Terms of Service · goldprice.dev

1. Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the goldprice.dev website, API, Model Context Protocol server, documentation, and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by Nusantara Ventures, LLC ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account, subscribing to a paid tier, or otherwise accessing the Service, you ("you", "Customer") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms by posting a new version and its effective date here. Earlier versions are available on request from hello@goldprice.dev. Accounts created before 2026-10-08 keep v0.4.7 while they stay on their current plan, unless they choose these Terms. These Terms apply to accounts created on or after 2026-10-08. Accounts on v0.7.0 move automatically to v0.7.1, effective 2026-10-17.

2. The Service

The Service provides (a) gold, silver and copper spot prices from a licensed primary market data provider; (b) gold, silver, and copper futures settlement curves and a multi-horizon forward view derived from publicly available delayed feeds (typically ~15 minutes behind real-time), available only on legacy plans (existing subscriptions to Physical, the older Pro, Realtime Pro or legacy Basic); (c) per-country physical dealer and retail gold prices, with premium-over-spot, aggregated from publicly accessible dealer, mint, and benchmark sources.

Gold and silver use a licensed backup provider only while the primary is unavailable. Free and keyless access receive the same prices 15 minutes late. Paid plans receive them live. Other sources supply history, permitted physical prices and FX conversion for non-USD prices. The data is not an official benchmark. We hold no licence from any benchmark administrator. Requests with ?include=sources return a sources[] array. See /methodology for price selection.

3. Accounts and Credentials

You are responsible for all activity under your account. API keys issued by the Service are confidential credentials. You agree to keep API keys secret and rotate them promptly if exposed, not share, resell, or publicly expose your API keys, and notify us at support@goldprice.dev with subject prefix [SECURITY] within 24 hours of any suspected key compromise.

We reserve the right to revoke or rotate API keys at our discretion to protect the Service's integrity, including in response to suspected abuse, credential leakage, or violation of these Terms.

4. Subscriptions and Billing

The Service is offered at Free, Basic ($19/mo), Plus ($39/mo), and Pro ($89/mo) tiers. Physical, the older Pro plan, Realtime Pro and legacy Basic are no longer offered; existing subscriptions retain their plan, price, limits and rights while active, until they cancel or change plans. Billing is handled by Stripe, Inc. and is subject to Stripe's own terms. By subscribing, you authorize recurring monthly (or yearly, if selected) charges to the payment method on file.

Cancellation. You may cancel at any time via the Customer Portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Access continues until the period end; after that, your account downgrades to the Free tier.

No refunds. Paid subscriptions are non-refundable on a pro-rata basis for partial months. In cases of serious service disruption materially affecting your business, we may offer goodwill accommodation on a case-by-case basis, at our discretion. No automated credit or refund scheme applies.

Price changes. Prices may change with 30 days' notice via email. Your current subscription price is honored through the notice period. Grandfathered plans are exempt: if your plan (Physical, older Pro, Realtime Pro or legacy Basic) has been closed to new subscriptions, your price is fixed for the life of that subscription and a general price change does not apply to you unless you change plans or your subscription lapses.

Taxes. Prices shown are exclusive of applicable taxes. Taxes are your responsibility per your local jurisdiction. We do not collect or remit taxes on your behalf at this time.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to violate any applicable law or regulation; interfere with, disrupt, or degrade the Service's availability; reverse-engineer, decompile, or access non-public portions; circumvent rate limits, authentication, or tier gating; scrape, aggregate, or bulk-export Service data beyond what your tier's rate limits and export features permit; build a substantially similar competing API product that primarily resells our data; or generate, store, or distribute content that infringes intellectual property rights, violates privacy, or is otherwise unlawful. Violation may result in suspension or termination without refund.

6. Commercial Use and Redistribution

Sourcing posture. Live spot prices come from licensed market data providers. Their terms allow us to display prices to our customers, but do not allow customers to pass them on as data. Other data comes from public and permitted sources. The display and redistribution rules are set out below.

Free tier: commercial use is permitted. Legacy Physical and legacy Basic tiers: personal, non-commercial, or internal-use-only. You may not redistribute data from the Service to third parties at these tiers.

No plan, including Free, permits redistribution or resale of the data without a separate written agreement. Contact hello@goldprice.dev.

No plan requires a credit or link to goldprice.dev. Your plan's display rights apply on any number of websites and apps operated by you or by companies that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with you.

Official Widget License. As a specific exception to the tier restrictions above, you may display the unmodified official goldprice.dev gold price iframe published at /widgets/gold-price on personal or commercial websites without an account or paid subscription. You must keep the iframe's visible "Powered by goldprice.dev" link intact and unobscured. You may not proxy, rebrand, modify, extract, or redistribute the widget's underlying data. White-label or modified presentation rights require a separate written Enterprise agreement.

Basic, Plus, Pro, older Pro and Realtime Pro permit commercial use, including embedding the data in your own products and services, subject to the requirements below.

Display in your products. You may show prices, and values you derive from them such as karat prices or your own buy and sell prices, to end users of your products and services. This includes screens, displays and widgets that you run for your own customers.
No redistribution. You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense or otherwise pass on raw or derived data through your own API, SDK, data feed, file export or dataset, or build a competing data product from it on any plan without a separate written agreement with us. Contact hello@goldprice.dev.
User responsibility for upstream compliance. Some downstream uses, including investment products and regulated financial instruments, may require you to obtain your own licences from benchmark administrators, exchanges or venues. We grant no such licence.
No misrepresentation. You may not present goldprice.dev data as an official benchmark or as licensed directly from any specific benchmark administrator.

