# [Terms of Service](https://rebilder.com/legal/terms) > The agreement between you and Rebilder: what the gateway, the Console, the scanner and the score are, what each side promises, and how either side ends it. - **Updated:** 2026-09-10 - **Author:** Rebilder LLC - **Description:** The agreement between you and Rebilder: what the gateway, the Console, the scanner and the score are, what each side promises, and how either side ends it. - **Section:** Legal - **Publisher:** Rebilder LLC ## Summary The agreement covering the Rebilder gateway, the Console, the Agent Readability Score, and the public surfaces built on it. It explains service access, fees, responsibilities and your options for ending the agreement. ## Who you are agreeing with Rebilder is operated by Rebilder LLC, a company established in the United States. In these terms "Rebilder", "we" and "us" mean that entity; "you" means the person or organisation using the service. Notices to us may be sent to legal@rebilder.com. Contact for anything legal: legal@rebilder.com. Contact for anything about data: privacy@rebilder.com. For product support: support@rebilder.com. ## Accepting these terms You accept these terms by creating a Rebilder account, installing or running the gateway, or using the scanner, the CLI, the MCP server or the badge. If you are accepting on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind it, and "you" means that organisation. You must be at least 18. Rebilder is a service for people who operate websites; it is not a consumer product. ## What the service is - **The gateway** — An SDK you install in your own stack. It detects agent requests and renders your own content as agent-readable markdown. It runs on your infrastructure under your control. Managed operation is covered by the service plan or agreement you select. - **The Console** — A hosted dashboard showing agent traffic recorded by your gateway install, previews of what an agent receives for a given URL, and install instructions. - **The Agent Readability Score (ARS)** — A published, versioned, deterministic standard that grades how well a page can be retrieved and read by a software agent, plus the tools that compute it: a public scanner, a CLI, an MCP server, and a badge. - **The public surfaces** — An opt-in public index of scores, and aggregate statistics about agent traffic. Nothing about a named third party appears on either without that domain owner opting in first. ## The gateway runs on your side - The self-hosted gateway operates independently of hosted plans and quotas. We do not meter, sample, throttle or degrade its responses. - You control and are responsible for the content and source fields you provide. - Gateway representations use your source values for prices, availability and terms. Equivalent representations of the same offer must agree. Search crawlers receive canonical HTML. - If a gateway source or renderer fails, the request passes to your normal response pipeline. The npm packages we publish, including the gateway SDK, the ARS scorer, the CLI and the MCP server, are licensed under the Apache License 2.0, whose terms govern your use of them rather than this agreement. That licence grants no rights in our trademarks: you may build on the code without using the names "Rebilder" or "ARS" for your version. We do not commit to supporting any particular version indefinitely. ## Your account and your keys - Keep your credentials and API keys secret. We store only a hash of an API key and show the key itself exactly once, so we cannot recover it for you. Rotate it instead. - Activity under your key is treated as yours. Tell us at support@rebilder.com as soon as you think a key has leaked. - Give us accurate account information and keep it current. - You are responsible for the people you invite into your organisation. ## Scanning, and what you may scan The scanner fetches a public URL from our servers and grades it. You may scan any URL that is publicly reachable without credentials. You may not use the scanner against pages behind a login, a paywall or an authorisation you do not hold, and you may not use it to generate load against a site. Our fetcher identifies itself honestly on every request and obeys a robots.txt group that names it. What it fetches, how often, and how to stop it is documented at /bots. If a site tells our scanner to go away, a scan of it returns a stated non-result rather than a grade, and we never publish the refusal as a negative. A scan result about a domain you do not control is yours to read and not ours to publish. See "Publication and removal" below. ## Understanding ARS ARS measures page readability and retrievability under a published, versioned ruleset. Results identify measured and heuristic checks. The same evidence produces the same result under the same ruleset. A score is not a certification, endorsement or verification of page facts or assistant citations; do not present it as one. ## Publication and removal Publication requires verified domain-owner opt-in. Authenticated, merchant-supplied and local scan results remain private. Published aggregates require at least 25 independent sites. Removal is free, self-serve and permanent, independent