Terms and Conditions

Last updated: Effective as of the date posted in our documentation. ExChek, Inc. (“ExChek,” “we,” “us,” “our”) is a Delaware corporation with a principal place of business in Dover, DE.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the ExChek skill, application programming interface (“API”), documentation, websites, and any related services (collectively, the “Service”). Use of the Service and of any repository materials (e.g., skills, templates) is also subject to the repository LICENSE (ExChek, Inc. Proprietary—see the LICENSE file in the exchekskills or exchekinc repository). By accessing or using the Service, you (“you,” “User”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

1. Definitions

  • “Agent” means any AI assistant, chatbot, or automated system you use to interact with or invoke the ExChek skill or API, including but not limited to Anthropic Claude (Claude Code, Claude desktop, Claude web, Claude CoWork), OpenAI ChatGPT, or any other third-party AI or agent platform.
  • “Skill” means the ExChek classification skill (instructions, prompts, templates, and references) that may be installed or used within an Agent to perform export control classification assistance.
  • “API” means the ExChek application programming interface (e.g., health and eCFR snapshot endpoints) made available at api.exchek.us or related URLs.
  • “Output” means any classification, report, recommendation, or other content generated by or with the assistance of the Service, including content produced by an Agent using the Skill or API.

2. Acceptance and Incorporation

By using the Service—whether directly or through any Agent (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, or another platform)—you agree to these Terms. You also acknowledge that you have read and agree to our Use of AI Disclaimer and Privacy Policy, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service or permit any Agent to use it on your behalf.

3. Use Through Multiple Agents and Platforms

The Service may be used in conjunction with various Agents and platforms, including Anthropic Claude (Claude Code, Claude desktop, Claude web, Claude CoWork), OpenAI ChatGPT, or other AI or agent environments. ExChek does not control and is not responsible for the availability, performance, or terms of those third-party platforms. Your use of the Service through any Agent is subject to both these Terms and the terms and policies of the platform or provider of that Agent. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service via any Agent complies with applicable law and with the policies of the platform you use.

4. Description of the Service

The Service provides (a) a Skill that instructs an Agent how to obtain regulatory data (e.g., 15 CFR Part 774, 22 CFR Part 121), apply order-of-review logic, and produce a draft classification memorandum; (b) an API that serves regulatory snapshot data (e.g., GET /api/ecfr/774, GET /api/ecfr/121); and (c) documentation. The Service is offered free of charge. Optional donation information is provided separately and does not create a contractual obligation. The Service is for informational and assistive purposes only and does not constitute legal, compliance, or regulatory advice.

5. Eligibility and Acceptable Use

You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the Service to violate any law, infringe any third-party rights, or transmit harmful or unlawful content. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users’ data, or any system or network. You are solely responsible for the inputs you (or your Agent) provide and for all decisions and actions you take based on any Output.

6. License and Restrictions

Subject to these Terms, ExChek grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal use in connection with export control classification assistance. You may not (a) resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or any Output in a manner that suggests ExChek endorses or is responsible for your determinations; (b) remove or alter any proprietary notices; (c) use the Service to build a competing product or service; or (d) use the API in a manner that exceeds reasonable request volume or disrupts the Service.

7. No Professional Advice

The Service and any Output are not a substitute for legal advice, compliance advice, or formal regulatory determinations. Export control classification can have significant legal and regulatory consequences. You are responsible for obtaining advice from qualified counsel or a qualified export compliance professional when appropriate. ExChek does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or suitability of any Output for your specific situation, jurisdiction, or transaction. Reliance on any Output is at your sole risk.

8. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. EXCHEK DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. EXCHEK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE. USE OF THE SERVICE THROUGH ANY AGENT (INCLUDING CLAUDE, CHATGPT, OR OTHERS) IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCHEK, INC. AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOUR USE OF ANY AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE, OR ANY OUTPUT. IN NO EVENT SHALL EXCHEK’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF EXCHEK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK OF USE.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ExChek, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to (a) your use of the Service or any Agent in connection with the Service, (b) your reliance on any Output, (c) your violation of these Terms or any law, or (d) any dispute between you and a third party (including a platform provider) relating to the Service or an Agent.

11. Termination

ExChek may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law, and General) will survive termination.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from or related to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

13. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will be posted in our documentation with an effective or “last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

14. General

These Terms, together with the Use of AI Disclaimer and Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ExChek regarding the Service. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. ExChek’s failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
