, and upstream instability may temporarily degrade individual endpoints; where an upstream source is unreachable or serves a challenge instead of a page, the Service returns a structured error rather than fabricated data. Support is provided by email at support@apexon.dev with response times that vary by plan. If you need contractual availability or support commitments, contact us about a volume agreement."},{"title":"9. Changes to the Service or these Terms","body":"We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version, with its effective date, is always available at /legal/terms. Material changes will be signposted in the documentation or status page. Continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms."},{"title":"10. Suspension and termination","body":"You may stop using the Service at any time; cancellation of paid plans takes effect per Section 4. We may suspend or terminate access immediately for breach of these Terms, non-payment, security risk, legal requirement, or conduct that threatens the stability of the Service or its upstream sources. Upon termination your license to use the Service ends and outstanding fees remain payable. Sections 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, and 13 survive termination."},{"title":"11. Intellectual property","body":"We retain all rights in the Service, its documentation, branding, and software. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Service and use returned data within your own applications during your subscription, subject to Sections 5 and 7. Underlying product content — including titles, images, and review text — remains subject to the rights of its originators; no ownership of such content is transferred to you."},{"title":"12. Privacy","body":"We process the minimum data needed to operate the Service: API keys, request metadata (endpoint, timestamp, IP address, request id), and aggregate usage counters, retained for security, billing, and abuse prevention. We do not sell personal data. Marketplace purchases are additionally governed by the marketplace's own privacy policy. Data-related requests can be sent to support@apexon.dev."},{"title":"13. Disclaimers and limitation of liability","body":"THE SERVICE AND ALL DATA ARE PROVIDED \"AS IS\" AND \"AS AVAILABLE\", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR COMMERCIAL LOSSES ARISING FROM PRICING, STOCK, OR RANKING DECISIONS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN ANY TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD IS LIMITED TO THE FEES YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THAT PERIOD. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; where that is the case, these limits apply to the fullest extent permitted."},{"title":"14. Indemnification","body":"You will defend and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your applications, your use of the Service in breach of these Terms, or your redistribution of data to your own users."},{"title":"15. Governing law","body":"These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Service operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer law provides otherwise."},{"title":"16. Contact","body":"Questions about these Terms: support@apexon.dev."}],"html":"Request with Accept: text/html for the formatted document.","disclaimer_path":"/legal/disclaimer"}
