Terms of Service

Last updated: February 19, 2026

01. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using SecureGate, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you are using the service on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these terms for that organization.

02. Service Description

SecureGate provides a security proxy layer for AI API interactions. We encrypt your provider API keys and allow you to interact with them via temporary, scoped security keys (SG_). The service includes various security "locks" (IP, Geo, Device) designed to prevent unauthorized key usage.

03. Security Responsibilities

Our Responsibility
  • • Encrypting keys with AES-256-GCM
  • • Enforcing active security locks
  • • Securely hashing your SG_ keys
  • • Maintaining infrastructure uptime
Your Responsibility
  • • Safe storage of the raw SG_ key
  • • Configuring appropriate security locks
  • • Revoking keys if overlap is suspected
  • • Compliance with AI provider terms

04. Strict Locks Policy

Note: For maximum security, certain locks (such as the Device/MAC Lock) are "immutable once bound." This means that after the first successful request binds a key to a specific device fingerprint, it cannot be changed for that security key. You must generate a new key to bind to a different device.

05. Usage Limits & Billing

Available connections and features are determined by your chosen plan. Payments are processed via Polar. Failure to maintain a valid subscription may result in restriction to the "Free" tier limits, which currently allow up to 2 active connections.

06. Limitation of Liability

SecureGate provides tools to help secure API keys, but we are not liable for compromised keys, unauthorized usage, or resulting financial damages.

You expressly understand and agree that SecureGate shall not be liable for breaches resulting from:

  • Malware, spyware, or keyloggers on your local device.
  • Compromised local networks or man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks on your end.
  • Accidental leakage of the SG_ proxy key by you or your users.
  • Phishing attacks or social engineering.
  • Failure to properly configure or utilize the provided IP, Geo, or Device locks.

07. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SecureGate, its creators, and affiliates from any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your use of the service or any violation of these Terms or third-party AI provider terms.
