Terms of Service

The terms under which Garimpeitor, the internal keyword research tool operated by SESTEC, is made available and used.

Effective date: 15 August 2026 · Last updated: 15 August 2026

1. These terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of Garimpeitor ("the application", "the tool"), an internal software application built and operated by SESTEC — Soluções em Tecnologia ("SESTEC", "we", "us"), a company based in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil.

By accessing or operating the application, an authorised user agrees to these Terms. Anyone who does not agree must not use the application.

2. Nature of the application

Garimpeitor is an internal, read-only research tool. Its sole function is to screen affiliate offer catalogs against search demand data in order to decide which products SESTEC should promote through paid search campaigns funded by its own advertising budget.

The application is not a product. It is not offered, sold, licensed, sublicensed, distributed or made available to third parties, whether free of charge or otherwise. It has no public interface, no registration, and no external user accounts. No service is rendered to any third party through it.

3. Who may use it

Access is restricted to employees and contractors of SESTEC who have been explicitly authorised to operate the tool. Authorisation is granted and revoked at SESTEC's sole discretion. Credentials are personal, must not be shared, and must be surrendered when authorisation ends.

4. Acceptable use

Authorised users must not:

  • use the application, or any data it retrieves, for any purpose other than SESTEC's own internal advertising research;
  • export, publish, resell, redistribute or otherwise disclose data obtained through the application to any third party;
  • attempt to add write, mutation or campaign-management capability to the application's integration with the Google Ads API;
  • circumvent the rate limiting, batching or caching behaviour that keeps our request volume low;
  • use the application to access any Google Ads account other than SESTEC's own;
  • use the application in any manner that breaches the terms of an affiliate network, an advertising platform, or applicable law.

5. Third-party platforms and compliance

The application depends on third-party platforms, including the Google Ads API and the APIs of the affiliate networks SESTEC belongs to. Use of those platforms is additionally governed by their own terms. In particular, our use of the Google Ads API is subject to the Google Ads API Terms and Conditions and the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Where these Terms conflict with the terms of a third-party platform we rely on, the third-party terms prevail in respect of that platform.

6. Data and privacy

How the application handles the data it accesses — including data received from Google APIs — is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Data retrieved through the application is used strictly to inform SESTEC's own advertising decisions and is never displayed publicly, sold, redistributed, or included in any product offered to others.

7. Intellectual property

The application, its source code, its methodology and this website are the property of SESTEC. No licence, right or interest in them is granted to any third party by these Terms or by the publication of this site. Google Ads and Google Trends are trademarks of Google LLC; SESTEC claims no affiliation with, sponsorship by or endorsement from Google.

8. Availability

The application runs as a scheduled internal job, ordinarily once per week. SESTEC gives no guarantee of availability, uptime, run frequency or continuity, and may modify, suspend or discontinue the application at any time without notice.

9. No warranty

The application is provided to authorised internal users "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement. Search metrics obtained from third-party platforms are estimates produced by those platforms; SESTEC does not warrant their accuracy, completeness or predictive value, and every verdict the tool produces is reviewed by a person before any budget is committed.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SESTEC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, nor for any loss of profit, revenue, data or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with the use of, or inability to use, the application — including any advertising spend committed on the basis of its output.

11. Changes to these terms

SESTEC may revise these Terms at any time. The revised version takes effect when published on this page, and the "Last updated" date above will be changed accordingly. Continued use of the application after publication constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. The courts of the Comarca de Florianópolis, State of Santa Catarina, shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them, to the exclusion of any other, however privileged.
