Terms of Service
Last updated: March 27, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the docule.dev website and API service ("Service") operated by docule.dev ("we", "us", "our"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
1. Account registration
To use the API, you must create an account by providing a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and API keys. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
You may not create multiple free accounts to circumvent usage limits.
2. API usage
The Service provides document parsing via a REST API. You may use the API for any lawful purpose, subject to these Terms and your plan's rate limits and quotas.
You agree not to:
- Exceed your plan's rate limits or attempt to bypass them
- Use the Service to process illegal content
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service
- Resell access to the API without our written consent
- Use automated means to create accounts or generate API keys
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
3. Plans and billing
Free plan. Includes 500 credits per month at no cost. No credit card required.
Paid plans. Subscriptions are billed monthly via Stripe. You may upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from the billing dashboard. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period.
Overage. On paid plans, usage beyond included credits is billed at the per-credit overage rate for your plan. Overage charges are calculated monthly.
Credits. One credit equals one parsed page. Credits reset at the start of each billing period and do not roll over.
4. Your content
You retain all rights to documents you upload and the parsed output. We do not claim any ownership or license to your content.
Documents are processed in memory and are not stored. Parsed results are cached for up to 24 hours for retrieval, then permanently deleted.
5. Service availability
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may perform maintenance with reasonable advance notice when possible.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) with 30 days' notice. In the event of discontinuation, prepaid subscription fees for unused periods will be refunded.
6. API keys
API keys are confidential credentials. You are responsible for all activity under your API keys. If you believe a key has been compromised, revoke it immediately from the dashboard and generate a new one.
We store API keys as cryptographic hashes. We cannot recover a lost key — you must create a new one.
7. Limitation of liability
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages
- Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim
- We are not liable for the accuracy or completeness of parsed output
You are responsible for verifying parsed output before using it in critical decisions.
8. Termination
You may close your account at any time by contacting us at support@docule.dev.
We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, with notice where reasonably possible. Upon termination, your API keys are revoked and cached results are deleted.
9. Intellectual property
The Service, including its design, code, and documentation, is our intellectual property. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or branding.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the website at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Helsinki, Finland.
