Terms of Service

1. Agreement

By creating an account, using an API key, or otherwise accessing Goma (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, you agree on its behalf. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

Goma provides an API that returns structured, publicly available LinkedIn profile data for a profile URL you submit, plus a dashboard to manage API keys and credits. The Service is provided "as is". Third-party platforms can change at any time, which may affect what data is available or how the Service works.

3. Accounts and API keys

• Provide an accurate email address and keep your account secure.
• Keep your API keys secret. You are responsible for all usage made with your keys, including usage by anyone you share them with.
• If a key is exposed, revoke it in the dashboard right away. Credits used before revocation are not refunded.
• One person or company per account. Do not create multiple accounts to collect additional free credits.

4. Credits and payments

• Prepaid credits. Usage is paid for with prepaid credits. One successful profile lookup uses one credit. Lookups that return no profile or fail are not charged.
• Free credits. New accounts receive 500 free credits on signup. Free credits have no cash value.
• Paid credits. Credits are sold in one-time packs, not subscriptions — you are never charged automatically. Paid credits are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase; unused credits expire after that.
• Payments. Payments are processed by Stripe. Prices are in USD unless stated otherwise.
• No refunds. Purchased credits are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash, except where required by law.
• Price changes. We may change prices and pack sizes. Changes apply only to future purchases; credits you have already bought keep the terms they were sold under.

5. Usage limits

Each account may run up to 5 concurrent requests. Requests beyond the limit, or traffic that degrades the Service for others, may be rejected (for example with HTTP 429) or throttled. Contact us if you need higher throughput.

6. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for how you use the data you receive. You agree to:

• Comply with all applicable laws, including data-protection laws such as the GDPR and CCPA.
• Use the data only for legitimate business purposes, and obtain any consent required before contacting individuals.
• Accept responsibility for any outreach or decisions you make using the data.

Goma does not provide legal advice. Consult your own counsel about whether your use complies with the law and with third-party platform terms.

7. Prohibited uses

You may not:

• Use the Service for spam, harassment, discrimination, or any unlawful purpose.
• Resell, sublicense, or offer the Service or its raw output as a competing data or API product without our written permission.
• Share API keys publicly or embed them in client-side code.
• Attempt to bypass usage limits, credit metering, or security controls.
• Reverse engineer, disrupt, or overload the Service or its infrastructure.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, API design, documentation, and website, is owned by Goma. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that the data returned will be complete, accurate, or current.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GOMA IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Goma harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms or of any law, or any outreach you conduct using data obtained through the Service.

12. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers, including for hosting, infrastructure, and payments (Stripe). We are not responsible for their availability or practices, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms.

13. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or use the Service in a way that risks harm to Goma, other users, or third parties. If we terminate your account for a breach, unused credits are forfeited. You may close your account at any time by emailing us.

14. Changes

We may update the Service and these Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes by email or in the dashboard. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

15. General

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Goma about the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent.
