Terms of Service
Trusgent is the Trust Layer for AI — operated from Hong Kong SAR for users worldwide. These Terms set out the rules for using Agent Cards, Hong Kong Registry claims, verification, APIs, facades, and related features. This summary is provided for transparency and does not by itself constitute legal advice for your specific situation.
1. Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Trusgent (the "Service"), the Trust Layer for AI operated by HONG KONG METAAGENT TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (香港虛影科技有限公司, Hong Kong Companies Registry CR No. 76375164) from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("Hong Kong") and made available globally. The China entity 苏州虚影科技有限公司 (USCC 91320506MACLQWKA6E; ICP 苏ICP备2023032170号) supports mainland operations. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you are using Trusgent on behalf of an organization, you confirm you are authorized to bind that organization.
2. Definitions
"Trusgent" or "we" means the operator of the Service. An "Agent Card" (also historically called a Trust Passport / Trusgent profile) means a public profile and its associated identity, verification, scoring, and structured data. "User", "you", and "your" mean the account holder and authorized users.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract. The Service is intended for businesses, professionals, organizations, and individuals operating in a commercial capacity. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under any applicable law, including export-control or sanctions laws.
4. Account registration & security
You must provide accurate, current, and complete information and keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at [email protected] of any unauthorized use. We may require email verification before enabling certain features.
5. Trusgent ID & profile rules
Each Trusgent receives a unique identifier and handle. You may not register identifiers that impersonate another person or entity, infringe trademarks, or are designed to deceive. We may reclaim, rename, or disable identifiers that violate these Terms or applicable law.
6. Trust Passport & verification
Verification (for example domain control, business-registry checks, or human review of identity / licence documents) increases transparency for people and partner AI systems. Some checks are automated; human review is performed by our team or designated reviewers and may not be available in every jurisdiction. Paying a verification fee unlocks one review credit for the selected Agent Card; approval updates verified status and Trust Score, while a rejection means you may correct materials and resubmit (a new credit may be required). Verification reflects information available at a point in time and is not a warranty of conduct, solvency, or any commercial outcome.
7. Hong Kong Registry & claiming
Where we publish Hong Kong official open-data register pages, claiming links a register row to your Agent Card. Claiming is free and does not itself mean verified. Only authorized representatives may claim; false claims may be reported and removed. After claiming, complete verification and profile fields if you want directory discovery and stronger trust signals.
8. Trust Score & Agent-readiness Score
Scores are algorithmic indicators derived from profile completeness, verification, activity, reviews, and other signals. They are provided "as is" for informational purposes only, may change over time, and must not be treated as financial, legal, or creditworthiness advice. You are responsible for your own due diligence before transacting.
9. Trust Badge usage
If we issue you a Trust Badge, you may embed it on websites you control to display your current status, provided you do not alter, fake, or misrepresent it. We may revoke a badge if your account is suspended, your verification lapses, or these Terms are breached.
10. Proof-based Reviews
Reviews should be truthful and, where required, supported by evidence. You may not post, solicit, or incentivize false, misleading, or fraudulent reviews. We may moderate, withhold, or remove reviews that violate policy, and we may use audit logs and risk signals to assess authenticity.
11. Marketplace, matching & leads
Trusgent primarily publishes Agent Cards and trust data for discovery by people and partner AI systems (including APIs and MCP). Optional matching, intents, and leads may be offered; when available, we remain a neutral venue and do not guarantee outcomes. We do not act as a party to, broker of, agent for, or guarantor of any transaction.
12. Payments & paid services
Creating an account, a basic Agent Card, and claiming an available Hong Kong register record are free. Optional paid services include identity / licence human verification, deeper GEO / AI-visibility work, binding your own domain with verification, AgentID rename packs after the free yearly quota, and optional escrow or other commerce features. Prices are shown before checkout and processed by Stripe under its own terms. Where escrow is used, funds are held pending deal conditions and released or refunded according to deal status. You authorize us and Stripe to charge applicable fees, any disclosed platform commission on funded deals, and taxes.
13. Fees, refunds & chargebacks
One-time product fees — including verification, GEO packs, and ID rename packs — are generally non-refundable once paid, including if a verification submission is rejected, incomplete, or abandoned, except where required by law or we expressly agree otherwise in writing. Any subscription-style plans we may offer are billed in advance and are likewise non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated. Escrow refunds follow the deal outcome and escrow rules, not this product-fee policy. Platform commission is disclosed before a funded transaction proceeds. Initiating a chargeback without first contacting us may be treated as a breach; we reserve the right to dispute illegitimate chargebacks and to recover associated costs.
14. Acceptable use & prohibited activities
You must not use the Service to break the law, infringe rights, distribute malware, scrape without authorization, circumvent rate limits or security, send spam, launder money, finance terrorism, or facilitate fraud, deception, or prohibited goods and services. You must comply with all applicable export, sanctions, and anti-bribery laws.
15. User content & licence
You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, process, display, and transmit that content as necessary to operate and improve the Service. You represent that you have the rights to submit the content and that it does not violate any law or third-party right.
16. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, and content (excluding user content), is owned by Trusgent or its licensors and protected by applicable laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the Service.
17. API usage
API access is subject to your plan, documented limits, and rate limiting. Keys are personal to your account and must be kept secret. We may throttle, suspend, or revoke access for abuse, security risks, or breach. We may change or deprecate API features with reasonable notice where practicable.
18. Third-party services
The Service integrates third parties (for example, Stripe for payments, Qiniu Cloud for storage, Neon for database hosting, and email and AI model providers). Your use of those features may be subject to the third party's terms, and we are not responsible for third-party services.
19. Suspension & termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, or as required by law. On termination, your right to use the Service ceases; certain provisions survive, including those on liability, indemnity, and governing law.
20. No guarantee of outcomes
Trusgent provides identity, verification, scoring, structured publication, badges, optional matching/escrow facilitation, and API infrastructure for the Trust Layer for AI. We do not guarantee that partner models will cite you, that transactions will complete, or that counterparties will behave as expected. All dealings between users (and between users and third-party AI systems) are at their own risk.
21. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.
22. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Trusgent and its affiliates, officers, and staff will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, or goodwill. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid to us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 100.
23. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Trusgent and its affiliates from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your content, or your breach of these Terms or applicable law.
24. Governing law & dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Hong Kong have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, save that we may seek injunctive relief in any competent court. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable statutory rights you may have in your country of residence.
25. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified through the Service or by email where appropriate. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
