:: Maenen Labs Terms of Use and Privacy Policy

0. Beta Status

The Maenen APIs (collectively, “the Service”) are currently provided as beta releases. This means:

• functionality may change.
• features may be added, modified, or removed.
• availability is not guaranteed.
• the Service may be withdrawn at any time.

By using the Service, you acknowledge and accept its beta status.

1. Legal Notices

➤ Proprietary Technology Notice

These APIs expose proprietary mechanisms and behaviours that are trade secrets of Maenen Labs Ltd. Use of these APIs is governed by these Terms of Service. Reverse engineering, systematic probing, and derivative construction of competing services are prohibited and may result in key revocation and legal action.

➤ Receipt Usage & Interpretation

Where an endpoint returns a receipt, it provides evidence of work performed rather than an internal algorithm disclosure. Other endpoint families return inline evidence or references. Clients should follow the documented response contract and should not infer internal semantic metrics beyond documented fields and state bands.

➤ Abuse Detection & Protection

Requests may be monitored for patterns resembling exhaustive inputs or probing behaviour. Keys exhibiting such patterns may be throttled or revoked without further notice to protect the integrity of the Service.

2. Permitted Use

You may use the Service to:

• submit data for the intended purposes.
• receive contract-defined outputs, inline evidence, receipts or evidence references.
• evaluate suitability for your systems and workflows.

You agree not to:

• use the Service for unlawful purposes.
• attempt to reverse engineer internal mechanisms.
• interfere with or disrupt the Service.
• use the Service to process data you do not have the right to submit.

3. API Access & Keys

• API access is permission-gated during beta.
• API keys are issued manually and remain the property of Maenen Labs Ltd.
• Keys may be revoked at any time without notice.
• You are responsible for keeping your API key secure.

Sharing or abusing API keys may result in their immediate revocation and suspension of any associated user account.

4. Data Handling & Responsibility

You retain responsibility for all data you submit to the Service.
You confirm that:

• you have the right to submit the data.
• the data does not violate applicable laws or third-party rights.

Do not submit:

• sensitive personal data.
• regulated data, unless you have confirmed suitability.

Receipts are provided for informational and auditing purposes only and do not constitute a warranty, certification, or guarantee.

5. Outputs & Receipts

Response shape varies by endpoint family and may include a composed output, inline evidence, a signed receipt, or a reference to retained evidence.

These materials are provided for informational and auditing purposes only and do not constitute a warranty, certification, grant of authority or guarantee.

6. No Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”.
Maenen makes no warranties regarding:

• accuracy.
• fitness for a particular purpose.
• uninterrupted availability.
• error-free operation.

Use of the Service is at your own risk.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Maenen Labs Ltd. and its representatives shall not be liable for:

• loss of data.
• loss of profits.
• any direct, indirect, or consequential damages arising from use of the Service.

Use of the Service is at your own risk.

8. Changes to These Terms

These Terms may be updated from time to time.
Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Please return regularly to review any changes and determine whether they remain acceptable for your continued use of the Service.

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Maenen Labs Ltd. handles information submitted through the Maenen API Suite during its beta releases.
Maenen Labs' goal is to collect the absolute minimum data necessary to operate and improve the Service.

2. Data You Submit

When you use the Service, you may submit:

• text or structured payloads.

• Submitted payloads are processed to perform the requested operation and generate its contract-defined output or evidence.
• You remain the controller of your data.

3. Data Retention

During beta:

• Raw submitted content is processed transiently where the endpoint contract permits and is excluded from ordinary application logging.
• Account identifiers, token hashes, sessions, usage, receipts, evidence references, payment and idempotency records may be retained for:
  • service operation and billing.
  • abuse prevention.
  • debugging and improvement.

Maenen Labs has no intention of storing, selling, or commercially exploiting data submitted to the APIs or MeaningSystem. The Service is offered for evaluation, while limited records may be retained to identify and address abuse as described above.

4. Logs & Metadata

To operate and develop the Service, we may retain limited metadata, such as:

• request timestamps.
• payload size metrics.
• receipt fields.
• error information.

Raw submitted content is not intentionally included in ordinary application logs.

This data is used solely to:

• operate the Service.
• ensure stability and integrity.
• improve measurement fidelity.

5. Cookies & Tracking

Bearer-authenticated API calls do not depend on browser session cookies.
The website's prepared human-account flow uses a server-managed session cookie, and the website may use other minimal technical storage required for basic operation. No advertising cookies are used.

6. Data Sharing

Maenen Labs Ltd. does not share submitted payloads with any third parties, except where required by law.

7. Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect the Service. However, no system can be guaranteed to be fully secure. Do not submit data that would cause harm if exposed.

8. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• ensuring that you have the right to submit the data.
• complying with applicable data protection laws relevant to your use.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the Service evolves. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
