Terms of Service

Last updated: June 8, 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of Rusl, including our websites, APIs, CLI tools, MCP integrations, schema publishing and storage features, annotation systems, hosted services, paid plans, marketplace or commercial features, and related products and services (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is operated by Rusl, Inc. ("Rusl", "we", "us", and "our").

By creating an Account, accessing the Service, publishing or using content through Rusl, or using Rusl APIs, CLI, MCP tools, agents, or integrations, you agree to these Terms.

If you use Rusl on behalf of an organization, company, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" includes that entity.

PLEASE READ SECTION 34 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION) CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND RUSL TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, AND IT CONTAINS A CLASS-ACTION AND JURY-TRIAL WAIVER. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 34, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

1. What Rusl Is

Rusl is a collaborative platform for creating, publishing, discovering, versioning, annotating, and using JSON schemas and related schema artifacts. Rusl supports public and private schemas, versioned bundles, annotations, proposals, agents, humans, CLI workflows, MCP integrations, and other tools for building reusable and interoperable data contracts.

Rusl is designed to make shared contracts and shared understanding easier. It is not a guarantee that any schema, annotation, bundle, implementation, recommendation, ranking, trust signal, or integration is correct, safe, complete, legally compliant, maintained, or appropriate for your use case.

2. Definitions

Account means a Rusl user account, organization account, service account, agent account, bot account, or other identity recognized by Rusl.

Account Name means a username, organization name, namespace, package name, schema name, or other account- or resource-identifying name made available through Rusl.

Content means anything submitted, uploaded, published, created, stored, linked, generated, annotated, proposed, displayed, indexed, distributed, or otherwise made available through the Service, including schemas, schema versions, bundles, annotations, proposals, comments, documentation, examples, metadata, issue discussions, account profiles, names, logos, code, prompts, configuration, usage instructions, policies, generated artifacts, and marketplace materials.

Public Content means Content you make public or otherwise make available to the public ecosystem through Rusl.

Private Content means Content you mark private or restrict to a particular Account, organization, team, or permitted audience.

Usage Data means metadata, telemetry, service records, logs, analytics, feature usage, billing metrics, API/CLI/MCP request patterns, storage and bandwidth metrics, dependency graph data, install/download counts, latency, errors, validation outcomes, abuse/security signals, and aggregate or derived signals about use of the Service. Usage Data does not include the substantive contents of Private Content, except where processed as permitted by these Terms.

Additional Terms means supplemental terms, order forms, enterprise agreements, marketplace terms, beta terms, security policies, acceptable use policies, privacy policies, or feature-specific terms that apply to particular products, plans, accounts, transactions, or features.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to use Rusl. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use Rusl only with permission from a parent or legal guardian where required by law.

You are responsible for:

providing accurate account information;
keeping your credentials secure;
all activity under your Account;
all activity by users, members, administrators, agents, bots, API clients, MCP clients, scripts, automation, service accounts, and third-party integrations using your Account, credentials, tokens, or permissions; and
complying with these Terms and applicable law.

You must promptly notify Rusl if you believe your Account, credentials, API keys, tokens, devices, agents, or integrations have been compromised.

Rusl may require stronger authentication, additional verification, credential rotation, token revocation, agent verification, or other security measures where appropriate.

4. Organizations and Administrators

Rusl may allow organization Accounts, teams, members, owners, administrators, service accounts, and agent identities.

Organization owners or administrators may manage membership, permissions, organization-owned schemas, agents, service accounts, billing, settings, access, transfers, and deletion for that organization. Rusl may rely on actions taken by organization owners or administrators as authorized by the organization. Organization administrators do not control private schemas owned by a user's personal Account unless those schemas are transferred to or otherwise shared with the organization.

Additional organization, enterprise, or team governance terms may apply to certain plans or features.

5. Account Names, Namespaces, and Squatting

Account Names and namespaces are important trust signals in Rusl. You may not claim or use names in a way that is misleading, infringing, impersonating, abusive, confusing, deceptive, or intended primarily to block another person or organization from using a name.

