Terms of service

Terms of service

Effective from · November 5, 2026

1. Overview

These Terms govern access to heyyumi.ai and related services (including the API and MCP; the 'Service') operated by Hide Me Please, Inc. ('Company'). Signing up for the Service or using an API key or MCP connection constitutes acceptance of these Terms.

2. Scope of service

The Company collects and refines food and drink venue data and provides it as APIs and MCP. The exact scope is published on dedicated product pages.

2-1. Delivery of reservation requests

(1) The Company delivers reservation requests that users send through our web pages or through AI and other services to the venue, and lets the user know the venue's answer. (2) A reservation is confirmed when the venue accepts the request, and fulfilling the reservation is a matter between the venue and the user. The Company helps deliver requests and report the outcome, and does not guarantee that the venue will accept or fulfill the reservation. (3) Users must not make requests using another person's name or contact details, or make requests with no intention of visiting. If such requests are repeated, the Company may restrict use of the reservation request feature.

3. Account and API key

Users are responsible for safeguarding API keys (and MCP connection credentials) issued upon signup. Consequences of key leakage are borne by the user. Limits are enforced per account; creating multiple accounts or keys to circumvent limits is prohibited.

3-1. License grant (scope of rights)

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Company grants you only a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Service and response data. All ownership and intellectual property rights in the data and Service are reserved by the Company (or its licensors); you acquire no rights beyond those expressly granted here.

4. Acceptable use

Even within your plan limits, you may not, and may not permit any third party to: (1) systematically or in bulk extract, mirror, or store all or a substantial portion of the data, or use it to build a database or dataset; (2) resell, redistribute, sublicense, publicly post the data, or build a product, service, or database that competes with the Service; (3) use response data to train, develop, or improve machine-learning (ML) or artificial-intelligence (AI) models; (4) cache or store response data, other than place identifiers (IDs), beyond what is necessary for the interactive session answering your query, or make permanent copies; (5) remove, obscure, or alter source/copyright/rights notices, or misrepresent the source; or (6) reverse engineer or circumvent access controls or usage limits. For large-scale data needs, use Bulk Export / data licensing. The Company may restrict or suspend access where abuse is reasonably suspected, even if individual requests are within limits.

4-1. Free (Open Season) scope · commercial use

The service is currently in an Open Season. Low-volume, real-time, interactive use by an individual within their own AI tools or agents is provided at no charge. 'Interactive' means real-time lookups to answer a user's question; automated bulk/systematic extraction or accumulation of data does not qualify, even within usage limits. Free use is limited to personal, evaluation, and prototyping purposes. Embedding, storing, redistributing, or otherwise commercially using response data in your own or a third party's product or service requires a separate paid data license. Using a personal free key for company or commercial purposes violates this policy. Open Season's relaxed limits and terms are time-bound; the Company may, after notice, normalize limits or apply charges to commercial use. For commercial or bulk use, please contact sales.

4-2. Usage limits (fair use)

Technical limits apply to prevent abuse and data extraction. Open Season free example: 70 tokens per day (resets at midnight KST), 10 requests per minute, a cap of 3,000 distinct venues over any 30-day window (repeat lookups of the same venue count as one), and a per-request result window. Paid plans carry separate limits. Limits apply per account (not per API key) and cannot be bypassed by duplicating keys or accounts. Limits and policies may change after notice.

4-3. No automated collection from our web pages

This section applies to anyone who uses the heyyumi.ai web pages (including venue pages), whether or not they have an account. (1) No one may use crawlers, scrapers, bots, or other automated means to collect, copy, or store venue information from our web pages in bulk or systematically, redistribute it, or use it to build a database or dataset. (2) Indexing by search engines and AI search services that follow robots.txt, for the purpose of showing search results, is permitted. (3) The venue data on our web pages was verified and refined by the Company through substantial investment, and it is protected under applicable law, including database producer rights under the Korean Copyright Act and the Korean Unfair Competition Prevention and Trade Secret Protection Act. (4) The Company may technically block access that violates this section and may take legal action, including claims for damages. If you need venue data, please use our API, MCP, or a data license.

5. Limitation of liability

Recommendations are reference information. The Company's liability is limited to the extent permitted by law.

6. Changes

Material changes are announced 30 days in advance; minor changes 7 days in advance.

7. Governing law

Governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. Disputes go to the court with jurisdiction over the Company's headquarters.

Addendum

These Terms take effect on November 5, 2026. However, Section 4-3 (No automated collection from our web pages) has been in effect since October 28, 2026. Until November 4, 2026, all other sections are governed by the Terms dated July 24, 2026.
