Bowmark — Terms of Service
Last updated: September 24, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you", "your", or "Customer") and Bowmark AI Inc. ("Bowmark", "we", "us", or "our"), a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, governing your access to and use of the Bowmark service, including our website, API, MCP server, documentation, any Custom Work, and any related software or output (collectively, the "Service").
By accessing or using the Service, by creating an account, or by connecting an AI agent or client to the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization.
1. Definitions
- "Output" — the structured data, envelopes, logs, traces, and any other content the Service returns, including content retrieved from third-party websites on your behalf.
- "Agent" — any AI system, model, automated client, script, or software that you operate or that consumes the Output, whether directly or via the API or MCP server.
- "Script" — the JavaScript you or your Agent submit to the Service to be executed.
- "Capability" — a function the Service exposes to a Script that retrieves data from one or more Target Sites.
- "Target Site" — a third-party website or service that the Service visits, or interacts with, in the course of running a Script.
- "Custom Work" — anything we build, configure, host, or operate for you specifically at your request, including a dedicated portal or subdomain, an integration, a Script or set of Scripts, an automation, or a deployment, together with its code, output, and any accounts or credentials it uses on your behalf.
- "Dataset" — any bulk data export or licensed dataset, which is governed by a separate Data License Agreement and not by these Terms.
2. The Service
The Service exposes a library of typed Capabilities and executes Scripts written against it. You (or your Agent) submit a Script; we run it on our own infrastructure; the Capabilities it calls retrieve data from Target Sites; and we return the result to you.
The Service acts on your behalf, at your direction. This is a change from earlier versions of these Terms, which described a reference tool that executed nothing. It is no longer accurate and you should read this section carefully:
- We execute your Script and we make the requests. Requests to Target Sites originate from our infrastructure and our network egress, not from you or your Agent.
- You direct what happens. We do not choose which Capability to call, with what inputs, or how often. Your Script does. You are responsible for the instructions you give the Service exactly as you would be for requests you made yourself.
- We do not review Scripts before running them. Execution is automated.
How a Script runs. A Script executes in an isolated JavaScript sandbox with limits on CPU, memory and wall-clock time. It has no filesystem, no network of its own, and no ability to import code; its only means of doing anything is the Capabilities we provide. We describe this so you understand the boundary — it is a description of how the Service is built, not a warranty that the sandbox cannot be defeated. No isolation is perfect and we do not represent otherwise.
Your rights in your Script. You retain all right, title and interest in the Scripts you submit. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to use a Script solely to execute it, return its result to you, keep the run record described in the Privacy Policy, and secure and operate the Service. We do not use your Scripts, inputs, or results to train models, and we do not licence them to anyone else.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. The Service is provided on an "as available" basis with no guarantee of uptime, availability, or continuity.
2A. Custom Work
Where we provide Custom Work, it is part of the Service, and these Terms apply to it in full, alongside any order form, statement of work, or other written agreement for it (which controls where it conflicts with these Terms).
- You choose the purpose. Custom Work is built to your specification and for the purpose you describe. You are responsible for that purpose, for how Custom Work is used, and for the accounts, content, and instructions you give it, exactly as you are for a Script you submit yourself.
- Your representations. You represent, each time you request or use Custom Work, that its purpose and use comply with applicable law and with the terms of every Target Site it touches, and that you hold every permission, licence, or authorization a Target Site or account holder requires for it. You will give us a copy of any such authorization on request, and you will tell us promptly if one is withdrawn.
- Where we host or operate it. If Custom Work runs on our infrastructure or acts through accounts you control, it does so at your direction and on your behalf. Section 8 (Indemnification), including Sections 8.2 and 8.3, applies to any claim, demand, or cost arising from it.
- Liability. Section 7 applies to Custom Work. Fees you pay for Custom Work count toward the cap in Section 7.2.
- Our right to decline or stop. We may decline to build any Custom Work, and we may suspend, modify, or stop operating it at any time under Section 12, including if a Target Site, account holder, or other third party objects, or if we believe it may breach Section 5. Where we do so because of a breach of Section 5 or of your representations above, you are not entitled to a refund of fees paid for it.