Rusl may reserve, restrict, rename, reclaim, reassign, suspend, transfer, or otherwise manage Account Names, namespaces, schema names, organization names, package names, and related identifiers for reasons including:

trademark, brand, or impersonation concerns;
squatting or bad-faith reservation;
confusing or misleading use;
inactivity;
abuse, spam, security, or trust concerns;
commercial conflicts;
platform integrity;
legal obligations; or
names Rusl determines should be reserved for system, product, community, partner, or public-interest reasons.

Rusl does not guarantee that any particular Account Name or namespace will remain available to you forever.

6. Your Ownership of Content

You retain ownership of Content you create or submit to Rusl, subject to any licenses, permissions, or access settings you choose and the rights granted in these Terms.

You are responsible for your Content. You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit, publish, license, annotate, use, and authorize Rusl and others to use your Content as described in these Terms.

You must not submit Content that violates law, infringes intellectual property rights, violates privacy rights, exposes secrets or credentials, breaches confidentiality obligations, or otherwise violates these Terms.

7. License You Grant to Rusl

To operate, provide, secure, improve, promote, and develop the Service, you grant Rusl a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, copy, cache, index, parse, validate, render, display, publish, distribute, transmit, reformat, transform, analyze, process, make available, and otherwise use your Content as reasonably necessary or useful to provide the Service and exercise rights under these Terms.

This license includes the right to:

make Public Content available through the website, APIs, CLI, MCP tools, package/schema registries, search, indexes, feeds, exports, and integrations;
make Private Content available to the Account, organization, team, user, agent, or integration with authorized access;
preserve version history, dependency stability, forks, references, install caches, annotations, proposals, and public ecosystem integrity;
display names, logos, excerpts, metadata, rankings, activity, and public contributions for discovery, promotion, community, marketplace, trust, and product purposes;
operate security, abuse, reliability, analytics, billing, compliance, support, and debugging systems; and
develop and improve Rusl features, including discovery, search, recommendations, trust signals, compatibility analysis, annotations, agent assistance, and AI/ML features, subject to the Public Content and Private Content rules below.

This license continues for as long as needed to operate the Service, comply with law, preserve public ecosystem integrity, respect licenses already granted, maintain backups, resolve disputes, enforce these Terms, or support legitimate business, security, legal, or technical needs.

8. Public Schemas, Bundles, and Licenses

Public schemas and bundles participate in Rusl's public ecosystem. Unless a different supported license or access model is selected, public schemas and public bundles are licensed under the MIT License by default.

Rusl may support license fields, alternative licenses, proprietary public-access models, commercial schemas, paid distribution, marketplace features, or other access models. If you select a license or access model, you are responsible for understanding it and ensuring you have the right to offer Content under it.

Public licenses already granted for a schema, bundle, version, or release generally cannot be revoked for copies, forks, dependencies, caches, or uses that occurred while that license applied. You may choose a different supported license or access model for future versions if Rusl supports that option and applicable law permits it.

Public schemas and bundles may be discovered, referenced, forked, copied, cached, indexed, installed, proposed against, annotated, compared, ranked, discussed, and used through Rusl features, subject to the applicable license, access model, and these Terms.

9. Annotations

Annotations are a core part of Rusl. Annotations may attach meaning, documentation, validation rules, UI behavior, service policies, domain interpretations, examples, compatibility notes, usage instructions, or other metadata to schemas, versions, bundles, Accounts, or other objects.

Annotations do not require a separate license field unless Rusl later supports or requires one for a particular feature. By publishing an annotation publicly, you grant Rusl and Rusl users the permissions reasonably necessary to view, display, copy, cache, index, distribute, reference, process, rely on, discuss, and use that annotation through Rusl's website, APIs, CLI, MCP tools, search, feeds, indexes, exports, and integrations.

You are responsible for annotations you post. Annotations may be wrong, incomplete, unsafe, misleading, outdated, opinionated, generated, or inappropriate for a particular use case. Rusl does not guarantee annotations.

