Terms of Service — satoshidata.ai risk-check

Last updated: 2026-06-24 · Version 1.0

These Terms govern your access to and use of the risk-check API and any associated MCP tools, endpoints, and responses (collectively, the "Service") operated by satoshidata.ai ("we," "us," "our"). By calling the Service — including by completing an x402 / L402 micropayment to receive a response — you ("you," the "caller," and the principal on whose behalf you act) agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not call the Service.

1. Informational only; not advice; not a verdict

The Service returns published-data evidence — on-chain facts, public sanctions-list matches, and source-attributed labels — each carrying a stated source and confidence tier. Output is for informational purposes only. It is not legal, compliance, KYC/AML, KYT, sanctions, financial, or investment advice, and it is not a determination, accusation, recommendation, endorsement, or verdict about any address, person, or entity. The Service does not tell you whether to transact. No attorney–client, fiduciary, or advisory relationship is created by your use of the Service.

2. No warranty; "as is"

The Service and all data are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Underlying data is heuristic and probabilistic except where a signal's confidence_tier is verified. Even verified living-list findings (e.g., OFAC sanctions) reflect their sources as of the stated re-verification time (live_reverified_at) and may change without notice. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or complete in coverage.

3. Limitation of liability (cap)

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is capped at the total fees you paid us for the Service in the thirty (30) days preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

4. Exclusion of consequential damages (standalone)

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, nor for any lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or for any transaction, trading, payment, or compliance decision made in reliance on the Service — regardless of the theory of liability and even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This exclusion is independent of, and survives, the cap in §3.

5. Caller responsibility; you own the decision

You (and your principal) are solely responsible for your transaction, payment, counterparty, and compliance decisions. The Service does not authorize, recommend, endorse, require, or prohibit any payment or counterparty relationship. You are responsible for your own sanctions screening, regulatory, and reporting obligations; the Service is one input, not a substitute for your own diligence or for compliance sign-off.

6. Attribution discipline

Subjective characterizations (e.g., scam, fraud, phishing) are attributed to their source, tiered for confidence, time-stamped, and may be withheld where our evidentiary bar is not met. We publish a lens on public data; we do not assert as fact in our own voice that any named person or entity has engaged in wrongdoing. The governing rules are stated in our Scam-Label Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

7. Correction / dispute channel

Any party may contest a label or finding through our documented dispute/correction channel at [email protected]. We will review contested findings and, where warranted, demote, attribute, annotate, or withhold them, consistent with our demote-over-delete posture. Use of this channel is the exclusive path for correction requests.

8. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service, or its output, to harass, defame, unlawfully discriminate against, or otherwise cause unlawful harm to any person or entity; to make an automated adverse decision about a person without your own independent basis; or in any manner that itself violates applicable sanctions, export-control, or other law. You may not use the Service to build a competing labeling/verdict product by systematic extraction.

9. Indemnification

You will indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use or misuse of the Service or its output, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

10. Third-party data sources

The Service re-publishes data from third-party and public sources (e.g., the US Treasury OFAC SDN list) with attribution and re-verification timing. Those sources and their underlying accuracy are not ours; we disclaim responsibility for the underlying accuracy, completeness, or availability of third-party data, and reference to a government action (e.g., an OFAC listing) is a neutral report of that action, not our independent assertion of fact.

11. Governing law; venue; dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, except that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. This clause anchors the limitation of liability in §3–§4 and manages a global, signup-less audience. Nothing in this clause deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection law of your place of residence that cannot be waived by agreement. This §11 is subject to change under §12; the operative version is the one terms_url resolves to at the time of your call.

12. Changes to these Terms; versioning; severability; termination

These Terms are versioned; the operative version is the one that terms_url resolves to at the time of your call, and continued use after a change constitutes acceptance. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision is enforced to the maximum extent permitted. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms or for abusive or unlawful use.
