1. Nature of the Service
Kalicart provides a Catalog Readiness and Discovery technological layer designed to make e-commerce catalogs readable and queryable by Artificial Intelligence agents and automated systems. The service acts as a technical bridge that normalizes and publishes product data in computable formats (such as JSON-LD, public APIs, and dynamic sitemaps).
2. Role of Kalicart (Discovery Layer)
Kalicart is strictly a data infrastructure provider.
- Read-Only: The service operates on a “read-only” basis regarding the public catalog.
- No Intermediation: Kalicart does not intervene in the sales process, does not handle transactions, does not process orders, and does not act as a financial intermediary between the user and the merchant.
- Handoff: Any commercial interaction initiated through product discovery on Kalicart concludes exclusively on the platforms owned by the respective merchant.
3. Responsibility for Product Data
Information regarding products, prices, availability, and sales policies is provided “as is” by the original merchants through their respective connectors (e.g., WooCommerce, Shopify).
- Accuracy: While Kalicart works to normalize and keep data up to date, the Merchant of Record remains the sole source of truth regarding the validity of any offer.
- Synchronization: Data sync frequency depends on the merchant’s technical settings and the limitations of the source platforms.
4. Use of the Service by Agents and Crawlers
Kalicart authorizes access to its public discovery endpoints for AI agents, crawlers, and search systems, provided that such use does not overload the infrastructure and respects the purposes of discovery and catalog understanding. The use of data for massive scraping aimed at plagiarism or unauthorized reproduction of merchant identity is strictly prohibited.
5. Merchant Identity and External Links
Kalicart preserves and promotes the merchant’s identity. Every product is accompanied by a Canonical URL pointing directly to the original store. Kalicart is not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or commercial practices of connected third-party websites.
6. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Kalicart be held liable for purchasing decisions, price discrepancies, or issues related to order fulfillment, as these activities occur entirely outside the technological scope of the service. Kalicart does not guarantee that the catalog will be free from technical errors or temporary interruptions in the synchronization service.
7. Governance of Sensitive Data
Kalicart implements a “conservative by default” policy. Sensitive data, private promotional codes, or operational information not intended for public disclosure are not processed or exposed within the computable catalog unless explicitly configured by the merchant.
