Terms of Service

Service

Defuddle provides a web content extraction API that converts web pages to clean Markdown. The service is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use the service to:

• Violate any applicable laws or regulations
• Scrape content in violation of the source website's terms of service
• Overload the service with excessive automated requests
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits or other restrictions
• Redistribute extracted content in ways that violate copyright

API keys and payments

Defuddle offers paid API keys for higher usage limits. API keys are purchased in request blocks (e.g. 1,000 or 10,000 requests) as one-time payments through Stripe. There are no subscriptions or recurring charges.

• API keys are delivered immediately after payment and are non-transferable
• Purchased request balances do not expire
• All sales are final. No refunds
• You are responsible for keeping your API key secure. We cannot replace keys that are lost or compromised

Free tier and rate limits

Unauthenticated API requests are rate-limited to 1,000 requests per month per IP address. Exceeding this limit will result in temporary access restrictions. Paid API keys are limited only by their purchased request balance.

Availability

We make no guarantees about service uptime or availability. The service may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice.

Content

Defuddle processes publicly available web content on your behalf. We do not claim ownership of any content extracted through the service. You are responsible for ensuring your use of extracted content complies with applicable copyright and licensing terms.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Defuddle and its maintainers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Changes

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
