Usage Policy

§1 Scope of Application and Provider

This Usage Policy (hereinafter "Policy") governs your access to and use of the website, customer accounts, software products, application programming interfaces (APIs) and related services (collectively "Services") provided by Lennert Dirk Mueller (Sole Proprietor), operating under "faray.tech" (hereinafter "Provider", "we", "us", "our"). By creating an account, purchasing a license or API credits, downloading software, or otherwise accessing or using any of our Services, you (hereinafter "User", "you", "your") acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by this Policy in its entirety, in addition to our General Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to any part of this Policy, you must refrain from using our Services immediately.

This Policy is supplementary to our General Terms and Conditions. In the event of a conflict between this Policy and the General Terms and Conditions, the General Terms and Conditions shall prevail unless this Policy explicitly provides otherwise with respect to a specific subject matter. Terms defined in our General Terms and Conditions shall have the same meaning when used in this Policy, unless a different definition is expressly provided herein.

§2 Account & Identity

To access certain features of our Services, including but not limited to the purchase of software licenses, the acquisition of API credits, and the use of our APIs, you are required to register and maintain a customer account on our platform. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to create a user account. If you are under the age of eighteen, you may not create an account, and any account created in violation of this requirement may be suspended or terminated without notice. Where applicable law sets a higher minimum age for entering into binding contracts or for consenting to the processing of personal data, that higher age requirement shall apply.
When registering an account, submitting billing details, or updating any information associated with your account, you must provide accurate, current and truthful information. You must not use a false identity, impersonate another person or entity, or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity. If any of the information you have provided changes, you are obligated to update your account information promptly so that it remains accurate and complete at all times. The Provider reserves the right to verify the identity and the accuracy of the information provided by the User at any time and to request supporting documentation where deemed necessary.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials, including but not limited to your password, any API keys or tokens issued to you, and any other authentication mechanisms associated with your account. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account, regardless of whether such activities were authorized by you. You must notify us immediately at abuse@faray.tech if you become aware of or reasonably suspect any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. The Provider shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these security obligations.
Creating multiple accounts for the purpose of circumventing restrictions, rate limits, licensing terms, usage quotas, enforcement actions, or any other limitation imposed by the Provider is strictly prohibited. If the Provider determines, in its sole discretion, that a User has created or is operating multiple accounts in violation of this provision, the Provider reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate all accounts associated with that User, revoke any licenses granted, invalidate any remaining API credits, and take any further action it deems appropriate, including but not limited to pursuing legal remedies.
You must not share, sell, lease, lend, assign, or otherwise transfer your account to another individual, company, or other legal entity. Each account is personal to the User who registered it and must be used exclusively by that User. This restriction applies regardless of whether the transfer is made for consideration or free of charge. Accounts held by legal entities must be operated by duly authorized representatives of that entity.
The Provider reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account at any time if there is reasonable suspicion that the account is being used in violation of this Policy, our General Terms and Conditions, or applicable law. In such cases, the Provider may, at its discretion, provide prior notice and an opportunity to remedy the violation, but is not obligated to do so where the violation is severe or poses an immediate risk to the integrity of our Services or other Users.

§3 Licensing

The Provider offers various licensing models for its software products. The specific rights, restrictions, and conditions associated with each license type are set forth in the respective product description and in our General Terms and Conditions. This Policy supplements those provisions with additional rules governing your conduct in connection with our licensing models.
You must not resell, redistribute, sublicense, or otherwise make available our Services, software products, license keys, API credentials, or API credits to any third party, whether for commercial gain or otherwise, unless you have obtained the express prior written consent of the Provider. This prohibition includes, bundling our products or services with third-party offerings, acting as an intermediary or reseller. Providing access to paid services in our API through your own platform or interface is excluded from the prohibition and therefore permitted, even if you act as an intermediary or reseller in this case.
You must not use our API, our software, or any output generated by our Services to build, develop, support, or operate a product or service that directly or indirectly competes with any of our current or future offerings, without the express prior written consent of the Provider. This includes, but is not limited to, the replication of core functionality, the creation of derivative or substitute services, the cloning of features, and the use of knowledge or data obtained through the use of our Services for the purpose of developing a competing offering. If you are uncertain whether a particular use case may conflict with this provision, you are encouraged to contact us at abuse@faray.tech before proceeding.
API credits purchased from the Provider are non-transferable between accounts. You may not assign, gift, trade, or otherwise convey API credits from your account to any other account, whether belonging to you or to a third party. API credits cannot be exchanged for cash, monetary equivalents, or any other form of compensation. A payout of unused credit is not possible.
Subscription-based licenses are subject to the terms of the applicable subscription plan. Subscription licenses grant usage rights only for the duration of the active subscription period. Upon expiration or cancellation of a subscription, the associated usage rights shall cease, and the User must discontinue use of the software under that license unless a new license or subscription is obtained.
The Provider reserves the right to audit the use of its software and services to verify compliance with the applicable license terms. In the event that a User is found to be in violation of any licensing provision, the Provider may revoke the license, terminate the associated account, and pursue any available legal remedies.

