IMPORTANT NOTICE: Before using AnySearch services, please carefully read and fully understand the entire content of these Terms of Service (hereinafter referred to as "these Terms"). Important provisions, such as those limiting or exempting liability and dispute resolution clauses, are highlighted in bold for your attention. If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us using the contact information at the end of these Terms.

By registering an account, accessing, or using AnySearch services, you indicate that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to any content of these Terms, please immediately stop using this service.

I. DEFINITIONS

1.1 "AnySearch" or "the Platform" means the AI unified search API service platform operated by Any Limited (hereinafter "we," "us," or "our"), including but not limited to the AnySearch official website (anysearch.com), API interfaces, MCP service endpoints, management console, and related tools.

1.2 "Service": Refers to the search API aggregation service provided to you by AnySearch, including but not limited to the unified search interface (/v1/search), MCP protocol integration (/mcp), API key management, usage statistics and related features.

1.3 "User" or "you" means any individual or organization that registers for, accesses, or uses the AnySearch service.

1.4 "API Key" means the unique identity credential generated by us to authenticate your API requests and associate them with usage billing.

1.5 "User Business Data" means the search query content transmitted by you through the Platform's API and the search result data received.

1.6 "Quota" means the maximum number of API calls available for your account or API Key within a specified period.

1.7 “Pro Subscription” refers to a paid plan that is automatically renewed on a monthly, annual or other basis as specified on the purchase page. The subscription price, currency, taxes, quota per period, rules governing quota reset or expiry, scope of features and renewal arrangements shall be subject to the information clearly displayed to the user prior to payment and retained in the order confirmation.

1.8 “Pro Usage Pack” means prepaid API call credits purchased on a one-time basis that do not automatically renew. Before payment, the purchase page must clearly display the number of credits, price, and validity period, or indicate that the credits do not expire. A Pro Usage Pack is not an automatically renewing subscription.

II. ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

2.1 Registration and Authentication

2.1.1 You shall provide true, accurate, and complete information to complete account registration as prompted on the registration page. To comply with applicable laws and regulations or for security considerations, we may require additional information for identity verification.

2.1.2 You shall ensure the authenticity and validity of your registration information and promptly update any information that changes. You shall bear sole responsibility for any consequences arising from false or outdated information.

2.2 Account Security

2.2.1 You shall safeguard your account credentials and password and shall not lend, transfer, or share your account with any other person. You shall bear sole responsibility for account security issues arising from your own actions.

2.2.2 If you discover any abnormal login or unauthorized use of your account, you shall notify us immediately. We will take measures within a reasonable time to assist you in restoring account security, but we shall not be liable for any losses incurred prior to such notification.

2.3 Account Freezing and Cancellation

2.3.1 We reserve the right to freeze or restrict your account under the following circumstances:

2.3.2 You may apply for account cancellation through the console or by contacting customer support. Prior to cancellation, you shall ensure that your account has no outstanding fees or pending transactions. Upon cancellation, we will process your personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

2.3.3 For account freezing, you have the right to file an appeal through customer support channels. We will complete the review and respond within 15 business days of receiving your appeal.

2.4 Protection of Minors

AnySearch provides accounts and paid services only to users who are at least 18 years old and have reached the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction. Users must not register on behalf of minors, purchase paid services on their behalf or authorise automatic debits on their behalf. If we have reasonable grounds to believe that an account is being used by a person who does not meet these age requirements, we may suspend the account and conduct necessary verification. Upon confirming unauthorised use, we will cease processing the relevant data as required by law and handle the applicable cancellation, deletion and refund, except that we may retain the minimum records required by law. Guardians may contact us at support@anysearch.com.

III. SERVICE CONTENT AND USE

3.1 Scope of Service

3.1.1 AnySearch provides AI unified search API services, routing your search requests to multiple underlying data sources through the standardized /v1/search protocol and returning aggregated results to you.

3.1.2 We also provide the following ancillary features:

3.1.3 Pro Paid Services: The purchase page and order confirmation must clearly state the applicable product type, price, taxes, quota, billing unit, rate limits, validity period, automatic-renewal arrangements, overage charges and cancellation method. Billing rules must not be applied retrospectively to quotas already purchased. No quota will be deducted and no fee will be charged for requests that fail, time out or are deemed invalid by the Platform. Empty or cached results may be charged only where they were clearly disclosed as billable requests before purchase. Unless the user separately and explicitly opts in to overage billing, no additional fee will be charged automatically after the quota is exhausted.

3.2 Conditions of Use

3.2.1 You shall independently procure the terminal devices (computers, servers, etc.) and network environment necessary to use the service and bear all associated costs.

