LiteWhois Terms of Service

What changed: first release — assembled from the house legal template with LiteWhois's verified product facts; the limitation of liability is corrected to the statutory-floor wording.

Important notice: These terms are the agreement between you and Xiamen Jingdu Network Technology Co., Ltd. ("we") regarding LiteWhois ("the Service"). Please read the bold clauses carefully; by using the Service you agree to these terms and the privacy policy.

1. Acceptance and about the Service

• By accessing and using the Service you agree to these terms; if you do not agree, please do not use it. The Service is a lab project operated by Lite Lake.
• The Service exposes WHOIS / RDAP records and presents domain registration data, through the web lookup page or the public lookup API; no account is needed and all features are free.
• These terms apply to any use of the Service through whois.litelake.cn, whois.litelake.com and the public lookup API; where a specific form of access has its own terms, those terms prevail.

2. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service in violation of applicable laws and regulations (including privacy and data protection laws);
• submit or distribute illegal or harmful information;
• abuse query volume through automated means or attempt to bypass the Service's rate limiting;
• repackage the Service as your own product for resale or republication;
• interfere with normal operation: attacking or probing the system, malicious bulk requests.

If you violate the above rules, we may take measures such as rate limiting, suspension or termination of service, and any losses caused shall be borne by you.

3. Data you submit

• You retain all rights to the data you submit. The domains you query are used only to complete the lookup, caching and aggregate statistics; how they are handled and retained is described in the privacy policy.
• You are responsible for the lawfulness and purpose of what you submit.

4. Public API and automated access

• The public lookup API requires no API key and is subject to the published rate limits (as described in the API documentation); bypassing rate limits or malicious automated access is prohibited.
• The API may change or be retired as the Service evolves, and we will announce this as far in advance as practicable.

5. Intellectual property

The Service's software, design, brand assets and original copy belong to us. WHOIS / RDAP record data belongs to the respective registries and registrars.

6. Changes, interruption and termination

• The Service (including free features) may change, be suspended or terminate due to upgrades, maintenance or operational adjustments; we will announce this reasonably. You should not treat the Service as an irreplaceable data source — make your own fallback arrangements.
• You may stop using the Service at any time.
• After these terms terminate, provisions that by their nature survive (such as disclaimers and limitation of liability, and governing law) remain in effect.

7. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

• The Service is provided "as is"; we do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, or fitness for your particular expectations.
• The data presented comes from registry and registrar sources and is provided "as is" — we do not verify, correct or guarantee its accuracy or completeness, and it should not be the sole basis for registration, transaction or risk decisions.
• To the extent permitted by law, our liability for property damage caused by ordinary negligence is limited to the fees (if any — the Service is free) you paid for the Service during the period giving rise to the loss; this clause does not exclude liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
• We are not liable for losses caused by force majeure or third-party service failures (networks, upstream WHOIS / RDAP services), but will reasonably assist you in pursuing claims against the third party.

8. Governing law and dispute resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China. Disputes shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation; failing that, either party may bring a suit before the people's court with jurisdiction at the location of Xiamen Jingdu Network Technology Co., Ltd. This clause does not affect your right to choose other remedies provided by law.

9. Miscellaneous

• Notices: important notices are given through in-site announcements or email.
• If any provision of these terms is invalid, the remaining provisions remain in force.
• Entire agreement: these terms and the privacy policy form the entire agreement.
• Language: the Chinese version prevails on whois.litelake.cn; the English version prevails on whois.litelake.com.
• Contact us: official@biz.gentleltd.cn.
