Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", "your") and Atom Foundry ("Company", "we", "us", "our"), governing your access to and use of the Atom Foundry platform, website located at atomfoundry.dev, all associated subdomains, APIs, tools, reports, data, and services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing the Service in any way — including but not limited to visiting the website, submitting a store URL, receiving a report, accessing the API, reading research data, or interacting with any component of the platform — you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and the term "you" shall refer to both you individually and that entity.

These Terms apply globally. Your use of the Service from any jurisdiction constitutes your acceptance of these Terms regardless of local laws that may differ.

Atom Foundry operates the AI Commerce Graph™ — an automated intelligence platform that analyzes publicly accessible ecommerce stores to assess their readiness for AI-powered recommendation systems, shopping agents, and large language model (LLM) discovery.

Our services include, but are not limited to:

• Automated scanning and analysis of publicly accessible ecommerce websites
• AI Commerce Score™ generation across multiple readiness factors
• Research reports and benchmark data based on aggregated scan results
• Store database and public index at atomfoundry.dev/stores
• Paid AI Commerce Audit reports with detailed recommendations
• API access for programmatic data retrieval

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice or liability.

Public Data Only. Atom Foundry exclusively collects and analyzes publicly accessible data. We do not attempt to access password-protected areas, private databases, authenticated content, or any data that is not freely available to the general public and standard web crawlers.

Legitimate Purpose. Our crawling activity serves a legitimate commercial and research purpose: assessing the AI readiness and machine-readability of publicly available ecommerce content. This activity is analogous to and consistent with the operations of major search engines, AI training systems, and commercial data analytics platforms.

Respect for Technical Signals. Our crawler respects standard technical signals including robots.txt directives where technically feasible. We record and report on crawler accessibility as part of our AI readiness assessment — stores that block crawlers receive lower AI visibility scores, which is itself an accurate and valuable data point reflecting their real-world AI discoverability.

No Circumvention of Security. We do not circumvent CAPTCHA systems, authentication barriers, encryption, or any security measure designed to prevent unauthorized access. We do not access computer systems in any manner that would violate applicable computer fraud or unauthorized access laws.

Compliance with Applicable Law. Our data collection practices are designed to comply with the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA, USA), the EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, GDPR Article 6 legitimate interests basis, and equivalent legislation in other jurisdictions. We rely on the established legal principle, affirmed in hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn (9th Circuit, 2022) and similar precedents, that automated access to publicly available data does not constitute unauthorized access under applicable computer access laws.

No Personal Data Targeting. We do not target, collect, or process personal data of individual consumers. Our analysis focuses exclusively on publicly available commercial content of ecommerce businesses.

Store Owner Rights. If you are the owner or authorized representative of an ecommerce store and wish to have your store removed from our public index, you may submit a removal request to support@atomfoundry.dev. We will process legitimate removal requests within 30 days. Note that removal from our index does not affect your store's visibility to third-party AI systems, search engines, or other crawlers.
