Table of contents
1. Who we are
Fous Technologies, Inc. (“Fous,” “we,” “us”) is a Delaware corporation (file number 10367376) at 2261 Market Street, STE 86843, San Francisco, CA 94114, United States. Legal notices, including from authorities: legal@fous.com. Support: hello@fous.com. Billing: billing@fous.com. Privacy: privacy@fous.com. Security: hello@fous.com.
2. These Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of fous.com, Fous Studio, the Fous API and MCP server, agent connections, and related services (the “Service”). You accept them by continuing at sign-in, by creating an Organization, by using an agent connection code, or by using the Service. If you accept for a company, you confirm that you may bind it, and “you” includes it.
Where Fous processes personal data for you, the Data Processing Addendum is part of these Terms. The Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data for our own purposes.
These Terms are dated November 10, 2026 and apply from that date.
3. Accounts and eligibility
You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract, and no law, including sanctions law, may bar you from using the Service. Keep your account details accurate.
An Organization is a workspace that holds Members, API keys, Credits, Connections, and Methods; its owners and admins control it and can see its activity. You are responsible for all activity under your account and Organization, including by Members, your software and AI agents, and anyone using a key you issued. Do not create several accounts or Organizations to get extra free Credits or to get around limits or a suspension.
4. The Service
Methods. A Method is a reusable way to read data from, or take actions on, a website, app, or API that Fous does not operate (a “Target Site”). A private Method belongs to one Organization; anyone can run a public Method, with their own accounts and keys.
No site is guaranteed. Target Sites change and may block automated access at any time, so a Method may fail, return incomplete or outdated data, or stop working, and we cannot build one for every site or task. We may change, repair, or retire Methods.
Connections. When you connect an account or save a key for a Target Site, you confirm that you are authorized to use it and to let Fous use it. Fous may sign in and act through it on your instructions and to keep your Methods working. A Target Site may limit, lock, or close an account used this way; that risk is yours.
Actions. Some Methods take actions, such as submitting a form, sending a message, or buying something. An action runs when you, a Member, your software, or an agent using your keys requests it, and once during a Build of a Method that takes it. You are bound by every action requested through your account as if you had taken it yourself. Actions may not be reversible; if a run ends without confirming the outcome, check the Target Site before you retry.
AI and Output. The builder, repairs, and other features use AI, whose results can be wrong. Review the results the Service returns (“Output”) before you rely on them or let them trigger actions. As between you and Fous, you own your Output; data from a Target Site may belong to others.
Changes. We may change features, the providers we use, and usage limits.
5. Acceptable use
You are responsible for the websites, accounts, and data you use with Fous, and for having permission to use them: your use must comply with the law, the terms of any Target Site you agreed to, and the rights of others. We do not check this for you, and the existence of a Method does not make a use lawful. If Output contains personal data, you are its controller.
Do not use the Service to:
- break the law, or commit fraud, phishing, impersonation, or other deception;
- create or spread malware, spam, or child sexual abuse material (we report it to NCMEC), or harass, threaten, stalk, or dox anyone;
- collect, generate, or distribute sexually explicit material;
- access accounts, systems, or data without authorization, stuff credentials, scan for vulnerabilities without permission, or overload a Target Site;
- infringe intellectual property or other rights;
- track or profile individuals, build biometric databases, or infer sensitive traits without a lawful basis;
- decide people’s eligibility for credit, employment, insurance, or housing, or act as a consumer reporting agency, without complying with the U.S. Fair Credit Reporting Act and similar laws;
- process protected health information under HIPAA, or rely on Fous as a bank, payment institution, or other licensed service; or
- develop weapons, or do anything where a failure could cause death, injury, or serious damage.
Do not abuse Fous: do not share or sell API keys, resell the Service on its own, get around rate limits, Credit balance checks, or billing, copy the index of public Methods in bulk, probe or reverse engineer our systems, or interfere with the Service or other customers.
Report abuse, illegal content, or a legal concern about a Method to legal@fous.com. Copyright notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act go to our Copyright Agent at the address above or that email and must include what 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) requires; we close the accounts of repeat infringers. We may monitor use of the Service, refuse requests, remove Methods or content, and restrict accounts that break the law or these Terms, and we give our reasons where practical.
6. Your content and our license
“Customer Content” is what you and your Members submit, such as requests, inputs, credentials, and feedback, the Methods you build, and your Output. You keep your rights in it.
You grant Fous a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, transmit, and modify Customer Content to operate, secure, debug, support, and improve the Service, and to train Fous’s own models on build requests and run records unless your Organization opts out by emailing privacy@fous.com. Fous never discloses one customer’s Customer Content to another, except public Methods.
Public Methods. When you make a Method public, you grant Fous a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, run, repair, modify, describe, and distribute it, and to let anyone run it. It stays public, also if your Organization is deleted; to ask for its removal, write to legal@fous.com. The license does not cover your credentials or private data, and you confirm that the Method’s request, name, and inputs contain neither. Building a public Method does not entitle you to payment.
Confidentiality. We keep your non-public Customer Content confidential: we use it only as these Terms allow and disclose it only to our service providers, advisers, and a buyer or successor in a corporate transaction under confidentiality duties, where the law requires, or to respond to a legal claim about your use.
Your promises. You have the rights needed to submit Customer Content and to direct the Service to the Target Sites you choose. Do not submit payment card numbers or special categories of personal data unless the law allows it.
