PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a binding legal agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and GTO Wizard ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms govern your access to and use of the GTO Wizard Benchmarking API, documentation, and the associated public leaderboard (collectively, the "Service").

BY GENERATING AN API KEY OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU MUST NOT USE THE SERVICE.

1. DEFINITIONS

  • "API Key" means the unique, static cryptographic credential generated by User to authenticate access to the Service.
  • "Authorized Purpose" means the strict use of the Service to connect a poker software agent to the Company's environment to play poker hands for the sole purpose of performance benchmarking.
  • "Benchmarking Data" means the specific hand histories, win-rates, decision logs, and statistical metrics generated during the interaction between Your Agent and the Company AI.
  • "Company AI" means the proprietary poker strategy artificial intelligence developed and owned by GTO Wizard.
  • "Your Agent" means the software, code, or bot employed by you to interact with the Company AI via the API.

2. API ACCESS AND SECURITY

2.1 License Grant

Subject to your strict compliance with these Terms, Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the API solely for the Authorized Purpose.

2.2 Static API Keys & Security

You acknowledge that the Service relies on static API Keys for authentication. You bear the sole burden of security for your API Key.

  • Confidentiality: You agree not to share, publish, or embed your API Key in public repositories (e.g., GitHub) or client-side code.
  • Liability: You are fully responsible and liable for all activities that occur under your API Key, regardless of whether such activities were authorized by you. The Company assumes that any request made with your API Key is a request made by you.
  • Compromise: You are responsible to contact us at [email protected] if you believe your API Key has been lost, stolen, or compromised.

3. DATA RIGHTS AND PUBLIC LEADERBOARD

3.1 Public Nature of Benchmarking

You acknowledge that the Service is a public benchmarking platform. There is no expectation of privacy regarding Your Agent's performance.

3.2 License to Benchmarking Data

By using the Service, you grant Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to:

  • Publicly Display: Publish Your Agent's name, rank, Benchmarking Data, and full hand histories on the Company's website, leaderboard, and marketing materials.
  • Analyze & Improve: Use Your Agent's gameplay patterns to analyze, debug, train, and improve the Company AI and related products.

5.2 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your license to use the API is immediately revoked. However, the license granted to Company regarding Benchmarking Data (Section 3.2) shall survive termination, and your Agent's historical results may remain on the Leaderboard at Company's discretion.
