Terms of Service

Last Updated: January 8, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Tadacity browser extension, CLI, or website (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access the Service.

2. Description of Service

Tadacity is a web data capture and serving platform for AI workflows. Our Service consists of:

  • Browser Extension: For visually creating “captures” — reusable definitions that describe how to extract structured data from specific web pages.
  • CLI (Command-Line Interface): For user authentication, syncing capture definitions, and serving extracted data to AI tools by running a local MCP (Model Context Protocol) server on your machine.

The Service operates by storing capture definitions (the extraction rules) in Tadacity’s cloud infrastructure, while all web page fetching and data extraction occurs locally on your device via the CLI. The CLI itself runs the MCP server locally — there is no separate hosted MCP backend.

Tadacity provides on-demand data retrieval only. It does not perform real-time monitoring, continuous crawling, or scheduled scraping. Each request fetches data once and reflects the state of the target website at that moment.

At no point does Tadacity take custody of, store, or process the actual web page content or extracted data on its servers. All such content remains local to your environment and flows directly between you and the websites you access.

3. Responsible Use and Compliance

You are solely responsible for your use of the Tadacity Service. You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including the terms of service, `robots.txt` files, and data fetching policies of any third-party websites you interact with.

Tadacity is designed for on-demand data retrieval for AI workflows. You must not use the Service to:

  • Violate website Terms of Service, acceptable use policies, or rate limits.
  • Harvest data illegally, access unauthorized content, or bypass authentication/authorization controls.
  • Engage in continuous crawling, real-time monitoring, or high-volume automated scraping that could overwhelm target servers.
  • Harass individuals, infringe intellectual property rights, or facilitate other illegal activities.
  • Reverse engineer, circumvent, or attempt to extract proprietary source code, security mechanisms, or non-public infrastructure of the Service.

Data Compliance: Since all web page fetching and data extraction occurs locally on your machine, you are responsible for ensuring that your collection, storage, and use of third-party data complies with applicable laws and regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, computer fraud laws). Tadacity does not monitor, review, or control the web pages you access or how you use the extracted data.

4. Intellectual Property and Rights in Captures

  • Your Capture Definitions: You retain ownership of the capture definitions you create. You grant us a license to host, copy, and transmit these definitions solely for the purpose of providing the Service (e.g., syncing to your devices).
  • Public-by-Default Model: All capture definitions are currently public by default. By using the Service, you acknowledge and accept that the structure of your captures (URL patterns, field names, selectors) may be accessed, viewed, and reused by other users. This supports our vision of a public sharing library where one user's capture definition can benefit many users.
  • Grant of License for Public Captures: You grant Tadacity a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute your capture definitions to other users. This allows us to operate the future public library and discovery features.
  • Distinction from Web Content: While capture definitions (the rules) are public and stored in our cloud, the actual web page content and extracted data are never stored on or transmitted through our servers. That content remains under your control and flows only between you and the websites you access.
  • Tadacity IP: The Service, including its software, algorithms, visual design, and branding, is owned by Tadacity and protected by intellectual property laws.

5. Service Availability and Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

7. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL TADACITY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.

8. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service at our sole discretion, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.

9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Tadacity's primary entity is established (as determined at the time of any dispute), without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