- Acceptance. We may ask you to accept these Terms, or an updated version, when you first sign in to a portal or other Custom Work, and we may record that acceptance.
3. Eligibility, accounts, and account security
You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction and capable of forming a binding contract. The Service is intended primarily for business and developer use. Where you use the Service other than for purposes of a business, certain provisions below are modified for you under Section 15 (Consumers).
You are responsible for: (a) maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and API keys; (b) all activity occurring under your account or keys; and (c) promptly notifying us of any unauthorized use. We are not liable for loss arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.
Use without an account. If you call the API or MCP server without signing in, or with a key obtained without an account, these Terms still apply to you in full, and "your API keys" includes any key or session issued to you or to your Agent.
Identity verification. We may, at any time, ask you to verify your identity, your organization, your payment method, or your intended use, and we may limit, pause, or refuse access until you do. You will give us accurate information and keep it current.
4. Nature of the Output — Critical safety acknowledgement
You must read and accept this section before relying on the Service.
4.1 No guarantee of accuracy. The Output is generated by automated systems and large language models observing third-party sites that change without notice. The Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or wrong, and following it may produce unintended results.
4.2 Output is derived from third-party content you do not control. Output is retrieved from content on Target Sites. That content is outside our control and may include text, markup, metadata, or instructions placed there by the site operator or by third parties.
4.3 Risk of injected, adversarial, or malicious content. Because Output is derived from third-party sites, it may contain, reflect, or be influenced by adversarial, deceptive, injected, or malicious content (including but not limited to prompt-injection content, instructions designed to manipulate an AI system, or instructions that, if executed, could cause harm). We do not warrant that Output is free of such content, and we cannot detect or remove all such content.
4.4 Your Agents act autonomously and at your risk. You acknowledge that:
(a) any Agent you operate acts under your control and on your responsibility; (b) you are solely responsible for what your Agents read, trust, and execute; (c) you will independently validate Output before any consequential action; (d) you will operate Agents under the principle of least privilege (minimal permissions, scoped credentials, spending and rate limits); (e) you will sandbox and supervise Agents and maintain meaningful human oversight for any action that is irreversible, financial, destructive, or otherwise material; and (f) you will not connect the Service to systems where injected or inaccurate Output could cause harm without adequate safeguards.
4.5 We are not responsible for downstream effects. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible or liable for any action taken (or not taken) by you, your Agents, or any third party in reliance on the Output, including any harm to your systems, AI models, agents, data, accounts, finances, or any third party. The decision to act on Output, and all consequences of acting on it, are yours.
4.6 You are the operator; you assume the risk. You — and not Bowmark — are the operator and deployer of any Agent, and you are the party that decides whether, when, and how to act on the Output. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume the entire risk arising from your access to and use of the Service and the Output and from any action your Agents take. Nothing in the Service creates any advisory, professional, fiduciary, or agency relationship between you and us, and the Output is not professional, legal, financial, medical, or other advice.
4.7 Your accounts on Target Sites. Many Target Sites run bot-detection or anti-automation systems, and a site may challenge, restrict, suspend, or permanently close an account it believes is being used by automated means. That includes any account you connect to the Service, sign in to through the Service, or let a Script or Custom Work act through, and any account we create or operate for you at your request. Those decisions are made by the Target Site, not by us, and we cannot predict, prevent, or reverse them. You acknowledge that:
(a) automated use of an account on a Target Site carries this risk even when the Service is working as intended, and even when you believe the site's terms allow your use; (b) you choose which accounts to use with the Service, and you use them at your own risk; (c) we are not responsible for, and will not compensate you for, any challenge, verification demand, rate limit, restriction, suspension, or closure of a Target Site account, or for anything lost with it, including content, data, followers, reputation, balances, credits, purchases, subscriptions, or access to other services linked to that account; and (d) we have no obligation to help recover or reinstate an account, and any appeal is between you and the Target Site.
