5. Pricing and Billing

5.1 Subscription Plans

The Service is offered under subscription plans as described on our Pricing page. Plan details, including compute unit allocations, feature access, and pricing, are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

5.2 Payment

Paid plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. Payment is processed through Stripe. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the applicable fees to your payment method. All fees are stated in US Dollars and are non-refundable except as expressly stated herein or required by law.

5.3 Overage

If you exceed your plan's compute unit allocation, additional usage may be charged at the overage rate specified in your plan, or your access may be rate-limited until the next billing cycle, depending on your plan configuration.

5.4 Price Changes

We may change our prices with at least 30 days' notice. Price changes take effect at the start of the next billing cycle. Your continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

6. Service Level Agreement

For paid plans, Bootnode targets the following service levels:

  • Growth Plan: 99.9% monthly uptime for API endpoints
  • Enterprise Plan: 99.999% monthly uptime with custom SLA terms as specified in your enterprise agreement

Uptime is measured as the percentage of minutes in a calendar month during which the API endpoints are available and responsive. Scheduled maintenance windows (announced at least 48 hours in advance) and force majeure events are excluded from uptime calculations.

If we fail to meet the applicable SLA in any calendar month, you may request a service credit. Credits are calculated as a percentage of your monthly fee proportional to the downtime experienced, up to a maximum of 30% of your monthly fee. Service credits are the sole and exclusive remedy for SLA failures.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, documentation, APIs, trademarks, and content, is owned by Bootnode and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

You retain ownership of any application code, content, or data you create using the Service. You grant us a limited license to process your data as necessary to provide the Service.

8. Data and Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service complies with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR where applicable.

9. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to protect the confidential information of the other party with the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information. Confidential information includes API keys, account credentials, pricing terms, and any non-public technical or business information shared between the parties.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BOOTNODE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO BOOTNODE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE.

Bootnode does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of blockchain data provided through the Service. You are responsible for independently verifying any data critical to your application.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bootnode and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party rights; or (d) your application or content.

13. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time through the dashboard or by contacting support. Upon termination, your access to the Service will be revoked and your API keys will be deactivated.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for cause, including violation of these Terms, non-payment, or upon receiving a valid legal order. We will provide reasonable notice where practicable.

Upon termination: (a) all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease; (b) you remain liable for any fees incurred prior to termination; (c) sections regarding intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law survive termination.

14. Modifications to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes at least 30 days in advance via email or a notice on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any modification constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Service and terminate your account.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

  • Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
