Effective Date: February 1, 2026
By accessing or using the Anchora platform, APIs, documentation, website, or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service. Your continued use of the Service following any updates to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.
Anchora provides blockchain infrastructure APIs that enable developers and organizations to build tamper-proof applications. Our Service allows you to anchor data to blockchain networks, verify data integrity, and generate cryptographic proofs -- all through simple REST API calls.
The Service includes, but is not limited to:
Anchora is currently in an early-stage release. Features, pricing, and availability may change as we continue to develop the platform.
To use the Service, you must create an account and obtain API keys. When registering, you agree to:
You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and API keys, whether or not authorized by you. Anchora reserves the right to suspend or revoke API keys that are compromised, abused, or used in violation of these Terms.
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You shall not:
Anchora reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action against any violations of this section, including suspending or terminating your account without prior notice.
Your use of the Anchora API is subject to rate limits and usage quotas based on your subscription plan. These limits are designed to ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all users.
Rate limits, quotas, and pricing tiers are detailed in our API documentation and may be updated from time to time. You are responsible for monitoring your usage and staying within your plan's allocated limits.
If you exceed your rate limits or usage quotas:
We encourage you to implement appropriate error handling and retry logic in your applications to account for rate limiting. If your use case requires higher limits, please contact us to discuss custom plans.
The Service, including all software, APIs, documentation, trademarks, logos, and related content, is owned by Anchora and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in the Service.
Your Data: You retain all rights, title, and interest in the data you submit to the Service. By using the Service, you grant Anchora a limited, non-exclusive license to process your data solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.
Feedback: If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant Anchora a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use such feedback for any purpose, including improving the Service, without obligation or compensation to you.
Your privacy matters to us. Our collection, use, and handling of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:
For detailed information about our data practices, please review our Privacy Policy.
Anchora strives to provide a reliable and available Service, but as an early-stage platform, we do not currently offer guaranteed uptime or formal Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
The Service is provided on a "best effort" basis. You acknowledge that:
As the platform matures, we intend to introduce formal SLAs for applicable subscription plans. Until then, the Service should not be relied upon as the sole mechanism for mission-critical operations without appropriate contingency measures.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
In no event shall Anchora, its officers, directors, employees, agents, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, business opportunities, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise.
Anchora's total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to Anchora during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, Anchora's liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
You may terminate your account and stop using the Service at any time by contacting us or through your account settings.
Anchora may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, including but not limited to:
Upon termination, your right to use the Service will cease immediately. Anchora may, at its discretion, provide a reasonable period for you to export your data. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination -- including Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law -- shall continue in effect.
Anchora reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will:
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must discontinue use of the Service before they take effect.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Anchora is incorporated, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If a resolution cannot be reached, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the applicable arbitration authority in Anchora's jurisdiction, unless you are located in a jurisdiction that grants you the right to bring claims in a local court.
Nothing in these Terms shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for matters involving intellectual property rights, confidentiality obligations, or unauthorized access to the Service.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding these Terms of Service, please reach out to us through our Contact page.
We aim to respond to all inquiries within a reasonable timeframe. For urgent matters related to account security or API key compromise, please indicate the urgency in your message.