5. Acceptable use
You will not, and will not permit any Agent or third party to:
- use the Service to access, attack, overload, disrupt, probe, or gain unauthorized access to any system, including any Target Site;
- use the Service or Output to violate any law, regulation, or third party's rights, or any Target Site's terms;
- submit a Script that attempts to escape the sandbox, exhaust or artificially consume Service resources, mine cryptocurrency, or use the Service as a general-purpose proxy, relay, or tunnel;
- use the Service to circumvent authentication, paywalls, access controls, rate limits, or technical protection measures;
- target the Service at content behind a login or at private, internal, localhost, or RFC1918 network resources except your own and as the Service permits;
- use the Service to generate, facilitate, or conceal fraud, spam, harassment, malware, or other harmful or unlawful activity;
- use the Service for botting or other abusive automation, including automated account creation, credential stuffing, ticket or inventory scalping, fake engagement, click or ad fraud, review manipulation, or any automated activity a Target Site prohibits;
- reverse engineer, scrape, resell, or build a competing product from the Service except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
- exceed rate limits, share keys, or evade usage metering;
- create a new account, obtain a new key, or otherwise return to the Service after we have suspended or terminated your access, without our written permission;
- use the Service in violation of Canadian, United States, or other applicable export-control or sanctions laws, or on behalf of any person or in any country subject to those sanctions; or
- misrepresent your identity or your authority to act for an organization.
Permitted integration. Notwithstanding the "resell" restriction above, Customer may integrate Capabilities of the Service into Customer's own product or agent and permit Customer's end users to use the Service through that product or service. This restriction applies to redistributing the Service or Capabilities as a standalone offering or library and to building a competing capability library, not to Customer's own integration and resale of the Service to Customer's end users.
Your duty regarding Target Sites, before you run. Because the Service makes requests on your behalf, the responsibility for whether those requests are permitted is yours:
- You will read the terms of use, robots directives, and any other access rules of each Target Site you direct the Service at, before you direct it there.
- A site may prohibit automated access. It is your responsibility to check for that prohibition for each site, each time, and not to direct the Service at a site that prohibits your intended use.
- You represent that each run you initiate is authorized by the applicable terms of the Target Sites it reaches.
- We provide the Capability. We make no representation that any particular use of it is lawful or permitted by any Target Site, and we are not liable for your use of the Service or of the data it returns.
Where a Capability requires you to sign in to a Target Site, you confirm the account is yours or that you are authorized to use it, and that using it through the Service does not breach that site's terms. The risk that the site restricts or closes that account is yours, as described in Section 4.7.
We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate access without notice. You are responsible for your Agents' conduct as if it were your own.
Responsibility for misuse. You are solely responsible for any malicious, abusive, fraudulent, or unlawful activity carried out through the Service using your account, your API keys, or your Agents, including botting, denial-of-service, spam, unauthorized access, and any breach of a Target Site's terms. This is so whether you carried out the activity yourself, directed an Agent to carry it out, or allowed someone else to use your account or keys. The Service is a tool that you direct. Bowmark does not take part in, approve, or endorse what you do with it. As between you and Bowmark, that activity is yours, and any complaint, demand, takedown notice, claim, or legal proceeding arising from it is to be resolved with you, as described in Section 8.
Your own users. If you let your own customers, employees, or other end users direct the Service through your product, account, or keys, you are responsible for them exactly as you are for yourself. You will bind them to terms at least as protective of Bowmark as this Section 5, and you will stop any of them who break those terms.
No duty to monitor; our right to refuse. We are not obliged to monitor, review, or screen Scripts, runs, or Output, and our choice to monitor, investigate, or act on some activity does not make us responsible for any other activity. We may, at any time and at our discretion, refuse, throttle, or stop any run, and block any Script, Capability, Target Site, account, or key. We may keep records of suspected misuse and report it to affected Target Site operators or to law-enforcement authorities.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, conditions, and representations, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. To the extent the Service or any Output is treated as the supply of goods, we disclaim the implied conditions and warranties of the Sale of Goods Act (British Columbia) and any equivalent legislation, at common law, or under any other statute, to the maximum extent those terms may be excluded for non-consumer transactions.
Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that: (a) the Output is accurate, complete, current, lawful, or fit for any purpose; (b) the Service or Output is free of adversarial, injected, malicious, or harmful content; (c) the Service will be secure, uninterrupted, error-free, or available; or (d) use of the Output will achieve any particular result or comply with any Target Site's terms or any law.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted, and see Section 15.
