Roadmap reference

Phase 6 — Pre-launch: docs/legal/terms-of-service.md, docs/legal/privacy-policy.md, docs/legal/acceptable-use-policy.md.

What to do

Create three legal document files under docs/legal/. These are standard SaaS API documents — use clear plain-English language appropriate for a small developer-focused API business.

File 1: docs/legal/terms-of-service.md

Include:

  • Service description (REST APIs: ZIP enrichment, holidays, air quality)
  • Acceptable use summary (link to AUP)
  • Rate limits and quota enforcement notice
  • No-warranty clause
  • Governing law (to be filled in by operator — placeholder: "[Jurisdiction]")
  • Contact email placeholder

File 2: docs/legal/privacy-policy.md

Include:

  • What data is collected (API request logs: IP, endpoint, timestamp — no PII in responses)
  • How data is used (rate limiting, abuse prevention, analytics)
  • Retention period (90 days for logs)
  • Third-party processors (RapidAPI, PayPal)
  • Contact email placeholder

File 3: docs/legal/acceptable-use-policy.md

Include:

  • Prohibited uses (scraping at abusive rates, illegal content lookups, reselling without permission)
  • Enforcement (API key revocation, account ban)
  • Reporting abuse contact

Acceptance criteria

  • All three files committed to docs/legal/ in this repo
  • Each document is coherent, readable, and covers the sections listed above
  • Placeholders clearly marked with [TODO: ...] for items the operator must fill in (jurisdiction, contact email, entity name)
  • PR merged to leeworks-agents/api-company

Dependencies

  • None — can be written immediately

All three legal documents have been committed to docs/legal/:

  • docs/legal/terms-of-service.md — Service description, acceptable use summary, rate limit notice, no-warranty clause, governing law placeholder, contact placeholder
  • docs/legal/privacy-policy.md — Data collected, use, 90-day retention, third-party processors (RapidAPI, PayPal), contact placeholder
  • docs/legal/acceptable-use-policy.md — Prohibited uses, enforcement, abuse reporting

All documents use plain English, have [TODO:] placeholders for operator-specific fields (jurisdiction, entity name, contact email), and were merged in PR #20. Closing as done.
