Terms of service

1. The service operator

Ascend API is operated by Adenihun Abdulhawal, an individual operator based in Oyo State, Nigeria (“Ascend API”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Questions about these terms may be sent to thesage196@gmail.com.

2. Agreement and account responsibility

By creating an account, accessing or using Ascend API, you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you use the service for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these terms for that organisation. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure, maintaining accurate account information and all activity carried out through your account.

3. What Ascend API does

Ascend API lets you connect a Supabase project, inspect schema metadata, define REST API endpoints, create scoped API keys and route authorised requests to that connected project. Generated endpoint definitions are suggestions and configuration tools; they are not a substitute for your own security review, database permissions or testing.

4. Your databases, data and security obligations

You must own or have permission to connect each database and to process the data within it. You are responsible for your database, its availability, backups, access policies, Row Level Security, table and column exposure, API keys issued to users, and compliance with laws that apply to your data and use case.

Before publishing an endpoint, review its table, operation, columns and permissions. Use least privilege. Do not connect a production database until you understand the effect of each endpoint. A write or delete operation may change or remove records in your connected database. You are responsible for testing endpoints with non-production data and maintaining independent backups.

Never submit a Supabase service-role key, database password, private key or other highly privileged credential through the application. Keep Ascend API keys private, use them only in trusted server-side environments, rotate compromised keys and revoke keys when no longer needed.

5. Acceptable use

You must not use the service to violate law or another person's rights; access a system without permission; expose data unlawfully; test or attack infrastructure without authorisation; distribute malware; interfere with service availability; bypass rate limits or quotas; reverse engineer or probe systems except as permitted by law; or use the service to send spam or conduct fraud. You must not attempt to obtain another user's account, credentials or data.

We may investigate credible abuse reports and restrict traffic, suspend API keys or disable accounts where reasonably necessary to protect the service, users, connected systems or the public, or where required by law.

6. Workspaces and collaborators

Workspace owners and administrators are responsible for inviting appropriate members and assigning roles carefully. Workspace members may be able to view or manage shared resources according to their role. You are responsible for removing members who no longer need access and for protecting invitation links and any optional invitation passwords.

7. Your content and permission to operate the service

You retain your rights in the data, prompts, configurations and other material you submit. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive permission to host, copy, transmit and process that material only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain and improve the service and as described in the Privacy Policy. This permission ends when the relevant material is deleted, except for limited copies retained in backups or where retention is legally permitted or required.

You confirm that you have the rights and lawful authority needed to submit the material and grant this permission. You must not submit content that infringes another person's rights or that you are not authorised to use.

8. Third-party services

Ascend API relies on third-party services, including Supabase for authentication and database functions and Vercel for hosting and deployment. Optional AI-assisted drafting may use OpenAI when enabled. You may also connect your own Supabase project and optionally use Vercel custom-domain features. Those services are subject to their own terms, privacy notices, availability and configurations. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their independent acts or omissions.

9. Early access, availability and support

Ascend API is currently offered as an early-access service. Features may change, be unavailable or contain errors. We do not promise a particular uptime percentage, response time, support response time, backup service, recovery time or service credit. No service-level agreement applies unless we publish and expressly agree to one in a separate written document.

We may carry out maintenance, change or discontinue features, impose reasonable usage limits, or temporarily suspend access to protect the service or comply with law. We will make reasonable efforts to provide notice of material planned changes where practical.

10. Fees and future paid features

At the effective date of these terms, Ascend API does not have an active subscription or payment feature and no subscription fee is being charged through the service. Some features may be offered without charge during early access. We will display applicable prices and separate payment terms before introducing a paid plan or charging for a feature. We will not treat use of the current free service as authorisation for a future automatic charge.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains the information we process, why we process it, the providers involved, retention periods and how to exercise privacy rights. If you use Ascend API to process personal data about other people, you are responsible for having the lawful basis, notices, permissions and safeguards required for that processing.

12. Suspension, termination and account deletion

You may stop using the service and delete your account from Settings. Deleting an account removes its Ascend API account data, connected-project settings, API configurations, API keys and workspaces it owns. All Ascend API access to those resources ends. Other members lose access to workspaces owned by the deleted account. Account deletion does not delete records held in your external Supabase projects, and limited information may remain in backups or records we are legally permitted or required to keep.

We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these terms, create a security risk, fail to resolve serious misuse, or where required by law. Provisions that by their nature should continue after termination will continue, including provisions concerning ownership, confidentiality, privacy, liability and dispute resolution.

13. Intellectual property

Ascend API and its software, branding, visual design and documentation are owned by or licensed to the operator and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These terms give you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the service for its intended purpose. They do not transfer ownership of the service or its underlying software to you.

14. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis during early access. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure in every environment, or suitable for every purpose. You remain responsible for reviewing generated endpoints and safeguarding your connected systems and data.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of data in a system we do not control, or losses caused by your database configuration, exposed credentials, third-party services or unauthorised use of your account. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability or a consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

15. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the service, your breach of these terms, your violation of another person's rights, or data and systems you connect without the necessary authority. This section does not require you to indemnify us for loss caused by our own unlawful conduct or liability that cannot legally be transferred to you.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from them are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If a dispute arises, the parties should first attempt to resolve it in good faith by contacting thesage196@gmail.com and allowing a reasonable opportunity for discussion. Subject to mandatory consumer protections and the jurisdiction of any court or tribunal that cannot lawfully be excluded, disputes may be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Oyo State, Nigeria.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms to reflect changes to the service or applicable law. We will update the date at the top of this page. Where a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will provide notice through the service or another appropriate channel. Continued use after updated terms take effect means you accept them, to the extent permitted by law.