7. Limitation of liability
7.1 Exclusion of indirect damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we (or our owners, directors, employees, contractors, or suppliers) be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or business, or for any damage to, compromise of, or malfunction of any AI system, model, agent, software, device, account, or downstream system, or for any action taken by an Agent in reliance on the Output, or for any challenge, restriction, suspension, or closure of an account you hold with a Target Site, in each case however caused and under any theory of liability (including negligence), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages, and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
7.2 Aggregate cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) CAD $1,000.
7.3 Basis of the bargain. The disclaimers and limitations in Sections 6 and 7 are a fundamental basis of the bargain between us and reflect a reasonable allocation of risk; the Service would not be provided on these terms without them. They apply regardless of the form or cause of action (whether in contract, tort including negligence, strict liability, breach of statutory duty, or otherwise), even in the case of a fundamental breach or breach of a fundamental term, and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
7.4 Carve-outs. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law, including liability for fraud, for gross negligence or willful misconduct where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded, or for personal injury or death caused by our negligence. See Section 15 for consumer rights.
7.5 Assumption of risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume the entire risk arising from your access to and use of the Service and the Output. This Section 7, together with Sections 4 and 6, allocates the risk between us in a manner that is reflected in the fees and is a condition of providing the Service.
7.6 Time limit for claims. To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be commenced within twelve (12) months after the event giving rise to it, failing which it is permanently barred, notwithstanding any longer statutory limitation period. This Section 7.6 does not apply to the extent it is not permitted by applicable law, and does not apply to consumers to the extent it is unenforceable against them (see Section 15).
8. Indemnification
8.1 Indemnity. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Bowmark AI Inc. and its owners, directors, officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, fine, penalty, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service or Output; (b) any action by you or your Agents on any website or system, and any request the Service made to a Target Site because a Script you or your Agent submitted directed it to — the requests originate from our infrastructure, but the instruction to make them is yours; (c) your violation of these Terms, any law, or any third party's rights (including any Target Site's terms or intellectual-property, privacy, or trademark rights); (d) content or instructions you provide; or (e) any malicious, abusive, fraudulent, or unlawful activity carried out through your account, your API keys, or your Agents, including botting and other automated activity a Target Site prohibits.
8.2 Third-party claims about your activity are directed to you. If a Target Site operator, rights holder, regulator, law-enforcement agency, or any other third party contacts us, makes a demand of us, or brings a claim or proceeding against us about activity that originated from your account, your API keys, or your Agents:
(a) we may tell that party that the activity was directed by a customer of the Service, and refer them to you so the matter can be pursued with you directly; (b) we may identify you and disclose relevant account information and run records to that party where we reasonably believe it is required by law or valid legal process, or reasonably necessary to respond to or defend the matter, as described in our Privacy Policy; (c) you will cooperate fully and promptly, at your own expense, including by responding to that party and giving us any information we reasonably request; (d) we may control our own defence with counsel of our choosing, and you will not settle any matter in a way that imposes an obligation on, or makes an admission for, Bowmark without our prior written consent; (e) you will reimburse our reasonable costs of responding to and defending the matter, including legal fees, as they are incurred; and (f) we may suspend the related account or API keys while the matter is unresolved.
8.3 Costs of misuse and enforcement. If activity through your account, your API keys, or your Agents breaches Section 5, you will pay our reasonable costs of investigating and remediating it. Those costs include incident response, replacing or rehabilitating network addresses that were blocked, and any fees, penalties, or charges our infrastructure, proxy, or other service providers impose on us because of that activity. You will also pay our reasonable costs, including legal fees, of enforcing these Terms against you. We may invoice these amounts, and may set them off against any prepaid fees, credits, or other amounts we hold for you.
8.4 Survival and consumers. This Section survives termination. For consumers, this Section applies only to the extent permitted by applicable consumer-protection law (see Section 15).
