1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Word Orb API ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. "You" refers to any individual or entity using the API.

2. Description of Service

Word Orb provides stored, AI-assisted English vocabulary records, with translations and other fields where available, alongside lesson, quiz, and text endpoints. Translation coverage spans a subset of the English headwords and varies by language. Records are not independently human verified. Evaluate the returned fields for your intended use.

3. API Keys & Accounts

Access requires an API key (prefixed wo_). Each account receives one key. You are responsible for key security. Do not share, publish, or embed keys in client-side code. Compromised keys should be regenerated immediately via /api/keys/regenerate.

4. Usage Tiers

7. Data Retention

API request logs: 90 days. Usage analytics: 12 months. Account data: until deletion. We do not store personally identifiable information beyond your email address. See our Privacy Policy.

8. Rate Limiting & Fair Use

Rate limits are enforced per API key per day (and per minute for free tier). Sustained abuse triggers automatic throttling. Enterprise customers may negotiate custom limits.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. LOTD PBC DOES NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. Educational content is for informational purposes and does not constitute professional linguistic or pedagogical advice.

10. Limitation of Liability

LOTD PBC's total liability shall not exceed the fees you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate with 30 days written notice. We may suspend access immediately for Terms violations. Upon termination, you may request data export within 30 days. API keys are revoked upon termination.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Orange County, California.
