EuroAPI | Effective date: 2026-05-19 | Last updated: 2026-05-19
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("Customer", "you", "your") and Glen Vandenbranden, operating EuroAPI ("EuroAPI", "we", "us", "our"). By using the API at https://api.euroapi.app, by signing up via RapidAPI, or by sending any request to the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Definitions
Service: the EuroAPI HTTP API, including transcription, language detection, translation, and any future endpoints, accessible at https://api.euroapi.app.
Account: your access credentials (API key) issued directly by us or via RapidAPI.
Content: any audio, text, metadata, or other material you submit to the Service.
Output: the AI-generated transcript or translation produced by the Service.
Effective Date: the date you first agreed to these Terms, by clicking accept, signing up, or sending a first request.
2. License to use
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:
Send requests to the Service from your applications, internal tools, or end-user products.
Use the Output in your products, including for commercial purposes, subject to Section 5 below.
You may not:
Resell or sublicense raw API access (i.e., proxy the Service to third parties without adding meaningful value).
Reverse-engineer the Service or extract our model weights, training data, or implementation details.
Use the Service to build a directly competing transcription/translation service that wraps our API.
Use automated scraping or load-testing tools beyond your documented rate limits.
3. Acceptable use
You agree NOT to use the Service to:
Process illegal content: hate speech, terrorism content, CSAM (child sexual abuse material), or any material illegal under Belgian, EU, or applicable law.
Infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights of third parties (e.g. transcribing audio you do not have rights to).
Process personal data without lawful basis under GDPR.
Identify or surveil individuals without consent (e.g. wiretapping, covert recording transcription).
Conduct security attacks against us, our infrastructure, or our other customers.
Circumvent rate limits, quotas, or authentication.
Use the Service for emergency, safety-critical, or medical decision-making without independent human review of Outputs.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, immediately and without refund.
4. Your warranties
You warrant and represent that, for every request you send to the Service:
You have the legal right to upload the Content (you own it, you have a license, or it is in the public domain).
You have any necessary consents, notices, or contractual permissions from data subjects whose personal data appears in the Content.
You are not subject to any embargo or sanctions program that would make providing the Service to you illegal.
You are at least 18 years old or have parental/guardian consent.
You bear full responsibility for the Content you submit and the use you make of the Output.
5. Intellectual property
Our IP: the Service, including software, documentation, branding, and design, is owned by EuroAPI. The underlying open-source models (e.g. Whisper) are licensed under their respective open-source licenses (MIT). Use of those models in your own infrastructure remains free.
Your Content: you retain all rights to Content you upload. By submitting Content, you grant us a temporary, worldwide, royalty-free license to process the Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service, for the duration of the request and 24-hour retention period only. We claim no other rights.
Outputs: Outputs are generated by an AI model and are not eligible for IP protection in most jurisdictions. You may use Outputs commercially. We claim no ownership of Outputs.
Our training data: we do not use your Content or Outputs to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model.
6. Fees and billing
6.1 Via RapidAPI
If you accessed the Service through RapidAPI, RapidAPI's pricing and billing terms apply (https://rapidapi.com/terms). RapidAPI invoices you directly. We receive a share of those fees.
6.2 Direct billing
For direct customers (where applicable), fees are stated on the pricing page or in a separate order form. Payments are processed by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. Fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
6.3 Taxes
Fees do not include VAT. Where required, VAT will be added at the applicable rate. Business customers within the EU may be subject to reverse-charge VAT under Article 196 of the VAT Directive.
6.4 Late payment
Overdue invoices may be subject to interest of 1% per month or the maximum allowed by Belgian law.
7. Service availability
The Service is provided on a "best effort" basis. We target high availability but do not guarantee any specific uptime in the basic tier.
Planned maintenance: we attempt to perform during low-traffic hours and announce in advance where practical.
We may pause, throttle, or temporarily disable specific endpoints to maintain security or stability.
For business customers requiring uptime SLAs, please contact us for an Enterprise agreement.
8. AI Outputs — no guarantees
Whisper and other AI models can hallucinate, mistranscribe, or produce inaccurate results. Outputs are provided "AS IS" without warranty.
Do not rely on Outputs alone for medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, or life-affecting decisions.
Always have a human review Outputs before acting on them in high-stakes contexts.
Accuracy depends on audio quality, language, accent, background noise, and other factors outside our control.
You assume all risk associated with use of the Outputs.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
We provide the Service "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity.
Our total aggregate liability for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service is limited to the fees you actually paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or €100, whichever is greater.
These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, statute, etc.) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by applicable law (e.g. for fraud, gross negligence, or death/personal injury under Belgian law).
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless EuroAPI, its operator, and its agents from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:
Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms.
Your Content infringing the rights of any third party (copyright, privacy, etc.).
Your breach of GDPR or any applicable data-protection law.
Misuse of Outputs leading to harm to third parties.
We will promptly notify you of any such claim and cooperate reasonably in your defense.
11. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access immediately, without prior notice and without refund, if:
You materially breach these Terms (especially Sections 3, 4, 5).
Payment is overdue by more than 14 days.
Your use of the Service threatens stability, security, or other customers.
We are legally required to do so.
You may terminate at any time by ceasing to use the Service and cancelling your RapidAPI subscription (if applicable). On termination, all licenses immediately cease, but Sections 5, 8, 9, 10, 12 survive.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced at least 30 days in advance via email and a notice on the Service. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept the changes, your sole remedy is to stop using the Service.
13. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by Belgian law, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
For disputes:
First, the parties will attempt good-faith resolution within 30 days of written notice.
If unresolved, exclusive jurisdiction lies with the courts of Limburg (Hasselt), Belgium, except where mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence apply.
Consumers in the EU may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
14. Miscellaneous
Entire agreement: these Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable DPA, constitute the entire agreement between us regarding the Service.
Severability: if any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
No waiver: failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right.
Assignment: you may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of business.
Force majeure: we are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control (natural disasters, war, government actions, internet outages, etc.).
Notices: notices to us must be sent to vandenbrandenglen@gmail.com. Notices to you will be sent to your account email.
