Terms of Service
Last updated: July 28, 2026
A. Alpha Release — Assumption of Risk
A.1. Alpha status. The Service is made available in an alpha state, for evaluation and testing. While the Service is functional, it remains early in its lifecycle: it may change or be withdrawn without notice, may be interrupted, and may contain defects. It is not intended for production use, for business-critical workloads, or for processing sensitive, regulated, or personal data.
A.2. No warranties. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. We make no representation or warranty as to security, confidentiality, availability, integrity, accuracy, or fitness for any purpose, and we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
A.3. No compliance certifications. We make no representation that the Service complies with any standard, framework, or regulation, including SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001, GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, or PCI DSS. No audit has been performed and no certification exists. No data processing agreement, business associate agreement, or standard contractual clauses are offered or in effect. Do not submit data whose handling is subject to any such requirement.
A.4. Assumption of risk. You use and evaluate the Service entirely at your own risk, and you accept all liability, loss, cost, and damage arising from that use. This expressly includes any security incident, unauthorized access, intrusion, breach, data loss, data corruption, disclosure of data, service interruption, or loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, or data, whether or not we were negligent and whether or not we were advised of the possibility. You have no recourse against us in respect of any of the foregoing, and you waive all claims arising from it to the fullest extent permitted by law.
A.5. Harm you cause. If your use of the Service causes or contributes to any such event — including a breach, outage, data loss, or exposure affecting us, another user, or any third party — that is your responsibility, and you will indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless against it in accordance with, and in addition to, Section 6.
A.6. Temporary; controlling. This Section applies while the Service is in alpha and will be replaced by standard commercial terms when it leaves alpha. Until then, this Section controls and prevails over any conflicting provision of these terms. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

2. Disclaimer of Liability
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
The owners, operators, and contributors of this service shall not be held liable for any damages, losses, or consequences arising from the use or misuse of this service. This includes, but is not limited to:

- API keys and associated account information
- URLs accessed through the service
This data may be disclosed to law enforcement agencies upon valid legal request, including but not limited to subpoenas, court orders, or other lawful demands.
We reserve the right to cooperate fully with law enforcement investigations and may proactively report suspected illegal activity.
4. Acceptable Use Policy
You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of this service complies with the terms of service of any websites you access through our platform.
You agree not to use this service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:
- Scraping content that requires authentication without proper authorization
- Collecting personal data without consent or legal basis (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
- Circumventing security measures, CAPTCHAs, or access controls
- Excessive request rates that could disrupt target websites (DDoS-like behavior)
- Scraping healthcare, financial, or government systems without authorization
- Redistributing copyrighted content obtained through the service
- Any activity that violates applicable laws or regulations
We reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate accounts engaged in prohibited activities without notice or refund.
5. No Guarantee of Access
We do not guarantee the ability to access, scrape, or retrieve content from any particular website. Websites may block requests, change their structure, or implement anti-bot measures at any time. We are not responsible for failed scrapes, incomplete data, or changes to target website availability.
6. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the owners, operators, and affiliates of this service from any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:
- Your use or misuse of the service
- Your violation of these terms
- Your violation of any third-party rights, including website terms of service
- Any content you collect, process, or distribute using the service
- Any legal action brought against us due to your activities
7. Network Infrastructure; Shared IP Addresses; Attribution
7.1. The Service performs scraping requests by routing your traffic through third-party residential proxy infrastructure (the “Proxy Infrastructure”). The Internet Protocol addresses through which your requests egress (the “Shared IP Addresses”) are operated by one or more third-party providers, are shared among users of the Service and other parties, rotate automatically and without notice, and are neither allocated to, reserved for, nor under the control of you or us.
7.2. You are solely responsible and liable for every request and all traffic you originate through the Service, and for all activity conducted through any Shared IP Address in connection with your requests, regardless of the specific address used to fulfill any given request.
7.3. You will not use the Service in any manner that could reasonably be expected to cause any Shared IP Address or the Proxy Infrastructure to be blocked, throttled, rate-limited, blacklisted, or otherwise flagged, or that could subject us, any provider of the Proxy Infrastructure, any other user, or any third party to liability, investigation, or reputational harm.
7.4. We make no representation or warranty as to the origin, geography, ownership, reputation, or availability of any Shared IP Address, and we are not liable for any consequence arising from the characteristics of, or any third party’s treatment of, the Shared IP Addresses.
8. Data Metering; Fees; Pass-Through of Notices and Demands
8.1. Metering. Usage of the Service is measured by the volume of data transferred over the network in connection with your requests, as recorded by us. Such data transfer is counted whether or not any individual request succeeds, completes, or returns usable results. You acknowledge that failed, partial, retried, and blocked requests nonetheless consume data and are measured and chargeable on the same basis as successful requests.
8.2. Fees. To the extent fees apply to your use of the Service, data transferred is the unit of measure on which such fees are based. Our records of data transferred are, absent manifest error, determinative for billing purposes.
8.3. Pass-Through of Notices and Demands. We may forward to you, and you agree to accept, any abuse complaint, takedown notice, cease-and-desist demand, subpoena, fine, penalty, assessment, claim, or other notice or legal demand that we receive and that arises out of or relates to your use of the Service. You agree to promptly assume, respond to, defend, and satisfy each such matter at your sole expense, and to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against it in accordance with, and in addition to, Section 6. This Section does not obligate us to forward any matter and does not waive any right we may have to respond to any matter directly.
9. Prepaid Balances; No Refunds; Forfeiture
9.1. Prepaid balances. Access to the Service may require you to fund a prepaid balance in advance. Amounts you add to that balance are consumed as you use the Service, measured as described in Section 8. A prepaid balance is not a deposit, is not held on your behalf, earns no interest, and has no cash value except as consumed through use of the Service. When your balance reaches zero, the Service stops until you add further funds or, where you have expressly enabled it, continue on credit under Section 9.4.
9.2. No refunds. Amounts added to a prepaid balance, and subscription fees, are non-refundable, whether or not the balance has been consumed and whether or not you continue to use the Service. We may, at our sole discretion, consider a refund or credit where you believe mitigating circumstances apply. To request review, contact us at hello@uelabs.ai. Considering such a request creates no obligation to grant it and does not waive this Section as to any other amount or occasion.
9.3. Forfeiture on termination for cause. If we terminate or permanently block your account for breach of these terms — including the Acceptable Use Policy in Section 4 — any remaining prepaid balance is forfeited in full and is not refunded. This does not apply to a temporary suspension: where access is suspended and later restored, your balance is unaffected and is unchanged when the suspension lifts. The review path in Section 9.2 remains available.
9.4. Usage beyond a zero balance. If you expressly enable it, the Service may continue past a zero balance and bill the additional data you consume at our then-current metered rate, up to a monthly limit we set and may change. Because data is measured continuously and the limit is applied as it is reached, the amount billed may exceed that limit slightly. You are responsible for all data consumed under this Section, including that excess.
9.5. Data consumed as your balance reaches zero. Data transfer is measured continuously and settled periodically, so a small amount of data may be delivered in the interval between your balance reaching zero and the Service stopping. You are charged for that data, and it is added to your next invoice, whether or not you have enabled the option in Section 9.4. This amount is limited by how quickly the Service stops after your balance is exhausted, and is ordinarily a fraction of one cent. Except as described in this Section, no charge arises once your balance reaches zero unless you have enabled Section 9.4.
9.6. Changes to rates. Our rates may change. A prepaid balance is denominated in currency rather than in data, so a change in rates changes the amount of data a funded balance will purchase. Rate changes apply to balances already funded.
10. Modifications
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the service after modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
11. Governing Law
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict of law principles.