3.2.2 You shall integrate and call the API correctly in accordance with our technical documentation. You shall bear sole responsibility for any issues arising from improper integration.

3.2.3 We may perform maintenance or upgrades on the service from time to time. For planned maintenance, we will notify you at least 24 hours in advance via on-site announcements or email; for emergency maintenance, we will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice.

3.2.4 Subject to compliance with these Terms and the technical documentation, the Pro paid service grants the account holder and its authorised users a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the service, including the reasonable integration of the service into their own applications or internal business processes via the API. AnySearch API access rights must not be resold as a standalone service without written permission. We may make adjustments to third-party data sources, models or non-core features; should such adjustments result in a material reduction in core paid features during the subscription period, we shall provide alternative features, a right of cancellation, a pro-rata refund or other appropriate remedies in accordance with the law.

IV. API USAGE RULES

4.1 API Key Management

4.1.1 The API Key is your sole identity credential for using the service. You shall safeguard it and shall not disclose it to any third party.

4.1.2 The API Key is for use solely by you or applications authorized by you and shall not be shared, lent, sold, or otherwise transferred to others.

4.1.3 Users should promptly reset their API Key and notify us upon discovering that it has been compromised. Users shall bear corresponding liability for any losses incurred prior to such notification as a result of their failure to exercise reasonable care in safeguarding the API Key; however, this exemption shall not apply to losses caused by security vulnerabilities on the part of AnySearch, or by AnySearch’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence. Upon receipt of such notification, we shall take measures to deactivate the API Key, restrict usage or implement risk control measures within a reasonable timeframe.

4.1.4 We reserve the right to immediately revoke or suspend any API Key upon detecting abnormal usage.

4.2 Rate Limits and Quotas

4.2.1 We implement rate limits on API calls based on your plan tier, including but not limited to requests per second (RPS) and daily request limits. Specific limits are set forth in your plan description.

4.2.2 When you exceed rate limits, the API will return HTTP 429 status code. We recommend implementing an exponential backoff retry strategy on the client side.

4.2.3 Quotas are calculated per billing cycle. Unused quotas do not accumulate or carry over to subsequent cycles.

4.2.4 If you require higher rate limits or quotas, you may upgrade your plan through the console or contact us for a customized solution.

4.2.5 We reserve the right to temporarily throttle or suspend service for abnormally high-frequency calls to safeguard overall platform service quality.

4.2.6 Unless the user explicitly selects and agrees to overage charges on the checkout page, no additional charges shall be automatically incurred once the quota has been exhausted; the service may be downgraded, suspended or a prompt to upgrade may be displayed. Unused quotas do not roll over, unless otherwise explicitly stated on the package page.

4.3 Prohibited Conduct

4.3.1 You agree not to use the service in the following manners:

Technical Abuse:

Commercial Abuse:

Content Violations:

4.3.2 For violations of the above provisions, we reserve the right to take the following measures based on the severity of the violation: Warning → Rate Limiting → Service Suspension → Account Termination. In cases of serious violations, we reserve the right to pursue legal liability.

4.4 Generative AI and Algorithmic Service Rules

Lawful Use: You agree not to use AnySearch to generate or disseminate content prohibited by applicable laws and regulations. If we discover such content, we will immediately take measures including ceasing transmission, disconnecting links, preserving records, and reporting to regulatory authorities.

Content Safety Filtering: AnySearch deploys a content safety filtering system that combines a keyword rule engine with AI classification models to perform automated review of search results. This system will automatically intercept, downgrade, or remove search results containing illegal or non-compliant content such as pornography, obscenity, graphic violence, and terrorism.

You understand and agree that:

AI Transparency: AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date or contain bias; users should carry out appropriate verification before relying on or disseminating them, and should not regard them as legal, medical, financial or other professional advice. Where the EU AI Act or other legislation applies, we will clearly indicate that the user is interacting with an AI system and provide appropriate, prominent labelling or machine-readable tags for content generated or manipulated by AI. Users must not rely solely on AI output to make decisions regarding individuals that have legal or similarly significant consequences in high-impact contexts—such as employment, credit, healthcare, insurance, education, housing, the administration of justice or public welfare—unless there is a lawful basis, appropriate human oversight and safeguards required by law.

V. FEES AND PAYMENT

5.1 Billing Rules

5.1.1 The Service offers free quotas and paid plans. The free quota available to you will be as described at registration, and paid-plan prices will be as stated on our official website.

5.1.2 The pricing, billing methods, and payment methods for paid plans are based on the latest published information on our official pricing page.

