DRAFT — pending legal review. This document is a working draft, not final legal advice, and may change before it is adopted. It is served so applicants can read the proposed terms while the registration pipeline is live.
Version: 2026-11-15-draft. Effective (draft): 15 November 2026. These terms are between the registering API provider (“Provider”, “you”) and BitTuitive (“we”, “us”). Contact for notices and takedown: [email protected].
BitTuitive operates a paid data router and marketplace. Providers may apply to list an HTTPS API that charges per call with L402 (Lightning). Nothing is listed or routed automatically. BitTuitive reviews each application and may approve, reject, or later delist a Provider at any time, for any reason or for no reason, including suspected licensing problems, quality, abuse, or operational limits.
You represent and warrant that:
A registration or an attestation does not make BitTuitive a licensee of your upstream source. You are the seller of the data; BitTuitive is the marketplace and router.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BitTuitive and its operators from and against any claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your data, your API, your listings, your marketing, your breach of these terms, or any allegation that we routed or displayed data you did not have the right to sell or redistribute.
When we route a call to you, BitTuitive pays the Provider’s listed L402 price (the amount on your invoice) and charges the agent that price plus BitTuitive’s routing fee. The fee is currently 25% of the Provider’s price, with a minimum of 5 sats, and is added on top of your price; it is not deducted from what you receive. We may change the fee with notice on this page and in our public docs. You keep your own Lightning proceeds from invoices we pay. There is no exclusivity: you may sell the same API elsewhere, and we may route equivalent data types to other Providers.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, freshness, and lawfulness of your data and for your API’s availability, security, and invoices. BitTuitive does not guarantee your data, does not endorse it, and is not liable for decisions made using it. We may probe your endpoint (including requesting an unpaid L402 challenge) without paying, and we may cap prices we will route. Payment protocol x402 may be declared in a registration but is not routed until BitTuitive’s router supports it.
We may refuse an application or delist an approved Provider at any time. We will typically note a reason for our own records (for example a denylisted source, a failed L402 probe, a price above our caps, or a rights complaint) but we are not required to keep a listing up. If you want to be removed, email [email protected].
Copyright or rights complaints (DMCA-style takedown) should be sent to [email protected] with the URL or provider name, a description of the work, the basis of the claim, and your contact details. We may delist promptly while we review.
These terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, or exclusive agency. Public listings of approved Providers will not include your contact email. You grant us a non-exclusive right to name your API, host, disclosed source, and attribution line in our catalog, documentation, and routed responses for as long as you are listed (and as needed in historical logs).
We may update these draft or final terms. The attestation version recorded with your application is the text you accepted. Continued use after a posted update of an approved listing means you accept the revised terms, unless we ask you to re-attest.
If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These draft terms are governed by the laws applicable to BitTuitive’s operations, without a chosen-forum commitment until legal review is complete.
