Terms of Service

The agreement between you and the operator of serper.live for the website, the account area and the API at api.serper.live. Read it before you create an account or send a request: it sets out what you buy, how you pay, what we do not guarantee and how disputes are handled.

Agreement and parties

Serper.live is operated from Ukraine by its owner (the "Operator", "we", "us"). These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between the Operator and you (the "Customer", "you") and govern the website serper.live, the account area and the API at api.serper.live (together, the "Service").

You accept the Terms by creating an account, adding credit, sending a request to the API or otherwise using the Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you act on behalf of a company or another legal entity, you represent that you are authorised to bind it, and "you" includes that entity.

The Terms, the Privacy Policy, the pricing page and the documentation together are the entire agreement between us and replace any earlier discussions or arrangements. The English version of the Terms prevails over any translation.

02

The Service

On request, the Service runs a live search on Google for the market and device you choose and returns the organic results it finds as JSON. Results reflect what Google displayed at that moment through our infrastructure. We do not cache, edit, verify, rank or guarantee them, and the same query may return different results at another time or from another location.

The Service is a technical tool. You alone decide whether and how to use it and the results, and you are solely responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you and with the terms of any third party whose content or services you access or process through the Service, including Google. Serper.live is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google; Google and the Google logo are trademarks of Google LLC.

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service, including markets, prices, limits and features, at any time. Current markets, prices and technical limits are shown on the pricing page and in the documentation. A free playground on the website lets visitors run a small number of searches per day for evaluation only; we may restrict or withdraw it at any time without notice.

03

Eligibility, accounts and API tokens

  • You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement. You must provide a valid email address and keep it current.
  • You are responsible for everything done through your account and your API tokens, whether or not you authorised it. Keep your password and tokens confidential, create a separate token for each application, revoke tokens you no longer need and notify us at [email protected] immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.
  • We may refuse to open an account, and may suspend or close an account at any time, where we reasonably believe that the account is used in breach of the Terms, for fraud, for unlawful activity, in a way that harms the Service or other customers, or where continuing to serve you would expose us to legal or regulatory risk.
  • You may not transfer or share your account. We may require you to verify your identity or the source of your funds where we or our providers are obliged to do so.
04

Credit and billing

  • The Service is prepaid. Your account holds credit denominated in US dollars. Credit is a prepayment for the Service only: it is not money, has no cash value except as expressly stated in the refunds section, is not transferable and does not earn interest.
  • Each market has a price per successful request, shown on the pricing page. When a request starts, the current price is reserved from your credit. A request is successful, and is charged, when the live search completes and results are returned to you, even if the set of results is empty.
  • If a request fails on our side (any 5xx response, including timeouts, captcha failures, proxy failures and capacity limits), the reserved amount is released back to your credit. This automatic release is your sole and exclusive remedy for a failed request.
  • We may change prices at any time for future requests. The price reserved for a request that is already running does not change.
  • We may correct billing errors in either direction. If you believe a charge is wrong, tell us at [email protected] within 30 days of the charge; after that, the ledger in your account is deemed accepted.
  • You are responsible for any taxes, duties or charges that apply to your purchase of credit or your use of the Service, other than taxes on our income.
05

Payments in cryptocurrency

Credit is added by sending USDT or USDC to the deposit address shown in your account. One USDT or USDC is credited as one US dollar regardless of market rates. By sending a deposit you acknowledge and accept the following:

  • You must send exactly the amount, asset and network shown on the payment page, in a single transfer, within the time shown. Network fees are yours and must be paid on top of the amount.
  • Blockchain transfers are irreversible. Funds sent in a different asset or network, to a different address, from an unsupported service or in breach of the instructions on the payment page may be permanently lost. We have no obligation to recover, credit or refund such funds, and we are not liable for their loss.
  • Credit is added only after the deposit is confirmed by our payment provider. A transfer that does not exactly match an open payment (different amount, expired payment, no payment created) is reviewed manually; we may credit it, return it less network and handling costs, or hold it pending verification, at our reasonable discretion.
  • You represent that the funds you send are yours and were obtained lawfully, that you are not subject to sanctions and that you are not acting for anyone who is. We may refuse, hold or return any deposit, and may request identity or source-of-funds information, where we or our providers consider it necessary to comply with anti-money-laundering, sanctions or other laws.
  • There are no chargebacks for cryptocurrency payments. We are not responsible for delays or failures of blockchain networks, wallets, exchanges or our payment provider.
  • We may add or remove supported assets and networks at any time; the current list is shown on the balance page.
06

Refunds

Except as expressly stated in this section, all credit is final and non-refundable.