5.1.3 We may adjust service pricing. Price adjustments will be announced at least 30 days in advance via official website announcements or email. Adjusted prices apply to new billing cycles and do not affect already purchased plans.

5.2 Payment

5.2.1 You shall pay the fees promptly in accordance with the requirements of your chosen package. We accept payment methods such as Stripe (subject to what is shown on the page).

5.2.2 Paid plans become effective immediately upon successful payment, with quotas calculated from the moment of activation.

5.2.3 Payments are processed by the payment service provider specified on the purchase page. AnySearch does not receive or store full bank card numbers, security codes or payment passwords, but may store payment tokens, order numbers, amounts, currencies, taxes, payment statuses and refund records. For further details on processing, please refer to the Privacy Policy.

5.2.4 Automatic Renewal. Automatic renewal applies only to plans explicitly labelled as subscriptions. Before payment, we will clearly disclose the renewal cycle, the renewal price or the method for determining it, the frequency of debits and the cancellation method, and will obtain the user’s separate and explicit consent to automatic renewal. After purchase, we will provide an order confirmation and cancellation instructions in a durable medium and will send renewal and price-change reminders within the period required by applicable law. Online subscriptions may be cancelled online through the account settings, and the cancellation process must not impose unreasonable obstacles. Cancellation will take effect before the next billing cycle begins. Pro Usage Packs do not renew automatically.

5.3 Late Payment and Arrears

5.3.1 If your paid quota expires without renewal, your API Key will be automatically downgraded to the free quota (if available) or service will be suspended.

5.3.2 We shall not be liable for service interruptions caused by quota exhaustion or expiration.

5.4 Refunds

These terms do not limit the user’s statutory rights to a cooling-off period, withdrawal, cancellation, refund, chargeback or other consumer rights. In the event of duplicate charges, unauthorised charges, incorrect billing, failure to provide the service, termination of the service through no fault of the platform, or a material and unresolved fault affecting core paid features, we shall issue a refund in accordance with the law or provide a pro-rata refund for the unused portion. Where the law permits a user to request the immediate commencement of digital services within the statutory withdrawal period, we shall obtain the explicit request and confirmation required by law and provide a recordable confirmation; the user shall only forfeit or have their right of withdrawal correspondingly reduced where all statutory conditions are met.

VI. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

6.1 All content of the AnySearch platform, including but not limited to software, code, interface design, trademarks, logos, and documentation, is owned by us or the relevant rights holders. You shall not copy, modify, disseminate, or otherwise use such content without our prior written consent.

6.2 As between the parties, users retain the query content and all related rights that they lawfully own or are entitled to submit. Submission of a query does not transfer to AnySearch any rights in third-party personal data, trade secrets, intellectual property or other legally protected interests. Users must ensure that they have the necessary authorisation or legal basis to submit and use the relevant data.

6.3 Search-result data returned by the API originates from third-party data sources. We make no representations or warranties regarding the ownership of intellectual property rights in search results. You must independently ensure that your use of search results complies with applicable laws and regulations and applicable third-party terms of use. If search results are suspected of infringing intellectual property rights, privacy rights or other lawful rights and interests, the rights holder or user may submit a notice using the designated contact details. We will investigate to the extent required by applicable law and take appropriate measures, including removal, blocking, demotion or disabling links.

VII. USER BUSINESS DATA

Users retain all rights they hold under applicable law in their User Input and grant AnySearch a non-exclusive, worldwide and time-limited licence, sublicensable solely to authorised service providers, only to the extent necessary to provide, maintain, protect and support the Service. This licence does not authorise AnySearch to use identifiable User Input or complete search results for model training, targeted advertising or user profiling. Before carrying out any such use, AnySearch must provide separate, explicit notice and obtain the authorisation required by applicable law. Temporary copies of queries and search results controlled by AnySearch are deleted upon completion of processing, within a maximum of 24 hours after the response is finalised, except for the minimum records required to be retained by law. The retention periods for cloud infrastructure and third-party AI service providers shall be subject to the actual arrangements disclosed in the Privacy Policy and the list of data processors; unless guaranteed by contractual and technical mechanisms, no commitment is made to ‘delete data within 24 hours’ in respect of the aforementioned third parties.

VIII. SERVICE LEVEL AND AVAILABILITY

8.1 We are committed to using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the stability and availability of the service. Specific service level commitments (SLA) are set forth in the separately published Service Level Agreement.

8.2 The following circumstances are not counted as service unavailability:

8.3 If the service falls below the availability standards committed in the SLA, you may apply for compensation in accordance with the SLA. Compensation is typically provided in the form of service period extension or quota compensation, not cash refunds.

