Effective: March 19, 2025
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and SmartBuyers AI, Inc. ("SmartBuyers AI," "we," or "us"). These Terms govern your access to and use of our website located at https://smartbuyers.ai (the "Website"), as well as our products and services offered through the Website, including web interfaces, application programming interfaces ("APIs"), tools, software, documentation, content, and intellectual property (collectively, our "Services").
By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and acknowledge that you have read and understand any referenced policies, including our Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must discontinue use of our Services immediately.
If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
1. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time at our sole discretion. Any changes will be effective 7 days after posting on the Website unless immediate updates are required by law. If you continue to use the Services after the changes take effect, it means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, you must discontinue use of the Services before the effective date.
2. Accessing the Services and Account Security
To access certain features of the Services, you may be required to register for an account ("Account") and provide accurate, current, and complete information. You agree to update your information as necessary to keep it accurate and complete.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials, including any passwords, API keys, or other authentication details. You must not share your credentials with any third party or allow unauthorized access to your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, notify us immediately at [email protected].
We reserve the right to disable any username, password, or other identifier at our sole discretion if we believe you have violated these Terms. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services with prior notice, except where immediate action is necessary for security or legal compliance. If your account is terminated, we will provide at least 7 days’ notice to allow you to retrieve your data, unless immediate termination is required by law or security concerns.
You may close your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Closing your account does not relieve you of any obligations or liabilities incurred prior to termination.
