Last updated

Version
1.0
API Terms

This document is currently being prepared and is not yet effective. It is a draft of Tarseek’s intended legal framework. It does not create a binding contract, privacy notice, or other legal obligation until Tarseek publishes an effective version and users agree to it where required.

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of Tarseek, including the website, hosted Chat, APIs, documentation, accounts, and related services (the “Service”).

The Service is operated by Mahmoud Chaer from Beirut, Lebanon (“Tarseek”, “we”, “us”). Tarseek is not a registered company. There is no registered office. Contact is by email at legal@tarseek.com. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to the other policies that apply, including the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and, if you use the API, the API & Developer Terms.

NOT YET EFFECTIVE — Operator

Tarseek is operated by Mahmoud Chaer from Beirut, Lebanon and is not incorporated. This will be updated if a company is formed. These Terms are not effective until an effective date is published.

2. Eligibility

The intended default position is:

  • You must be at least 18 years of age.
  • You must have the legal capacity to enter a binding contract.
  • If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.
  • The Service may not be available in every jurisdiction. Tarseek may restrict access where legally required or operationally necessary.

IMPLEMENTED — Age gate

Signup requires users to confirm that they are at least 18. Existing users must also confirm this before continuing into authenticated product areas.

3. Definitions

Tarseek
The Service and, as context requires, the legal entity that operates it.
Service
Websites, APIs, hosted Chat, dashboards, documentation, and related Tarseek offerings.
User
An individual who accesses the Service.
Customer
A User or Organization that holds a Tarseek account and is responsible for its use of Tarseek and third-party Model Providers.
Organization
A company or other entity that uses the Service through an organization account.
Authorized User
A person permitted by a Customer to use the Service under that Customer’s account.
API
Tarseek’s application programming interfaces and related developer tools.
API Key
Credentials issued to authenticate API requests.
Provider Credential
A secret supplied by the Customer so Tarseek can call a Model Provider on the Customer's behalf.
Model
An AI model available through the Service, typically identified by a public model ID.
Model Provider
A third party that develops, hosts, or otherwise supplies a Model or inference endpoint.
Deployment
A specific offering of a Model on a provider or infrastructure, which may have its own pricing, region, and capabilities.
Input
Content you submit to the Service, including text, code, supported documents, files, images, and parameters.
Output
Content returned by a Model or the Service in response to an Input.
User Content
Inputs, Outputs stored in hosted features, files, Chat content, Memory, and similar customer-supplied or customer-generated material.
Chat
Tarseek’s hosted conversation interface, if used.
Conversation
A stored Chat thread and its messages, titles, attachments, and metadata.
Memory
Optional persistent information retained across Conversations, if offered.
File
An uploaded or attached object processed or stored in connection with the Service.
Usage
Metered consumption of Models or other Service features.
Third-Party Service
A Model Provider, cloud host, or other non-Tarseek service used in providing Tarseek.

4. Account registration

You must provide accurate account information and keep it current. You are responsible for activity under your account, including activity by Authorized Users.

If you use Google, GitHub, or Microsoft to sign in, you authorize that provider to share the account information shown on its consent screen with Tarseek. Your use of that provider remains subject to its own terms and privacy policy.

You must protect credentials and promptly notify Tarseek of unauthorized access. Tarseek may reject, restrict, merge, or suspend accounts that are duplicate, fraudulent, automated, or created to evade limits, sanctions, or prior enforcement.

Organization accounts, if offered, are owned by the Organization. Personal accounts are owned by the registering individual unless validly transferred under a process Tarseek provides.

REQUIRES IMPLEMENTATION — Account controls

Target capabilities: accurate registration, credential security notices, organization accounts, duplicate/fraud detection, and suspension workflows.

5. API keys

API Keys and Provider Credentials are confidential. You must not share them publicly or embed them in client-side code. You are responsible for provider usage and charges incurred through credentials you supply, except to the extent caused by Tarseek's breach of these Terms.

Tarseek may revoke, rotate, suspend, restrict, rate-limit, or disable API Keys when reasonably necessary, including for security, abuse, fraud, provider requirements, legal requirements, compromised credentials, or unusual traffic.

