Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. When you use OAuth/OIDC flows, you control what data you share with third-party applications through consent screens.

Zen OIDC acts as an identity provider and processes authentication data as described in our Privacy Policy. Third-party applications that receive your data are independently responsible for their own data practices.

• Impose or modify rate limits, quotas, and usage restrictions.
• Update these Terms with notice to registered users.
• Perform scheduled maintenance that may temporarily affect availability.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, APIs, documentation, and branding, is owned by Zen OIDC and protected by intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

You retain ownership of any applications or content you create using the Service.

You may terminate your account at any time through the dashboard. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you:

• Violate these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy.

• Create risk or legal exposure for us or other users.

Upon termination, your access to the Service will cease, and we may delete your data in accordance with our retention policies.

9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Zen OIDC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, DATA LOSS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Zen OIDC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another party.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved through binding arbitration, except where prohibited by law.

12. Contact and Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to registered users via email or through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