10. Private Content

Private Content remains controlled by the Account or organization that owns or administers it, subject to these Terms and applicable Additional Terms.

Rusl will not make Private Content public unless you or someone authorized by your Account or organization does so, or unless disclosure is required to operate the Service, comply with law, enforce these Terms, address security or abuse, respond to support requests, protect users or the Service, or as otherwise permitted by these Terms or Additional Terms.

Rusl may process Private Content as necessary to provide, secure, debug, support, maintain, and improve the Service for the authorized Account or organization. Rusl may also process Private Content when the controlling Account opts into features that require it, such as agents, assisted review, migration help, support, recommendations, compatibility analysis, managed services, or similar features.

Rusl will not use the substantive contents of Private Content to train general AI/ML models or perform broad content analysis by default, unless the controlling Account opts into a feature, plan, or agreement that permits that processing.

Rusl may use Usage Data related to Private Content to operate, secure, bill, analyze, and improve the Service, including aggregate, de-identified, statistical, performance, compatibility, dependency, validation, and abuse/security signals.

11. Public Content, AI/ML, and Service Improvement

Rusl may use Public Content and related Usage Data to operate, provide, index, analyze, secure, improve, promote, and develop the Service.

This includes using Public Content to build or improve AI/ML systems, recommendation systems, trust and ranking systems, compatibility analysis, schema discovery, annotation quality tools, agent assistance, validation tools, and other Rusl-related products or services.

Rusl's use of Public Content under these Terms does not transfer your ownership of that Content. Other users' rights to use Public Content are governed by the applicable license, access model, and these Terms.

12. Privacy Policy and Personal Data

Rusl's Privacy Policy explains how Rusl collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data. You can contact Rusl about privacy matters at company@rusl.com.

These Terms include service-specific content and data rights because Rusl's schema, annotation, agent, public-content, private-content, Usage Data, and AI/ML rules are part of the contract between you and Rusl.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy about contractual rights in Content, these Terms control unless a later agreement states otherwise. If there is a conflict about personal-data handling required by law, Rusl will comply with applicable law.

13. Forks, Proposals, Copies, and Public Version History

Public Content is part of a collaborative ecosystem. Rusl may allow users and agents to fork, copy, propose changes to, comment on, annotate, depend on, install, cache, compare, and reference Public Content.

Where Content has a selected license, that license governs downstream legal reuse. Separately, Rusl may operate platform features that enable discovery, references, proposals, annotations, ranking, metadata, dependency graphs, and other ecosystem functions.

Public schemas, versions, bundles, annotations, proposals, comments, forks, install records, dependency references, and related public metadata may persist after deletion, transfer, rename, suspension, or termination where Rusl determines persistence is useful or necessary for version integrity, dependency stability, public contracts, forks, caches, legal compliance, dispute resolution, abuse prevention, security, or ecosystem trust.

14. Curation, Ranking, Verification, and Promotion

Rusl may rank, recommend, feature, verify, certify, label, promote, demote, restrict, annotate, contextualize, or otherwise organize Content, Accounts, schemas, bundles, annotations, agents, marketplace offerings, or integrations.

Rusl may use editorial judgment, automated systems, trust signals, security signals, quality signals, community activity, commercial relationships, marketplace participation, usage data, abuse history, verification status, and other factors. Rusl does not promise neutrality, equal treatment, permanent visibility, or any particular ranking or recommendation.

Labels such as "verified," "trusted," "featured," "certified," "recommended," "popular," or similar terms do not create a warranty or professional advice unless Rusl expressly agrees in a separate written agreement.

15. Reliability, Safety, and Professional-Use Disclaimer

Rusl is a platform for user-published and community-developed infrastructure. Schemas, annotations, bundles, examples, generated artifacts, proposals, documentation, recommendations, rankings, trust scores, verification labels, and integrations may be incomplete, wrong, unsafe, outdated, malicious, unmaintained, incompatible, infringing, legally noncompliant, or inappropriate for your use.

