Terms of Service

Last updated: April 12, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the JSON Recon API, MCP Server, or website ("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

JSON Recon provides an API for extracting validated schema.org JSON-LD structured data from web pages. The Service is available via API Key authentication and the x402 payment protocol (USDC on Base network).

3. Pricing and Payment

• Full extraction requests are billed at $0.01 per request. Lite extraction is $0.005 per request via x402 or $0.01 per request via API Key.
• API Key users prepay credits via Stripe. Credits are non-refundable except when automatically refunded due to extraction failures (WAF blocks, error pages, or service errors).
• x402 users pay per-request via USDC micropayments on the Base network.
• The free /check endpoint, /health endpoint, and discovery endpoints incur no charges.

4. Automatic Refunds

If the Service fails to extract useful data due to WAF blocks, CAPTCHA pages, or internal errors, API Key credits are automatically refunded. x402 payments are processed on-chain and cannot be refunded programmatically.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws.
• Attempt to bypass rate limits, authentication, or payment mechanisms.
• Submit URLs that intentionally target private, internal, or restricted network addresses.
• Resell extracted data without proper attribution to the original source URLs.

6. Rate Limits

The Service enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage. Exceeding rate limits may result in temporary blocking. Current limits are displayed in API response headers.

7. Data Handling

• The Service caches extraction results temporarily to improve performance. Cached data is automatically expired.
• We store your email address and API key hash for account management. We do not sell or share personal information with third parties.
• Extraction logs may be retained for operational monitoring and debugging purposes.

8. No Warranty / Service Level

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee uptime, accuracy of extractions, or availability of any specific feature. Extraction quality depends on the target website's content, structure, and anti-bot protections.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, JSON Recon shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenue, arising from your use of the Service.

10. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of modified terms.