IMPLEMENTED — Key lifecycle

Users can create, restrict, rotate, disable, and revoke Tarseek API keys. Project managers can save, replace, disable, and remove supported Provider Credentials without retrieving the stored secret.

6. Tarseek’s role

Tarseek provides a gateway and related tools for accessing AI services from third-party Model Providers. Tarseek does not necessarily own any Model, operate provider infrastructure, control Model behavior, control provider uptime, control provider retention or training practices, or control provider safety systems. Outputs are produced by Models that Tarseek does not fully control.

7. Third-party provider terms

Use of a particular Model or Deployment may also subject you to the provider’s terms, acceptable-use policy, privacy policy, model license, geographic restrictions, age restrictions, and other limitations. Tarseek may enforce provider-specific rules, including by refusing, routing away from, or disabling a Model or Deployment.

See the Model Provider Data Practices page. Provider facts that have not been verified are marked unknown and must not be assumed to be the most privacy-protective option.

8. Routing

You choose an explicit Model. Tarseek uses only that Model's designated primary Deployment and the matching Provider Credential supplied by your project. Tarseek may:

  • reject a request when the primary Deployment or Provider Credential is unavailable;
  • exclude unavailable, non-compliant, or restricted Deployments.

IMPLEMENTED — BYOK-only enforcement

Customer inference requires a compatible project-owned Provider Credential. Tarseek never sends it through a Tarseek-owned provider credential or silently fails over to another Deployment.

9. Model availability

Tarseek does not guarantee permanent access to any Model, provider, or Deployment. Tarseek may add, remove, rename, or deprecate Models; change the designated primary Deployment; temporarily disable Models; or restrict Models by geography.

10. Availability of Tarseek

Tarseek does not guarantee uptime, uninterrupted access, response time, streaming continuity, or provider availability. There is no service-level agreement. Maintenance, outages, and third-party failures may occur.

The intended initial posture is: no contractual uptime SLA for ordinary self-service users.

11. AI output disclaimer

AI Outputs can be incorrect, incomplete, misleading, fabricated, outdated, offensive, harmful, biased, or otherwise unsuitable. You must independently verify information that matters. Outputs may not be unique; other users may receive identical or similar Outputs. Tarseek does not guarantee that any Output is factual, non-infringing, or fit for a particular purpose.

See the AI Transparency Notice.

12. High-risk and professional uses

The Service is not designed as a substitute for professional advice or as a control system for safety-critical operations. You must not rely on Outputs as the sole basis for medical, legal, financial, employment, credit, insurance, or other high-impact decisions, or for safety-critical systems or critical infrastructure, except where a provider expressly permits the use and you implement appropriate human review, testing, and legal compliance.

Provider-specific restrictions may be stricter than this baseline. You are responsible for complying with them.

13. User content

You represent that you have all rights and lawful bases needed to submit User Content, which may include text, code, images, files, audio, video, and personal information. You are responsible for Inputs and for how you use Outputs. You must not submit content that violates the Acceptable Use Policy or applicable law.

Files must not contain malware, unlawful material, or content that infringes privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or intellectual-property rights. Tarseek may validate, scan, reject, quarantine, or remove files to protect the Service or comply with law. File storage is a convenience, not a backup service: supported formats, limits, and availability may change, and you should retain your own originals.

14. License to Tarseek

You grant Tarseek a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, receive, transmit, process, temporarily cache, route, store as needed to operate hosted features, secure, detect abuse, troubleshoot, and return User Content, solely to provide and protect the Service and to comply with law.

This license is not a grant of a perpetual right for Tarseek to train its own foundation models on your API content. Tarseek’s intended business model is a gateway, not training on customer API prompts by default.

For non-temporary hosted Chat, you permit Tarseek to use future conversations to evaluate and improve its models and services unless you disable that use in Settings. Temporary Chats are excluded. API Inputs and Outputs may be used for model improvement only when the project owner explicitly enables sharing and confirms authorization. Disabling either setting stops future collection for that purpose.