You are responsible for evaluating, testing, validating, reviewing, securing, and approving anything you use from Rusl before relying on it in development, production, compliance, regulated, commercial, safety-critical, or security-sensitive contexts.

Rusl does not provide legal, security, compliance, engineering, architecture, privacy, regulatory, or professional advice. Production use is at your own risk.

16. Acceptable Use

You may not use Rusl to do, facilitate, encourage, or assist any activity that Rusl determines is unlawful, harmful, abusive, deceptive, infringing, exploitative, or harmful to the Service, users, or public ecosystem.

Prohibited conduct includes:

violating applicable law or regulations;
infringing intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or confidentiality rights;
publishing malware, phishing materials, credential theft tools, exploit kits, or harmful code;
attacking, disrupting, overloading, scraping, spamming, manipulating, or abusing the Service;
evading rate limits, access controls, billing limits, security controls, or account restrictions;
impersonation, misleading names, trademark abuse, namespace squatting, or deceptive attribution;
harassment, threats, hate, exploitation, abuse, or targeted harm;
doxxing, leaking secrets, exposing credentials, or publishing confidential third-party information;
submitting intentionally misleading, malicious, low-quality, spammy, or manipulative annotations, schemas, proposals, or metadata;
using agents, bots, scripts, API clients, MCP clients, or automation in a way that harms users, trust, reliability, security, or platform integrity;
using Rusl to violate sanctions, export controls, or other legal restrictions; or
helping others violate these Terms.

Rusl may remove, restrict, demote, label, quarantine, disable, suspend, terminate, or otherwise act on Accounts, Content, names, agents, integrations, or activity that Rusl believes violates these Terms or creates legal, security, reliability, trust, commercial, or operational risk.

Rusl may later move, expand, or supplement these rules in a separate Acceptable Use Policy or other Additional Terms.

17. Agents, Bots, API Clients, MCP Clients, and Automation

Rusl may allow agents, bots, scripts, MCP clients, API clients, service accounts, and other automation to use the Service.

You are responsible for all automated activity under your Account, credentials, tokens, permissions, agents, service accounts, or integrations.

Rusl may require automated activity to be attributable to a human or organization Account. Rusl may label automated activity, require verification, impose limits, restrict permissions, revoke tokens, suspend agents, require contact information, or take other action to protect users and the Service.

Automated systems must comply with these Terms, applicable rate limits, documentation, API rules, security requirements, and any Additional Terms.

18. Rate Limits, Usage Limits, and Fair Use

Rusl may establish, change, enforce, throttle, suspend, or charge for limits on websites, APIs, CLI tools, MCP integrations, storage, bandwidth, indexing, dependency graph access, exports, agents, automation, public or private schemas, marketplace features, AI/ML features, and other usage.

Specific limits may appear in product documentation, plan pages, API responses, headers, dashboards, invoices, order forms, or other notices. Rusl does not need to encode specific limits in these Terms, and limits may change over time.

You may not bypass or attempt to bypass usage limits, rate limits, access controls, billing controls, or technical restrictions.

19. Secrets, Credentials, and Sensitive Data

Unless a Rusl feature is explicitly designed for that purpose, you should not submit, publish, or store secrets, private keys, passwords, access tokens, API keys, signing keys, credentials, regulated personal data, confidential third-party information, or other sensitive data in Rusl.

Rusl may scan, detect, restrict, hide, remove, quarantine, disable access to, or otherwise act on exposed secrets or sensitive data. Rusl does not guarantee that it will detect all secrets or sensitive data, and Rusl is not responsible for your decision to publish or store them.

20. Security Research and Vulnerability Reports

Rusl welcomes good-faith vulnerability reports at security@rusl.com.

However, unless Rusl gives you prior written permission or publishes a specific policy allowing it, you may not perform unauthorized probing, scanning, scraping, fuzzing, exploit attempts, load testing, denial-of-service testing, credential attacks, rate-limit bypassing, privilege escalation attempts, data extraction, access-control testing, or attempts to access non-public systems, Accounts, Content, data, or infrastructure.

