1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing, registering for, or utilizing the StopBotAPI platform ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. This Service is operated and maintained by DigitalSteel Studios. If you do not agree to all terms and conditions stated herein, you are strictly prohibited from using the autonomous threat interception network.
2. Autonomous Payload Interception
StopBotAPI operates as a decentralized, automated webhook analysis tool. By routing your storefront traffic through our endpoints, you grant DigitalSteel Studios the explicit right to ingest, parse, analyze, and permanently block payloads deemed to be synthetic, malicious, or automated ("Bots").
While our Hive-Mind AI is rigorously trained, we do not guarantee 100% accuracy in threat detection. DigitalSteel Studios shall not be held liable for legitimate traffic ("False Positives") that is delayed, quarantined, or dropped, nor for sophisticated automated traffic ("False Negatives") that bypasses our filters. You maintain full authority to utilize the Dashboard's "Quarantine Zone" to manually pardon affected traffic.
3. API Usage & Fair Access Limitations
StopBotAPI is delivered via a tiered subscription framework. The "Test Drive" tier provides a strict limit of 50 free interception scans. Any attempt to circumvent this limit via multiple account registrations, IP spoofing, or API key rotation is a direct violation of these Terms and will result in an immediate, permanent global ban of your domains from the StopBotAPI network.
Upon exhausting your allocated scan limit for your respective tier, the Service will automatically return an HTTP 402 Payment Required response, effectively halting protection until your subscription is appropriately upgraded.
4. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DigitalSteel Studios and its affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (I) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the service; (II) any conduct or content of any third party on the service; or (III) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.
5. Global Hive-Mind Data Rights
Subscribers connected to the "Global Node" or standard autonomous protection tiers agree that anonymized threat signatures, IP addresses, and payload structures detected on their storefronts may be reverse-engineered and broadcasted across the StopBotAPI network to immunize other users. No personal identifiable information (PII) of your end-customers is ever shared or utilized in this global sync process.
6. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
