Terms of Use

Last updated: February 22, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Guardian Logistics API ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Guardian Logistics provides freight route prediction estimates via a REST API. The Service uses machine learning models trained on historical truck travel data, combined with real-time weather, traffic, and incident data, to estimate delivery times for commercial freight vehicles.

3. API Keys and Accounts

• You are responsible for safeguarding your API key. Do not share your API key publicly or embed it in client-side code.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your API key.
• We may suspend or revoke API keys that violate these terms or exhibit abusive usage patterns.
• Free tier accounts are limited to 25 predictions total. Paid tiers have higher daily limits as specified in your subscription.

4. Acceptable Use

You may use the Service for lawful commercial purposes including freight route planning, fleet dispatch, delivery time estimation, and logistics optimization. You may NOT:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the underlying models or training data
• Resell API access to third parties without written authorization
• Exceed your tier's rate limits or attempt to circumvent rate limiting
• Use automated means to create multiple free accounts
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure

5. Predictions Are Estimates

Guardian predictions are estimates only. They should not be used as the sole basis for safety-critical decisions. Actual travel times may vary due to factors including but not limited to: weather changes, accidents, road closures, driver behavior, vehicle condition, facility delays, regulatory changes, and other unforeseeable events.

You are responsible for verifying predictions against your own operational data and using professional judgment in all dispatch and routing decisions.

6. Data and Privacy

• We collect route queries, delivery outcomes, and usage metrics to improve the Service.
• We do not sell your data to third parties.
• Route queries and outcomes may be used in aggregate (anonymized) for benchmarking and model improvement.
• We store API keys as SHA-256 hashes. We cannot retrieve your original API key if lost.

7. Service Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The Service may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates, or due to factors beyond our control. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of planned downtime.

8. Pricing and Billing

• Free tier: 25 predictions total, no credit card required.
• Paid tiers: Billed monthly. Pricing is as listed at time of subscription.
• We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days notice to existing subscribers.
• Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis.

Our total liability for any claim arising from the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
