Terms of Service

1. Description of services

1.1 Free site and open-source code. The Site provides a directory of commerce-focused MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, compatibility data, and related technical information. Integration code made available through the Site is licensed under the MIT License (see Section 5). Access to the Site and open-source code is free of charge.

1.2 Pro subscription. For a monthly fee of $49 USD, subscribers receive access to production-hardened integration code outputs, including idempotency key injection, retry/backoff logic, and priority email support. Pro subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe").

1.3 Managed service. Managed service engagements are governed by a separate written agreement between you and us. In the absence of such an agreement, these Terms apply to the extent they are not contradicted by any written agreement.

1.4 Data API. The Site provides a public read API at /api/v1/. API access is subject to fair use limits described in Section 8.

1.5 Enterprise licensing. Enterprise plans are available at custom pricing for organisations requiring volume API access, executed Master Service Agreements, SLA commitments, security review support, or invoiced billing. Enterprise engagements are governed by a separate written Order Form and MSA between you and Dahlia47 LLC. In the absence of a signed agreement, these Terms apply. To enquire about Enterprise pricing, contact legal@commerce-bots.com.

2. Accounts and registration

2.1 Some features (including Pro subscriptions) require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account.

2.2 You represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction).

2.3 We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Pro subscription: billing, cancellation, and refunds

3.1 Billing. Pro subscriptions are billed monthly. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge the payment method on file through Stripe at the then-current monthly rate. Prices may change with 30 days' advance written notice.

3.2 Cancellation. You may cancel your Pro subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period. Access to Pro features continues through the end of the paid period.

3.3 Refunds. All fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. We do not pro-rate cancellations within a billing period.

3.4 Failed payments. If a payment fails, we may suspend your Pro access until payment is resolved. We will attempt to notify you at the email address on file.

4. Affiliate relationships and sponsored content

4.1 Affiliate disclosure. Some links on the Site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the third-party vendor at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial evaluations, compatibility assessments, or directory scores.

4.2 Sponsored listings. The Site may display sponsored or featured listings, clearly labelled as "Sponsored." Sponsored placement is a paid service and does not affect a server's evaluated score or any other editorial assessment. Sponsored entries are evaluated identically to non-sponsored entries under the Commerce MCP Production Readiness Standard.

5. Open-source code and MIT licence

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100 USD).

7.3 BASIS OF BARGAIN. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION REFLECT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US. WE WOULD NOT HAVE PROVIDED THE SERVICES WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.

7.4 ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

8. Acceptable use and API terms

8.1 You agree not to:

• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable regulations;
• Systematically scrape, harvest, or extract the Site's directory data or API responses for the purpose of building a competing commercial product;
• Use automated means to access the API at rates that materially degrade the Site's performance for other users;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any portion of the Services;
• Resell or sublicence access to the API or any data obtained from it without our prior written consent;
• Misrepresent your affiliation with any platform or vendor listed on the Site.

9. Third-party services and platforms

The Site references and provides integration code for third-party services including Shopify, Stripe, ShipStation (Auctane), Google UCP, and others. These are independent companies. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them unless explicitly stated. Their names and marks are their respective property and are used on the Site for identification purposes only under nominative fair use.

Use of third-party platforms through any integration code we provide is subject to those platforms' own terms of service. We are not responsible for changes to third-party APIs, deprecations, access revocations, or any damage resulting from reliance on third-party services.

By submitting a pull request, issue, or other contribution to the public repository at github.com/Commerce-bots-com/commerce-bots, you represent that you have the right to contribute the content, and you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and distribute the contribution as part of the Site and its open-source codebase.

14. Governing law and dispute resolution

14.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

14.3 Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

15.2 Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed, with the remainder of the Terms continuing in full force.

15.3 No waiver. Failure to enforce any right does not constitute a waiver of that right.
