Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using Oruk, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you are using Oruk on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

2. The service

Oruk provides live broadcast intelligence, public and paid APIs, story pages, transcripts, streams, dashboards, alerts, developer tools, and related compute or inference services. Oruk may add, change, suspend, or remove features as the product evolves.

Oruk is not an emergency alert system, official government source, financial adviser, legal adviser, or professional newsroom of record. The service is designed to surface source-linked signals quickly; users are responsible for evaluating the information before acting on it.

3. Accounts and security

You are responsible for activity under your account, API keys, tokens, and sessions. Keep credentials confidential, use reasonable safeguards, and notify us promptly if you believe an account or key has been compromised. We may suspend or limit accounts that create security, abuse, billing, reliability, legal, or operational risk.

4. API, streaming, and compute usage

You may use Oruk APIs and compute endpoints only within documented rate limits, plan limits, and authorization requirements. You may not:

• Bypass authentication, quotas, metering, billing, access controls, or technical limits.
• Probe, scan, disrupt, overload, reverse engineer, or interfere with Oruk systems.
• Use Oruk to generate spam, malware, credential harvesting, deceptive content, or illegal activity.
• Misrepresent Oruk data as official, fully verified, or human-reviewed when it is not.
• Resell Oruk outputs or access in a way that violates these terms or a separate written agreement.

We may rate limit, throttle, refuse, or reject requests to protect reliability, user safety, legal compliance, or platform integrity.

5. Content and source material

Oruk processes public and licensed source material, live broadcast-derived signals, user requests, system metadata, and model outputs. Third-party source material remains subject to the rights and restrictions of its original owners and publishers.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Oruk outputs for your internal or permitted product use, subject to your plan and these terms. You are responsible for how you use, display, store, redistribute, or rely on outputs.

If you submit prompts, content, or data to Oruk, you represent that you have the rights needed to do so and grant Oruk the limited rights needed to process it, provide the service, secure the service, debug issues, and enforce these terms.

6. Accuracy, latency, and availability

Oruk is built for speed and source-linked corroboration, but automated systems can be wrong, incomplete, delayed, unavailable, or misclassify events. Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, Oruk is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without guaranteed uptime, latency, completeness, profitability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose.

7. Plans, payments, and billing

Paid plans, usage limits, trials, renewals, and pricing are shown on the site, in Stripe checkout, or in a separate written order. Payments are processed by Stripe. Unless required by law or stated in a separate agreement, fees are non-refundable and subscriptions renew until canceled.

If payment fails, a trial expires, usage exceeds plan limits, or billing information is invalid, we may limit, suspend, or terminate paid features.

8. Intellectual property

Oruk and its software, designs, documentation, trademarks, systems, models, workflows, and original content are owned by Oruk or its licensors. These terms do not transfer ownership of Oruk technology or brand assets. Feedback may be used by Oruk without restriction or compensation.

9. Third-party services

Oruk depends on third-party infrastructure, model, payment, analytics, and communication providers. Their services may have their own terms and availability constraints. Oruk is not responsible for third-party services outside our control.

10. Suspension and termination

You may stop using Oruk at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these terms, create risk, fail to pay, or use the service in a way that harms Oruk, users, infrastructure, source partners, or third parties. Sections that by nature should survive termination will survive, including payment obligations, IP, disclaimers, limits of liability, and dispute terms.

11. Disclaimers and limits of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Oruk disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and availability.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Oruk will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, trading losses, business interruption, or reputational harm. Oruk's aggregate liability for claims relating to the service will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid Oruk in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim.

12. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Oruk from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of the service, your content, your outputs, your violation of these terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Venue for disputes will be in state or federal courts located in Delaware unless another written agreement applies.

14. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of Oruk after updated terms become effective means you accept the updated terms.