Enterprise tier: commercial terms are negotiated in a separate written agreement that supersedes this section.

7. Data Methodology and Accuracy

Spot gold, silver and copper prices pass through one licensed source at a time, without blending or averaging. A backup serves gold and silver during primary outages. Non-USD gold multiplies USD spot by live FX rates. Our methodology is published at /methodology and updated when sources or calculations change.

No warranty of accuracy. Data is provided "as is." We make no warranty that the data is accurate, complete, current, or fit for any particular purpose. Do not use the Service as the sole data source for safety-critical, regulatory, or high-value financial decisions without independent verification.

Staleness and quality flags. Responses include is_stale, which becomes true when the served source falls behind its expected refresh window. Consumers must check this flag and handle stale data appropriately.

Add ?include=sources to receive sources[], showing the source that produced the price, with its price, fetched_at and source_timestamp. Each spot price has one source.

Historical data. Pre-1971 historical price data reflects statutory pegged prices (US Mint rate, Bretton Woods) and is provided for reference context only, not for backtesting market volatility or trading logic.

8. API Access, Rate Limits, and Enforcement

Each tier includes published per-minute rate limits, monthly quotas, and feature-scope gates (historical data window, WebSocket streaming, bulk export, MCP tool depth). When you exceed a limit, the Service returns HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-* response headers indicating the limit, remaining quota, and reset timestamp. Persistent abuse after 429 responses may result in temporary or permanent access suspension.

Rate limits are enforced per organization (via your API key → organization mapping). Sharing keys across organizations or circumventing the per-org bucket is a violation of Section 5.

9. Service Availability

We aim for 99.9% monthly uptime at paid tiers as an operational target, not as a contractual service level agreement (SLA). Self-serve tiers (Free, Basic, Plus, Pro and grandfathered Physical, older Pro, Realtime Pro and legacy Basic) carry no formal SLA, no credit scheme, and no remediation obligation at this stage of the Service's maturity.

Real-time and historical uptime data is published at https://stats.uptimerobot.com/C3aSMAxosB. Planned maintenance, incidents, and resolutions are announced on the status page and via email to affected paying customers. Enterprise customers may negotiate formal SLA terms, including credit schedules, in a separate written agreement.

10. Communications

Transactional emails (account notifications, billing, incident updates, welcome messages, onboarding) are sent via Resend. You cannot opt out of transactional email while maintaining an active account. Marketing emails require opt-in consent and include unsubscribe links in every message.

Customer support inquiries sent to support@goldprice.dev are reviewed by a human and responded to as time permits. We may introduce AI-assisted draft generation in a future revision; if and when we do, this section will be updated and the change communicated to customers per Section 1.

11. Privacy and Data Handling

See our Privacy Policy at /privacy for full details. Summary: account data (email, payment details via Stripe, API usage metadata) is retained for the duration of your account plus 90 days after closure, except where longer retention is required by law; support tickets are retained for 18 months from the date of the ticket, then auto-purged; API request logs are retained for 90 days in aggregate anonymized form for abuse detection and service improvement. On written request to support@goldprice.dev, we will delete your account and associated data within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements.

12. Intellectual Property

You retain all rights to content and queries you submit to the Service. We retain all rights to the Service itself, including source code, aggregation methodology, derived data products, branding, and documentation. Limited license rights granted to you are described in Section 6. No other license is granted or implied.

13. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers, notably:

Stripe, Inc. (payment processing)

A full, current list of sub-processors, including hosting, database, cache, email delivery, error monitoring, and CDN providers, is maintained at /privacy/subprocessors and updated when sub-processors change. Material changes to the sub-processor list are reflected on that page without requiring a ToS revision.

Each third-party service is governed by its own terms. We are not responsible for third-party service outages, data breaches, or policy changes, though we undertake reasonable efforts to maintain continuity through monitoring, redundancy where practical, and documented incident response procedures.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account for violation of these Terms, non-payment, fraud, abuse, or legal requirement, with or without prior notice. On termination, paid fees for the current period are non-refundable, and your data access ceases immediately (or at period end for amicable cancellations per Section 4). You may terminate your account at any time via the Customer Portal or by emailing support@goldprice.dev.

15. Disclaimers

Informational use only. The Service provides commodity reference data for informational purposes. Nothing in the Service constitutes investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, or a licensed financial product. The Service is not regulated by any securities authority. You are solely responsible for any decisions made using the Service.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy of data. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will be suitable for your intended use.

16. Limitation of Liability and Remedies

Nusantara Ventures, LLC operates goldprice.dev. To the extent the law allows, service credit is your sole and exclusive remedy for any failure of goldprice.dev or its data. Credits provide up to 3 free months of your current paid plan in any 12 months. Free-plan users receive no credits. We provide no cash reimbursement. Credits are not cash, cannot be transferred, and expire when your account closes. We exclude liability for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, and lost data. We also exclude liability for losses from trading, investment or other financial decisions made using the data, and for downstream consequences of those decisions. If money claims remain available, our total liability for all claims relating to goldprice.dev is limited to the fees you paid for goldprice.dev in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including non-waivable consumer rights.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of third-party rights.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes are resolved in the courts of the State of Delaware, United States, except where you have non-waivable rights to a local forum under applicable consumer law. For smaller disputes, both parties agree to attempt informal resolution via email before formal legal action.

19. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and methodology document, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.

Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder continues in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of future enforcement.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or acquirer in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