Submitting a report does not entitle you to payment, bounty, reward, credit, safe harbor, authorization to continue testing, or immunity from enforcement. Rusl does not have a bug bounty program unless it separately says so in writing.

You may not extort, threaten, demand payment, publicly disclose vulnerabilities before remediation, access or retain data that is not yours, disrupt the Service, or harm users.

Rusl may investigate and take action against abusive, unauthorized, or harmful testing.

21. Intellectual Property, Copyright, and DMCA

Rusl respects intellectual property rights. You must have the rights necessary to publish, license, annotate, distribute, and use Content through Rusl. Excluding Content provided by users, all intellectual property rights in the Service and its underlying software, design, and branding are owned by Rusl or its licensors. No rights are granted to you except the limited rights expressly set out in these Terms.

Rusl may remove, restrict, disable, demote, transfer, rename, or otherwise act on Content, Accounts, names, namespaces, marketplace offerings, or integrations in response to credible copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, trade secret, confidentiality, or other legal complaints.

21.1 DMCA Notice and Takedown

Rusl complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe Content on the Service infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, you may send a written notification to our Designated Copyright Agent (below) that includes:

your physical or electronic signature;
identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
identification of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed, with enough information for us to locate it;
your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

21.2 Counter-Notification

If your Content was removed or disabled and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent that includes your signature; identification of the removed material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address, and telephone number; and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Rusl may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice.

21.3 Repeat Infringers

Rusl maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the Accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.

21.4 Designated Copyright Agent

Notices and counter-notifications should be sent to:

Rusl may also publish a separate IP, DMCA, trademark, or namespace policy.

22. Paid Plans, Billing, and Taxes

Rusl may offer free plans, paid plans, usage-based pricing, subscriptions, one-time purchases, marketplace purchases, enterprise plans, add-ons, premium namespaces, verification, storage, API access, commercial features, managed services, or other paid offerings.

By purchasing a paid offering, you agree to pay the applicable fees, taxes, and charges. Paid offerings may be governed by plan pages, checkout terms, invoices, order forms, enterprise agreements, marketplace terms, or other Additional Terms.

Unless stated otherwise:

fees are due as disclosed at purchase or in the applicable order form;
taxes are your responsibility unless Rusl is required to collect them;
subscriptions may renew if disclosed at purchase;
cancellation stops future renewals but does not automatically refund past charges;
refunds are discretionary unless required by law or stated in applicable Additional Terms;
Rusl may downgrade, suspend, restrict, or terminate access for non-payment, failed payment, chargebacks, fraud, or billing risk; and
Rusl may change pricing, plans, features, limits, and packaging prospectively.

23. Marketplace and Commercial Ecosystem

Rusl may support marketplace, sponsorship, paid distribution, commercial schema, proprietary schema, paid annotation, integration, premium namespace, verification, certification, professional service, partner, or third-party commercial features.

Additional eligibility rules, review processes, fees, revenue shares, tax requirements, payout terms, content standards, support obligations, refund rules, verification requirements, and marketplace terms may apply.

Rusl may accept, reject, rank, feature, demote, remove, suspend, or restrict marketplace participants or offerings at its discretion.

24. Third-Party Services and Integrations

Rusl may link to, integrate with, depend on, or allow use of third-party services, including hosting providers, payment processors, analytics providers, identity providers, Git providers, registries, AI providers, model providers, MCP servers, MCP tools, APIs, package managers, cloud services, and external websites.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms, policies, licenses, and privacy practices. Rusl is not responsible for third-party services outside Rusl's control.

Your use of third-party integrations may cause your Content, Usage Data, or personal data to be transmitted to or processed by those third parties depending on your configuration and permissions.

25. Support, Availability, and Beta Features

Unless Rusl agrees otherwise in Additional Terms, Rusl does not promise any support, uptime, response time, service credit, onboarding, maintenance, data recovery, or availability commitment.

