Terms
Plain-English terms. These apply when you create an account or call the MCP server.
What this is
Gridscoot is a free price-comparison and product-discovery service for Australian retailers, accessed via an MCP server (primary surface) and a public REST API (secondary). We aggregate prices + stock signals from retailer affiliate feeds + public sources.
No warranty on prices
Prices change minute-by-minute at retailers. We show our most recent observation, dated. We do not guarantee a retailer will honour a price quoted on our service; always verify at the retailer before purchasing. We are not liable for retailer-side availability, delivery, or quality issues.
Affiliate links
Outbound links to retailers may carry affiliate tracking. The retailer pays us a commission on qualifying purchases; you pay the same retailer price either way. See Privacy for what we collect.
Acceptable use of the MCP
Don't abuse the rate limits (60 search calls/min, 20 alert creations/hour — see your token issuance for the exact numbers). Don't try to scrape our catalog wholesale (use the REST API; if you need bulk, contact us). Don't use the MCP to facilitate spam, fraud, or consumer harm.
Service availability
We aim for 99% uptime but make no formal SLA promises at this stage. A status page will be added before general availability.
Changes
We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced via the landing page + email to any registered users.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia. Disputes go through the appropriate Australian Consumer Law channels.
