      "title": "Parties & Acceptance",
      "summary": "Using the Service, including having a deployed agent call the API, accepts these Terms. Under UETA/E-SIGN electronic-agent rules, deploying an agent is the principal's acceptance; each request and payment binds you."

      "title": "Service Description — Informational Only",
      "summary": "gitBeacon sells GitHub trend intelligence: daily LLM-analyzed digests of trending new repositories and the raw trending-repo data behind them, aggregated from public GitHub data. Output is for information only and is not investment, engineering, security, or business advice. LLM-generated analysis may contain errors."

      "id": "data-sources",
      "title": "Data Sources & Freshness",
      "summary": "Underlying repository data is derived from public GitHub activity. Digests and repo rows reflect the most recent daily scan and may be incomplete, delayed, or stale; every paid response carries a scanDate/digestDate provenance field. gitBeacon does not warrant completeness or accuracy."

      "id": "payment",
      "title": "Payment Terms",
      "summary": "Paid endpoints are priced per call in USD and settled as USDC via x402 on Base Mainnet. Current per-call prices are the machine-readable ones at /discovery and /openapi.json (the binding source) — no price table is duplicated here to avoid drift. Free endpoints require no payment. Compute-first / settle-after means you are not charged for errors. No bundles or subscriptions."

      "id": "refunds",
      "title": "Refund Policy",
      "summary": "The Service settles only after successfully computing a billable answer, so charge-without-delivery should not occur; where a settled payment fails to deliver, the automated x402 failure path applies. Otherwise all sales are final."

      "title": "Privacy",
      "summary": "Request parameters are processed to produce the response and are not linked to a person. Payment settlement facts (payer address, tx hash) may be logged for accounting. gitBeacon does not collect owner, registrant, or end-user personal data."

      "id": "acceptable-use",
      "title": "Acceptable Use",
      "summary": "No unlawful use. No circumventing rate limits or payment. Free endpoints are rate-limited; abusive traffic may be throttled or blocked. Underlying public GitHub data remains subject to GitHub's own terms."