§4 Payments & Billing

All purchases made through our platform, including software licenses, subscription plans, and API credits, are subject to the payment terms set forth in our General Terms and Conditions and as further specified in this section. By placing an order, you agree to pay applicable fees in full and in accordance with the payment method selected during the checkout process.
Subscription-based services automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless cancelled by the User prior to the renewal date. It is your sole responsibility to cancel your subscription before the next renewal date if you no longer wish to be billed. The Provider is not obligated to issue reminders prior to automatic renewal. By subscribing, you expressly authorize the Provider to charge the applicable recurring fee to your designated payment method at each renewal interval until you cancel.
Refunds are not guaranteed once a license key has been activated, software has been downloaded, or API credits have been used or partially consumed. Each refund request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the applicable legal provisions and the specific circumstances of the transaction.
Initiating fraudulent, unjustified, or bad-faith chargebacks or payment disputes with your payment provider, bank, or credit card company without first contacting us to resolve the matter may result in the immediate and permanent termination of your account, the revocation of all licenses associated with your account, the invalidation of any remaining API credits, and the pursuit of all available legal remedies for the recovery of the disputed amount plus any costs and fees incurred by the Provider as a result of the chargeback or dispute. The Provider encourages Users to contact us directly before initiating any payment dispute so that we may attempt to resolve the matter amicably.
In the event that a payment fails, is declined, or cannot be processed for any reason, the Provider reserves the right to suspend access to the affected Services until the outstanding payment has been received in full. Repeated payment failures may result in the termination of your account.
All prices displayed on our platform are gross prices and do not contain VAT in Germany according to §19 Para. 1 UStG (German small business regulation), unless otherwise stated. You are solely responsible for any taxes, duties, or other governmental charges that may be applicable to your purchase under the laws of your jurisdiction.

§5 Acceptable Use

You agree to use our Services, including all software products, APIs, and related tools, only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with this Policy, our General Terms and Conditions, and all applicable laws and regulations.
You must not use our software, API, or any other Service to redirect, route, or direct end-users, website visitors, or any other persons to phishing websites, malware distribution points, fraudulent pages, or any other content that is harmful, deceptive, illegal, or otherwise objectionable. The integrity and safety of end-users who interact with systems powered by our software is of utmost importance, and any misuse of our link-correction or redirection capabilities for malicious purposes will be treated as a violation of this Policy.
You must not use our Services in any manner that infringes upon, misappropriates, or otherwise violates the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of any third party. This includes, without limitation, using our Services to redirect traffic away from legitimate websites in a manner that infringes on the trademarks or other rights of the operators of those websites, or using our software in connection with domains or URLs that you do not have the legal right to manage.
You must not attempt to probe, scan, penetrate-test, or otherwise test the vulnerability of our systems, servers, networks, infrastructure, or any component thereof, nor attempt to breach or circumvent any security or authentication measures implemented by the Provider. This prohibition applies regardless of whether such activities are conducted with benign or malicious intent. If you discover a potential security vulnerability, you are encouraged to report it responsibly to abuse@faray.tech rather than attempting to exploit it.
You must not use our Services in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our servers, networks, or infrastructure, or that could interfere with, disrupt, or degrade the experience, performance, or availability of our Services for other customers. This includes, without limitation, sending an excessive number of API requests in a short period of time with the intent to overwhelm or disrupt our systems (denial-of-service attacks), automated scraping or harvesting of data from our platform beyond the scope of authorized API usage, and any other activity that places an unreasonable or disproportionate load on our infrastructure.
You may not use the source code, object code, outputs, results, data, or any other content generated by or derived from our software or API, in whole or in part, for the purpose of training, fine-tuning, evaluating, validating, or otherwise developing neural networks, machine learning models, large language models, or any other form of artificial intelligence system. This prohibition applies regardless of whether the AI model in question is developed for commercial or non-commercial purposes and regardless of whether the training data is used directly or after transformation.
You must not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, underlying algorithms, data structures, or trade secrets of our software, except to the extent that such activities are expressly permitted by applicable mandatory law notwithstanding this restriction. This provision applies in addition to and without limiting the corresponding provisions in our General Terms and Conditions.
You must not use automated tools, bots, scripts, or other automated means to interact with our platform, website, or Services in a manner that is not expressly authorized by the Provider or that exceeds the scope of your authorized API access. Authorized API usage must comply with the applicable rate limits, usage quotas, and technical guidelines set forth in our API documentation.
You must not use our Services to send, distribute, or facilitate the distribution of unsolicited communications, spam, or bulk messages of any kind, or to engage in any form of advertising or marketing activity that is not expressly authorized by the Provider.
You must not attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with any technical protection measures, license enforcement mechanisms, rate-limiting mechanisms, usage tracking systems, or other security features implemented by the Provider in connection with its Services.

