"Subscription" means an active, paid plan that grants you access to the Service.

"End User" means any individual or entity to whom you distribute, publish, or display API-Generated Content through your products or services.

"Enterprise Plan" means a custom subscription tier subject to a separate Master Service Agreement (MSA) executed between DivineAPI and Customer. Enterprise Plans may modify or supplement these Terms.

2. Your DivineAPI Account

To access the Service, you must create an account with accurate and complete information. You are responsible for:

Maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account credentials and API keys
All activities that occur under your account
Notifying DivineAPI immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach
Ensuring that the individual using the account is a human user (not an automated bot, except for legitimate API integrations)
Being at least 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater

You may not share your account credentials with third parties. Multiple individuals within your organization may access the Service under separate seats as permitted by your subscription plan.

3. Payment, Renewal, and Trials

3.1 Subscription Fees

Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, as selected at signup. All fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided in our Refund and Cancellation Policy.

3.2 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle at the then-current rates unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through your account settings or by emailing admin@divineapi.com. For customers in California, we provide auto-renewal notices in accordance with California Civil Code §17602. For customers in the European Union and United Kingdom, additional consumer protection rights may apply under local law.

3.3 Free Trial and Auto-Conversion

Free trials are 14 days in duration and require a valid payment method at signup. At the end of the 14-day trial period, your payment method will be automatically charged for the paid plan you selected at signup, unless you cancel before the trial ends. By providing a payment method, you authorize this automatic charge.

3.4 Price Changes

DivineAPI may revise pricing with at least 30 days' prior notice. New pricing applies at the start of the next billing cycle after the notice period. Existing prepaid commitments are unaffected.

3.5 Taxes

All fees exclude applicable taxes (including GST, VAT, sales tax, withholding tax). You are responsible for paying all taxes associated with your subscription, except those based on DivineAPI's net income.

3.6 Disputed Charges

You agree to notify DivineAPI of any billing disputes within 60 days of the relevant invoice or charge. Failure to dispute within this period constitutes acceptance of the charge.

4. License Grant for API-Generated Content

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and the maintenance of an active paid Subscription, DivineAPI grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to:

Publish API-Generated Content on any digital or print medium owned or operated by you, including websites, mobile applications, desktop applications, email newsletters, push notifications, SMS, and printed materials.
Store, cache, and persist API-Generated Content in your own systems, databases, and infrastructure for the duration of your active Subscription.
Distribute API-Generated Content to your End Users across all distribution channels, including web, mobile applications, email, push notifications, SMS, in-app messaging, and any other communication channel.