IX. DISCLAIMERS

9.1 The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

9.2 Search results originate from third-party data sources, and we make no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or legality of search results. You shall independently assess the reliability of search results.

9.3 We shall not be liable for losses arising from the following circumstances:

9.4 AnySearch assumes the applicable responsibilities of a data controller or personal information processor for account administration, billing, security, product operations and customer support activities for which it determines the purposes and means of processing. Where AnySearch processes a corporate customer’s personal data in accordance with that customer’s written instructions, the parties’ respective responsibilities will be governed by the applicable data processing agreement. Users are responsible for their independent use of search results after obtaining them; however, this clause does not exempt AnySearch from its statutory responsibilities regarding its own collection, transmission and disclosure of data, security measures or service-provider management.

X. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

10.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with the service, including but not limited to loss of profits, data loss, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, regardless of whether we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

10.2 Liability Cap: To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claims arising from the use of the service shall be limited as follows: for paid users, not exceeding the total service fees actually paid by you in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; for free-tier users, the maximum compensation limit is HKD 1,000.

10.3 The above limitations of liability do not apply to damages caused by our willful misconduct or gross negligence, or to liability that applicable law expressly prohibits from being limited.

XI. CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1 Any non-public business information, technical information, or other data learned by either party during the course of cooperation shall be deemed confidential information. The receiving party shall not disclose such information to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party.

11.2 The following circumstances are not subject to confidentiality obligations:

XII. SERVICE CHANGES AND TERMINATION

12.1 Service Changes

12.1.1 We may adjust service content, features, or technical specifications based on business development needs. Material changes will be notified to you in the form of a pop-up window at least 30 days in advance.

12.1.2 If you do not agree to the changed service content, you have the right to terminate your use of the service before the changes take effect. Continued use following the changes shall be deemed acceptance thereof.

12.2 Termination

12.2.1 You may terminate these Terms at any time by canceling your account.

12.2.2 We reserve the right to immediately terminate the provision of services to you under the following circumstances:

12.2.3 Following the termination of the service, query content and search results still held in the temporary processing area will be retained for a maximum of 24 hours after the API response is completed, after which they will be deleted. Users should export any data to which they are legally entitled prior to the termination of the service. The minimum security, billing or transaction records required to be retained by law will be kept for the period specified by applicable legislation and deleted upon expiry of that period.

Where the platform terminates a Pro subscription through no fault of its own, it shall provide a refund or compensation for the unused portion of the subscription period in accordance with applicable law and the contract; where a user’s subscription is terminated due to a breach of the terms, the portion already used is not normally refundable, but this shall not affect the user’s statutory right to a refund.

XIII. NOTICES

13.1 We may send notices to you through the following means: email, on-site messages, console announcements, or official website announcements.

13.2 Notices sent by email shall be deemed delivered 24 hours after dispatch; notices published through the official website or console announcements shall be deemed delivered upon publication.

13.3 Users will be notified directly via email or in-app messages regarding changes to pricing, automatic renewals, failed payments, subscription cancellations, refunds and account restrictions; notifications will not rely solely on announcements on the official website.

13.4 You shall ensure that the contact information provided at registration is accurate and valid. You shall bear sole responsibility for any consequences arising from failure to receive notices due to inaccurate contact information.

XIV. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, but shall not deprive consumers of the protection afforded to them under the mandatory laws of their habitual residence. Disputes involving business users shall be submitted to arbitration at the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre. Consumers shall only be bound by such arbitration agreements where they are legally valid; where the laws of the consumer’s place of residence permit them to bring a claim before a local court, regulatory authority or small claims body, these terms shall not restrict that right.

XV. AMENDMENTS TO TERMS

15.1 We reserve the right to amend these Terms from time to time in response to changes in laws and regulations, business development needs, or service adjustments.

15.2 The amended Terms will be notified to you at least 7 days before they become effective via official website announcements or email.

15.3 Any amendments to service pricing, the purposes of data processing, the categories of data, sharing with third parties, cross-border transfers, limitations of liability, dispute resolution or other material matters shall be notified in a prominent manner prior to their coming into effect, and explicit consent shall be obtained again where required by law. Should a user not agree to such material amendments, they may terminate the service prior to the amendments coming into effect; where a refund is required by law or under the contract, this shall be handled in accordance with applicable law. Continued use of the service does not constitute consent to matters requiring separate consent.

XVI. MISCELLANEOUS

16.1 These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the service and supersede all prior oral or written agreements.

16.2 If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.

16.3 Our failure or delay in exercising any right under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

16.4 The headings in these Terms are for convenience of reading only and shall not affect the interpretation of the provisions.