§6 API Usage

You are responsible for keeping your API keys, tokens, and other credentials confidential. You must not embed API credentials in publicly accessible code repositories, client-side code, or any other location where they could be accessed by unauthorized parties. If you suspect that your API credentials have been compromised, you must regenerate them immediately and notify us without undue delay.
The Provider reserves the right to modify, deprecate, or discontinue any API endpoint, feature, or functionality at any time, with or without prior notice. While the Provider will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant changes in advance, it is your responsibility to monitor the API documentation and any communications from the Provider regarding changes to the API. The Provider shall not be liable for any disruption, loss, or damage resulting from changes to the API.
The outputs and results generated by the API are provided for your internal use in accordance with the applicable license terms.
Requests that exceed the applicable rate limits may be throttled, rejected, or result in temporary suspension of API access.
By using our API, you agree to comply with data format specifications set forth in the API documentation.

§7 Data Security

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of our Services, including any data you submit to or process through our platform or API, complies with all applicable data protection laws and regulations. This includes, without limitation, ensuring that you have a valid legal basis for the processing of any personal data, that you have provided appropriate privacy notices to data subjects, and that you have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data in accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR.
The Provider implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data processed through its Services against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, alteration, and other forms of unlawful processing. However, the Provider cannot guarantee absolute security, and you acknowledge that the transmission of data over the internet inherently involves certain security risks.

§8 Compliance & Liability

The Provider makes reasonable efforts to maintain the availability, reliability, and performance of its Services, including its website, API, and software distribution infrastructure. However, the Provider does not guarantee any specific level of uptime, response time, throughput, or service level, unless a separate service level agreement (SLA) has been concluded in writing between the Provider and the User. Scheduled maintenance, unscheduled outages, and other interruptions may occur from time to time, and the Provider shall not be liable for any loss or inconvenience resulting from such interruptions.
Our software products are designed to detect and correct typographical errors in URLs and to redirect visitors accordingly. While the Provider endeavors to deliver accurate and reliable results, the Provider does not warrant that the software or API will correctly identify and resolve every typographical error, that no false positives or false negatives will occur, or that the redirections generated by the software will always lead to the intended destination. The Provider is not liable for any lost traffic, lost revenue, lost data, reputational damage, or any other direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from incorrect redirections, missed redirections, false negatives in security checks, or any other error or malfunction of the software or API, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Our liability for damages, regardless of the legal basis (whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise), is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law. In particular, the Provider shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of business opportunities, or reputational harm, even if the Provider has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The Provider's total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or in connection with the use of the Services shall not exceed the total amount of fees actually paid by the User to the Provider during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
The limitations and exclusions of liability set forth in this section shall not apply to liability arising from intent or gross negligence on the part of the Provider, liability for injury to life, body, or health, liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable mandatory law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Provider, its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services, your violation of any applicable law or regulation, or your infringement of any rights of a third party.
The Provider reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement authorities and to disclose information as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulation.
The Provider does not provide legal advice and makes no representation that the use of its Services will ensure compliance with any particular legal requirement.

§9 Enforcement & Consequences of Violations

The termination of an account or revocation of a license pursuant resulting from violations to our policies does not entitle the User to a refund of any fees previously paid, unless otherwise required by applicable mandatory law.
The Provider's decision not to enforce any provision of this Policy in a particular instance shall not constitute a waiver of the Provider's right to enforce that provision or any other provision in the future.

§10 Modifications to this Policy

The Provider reserves the right to modify, amend, or replace this Policy at any time. Significant changes will be communicated to registered Users by email or through a prominent notice on our website at least fourteen (14) days before they take effect, unless the changes are required by law or relate to the introduction of new services or features that do not affect existing rights and obligations.
Your continued use of our Services after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Policy. If you do not agree to the modified Policy, you must discontinue your use of our Services and, if applicable, cancel any active subscriptions before the modification takes effect.

§11 Applicable Law

All legal relationships shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law shall apply only insofar as it does not deprive the consumer of the protection afforded by mandatory consumer protection provisions of the consumer's country of habitual residence.

§12 Place of Jurisdiction

The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes shall be the Provider's place of business. The Provider is additionally entitled to bring proceedings at the User's place of jurisdiction.

§13 Final Provisions

Changes and additions to this contract require text form; this also applies to the waiver of this restriction.

Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
