Terms of use
Last updated: October 21, 2026
1. Who we are and agreement to these terms
RealBots (the "Service") includes the website aibots.kaderagha.com, its free tools (log checker, robots.txt generator, Web Bot Auth validator), our published data files (such as ranges.json and openapi.json), the RealBots API and the Verified AI Bot Analytics WordPress plugin. The Service is operated by Kamil Kader Agha, a sole trader registered in the Czech Republic, company ID (IČO) 04672488, Na Šedivé 743/5, 180 00 Prague 8, Czech Republic ("we", "us"). Contact: [email protected] or our contact page.
These Terms form a binding agreement between you and us. By requesting an API key, subscribing, downloading the plugin or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you use the Service for an organization, you confirm you may bind it, and "you" includes that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. You must be at least 18 years old.
2. What the Service does — and its limits
The Service tells you whether a request claiming to be an AI or search crawler (such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot or Googlebot) comes from IP ranges the crawler's operator publishes, and checks Web Bot Auth signatures. Results depend on data published by third parties, which can be incomplete, change at any time or be wrong, and on our daily refresh of that data.
You decide what to block or allow. Results are informational. Blocking a genuine crawler can reduce your visibility in search engines or AI assistants; allowing a fake one can expose your content. Review results before acting on them, especially before enabling automatic blocking. We are not responsible for traffic, ranking, revenue or other consequences of blocking or allowing any request.
3. API keys and accounts
- A key is issued to the email address you give us; that address is your account. Keep your key secret and send it only in a request header. You are responsible for all use of your key; requesting a new key replaces the old one.
- Each plan has a monthly call quota (currently Free: 10,000 calls; Pro: 1,000,000 calls), counted per calendar month in UTC. Unused calls do not carry over. Calls over quota are refused.
- Do not share keys between unrelated parties, create multiple free accounts to exceed the free quota, or resell raw API access without our written permission. You may use API results inside your own products and services.
- If you buy access through RapidAPI, your subscription, billing and plan quotas are governed by RapidAPI's terms; these Terms still govern your use of the API.
4. API Pro subscription: price, renewal and cancellation
- Price: US$19 per month, charged in advance through Stripe on the day you subscribe and on the same day each following month. The amount at Stripe checkout is the total you are charged, unless checkout shows taxes separately.
- Automatic renewal: your subscription renews automatically every month and you will be charged until you cancel.
- Cancel anytime online: open the billing portal, sign in with the email on your API account and click "Cancel subscription". You can also update your card and download invoices there. If you prefer, send our pre-filled cancellation email and we will cancel for you. Cancelling stops all future charges. You keep Pro until the end of the month you already paid for, then your key returns to the Free plan.
- Refunds: payments are non-refundable and we do not refund partial months, except where we fail to provide the service, where we end the Service, or where the law requires otherwise.
- EU, EEA, UK and Swiss consumers: you have 14 days from subscribing to withdraw. By starting Pro immediately you ask us to begin the service during that period; if you withdraw, we refund your payment minus a proportionate amount for the days already provided. To withdraw, email [email protected] from the address on your API account with a clear statement, for example: "I withdraw from my contract for RealBots API Pro, subscribed on [date]." It is enough to send it before the 14 days end. We refund within 14 days of receiving it, to the original payment method.
- Price changes: we will email you at least 30 days before a price change takes effect; you can cancel before then. If payment fails, your key may be moved to the Free plan.
5. Free tools, data files and WordPress plugin
Our free tools and published data files are free to use, including commercially, in your own websites, products and analytics. Please do not mirror our data feed as a standalone competing feed or misrepresent where it comes from. Automated access to the data files is fine within reasonable limits (for example a few fetches per day); heavy traffic should use the API.
The WordPress plugin is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License v2 or later; that license governs the plugin code, and these Terms govern our website, data and API. You install and configure the plugin on your own site and are responsible for its settings, including blocking, and for giving your visitors any privacy notice your law requires.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Service for anything unlawful, or to attack, overload, scan or gain unauthorized access to any system, including ours;
- circumvent quotas, rate limits, payment or security measures, or probe or reverse-engineer the API beyond normal use;
- analyze logs or data you have no right to process; or
- use the Service in a way that infringes others' rights or misleads anyone about our relationship with them.
We may throttle, suspend or revoke keys and access that breach these Terms or threaten the Service or others.
7. Not affiliated; intellectual property
RealBots is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, Microsoft, Apple or any other crawler operator. Their names and marks belong to their owners and are used only to identify their crawlers. The Service, including our software, site content and data compilations, is owned by us or our licensors; except for the rights granted in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.
8. Availability and changes to the Service
We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uptime, response times or support response, and there is no service-level agreement. We may change, add or remove features, endpoints, bots covered and data formats. For changes that break the API, we will try to give Pro customers reasonable notice by email.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service, all results and data are provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that results will correctly identify every crawler, that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, or that published IP ranges are accurate.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, traffic, search rankings, data, goodwill or business, arising out of or related to the Service, even if we were advised of the possibility; and (b) our total liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose or US$50.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, or your statutory rights as a consumer.
11. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from any third-party claim, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your blocking or allowing decisions, data you process with it, or your breach of these Terms. This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by our own breach or fault.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Service and cancel a subscription at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, or discontinue the Service; if we discontinue a paid plan, we will refund any prepaid, unused period. Sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and disputes) survive termination.
13. Disputes and governing law
Talk to us first. Before starting any formal proceeding, please email [email protected] describing the issue; both sides will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.
Governing law and courts. These Terms and any dispute arising from them or the Service are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules; the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Disputes will be decided by the competent courts in Prague, Czech Republic. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country or state where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts there where that law allows.
Individual claims; time limit. To the extent permitted by law, claims may be brought only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative proceeding, and any claim must be brought within one year after it arose, otherwise it is permanently barred.
Out-of-court resolution for EU consumers. Consumers may submit a dispute to the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Česká obchodní inspekce), the body competent for out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes: coi.gov.cz.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We will change the date above, and for material changes we will give notice on the site and email Pro subscribers at least 30 days in advance. Changes do not apply retroactively. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and cancel any subscription.
15. General
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them in connection with a sale or reorganization of the Service. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. These Terms are written in English; any translation is for convenience only. Notices to us must be sent to [email protected]; we send notices to the email address on your API account.