IMPLEMENTED — Model-improvement controls

Chat and API sharing are separate. Chat is enabled by default with an account-level opt-out; API sharing is disabled by default and requires an authorized project-owner opt-in.

15. Output ownership

As between Tarseek and you, Tarseek does not claim ownership of your Inputs and does not unnecessarily claim ownership of Model Outputs. However:

  • rights in Outputs may depend on the underlying Model Provider and model license;
  • copyright law varies by jurisdiction;
  • AI-generated Output may not always qualify for copyright protection;
  • similar Output may be generated for other users;
  • you remain responsible for ensuring your use of Outputs is lawful.

16. Feedback

If you voluntarily provide ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about Tarseek, Tarseek may use that feedback without restriction or obligation to you, and without granting you rights in Tarseek’s products.

17. Tarseek intellectual property

Tarseek and its licensors retain all rights in the Tarseek name, branding, software, website, documentation, interfaces, databases, and proprietary systems. These Terms do not transfer Tarseek intellectual property except for the limited right to use the Service as permitted.

Third-party Model names, logos, and trademarks belong to their owners. Listing a provider does not imply partnership, endorsement, or sponsorship. See the Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy.

18. Suspension

Tarseek may suspend accounts, API Keys, Models, or features for abuse, fraud, security risk, provider requirements, sanctions, legal demands, compromised credentials, prohibited use, or excessive harmful traffic.

19. Termination

You may stop using the Service and, when the product supports it, request account deletion. Tarseek may terminate these Terms or your access where permitted by these Terms or law.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by nature should survive—including IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law, and outstanding obligations—survive termination.

IMPLEMENTED — Account deletion

Users can request account deletion in Settings. Access is disabled immediately and deletion runs in the background. Residual backups, legal holds, and security records may persist where required.

20. Warranty disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all Outputs are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted operation. Tarseek does not warrant Model Provider performance.

Nothing in these Terms limits non-excludable consumer rights under applicable law.

21. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tarseek and its affiliates, officers, and suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages; lost profits; lost data; business interruption; reliance on AI Output; third-party Model failure; or provider downtime, even if advised of the possibility.

REQUIRES LEGAL DECISION — Liability cap

Because the Service does not charge for model use, liability is not capped at fees paid. A fixed cap will be inserted here before these Terms become effective. The amount is not set. The cap will not limit liability that cannot legally be limited.

22. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify Tarseek against claims arising from your unlawful activity, infringement caused by your User Content or applications, unauthorized data, provider-policy violations, misuse, downstream applications, or API-key compromise caused by you, except to the extent caused by Tarseek’s willful misconduct.

REQUIRES LEGAL DECISION

Final indemnity language and enforceability depend on governing law and customer type (consumer vs business).

23. Force majeure

Tarseek is not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including third-party Model Provider outages, cloud or infrastructure failures, utility failures, labor disputes, war, terrorism, epidemics, government action, or denial-of-service attacks.

24. Changes

Tarseek may modify the Service and these Terms. Material changes to an effective version should be notified by reasonable means (for example email or in-product notice). Continued use after the effective date of an updated version constitutes acceptance where permitted by law. Prior effective versions will be archived.

IMPLEMENTED — Versioned acceptance

Tarseek stores the document version, user, event, source, wording, and timestamp. Publishing a new required version causes users without that version to be prompted again.

25. Governing law

  • Legal entity: Mahmoud Chaer, operating Tarseek from Beirut, Lebanon
  • Registered office: No registered office. Location: Beirut, Lebanon
  • Governing law: Laws of Lebanon
  • Court/arbitration: Courts of Beirut, Lebanon. No arbitration clause.

REQUIRES LEGAL DECISION

These Terms are governed by the laws of Lebanon. Disputes are brought in the courts of Beirut. There is no arbitration clause. Mandatory consumer rights are preserved. This choice should be reviewed before the Terms become effective.

26. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the policies they incorporate, are the entire agreement for the Service. Tarseek does not currently offer a separate enterprise agreement. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Tarseek may assign these Terms in connection with a corporate transaction. You may not assign without Tarseek’s consent, except to a successor that assumes your obligations. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
