These Terms of Service ('Terms') govern your access to and use of the websites, APIs, and digital services provided by Bonai LLC ('Bonai', 'we', 'us', or 'our'). By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. Accounts, Billing, and API Keys

Our APIs and digital products are provided directly by Bonai. When you subscribe to a Bonai product, you enter into an agreement with Bonai LLC. Your account and API keys are created and managed through the Bonai console (console.bonai.io). All billing and subscription management are handled by Bonai. Any disputes regarding billing or account access should be directed to Bonai support in accordance with these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use our services. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. API Usage and Restrictions

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and your paid subscription, Bonai LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access our APIs.

Restrictions: You may not: (a) reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of our APIs; (b) use our APIs to create a competing service; (c) bypass any rate limits or security measures; (d) use our services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose; or (e) sell, lease, or sublicense the raw data returned by our APIs without explicit written consent.

Caching: You may cache API responses locally to improve performance. Reasonable caching is permitted; systematically downloading or storing a substantial portion of the data to create a competing service or redistribute it is prohibited.

4. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Bonai services, including our branding, API structures, and proprietary algorithms, are and will remain the exclusive property of Bonai LLC and its licensors.

We do not claim ownership over the third-party news content indexed by our APIs; such content remains the property of its respective publishers and is subject to their own terms and conditions.

5. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our APIs at any time, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms or if your usage creates a technical or legal risk to our platform. Upon termination, your right to use the services will immediately cease.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bonai LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: your use of our services; your violation of these Terms; or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN 'AS IS' AND 'AS AVAILABLE' BASIS. BONAI LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
