TERMS OF SERVICE

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Bouncer API and website at usebouncer.dev ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Bouncer provides a file upload malware scanning REST API. Users upload files via the API, which are scanned using multiple detection engines and results are returned asynchronously.

3. Account and API Keys

• You must authenticate via Google OAuth to create an account.
• You are responsible for keeping your API keys secure. Do not share them publicly.
• We may revoke API keys or suspend accounts that violate these terms.
• You must not create multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Upload files that you do not have the right to scan.
• Use the Service to distribute, host, or store malware.
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits or usage quotas.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service.
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
• Resell or redistribute the Service without written permission.

5. File Handling and Data Retention

• Uploaded files are stored temporarily for scanning purposes only.
• Files are automatically deleted within 24 hours of upload.
• Scan metadata (file name, size, hash, verdict) is retained for your scan history.
• We do not access, read, or use the content of your files for any purpose other than malware scanning.

6. Service Availability

We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for any damages resulting from scanning inaccuracies, false positives, or false negatives.

7. Usage Limits and Pricing

• Free tier includes 500 scans per month with a 25 MB file size limit.
• Usage limits reset on the first of each month (UTC).
• We reserve the right to change pricing and limits with 30 days notice.

8. Limitation of Liability

Bouncer is a detection tool, not a guarantee of security. We are not responsible for any damage caused by malware that our engines fail to detect, or for any business decisions made based on scan results. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for violation of these terms. You may delete your account at any time by contacting support. Upon termination, your API keys will be revoked and scan history may be deleted.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. Material changes will be communicated via email or dashboard notification.