Fous’s rights. Fous owns the Service, including the Methods it builds, and may freely use data about how the Service is used, aggregated data that identifies no one, and your feedback. Names and logos of Target Sites belong to their owners.
7. Credits, plans, and payments
Prices. Prices are in U.S. dollars. Each plan’s price, Credits, price for extra Credits and limits, such as runs at once, runs per minute, Methods, website logins and run history, are shown on our pricing page and in Studio. Paid use draws on your Organization’s Credits. We may change prices and what each use costs in Credits for the future; if we raise a plan’s price, we email you first, and the new price applies from your next renewal.
Credits, the units paid use draws on, have no cash value, belong to the Organization that holds them, and cannot be transferred. Purchased Credits, including those bought on a plan, do not expire while the Organization exists, and Credits bought under a custom offer expire as the offer states. Plan Credits are granted each month of a paid plan, also on annual plans, expire at the end of that month, and do not roll over. Free Credits, such as welcome Credits, are given once per person and may be withdrawn if obtained through abuse.
Plans renew automatically. A plan renews every month or every year, as you chose, and we charge your saved payment method at the start of each period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in Studio under Billing; the plan stays active until the end of the paid period.
Extra Credits are charged automatically. On Pro and Business they are on from the start; on Starter, once you turn them on in Studio. While they are on, when your Credits run low, you authorize us to charge your saved payment method for more Credits at your plan’s price for extra Credits, up to your monthly limit for extra Credits (your plan’s monthly price unless you change it), until you turn them off. If you set up auto-recharge yourself, we charge the Credits you set, up to your daily limit. You can change the limit or turn extra Credits off at any time in Studio under Billing.
Payment and taxes. You authorize Fous and its payment processor to charge the payment methods you provide. Taxes we charge are shown at checkout; you are responsible for any others, such as reverse-charge VAT. If a payment fails or is reversed, we may suspend paid use, remove the Credits it bought, and recover any negative balance.
Refunds. Purchases are final and Credits are non-refundable. We may give a refund at our discretion, and we give refunds where the law requires. Report billing errors to billing@fous.com within 60 days of the charge.
8. API keys and security
Keep API keys and credentials secret and on your servers; do not share or publish them. You are responsible for anything done with your keys. If you think a key was exposed, revoke it and tell us at hello@fous.com. Report vulnerabilities in Fous to the same address, without accessing other people’s data or disrupting the Service.
9. Availability
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” Unless a separate written agreement says otherwise, we do not promise any uptime, speed, or support. The Service depends on networks, providers, and Target Sites that we do not control. Features marked beta or preview may change or end at any time.
10. Disclaimers
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, FOUS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. FOUS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY METHOD WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT ANY TARGET SITE WILL STAY ACCESSIBLE, THAT ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE, THAT ANY ACTION WILL SUCCEED, OR THAT ANY USE IS LAWFUL OR ALLOWED BY A TARGET SITE.
11. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS: (A) NEITHER FOUS NOR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR ACCOUNTS (INCLUDING ACCOUNTS ON TARGET SITES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND EVEN IF FORESEEABLE; AND (B) FOUS’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES YOU PAID FOUS IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
These limits do not apply to liability that the law does not allow to be limited, such as for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
12. Indemnity
You will defend Fous and its affiliates, officers, and employees against any third-party claim, investigation, or proceeding arising from your Customer Content, your use of Target Sites, Connections, and actions, the data you collect through the Service, or your breach of these Terms or the law, and pay the resulting losses, settlements, and reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees. This does not cover claims caused by Fous’s breach of these Terms. We will tell you about a claim promptly, and you may not settle it in a way that binds Fous without our consent.
13. Suspension and termination
You can stop using the Service at any time, and an owner can delete an Organization in Studio. That revokes its API keys, deletes its Connections and private Methods, cancels its plan, and forfeits its unused Credits; its public Methods remain.
We may suspend or limit your access if you breach these Terms, if your use creates a security, legal, or operational risk, if a payment fails, or if the law or a provider we rely on requires it, and we tell you where practical. We may close your account or Organization for a material or repeated breach, for fraud or illegal use, or for any other reason with 30 days’ notice, in which case we refund your unused purchased Credits. Sections that by their nature should survive termination survive it.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. If a change takes something away from you, we email your account before it applies to you. Other changes take effect when published. If you keep using the Service after a change applies, you accept it. The date at the top shows the current version.
15. Export controls and sanctions
You must comply with the export-control and sanctions laws that apply to you. You confirm that neither you nor anyone using your account is in a country or region under comprehensive U.S. sanctions or on a U.S. or other applicable restricted-party list, and you will not use the Service for prohibited end uses, such as weapons of mass destruction.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms and any dispute about them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts in New Castle County, Delaware, have exclusive jurisdiction, and both parties consent to it; either party may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court. To the extent the law allows, a claim must be brought within one year after it arises and only individually, not in a class or representative action, and BOTH PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. Fous is made for business use; nothing in these Terms limits rights that the law gives consumers and that cannot be changed by contract.
17. General
These Terms, the Data Processing Addendum, and any agreement you sign with Fous, which prevails over these Terms, are the entire agreement about the Service. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or a successor. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except in paying. We send notices to your account email or in the Service; send legal notices to legal@fous.com. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force, and not enforcing a provision is not a waiver. California users may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or (800) 952-5210.