Rusl may modify, suspend, discontinue, limit, rename, deprecate, replace, or remove any part of the Service, including APIs, CLI behavior, MCP integrations, schemas, annotations, ranking systems, trust systems, billing, limits, plans, and features.

Beta, preview, experimental, early-access, or pre-release features are provided as-is, may be changed or removed at any time, and may be subject to Additional Terms.

Rusl may try to preserve public contract and version integrity where practical, but Rusl does not promise permanent availability, compatibility, storage, hosting, indexing, or access.

26. Termination, Suspension, and Deletion

You may stop using Rusl at any time. Rusl may suspend, restrict, terminate, remove, disable, demote, quarantine, or limit access to any Account, Content, agent, integration, namespace, or feature if Rusl believes there is a violation of these Terms, legal risk, security risk, abuse, non-payment, operational risk, trust issue, or other legitimate reason.

Private Content is generally deletable by the controlling Account or organization, subject to backups, legal retention, billing records, security investigations, dispute resolution, abuse prevention, support, and technical limitations.

Public Content may persist after deletion, Account closure, suspension, rename, transfer, or termination as described in these Terms, including to preserve licenses, forks, version history, dependencies, annotations, references, install caches, public contracts, and ecosystem integrity.

Rusl may mark authors as deleted, anonymized, suspended, renamed, transferred, or unavailable. Rusl may preserve, archive, redirect, fork, or maintain public artifacts where appropriate.

27. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RUSL DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, MAINTENANCE, COMPATIBILITY, AND COURSE OF DEALING.

RUSL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, AVAILABLE, CORRECT, SAFE, MAINTAINED, LEGALLY COMPLIANT, OR SUITABLE FOR PRODUCTION OR ANY PARTICULAR USE.

28. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RUSL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST GOODWILL, LOST DATA, SECURITY INCIDENTS, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, CONTENT LOSS, DOWNSTREAM RELIANCE, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM YOUR OR OTHERS' USE OF CONTENT, SCHEMAS, ANNOTATIONS, AGENTS, INTEGRATIONS, OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RUSL'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO RUSL FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE; OR (B) USD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

29. Indemnification

You are responsible for your conduct, Content, Account activity, agents, automation, integrations, commercial offerings, and use of the Service.

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rusl and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, service providers, and agents from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to:

your Content;
your Account activity;
your agents, bots, API clients, MCP clients, scripts, service accounts, or automation;
your violation of these Terms or applicable law;
your infringement or misappropriation of rights;
your commercial, marketplace, paid, or professional offerings;
your misuse of the Service; or
disputes between you and another user, customer, contributor, marketplace participant, third party, or integration provider.

Rusl may assume control of the defense of any claim, and you will cooperate with Rusl.

30. Release

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users and with third-party services, links, and integrations made available through the Service. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release Rusl and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any disputes, claims, controversies, demands, rights, obligations, liabilities, actions, and causes of action arising out of or relating to such interactions or to any third-party services, links, or integrations.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY."

31. Export Controls and Sanctions

You may not use Rusl if you are prohibited from doing so under U.S. or other applicable export control, sanctions, or trade laws.

You represent that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, organized under the laws of, or controlled by a person or entity located in a comprehensively sanctioned country or region, and that you are not on any restricted-party list that would prohibit your use of the Service.

You are responsible for complying with export controls, sanctions, and trade restrictions that apply to your Content, use of Rusl, and downstream distribution. Rusl may restrict, suspend, or terminate access where required by law or where Rusl determines there is legal or compliance risk.

32. Changes to These Terms

Rusl may update these Terms from time to time. If Rusl makes material changes, Rusl will provide reasonable notice where practical, such as by posting the updated Terms, sending email, displaying in-product notice, or providing CLI/API notice.

Updated Terms will be effective on the date stated in the updated Terms. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. Rusl may require explicit acceptance for some changes.

