RGL8R Terms of Service (v1)
Effective date: 2026-03-02
1. Definitions
- Service: The RGL8R compliance platform, including all APIs, dashboards, and related tooling provided under a customer agreement.
- Customer: The entity that has entered into an agreement with RGL8R for access to the Service.
- Tenant: A logically isolated environment within the Service, scoped to a single Customer organization. All data, configuration, and access controls are tenant-bound.
- Workflow Data: Files, records, and outputs uploaded to or generated by the Service, including shipment CSVs, product catalogs, classification results, findings, disputes, and compliance reports.
- Integration Key: A cryptographic credential issued to a Customer for programmatic API access. Integration keys are revealed once at creation and stored in hashed form thereafter.

- Carrier agreement ingestion and management
- Claims semi-automation
TRADE Module (Compliance Screening)

3. Account Responsibilities
The Customer agrees to:
- Provide accurate and current account information, including organization name and contact details.
- Safeguard integration keys and access credentials. Integration key secrets are displayed once at creation and cannot be retrieved again.
- Respect API rate limits and queue admission caps as documented. Exceeding limits may result in temporary throttling (HTTP 429).
- Not attempt to bypass security controls, including but not limited to authentication, tenant isolation, or rate limiting.
- Accept responsibility for the accuracy and legality of all data uploaded to the Service, including shipment records, product catalogs, and order files.
- Promptly notify RGL8R of any suspected unauthorized access or credential compromise.
4. API Usage
- Authentication: All API requests require a valid RS256 JWT obtained via token exchange (
POST /api/auth/tokenorPOST /api/auth/token/integration). - Integration Keys: Keys are issued per tenant and revealed once at creation. After creation, only the masked prefix is accessible. Keys may be rotated or revoked at any time.
- Webhook Verification: Customers receiving webhook callbacks must validate HMAC signatures before processing payloads.
- Guest Audit Sessions: Unauthenticated discovery audits are available via guest session tokens (
gst_prefix). Guest sessions are subject to file size, row count, and rate limits. - Bulk Operations: Batch endpoints (e.g.,
POST /api/ship/findings/batch) are subject to per-request item limits. Exceeding limits results in rejection of the entire batch.
5. Billing and Payment
SHIP Module: 15% of realized carrier credits. No savings means no fee. No platform fee, no minimums. The fee is triggered only when a carrier issues a confirmed credit or refund as a result of a dispute filed through the Service.
TRADE Module: $500 per month platform fee, starting at go-live. Includes up to 1,000 SKU classifications per month. Overage: $0.50 per SKU beyond 1,000. Manual HS code research (complex items requiring specialist review): $25 per SKU.
Combined Billing: Customers using both modules receive a single monthly invoice with line items for each module. No bundle discount currently applies.
Payment Processing: Billing is managed through Stripe. Customers may add payment methods via secure setup sessions. RGL8R does not store card numbers.
Payment Terms: Net 30 from invoice date. Late payment accrues interest at 1.5% per month after the due date. Accepted methods: ACH, wire transfer, credit card (credit card payments include a 3% processing fee).
Pilot Period: 90 days at standard rates. No commitment — cancel anytime with 7 days written notice. The pilot auto-converts to an annual agreement unless cancelled before the pilot period ends.
Annual Agreement: 12-month term. Platform fees are committed; gain-share fees are variable. Cancellation requires 30 days written notice, effective at the end of the current period. Auto-renews unless cancelled 30 days prior to the renewal date.
6. Data Ownership
- The Customer retains full ownership of all Workflow Data uploaded to or generated within their Tenant.
- RGL8R processes Customer data solely for the purpose of delivering the contracted Service.
- All Customer data is stored in tenant-isolated database schemas with row-level security enforced at the database layer.
- RGL8R will not sell, share, or disclose Customer data to third parties, except as necessary for Service delivery via listed subprocessors or as required by law.
7. Intellectual Property
- The Service, including its algorithms, detection logic, rule hierarchies, user interfaces, and documentation, is the intellectual property of RGL8R.
- The Customer retains all rights to their Workflow Data and any business insights derived from it.
- RGL8R may use aggregated, anonymized data (from which no individual Customer or data subject can be identified) to improve the Service, train models, and generate benchmarks.
8. Warranties and Liability
- RGL8R provides the Service under commercially reasonable efforts and industry-standard security controls.
- No guaranteed savings. SHIP recovery depends on carrier behavior, data quality, and dispute outcomes. TRADE compliance screening is advisory — it does not constitute legal advice.
- TRADE classifications and screening results are provided as decision-support tools. The Customer is responsible for final compliance decisions, customs filings, and regulatory submissions.
- Liability cap: RGL8R’s total liability under this agreement is limited to the fees paid by the Customer in the trailing 12-month period.
- RGL8R is not liable for: carrier rejection of valid disputes; penalties resulting from Customer-provided incorrect data; customs decisions based on factors outside the Service’s data; or regulatory changes occurring after classification was provided.
9. Remediation
| Issue | Remediation |
|---|---|
| Missed valid dispute (RGL8R error) | File the dispute retroactively and waive the recovery fee on that amount |
| Misclassification causes customs penalty | Refund platform fees for the period of error, up to a maximum of 3 months |
| Data breach caused by RGL8R negligence | Follow incident response policy and notify the Customer within 72 hours |
The remediation obligations above are subject to the liability cap defined in Section 8.
10. Termination and Data Export
- Either party may terminate the agreement per the applicable contract terms (pilot: 7 days notice; annual: 30 days notice, effective at period end).
- Upon termination, the Customer has a 30-day window to export their Workflow Data via the API or dashboard export features.
- After the 30-day export window, all Customer data will be permanently deleted from RGL8R systems, including database records and any stored file uploads.
- All fees accrued prior to the termination date remain due and payable.
11. Dispute Resolution
- This agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.
- Any dispute arising under this agreement will first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties for a period of 30 days.
- If not resolved through negotiation, disputes will be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the applicable arbitration body in Ontario.
12. Changes to Terms
- RGL8R may update these Terms of Service from time to time.
- Customers will receive at least 30 days advance written notice of material changes.
- Continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated terms constitutes acceptance of the changes.
- If the Customer does not agree with the updated terms, they may terminate their agreement per the terms in Section 10.
