These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of bind.co ("bind," "we," "our," "us"). By using bind, you agree to these Terms.
bind is infrastructure for user-authorized inbox data. These Terms describe how the system operates, how data is processed, and how responsibility is allocated.
Applies to All
Applies to All
bind operates infrastructure and maintains records as a neutral system of record for authorization and access, including:
bind does not:
bind provides infrastructure and records—not outcomes.
Applies to All
Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or fiduciary relationship between bind and any End User or Developer.
Applies to End Users
By authorizing access, you permit bind to process inbox contents as necessary to produce Outputs and provide an App access to the Scopes you approve.
You may review, approve, decline, or revoke Authorization at any time.
Applies to End Users
Some requests are broad or sensitive by nature (for example, unusually broad access or sensitive document categories). For such requests, bind may, at its discretion, require additional review and explicit approval.
bind may deny, limit, or require clarification of requests that are insufficiently scoped or present elevated risk.
Applies to End Users
You may revoke Authorization at any time.
Following revocation, bind will cease providing future access under that Authorization. Apps are required to stop requesting new data under the revoked Authorization.
bind may suspend or terminate End User access where necessary to address abuse of the service (including attempts to circumvent technical controls or fraudulent authorization), security risk, or legal obligation.
Authorization history and audit records may be retained to preserve integrity, security, and accountability.
Applies to End Users
Outputs reflect inbox contents as observed at a specific point in time. Inbox contents may change after that point. bind does not undertake to retroactively reconcile prior Outputs with subsequent inbox changes.
Applies to Developers/Apps
You must:
Developers may store Outputs as necessary to operate their applications. Once Outputs are delivered, Developers are responsible for their own retention, deletion, and compliance obligations.
Upon revocation of Authorization, Developers must cease use of and delete previously received Outputs, except where retention is required to comply with applicable law or regulatory obligations. bind does not control or warrant downstream deletion within Developer systems.
Applies to Developers/Apps
You may not:
bind may restrict or suspend access to protect End Users, system integrity, and security.
Applies to Developers/Apps
Developers agree to indemnify bind against third-party claims arising from misuse of Outputs, misrepresentation to End Users, regulatory non-compliance, or downstream decisions.
Developer indemnification will not apply to the extent a third-party claim arises solely from bind's material breach of these Terms or bind's negligence.
bind provides limited reciprocal indemnification for claims arising solely from bind's material breach or negligence, subject to the limitations and caps set forth in the applicable Developer Agreement or Order Form.
Applies to All
bind applies technical controls designed to enforce Scope and maintains records of:
To produce authorized Outputs, bind may process inbox contents as necessary, including historical messages and attachments. Apps are intended to receive only scoped Outputs and never direct access to the full inbox.
Applies to All
bind may provide metadata such as source indicators, timestamps, extraction context, and confidence signals. These explain how information was derived, not whether it is authentic or valid.
Applies to All
bind uses automated systems and models. Outputs may be probabilistic, may vary over time, and identical inputs may not always produce identical Outputs. bind does not guarantee determinism.
Applies to All
Confidence or certainty indicators reflect model-level extraction certainty only. They are not guarantees of accuracy, authenticity, or suitability.
Applies to All
Outputs are provided "as available." bind disclaims warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, non-infringement, authenticity, or fitness for a particular purpose.
Applies to All
Outputs are intended to inform workflows, not decide them. End Users and Apps remain responsible for judgment, validation, and compliance.
Applies to All
bind does not undertake fraud detection and has no obligation to identify forged or misleading content. Validation and verification are the responsibility of Apps.
Nothing in this section limits bind's ability to comply with lawful requests, cooperate with authorities where required, or fulfill incident response obligations.
Applies to All
bind does not undertake a general duty to monitor inbox contents for legality, accuracy, or compliance.
Applies to All
bind maintains safeguards designed to be reasonable and appropriate to the nature of the service, consistent with industry-standard practices. No system is breach-proof.
Applies to All
bind relies on third-party services and is not responsible for upstream outages, changes, or limitations beyond its reasonable control.
Applies to All
bind does not guarantee uninterrupted service. For material, breaking API changes affecting production use, bind will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least 90 days' notice where practicable. Non-breaking changes may occur without notice.
Applies to All
Beta or experimental features may change or be discontinued and are provided without additional assurances.
Applies to All
bind may, subject to reasonable limits and confidentiality obligations, provide access to Authorization records, access history, and provenance information.
Applies to All
bind does not sell End User data and does not use it for advertising.
bind may use aggregated or anonymized data, which cannot reasonably be linked back to an End User, for service improvement, benchmarking, security, and abuse detection.
Applies to All
Outputs are retained to support ongoing authorized use and are retained for as long as the applicable Authorization remains active, unless earlier deletion is requested by the End User.
Upon deletion:
Authorization records, access logs, and audit history may be retained as necessary to preserve integrity, security, and legal accountability.
Applies to All
bind may process data across jurisdictions and use subprocessors. Applicable cross-border transfer mechanisms will be described in a Data Processing Addendum when available.
Applies to All
bind maintains an incident response process designed to meet applicable legal obligations.
Applies to Developers/Apps
Fees and payment terms are governed by the applicable Developer Agreement or Order Form, not these Terms.
Applies to All
bind retains all right, title, and interest in and to the bind platform, systems, software, models, schemas, processing methods, and derived metadata (including confidence signals and classifications).
Outputs are proprietary service artifacts of bind, generated by the bind service, subject to the limited licenses granted in these Terms and any applicable Developer Agreement.
End Users retain any rights they may have in their underlying inbox content.
Subject to these Terms and any applicable Developer Agreement, bind grants Developers a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Outputs solely for the authorized purpose disclosed to the End User. No ownership rights in Outputs or bind systems are transferred.
Applies to All
To the maximum extent permitted by law, bind will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, even if advised of the possibility.
For Developers, bind's total liability arising out of or relating to these Terms is capped as set forth in the applicable Developer Agreement or Order Form.
For End Users, bind's total liability for direct damages is limited to the greater of fees paid to bind in the preceding twelve months or CAD $100, except where liability cannot be limited under applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable consumer protection law.
Applies to All
bind will not be liable for failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, labor disputes, government actions, or failures of third-party infrastructure.
Applies to All
bind may terminate these Terms or discontinue all or part of the service at any time, with or without notice, where permitted by law. Upon termination, access to the service may end immediately, and Sections intended to survive will survive.
Applies to All
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada. Nothing in these Terms limits End User rights that cannot be waived under applicable consumer protection law.
Applies to All
Sections relating to intellectual property, indemnification, limitation of liability, data retention, audit records, governing law, and any provisions which by their nature should survive, survive termination or expiration of these Terms.
Applies to All
These Terms constitute the entire agreement regarding the subject matter hereof. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without consent, except as permitted by law.
Applies to All