9. Intellectual property
As between you and us, we own all rights in the Service, the software, and our trademarks. Subject to these Terms and your payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access the Service and to use the Output for your internal business purposes. We make no representation that the Output (or any content within it derived from an Target Site) is free of third-party intellectual-property rights — see Section 4 and the Data License Agreement for derived data. You retain ownership of content you provide to us, and you grant us a license to use it as needed to operate the Service.
10. Third-party services and sites
The Service visits and interacts with third-party Target Sites at your direction, and relies on third-party providers (for example authentication, hosting, storage, network egress, and challenge-solving — the current list is in the Privacy Policy, §6). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party sites or services, their content, availability, accuracy, or terms. Your use of any Target Site through the Service is between you and that site's operator and is subject to that site's terms.
Where you access the Service through an AI assistant. If you use Bowmark through a third-party AI assistant or client, that provider is not our agent and we do not control it. What it does with the Output we return to it is governed by its own terms and privacy policy, not ours. Linking a Bowmark account to such an assistant is optional; the Service can be used without linking one.
11. Fees, billing, and taxes
Paid plans (such as the Pro plan and the Data subscription) are billed as described at the point of purchase. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe, through its hosted checkout and billing portal; we do not receive or store your full payment-card details. Unless stated otherwise: fees are in the currency shown, are exclusive of taxes (which you are responsible for), and are non-refundable except where required by law. Paid subscriptions renew automatically for successive billing periods at the then-current price until cancelled; you may cancel at any time through the billing portal, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. If a payment is refunded, the related access ends. We may change pricing prospectively. Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination. (Bulk Datasets are billed and governed under the separate Data License Agreement.)
12. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, including for suspected violation of these Terms or risk to the Service, other users, or third parties. You may stop using the Service at any time. If we suspend or terminate your access because of a breach of Section 5, you are not entitled to a refund of any prepaid fees or unused credits, except where a refund is required by law, and we may preserve the records relating to that breach for as long as reasonably needed to deal with any resulting claim. On termination, your license ends and Sections that by their nature should survive (including 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, and 16) survive.
13. Privacy
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. We track usage and session information as described there. (Note: bulk Datasets are governed by the separate Data License Agreement.)
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and give reasonable notice (for example, in-product or by email). We may require you to review and accept the updated Terms before you continue to use the Service or specific features, and we may suspend, limit, or terminate your access if you do not accept them. If you do not accept a change, your remedy is to stop using the Service and, if you have a paid plan, to cancel it. For paid subscriptions, a material change takes effect at the start of your next billing period — your current paid period continues under the version you accepted — so you may decline a change by not renewing. Non-material changes may take effect when posted, and your continued use after they take effect constitutes acceptance. Nothing in this Section overrides any non-waivable right you have, including any consumer right to notice of — or to reject — a unilateral amendment (see Section 15).
15. Dispute resolution, governing law, and consumers
15.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
15.2 Business users — arbitration and class-action waiver. If you use the Service for business purposes, then except for claims for injunctive relief or intellectual-property infringement: (a) any dispute will be resolved by final and binding arbitration seated in Vancouver, British Columbia, in English, under the rules of the Vancouver International Arbitration Centre (VanIAC); and (b) disputes will be resolved individually, and you waive any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative proceeding.
15.3 Consumers. If and to the extent you are a "consumer" under applicable Canadian consumer-protection law (including British Columbia's Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act and, where applicable, Quebec's Consumer Protection Act): (a) nothing in these Terms waives, limits, or overrides any non-waivable right or remedy you have under that law; (b) the arbitration and class-action-waiver provisions in Section 15.2 do not apply to you to the extent they are unenforceable against consumers; (c) you may bring eligible claims in the courts otherwise available to you; and (d) the limitations and disclaimers in Sections 6, 7, and 8 apply only to the extent permitted against consumers. These consumer provisions control over any conflicting provision in these Terms.
15.4 Courts. Subject to the above, you and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in British Columbia.
16. General
- Entire agreement. These Terms (with the Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the Data License Agreement) are the entire agreement between us regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements.
- Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest remains in effect.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, merger, or sale.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Relationship. No partnership, agency, or employment relationship is created.
- Notices. We may provide notices via the Service or to your account email. Contact us at legal@bowmark.ai.
