Terms of Service

Effective date: 2025-08-12

These Terms govern your use of the Sica Content AI for WordPress plugin and the related services at api.sica.ai (together, the “Service”). By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1) Who we are

“Sica AI,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the operator of sica.ai and api.sica.ai.

2) What the Service does

• The plugin connects to our cloud API to generate AI-assisted content (text/images) for your WordPress site.

• Communication is server-to-server using a per-site token issued after email verification (2FA).

• Plans include usage limits (e.g., posts/month). Free and paid plans, features, and limits may change.

3) Eligibility & accounts

• You must be able to form a contract and comply with applicable laws.

• You must provide and verify a valid email. We will send operational/transactional messages (e.g., codes, receipts, service notices).

• A token is bound to your email and site URL. You are responsible for token security on your site.

4) Acceptable use

Do not use the Service to:

• Break the law or violate rights (IP, privacy, publicity).

• Generate unlawful, harmful, deceptive, or discriminatory content.

• Reverse engineer, scrape, or extract model weights or proprietary datasets.

• Circumvent tokens, rate limits, quotas, or security; disrupt the Service.

• Resell the Service as a standalone competing API.

We may monitor for abuse (minimally, in a privacy-respecting way) and may rate-limit, suspend, or terminate access for violations.

5) Usage limits, fair use, availability

• We enforce per-site/per-account limits to protect reliability and cost; you may receive HTTP 429 with a retry time.

• Free allowances and paid quotas can change.

• The Service may be unavailable due to maintenance or third-party outages.

6) Third-party providers

• We integrate external AI providers (e.g., OpenAI). Their terms may apply in addition to these Terms.

• We do not control third-party providers and are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

7) Your content & responsibilities

• You must review AI output before publishing. AI can be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable.

• You warrant you have rights to the inputs you provide and the outputs you publish, and that your use is lawful.

• You grant us a limited license to process inputs/outputs solely to provide, secure, and improve the Service.

8) Privacy

• We aim to minimize personal data. Typical data: site URL, admin email (verification/support), operational metadata (counts, errors). We do not sell personal data.

• For security/debugging we log technical details (timestamps, IP, user agent, error codes). We avoid storing full prompts/outputs unless you enable debug modes.

• Marketing emails require separate opt-in. Every marketing email includes unsubscribe. See our Privacy Policy for details.

9) Security

• Keep WordPress and plugins updated. Do not expose tokens publicly.

• We use reasonable safeguards and may rotate tokens, sign requests, and apply rate limits. No method is 100% secure.

10) Plans, fees, taxes

• Paid plans require payment via Stripe. Prices/features may change with notice.

• Fees are exclusive of taxes unless stated; you are responsible for applicable taxes.

• Except where required by law or stated in our posted Refund Policy, fees are non-refundable once services/quotas are provided.

11) Subscription management

• You can manage payment methods, view invoices, change plans, or cancel through the Stripe Customer Portal we provide.

• Cancellation stops future billing; access continues until the end of the current paid period. On cancellation or non-payment, tokens may be downgraded or revoked.

12) Suspension & termination

We may suspend or terminate access, with or without notice, if:

• You breach these Terms or the law;

• Your use risks harm to the Service or others; or

• Required by a provider or law.

  You may stop using the Service at any time and remove the plugin. On termination, tokens may be revoked.

13) Changes

We may modify or discontinue features. We may update these Terms by posting a new version and updating the date. Continued use means acceptance.

14) Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, OR THAT OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR FIT FOR ANY PURPOSE.

15) Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

• OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE IN THAT PERIOD, OR (B) USD $100.

  Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; the limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted.

16) Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your content or use of the Service; (b) your breach of these Terms; or (c) your violation of law or third-party rights.

17) IP; plugin license

• The plugin code is provided under GPLv2 or later as required by the WordPress.org directory.

• Our cloud API, models, prompts, and dashboards are licensed to you for use with the Service; we retain all rights not expressly granted.

18) Communications & consent

• Operational/transactional: verification codes, receipts, service notices—sent without marketing opt-in.

• Marketing: newsletters, promotions—sent only with explicit opt-in; unsubscribe anytime.

19) Data deletion

You may request deletion of your account data. We will delete or anonymize subject to legal, security, and accounting requirements.

20) Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable there. Courts in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan have exclusive jurisdiction. If consumer law in your jurisdiction mandates different protections, those prevail.