of plan or marketing preferences. See /legal/privacy for the publication and marketing rules. Remove an index entry using its removal control or contact privacy@rebilder.com from the domain. Entries are suppressed while removal requests are verified. ## Your content and data Your content stays yours. You grant us the rights needed to serve, render, analyse and display it for the service you request. We do not sell your data or train models on your content. Data use, separation between products and publication commitments are described in /legal/privacy. ## Plans and fees - Free is $0 forever and includes the gateway, unmetered and unsampled. The free Console is sized as published on /pricing; exceeding that size prompts an upgrade and does not suspend, throttle, or sample your service. - Pro and Agency are subscriptions with the price, billing period and included site capacity shown on /pricing and confirmed at checkout. Paid plans buy analysis and depth that run on our servers, never a change to what an agent receives from your site. - Custom is negotiated and governed by the order form we both sign; where it conflicts with these terms, the order form wins. - Any transaction service has separately disclosed pricing and requires your agreement before charges apply. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled and are billed in advance. Cancel any time from the Console; your plan runs to the end of the paid period and we do not refund part-months except where the law requires it. Fees exclude taxes, which you pay. Card payments are processed by Stripe, Inc.; we store a customer and subscription identifier and never see or hold your card details. Invoices and payment history are available from the billing portal in the Console. We will give at least 30 days’ notice by email before a price increase takes effect on your plan. ## Acceptable use The Acceptable Use Policy at /legal/acceptable-use forms part of this agreement. ## Availability and changes to the service Hosted surfaces are operated for continuous availability; a contractual uptime commitment is available in Enterprise agreements. We may change or withdraw hosted features; where a change removes something you rely on, we will give reasonable notice and, for paid plans, a pro-rata refund of the unused period if you choose to leave. The gateway is different: it runs in your stack, so nothing we do to our servers stops it serving. A version you have installed keeps working. ## Intellectual property We keep our software, the ARS specification and ruleset, the Rebilder name and the marks. You keep everything of yours. The ARS specification and conformance corpus are published so anyone can implement and audit the standard; that publication is not a licence to use our name or badge to imply we endorse or certify a site. Feedback you send us we may use freely, without obligation to you. ## Third-party content and complaints The scanner stores scan metadata rather than third-party page bodies. Copyright complaints follow the procedure at /legal/dmca. ## Disclaimers Except where the law says otherwise, the service is provided as is and as available, without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that a score will rise, that an assistant will cite you, or that agent traffic will convert. ## Limitation of liability Neither side is liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for lost profits or lost data, arising out of this agreement. Our total liability in any 12-month period is capped at the greater of the fees you paid us in that period and US$100. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. ## Indemnity You will cover us against third-party claims arising from your content, your use of the service in breach of these terms, or your use of a score or badge in a way this agreement forbids. ## Suspension and termination - You can close your account at any time from the Console. - We can suspend or close an account that breaches the Acceptable Use Policy, that we are legally required to close, or that is being used to attack a third party, with notice where it is safe to give notice, and immediately where it is not. - On termination we delete or return your data as described in the Privacy Policy, and accrued fees remain payable. - Your gateway install keeps running after termination; it does not phone home for permission. ## Changes to these terms We will post a revised version here and, for material changes, email account holders at least 14 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use Rebilder after that date means accepting the new version. If you do not accept it, close your account before the date and we will refund any unused paid period. ## Governing law and disputes This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. Each side waives any objection to that venue. Contact legal@rebilder.com to discuss a dispute. ## The rest If a clause is unenforceable, the rest survives. Not enforcing something once does not waive it. You may not assign this agreement without our consent; we may assign it to a successor of the business. These terms, plus the policies they reference and any signed order form, are the whole agreement between us.
