AI Detector API provides an API service for detecting AI-generated text content. The service allows developers to integrate AI detection capabilities into their applications via HTTP REST endpoints. The service is provided on an "as-is" basis, and we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the service at any time.

Rate Limiting

Free tier accounts are limited to 1,000 requests per month. Pro and Enterprise tiers have higher limits as specified in the pricing page. We reserve the right to enforce rate limits and throttle requests that exceed reasonable thresholds.

Abuse Prevention

We monitor API usage to detect and prevent abuse. Accounts exhibiting suspicious patterns (e.g., distributed requests from multiple IPs, automated scraping) may be suspended without notice.

4. User Accounts and Authentication

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your API keys and account credentials. You agree not to share your API keys with third parties or expose them in client-side code. Any unauthorized use of your account is your responsibility. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account.

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into this agreement.

  • Illegal activities or activities that violate any applicable laws or regulations

  • Reverse engineering, decompiling, or attempting to derive the underlying algorithms
  • Bulk reselling or redistribution of the service without authorization
  • Violating intellectual property rights of others
  • Activities that harm minors or exploit children

Violation of this policy may result in immediate account termination and legal action.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

The AI Detector API, including all source code, algorithms, documentation, and related materials, is the property of AI Detector API and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the service for your internal business purposes.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL AI DETECTOR API BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from or relating to these terms or the service shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

8. Warranty Disclaimer

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE" BASIS. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free. AI detection results are probabilistic and may not be 100% accurate. We make no guarantees regarding accuracy rates or performance metrics.

9. Service Uptime and Availability

While we strive to maintain high availability, we do not guarantee 99.9% uptime or any specific level of service availability. For information about our current service status, please visit status.aidetectorapi.com.

We may perform scheduled maintenance, and we will attempt to provide advance notice via email and the status page. Emergency maintenance may be performed without notice.

10. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the API immediately, without prior notice or liability, if you violate any provision of these terms or engage in behavior we determine to be harmful or inappropriate.

Upon termination, your right to use the API ceases immediately. We may delete your account data 30 days after termination, unless required to retain it by law.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the United States.

12. Dispute Resolution

Before initiating legal action, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at support@aidetectorapi.com. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree to submit to binding arbitration rather than litigation.