  • Failed requests are released back to your credit automatically as described in the billing section; no refund request is needed and no other remedy applies.
  • Within 14 calendar days of your first deposit, if you have used less than 20% of the credit you purchased and are not in breach of the Terms, you may request one refund of your remaining purchased credit. Promotional or bonus credit is never refundable.
  • Refunds are paid only in the same asset and network you deposited, to a wallet address you name in your request from your account email, less the network fee of the transfer and any costs we incur. We do not pay refunds in fiat currency or to third parties.
  • Outside that window, or once 20% or more of the credit has been used, remaining credit is non-refundable. It does not expire and may be used at any time while your account is open.
  • If we discontinue the Service, or close your account for a reason other than your breach of the Terms, we will return your remaining purchased credit in the same way. If we close your account for breach, fraud or unlawful use, no refund is due.
  • Requests: [email protected] from your account email address, stating the wallet address for the transfer. We may verify your identity and the origin of the deposit before paying a refund.
07

Acceptable use

You must not, and must not allow anyone else to:

  • use the Service or the results in breach of any law, regulation or court order, to infringe the rights of any person, or in a way that violates the terms of any third party whose content or services are involved;
  • use the Service to harass, defame, discriminate against or stalk any person, or to collect personal data unlawfully;
  • attack, probe, scan or overload the Service, introduce malicious code, or attempt to circumvent rate limits, billing, the free-playground limits, authentication or any other security or technical measure;
  • share, sell, rent, sublicense or otherwise make your access or tokens available to third parties, or offer the Service to third parties as a reseller, without our prior written agreement;
  • copy, reverse engineer, decompile or create derivative works of the Service beyond what applicable law expressly permits;
  • use our name, logo or trademarks, or imply any affiliation with us or with Google, without our written consent.

We may monitor use of the Service for security, billing and compliance purposes, set and change technical limits (request size, concurrency, timeouts, daily volumes) and suspend or restrict access immediately where we suspect a breach. Where a breach causes us loss, we may set the loss off against your credit.

08

Availability, third parties and changes

We aim to keep the Service available, but we give no commitment as to uptime, response time or the success rate of searches, and we do not offer a service level agreement. Live searches depend on Google, on proxy networks, on captcha-solving services, on our payment provider and on other third parties that we do not control; any of them may change, fail or block traffic at any time. A search may take up to 90 seconds and may fail; failed requests are not charged.

We may perform maintenance, and may change, add or remove features, markets, limits and prices, at any time. Where practical, we will announce changes that remove functionality you rely on in the documentation, on the website or by email, but we are not obliged to give notice.

09

Intellectual property and feedback

The Service, including the website, the documentation, the software, the API design and all related content and marks, belongs to the Operator or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to the Terms and to your payment of credit, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access the API and use the results in your own products and business. No other rights are granted.

Search results and the content they refer to belong to their respective owners. We claim no rights in them, grant none, and accept no responsibility for how you use them. Any feedback, suggestions or ideas you send us may be used by us freely and without compensation.

10

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE AND THE RESULTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE RESULTS ARE CORRECT, THAT THEY MATCH WHAT ANY PARTICULAR USER OF GOOGLE WOULD SEE, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties to be excluded. In that case the exclusions above apply to the fullest extent permitted, and any non-excludable warranty is limited to the shortest period and the minimum remedy the law allows.

11

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA OR CRYPTOCURRENCY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, THE RESULTS OR THE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE THREE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. We are in particular not liable for funds sent in breach of the payment instructions, for actions of Google, Cloudflare, Binance or any other third party, or for your use of the results.

Nothing in the Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence are not affected by the Terms.

12

Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Operator and its owners, employees, contractors and providers from and against all claims, demands, proceedings, losses, damages, fines, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service or the results; (b) your breach of the Terms or of any law; (c) any claim by a third party, including Google or any content owner, in connection with your use of the Service; or (d) any dispute between you and your own customers or users. We may take over the defence of any claim at your expense, and you will cooperate with us.

13

Term, suspension and termination

The Terms apply from your first use of the Service until your account is closed. You may close your account at any time by emailing [email protected] from your account email. We may suspend or restrict the Service, or close your account, immediately and without prior notice where we suspect a breach of the Terms, fraud, unlawful use or a risk to the Service, to other customers or to us, and otherwise on reasonable notice.

On closure, your tokens stop working immediately, and remaining credit is handled as set out in the refunds section. Sections on billing, payments, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, governing law and general terms survive termination.

14

Force majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including war, hostilities, acts of state, power or network outages, attacks on infrastructure, actions or changes by Google or other third-party platforms, blockchain network failures, sanctions and changes in law.

15

Changes to the Terms

We may amend the Terms at any time by publishing the updated version on the website; the date at the top shows the current version. For material changes that reduce your rights we will give at least 14 days' notice by email to your account address or by a notice on the website. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date is your acceptance of the amended Terms. If you do not agree, your only remedy is to stop using the Service and close your account before that date.

16

Governing law and disputes

The Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of Ukraine, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before starting any proceedings you must send us a written description of the dispute at [email protected] and allow 30 days for an amicable resolution.

Any dispute that is not resolved amicably is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Ukraine. To the extent permitted by law, any claim against us must be brought within one year after it arose and only in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative proceeding. If you are a consumer, mandatory rules of your country of residence on jurisdiction and applicable law are not affected.

17

General

  • If any provision of the Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions remain in full force.
  • Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
  • We may assign or transfer the Terms and our rights under them, in whole or in part, without your consent, including to a successor of the Service. You may not assign the Terms without our written consent.
  • Notices to you may be given by email to your account address or by a notice on the website; notices to us must be sent to [email protected].
  • The Terms do not create any partnership, agency or employment relationship between us. Nothing in the Terms gives rights to any third party.