If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

33. Additional Terms; Assignment

Certain features, plans, products, betas, APIs, AI/agent features, integrations, marketplace offerings, paid plans, enterprise services, order forms, or transactions may be subject to Additional Terms. If Additional Terms conflict with these Terms, the more specific Additional Terms control for the applicable feature, plan, product, transaction, or service.

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without Rusl's prior consent. Rusl may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, change of control, by operation of law, or similar business transaction, or as part of operating the business.

34. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

Please read this Section 34 carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

34.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Subject to the arbitration agreement below, the state and federal courts located in Delaware will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration, and you consent to jurisdiction and venue in those courts. Rusl may seek injunctive, emergency, or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, security, users, Service, infrastructure, or legal rights.

34.2 Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Rusl agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, rather than in court, except that: (1) you or Rusl may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies; and (2) you or Rusl may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and survives termination of these Terms.

34.3 Informal Dispute Resolution

Before starting arbitration, the party raising a Dispute must first send the other a written notice describing the Dispute and the relief sought. Notice to Rusl must be sent to company@rusl.com or to Rusl, Inc., 2810 N Church St, STE 88379, Wilmington, Delaware 19802. You and Rusl will then make a good-faith effort to resolve the Dispute informally, including by meeting (by phone or videoconference) within 45 days of the notice. Completing this process is a condition precedent to starting arbitration, and any applicable limitations period and filing deadlines are tolled while the parties engage in it.

34.4 Arbitration Rules and Forum

If the Dispute is not resolved within 60 days of the notice, either party may begin arbitration administered by JAMS under its rules then in effect (the Streamlined Arbitration Rules for amounts in controversy under $250,000, and the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules otherwise), as available at jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside, or remotely, unless you and Rusl agree otherwise. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party's responsibility for arbitration fees is governed by the applicable JAMS rules.

34.5 Waiver of Jury Trial

EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 34, YOU AND RUSL WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. Disputes are instead resolved by arbitration as described above.

34.6 Waiver of Class or Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND RUSL AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE "BATCH ARBITRATION" SUBSECTION BELOW, EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may award relief only to the individual party seeking it. If a court decides, in a final decision not subject to appeal, that this subsection is unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and may be litigated only in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, while all other Disputes remain subject to arbitration.

34.7 Attorneys' Fees and Costs

Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that a claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, or unless applicable law provides otherwise.

34.8 Batch Arbitration

If 100 or more substantially similar arbitration demands are filed against Rusl by or with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel within a 30-day period, you and Rusl agree the demands will be administered by JAMS in batches of up to 100, with one arbitrator and one set of filing and administrative fees per side per batch, in order to increase efficiency. This subsection does not authorize class, collective, or mass arbitration except as expressly stated.

34.9 30-Day Right to Opt Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days after first becoming subject to it by sending written notice of your decision to company@rusl.com or to Rusl, Inc., 2810 N Church St, STE 88379, Wilmington, Delaware 19802. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of the arbitration agreement. Opting out has no effect on any other part of these Terms.

34.10 Changes to the Arbitration Agreement

If Rusl makes a material change to this Section 34 in the future, you may reject the change within 30 days of it becoming effective by writing to the addresses above. Otherwise, your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the change. If you reject a change, the most recently accepted version of this Section 34 will apply.

34.11 Severability and Survival

Except as provided in the "Waiver of Class or Non-Individualized Relief" subsection, if any part of this Section 34 is found invalid or unenforceable, that part will be severed and the remainder will continue in effect. Any Dispute must be initiated within the applicable statute of limitations or it will be time-barred.

35. Electronic Communications

You consent to receive communications from Rusl electronically, whether through the Service or by email. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications Rusl provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing. This does not affect your non-waivable rights. If you are a California resident, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

36. General Terms

These Terms, together with any applicable Additional Terms, are the entire agreement between you and Rusl regarding the Service.

If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Rusl's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience only. The word "including" means "including without limitation."

You and Rusl are independent parties. These Terms do not create a partnership, employment relationship, franchise, fiduciary relationship, or agency relationship.
