Terms of Service

Last updated: August 31, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Datatape platform and services (the “Service”) provided by Lost Property Labs LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Overview of the Service

The Service enables you to connect databases and APIs, define SQL-based tools, and expose them as MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoints. These endpoints allow authorized AI clients to securely execute predefined queries against your data sources.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Accounts

  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including tool calls made via your MCP endpoints.
  • You must provide accurate and complete registration information.
  • You must notify us immediately at support@datatape.ai if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

4. Your Data

  • Ownership: You retain all rights to your data, including your database content, SQL templates, tool definitions, and query results. The Company does not claim ownership of your data.
  • License to Operate: You grant the Company a limited license to access your connected data sources solely to execute the tool calls you have defined, provide audit logging, and operate the Service.
  • Credentials: You are responsible for ensuring that the database credentials and API keys you provide have appropriate permissions. The Company strongly recommends using read-only credentials and least-privilege access controls unless write access is explicitly required for a tool. Where you enable write-capable tools or destructive operations, you assume responsibility for the consequences of those operations, including data loss, mutations, and any automated actions taken by AI agents using those tools.
  • Query Results: Query results are transmitted directly to the requesting AI client and are not stored by the Company beyond operational logging metadata.

5. Acceptable Use

5.1 Permitted Use

The Service is designed to enable controlled access to your data sources through AI agents via MCP endpoints. You may use the Service to:

  • Connect databases and APIs that you own or are authorized to access.
  • Define SQL-based tools with parameterized templates for AI agent consumption.
  • Expose MCP endpoints to authorized AI clients for read-only data retrieval.
  • Manage team access with role-based permissions.
  • Monitor tool usage through audit logs.

5.2 Prohibited Activities

You agree not to:

Data and Access

  • Use the Service to access data you are not authorized to access.
  • Connect data sources containing information you do not have the right to process or share.
  • Expose personal data (PII, PHI, financial data) without appropriate legal basis and safeguards.
  • Circumvent or attempt to bypass read-only enforcement, scoped access controls, or authentication mechanisms.
  • Share API keys or MCP endpoint URLs with unauthorized parties.
  • Use the Service to aggregate data in violation of the source's terms of service.

Security

  • Attempt SQL injection, prompt injection, or other attacks against the Service or connected data sources.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service without written authorization.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service, servers, or networks connected to the Service.
  • Introduce malware, viruses, or other harmful code through tool definitions or API calls.

Legal and Ethical

  • Use the Service for any activity that violates applicable local, state, national, or international law, including data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA).
  • Use the Service to facilitate discrimination, harassment, or harm to individuals.
  • Use the Service in connection with any high-risk activity where failure could lead to death, personal injury, or significant property damage (e.g., medical devices, autonomous vehicles) without appropriate safeguards.

Platform Integrity

  • Exceed your plan's usage limits through automated means or abuse the free trial.
  • Create multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits or avoid enforcement actions.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service.
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the Service without prior written consent.

5.3 Your Responsibilities

  • Credential Security: Customer is solely responsible for configuring credential scopes, database permissions, API access levels, and other authorization settings consistent with the principle of least privilege. Use read-only database credentials wherever possible, rotate credentials regularly, and revoke access promptly for departing team members.
  • Backups and Recovery: Customer is solely responsible for maintaining backups, recovery procedures, and disaster recovery capabilities for its systems and connected data sources. The Company does not back up Customer data sources.
  • Reviewing AI Outputs: Customer acknowledges that AI systems may generate unexpected or unintended actions or outputs, and Customer is responsible for reviewing and validating outputs before relying on them in production environments.
  • Tool Review: Review and test your SQL templates before exposing them via MCP endpoints. You are responsible for the data your tools return.
  • Access Control: Use scoped API keys and role-based access to limit who can create, modify, and use tools.
  • Compliance: Ensure your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and third-party agreements, including the terms of service of your data sources and AI clients.
  • Monitoring: Regularly review audit logs to identify unauthorized or unexpected tool usage.

5.4 Reporting Violations

If you become aware of any violation of this section, or any security vulnerability in the Service, please report it immediately to security@datatape.ai.

5.5 Enforcement

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action against violations, including issuing warnings, suspending or throttling MCP endpoints, suspending or terminating your account, and reporting violations to law enforcement if required. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before taking enforcement action, except where immediate action is necessary to protect the Service or other users.

6. Plans and Billing

  • Pricing: The Service is offered under subscription plans as described on our pricing page. Prices are subject to change with 30 days' notice.
  • Free Trial: New accounts receive a 7-day free trial. No credit card is required during the trial period.
  • Billing Cycle: Subscriptions are billed monthly. Payment is due at the beginning of each billing cycle.
  • Overages: If you exceed the tool call limits of your plan, we may throttle or suspend tool execution until the next billing cycle or until you upgrade your plan.
  • Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods.
  • Taxes: Prices are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use, or value-added taxes.

7. Security

  • We implement encryption mechanisms intended to protect data source credentials at rest and in transit.
  • We implement mechanisms intended to enforce read-only access at the platform level using SQL validation (SQLGlot). Customer remains responsible for configuring source-level permissions consistent with least privilege.
  • We provide scoped API keys and OAuth 2.0 authentication for MCP endpoints.
  • We maintain audit logs of all tool calls.
  • We implement role-based access control (RBAC) for team accounts.

While the Company implements commercially reasonable security measures, no system or transmission method can be guaranteed fully secure. Customer is responsible for the security of its own data sources and for configuring appropriate access controls within its infrastructure.

8. Availability and Support

  • We use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reliable and available service, and do not warrant uninterrupted access.
