Service Availability

The Oracle API is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uptime or availability. You may self-host your own Oracle instance using our open-source code.

Rate Limiting

API requests may be subject to rate limiting to ensure fair usage and protect service stability. Excessive usage may result in temporary or permanent access restrictions.

Data Accuracy

Trust calculations are based on publicly available Nostr data. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the data or calculations.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Nostr Web of Trust, its developers, contributors, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
