MERCURY

Terms of service

Effective 2026-06-04 · operated by Mercury Holdings Pty Ltd · one screen, no fine print games.

What you are buying

A single per-call web fetch (or a related Cited service). You give a URL, we return clean page text/structured data plus a signed provenance receipt. One call = one paid attempt.

Real micro-payments, non-refundable

Calls are paid in real USDC on Base mainnet over HTTP 402. Payments are micro-amounts (from $0.003) and are NON-REFUNDABLE once settled — you pay per ATTEMPT, like a search API. A fetch that returns an honest failure (e.g. the target was down or unreachable) is still a delivered attempt.

Best-effort, early service — no SLA

This is an early service provided on a best-effort, AS-IS basis with no uptime guarantee or warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. We may change pricing, routes, or availability. Total liability for any claim is capped at the amount you paid for the call(s) at issue.

Acceptable use

Fetch only public URLs you are permitted to access. The service is SSRF-guarded (no private/loopback/metadata targets) and honours target robots/rate limits on a best-effort basis. Do not use it to access content you are not authorised to read, or for unlawful purposes.

Provenance receipt

Each result carries an EIP-191 signed receipt over sha256(content)‖url‖status‖fetchedAt‖nonce, verifiable offline against the pinned key at /.well-known/mercury-attestation. The receipt attests WHAT we returned from WHERE and WHEN — it is not a warranty that the upstream page is accurate, lawful, or unchanged after fetch time.

Your data

We do not retain, resell, or train on the content you fetch. We may keep minimal operational logs (timestamps, route, status) to run and secure the service.

No token, no investment

MERCURY has no token and sells no security. USDC is used only to pay for the service rendered. Nothing here is an investment, and there is no expectation of profit from anyone's efforts.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and you submit to its courts for any dispute.
