GuardClaw Terms of Service (Public Beta)

1. Agreement and Beta Status

By creating an account, installing GuardClaw software, or using any GuardClaw service, you agree to these terms. If you are using GuardClaw on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

GuardClaw is currently offered as a public beta. This is a pre-release product. Features, limits, APIs, and service behavior may change or be removed without notice. Do not rely on GuardClaw as your sole security measure. Data loss may occur. Uptime is not guaranteed.

2. Account Responsibilities

You agree to: maintain credential security, control access to your account and workspaces, manage API keys and revoke compromised keys promptly, and report suspected compromise promptly.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: use the service unlawfully, intentionally bypass security controls or tamper with agent supervision, abuse rate limits or quotas, use the service to build an unauthorized competing hosted service, or submit deliberately false or misleading threat reports.

4. Billing, Plans, and Quotas

GuardClaw offers three subscription tiers: Free (no cost), Pro ($49/month or $490/year), and Ultimate ($149/month or $1,490/year). During the public beta, the Free tier is fully functional. Plan quotas limit the number of workspaces, policies, viewable receipts, and API requests available at each tier. Specific quota limits are described on the GuardClaw product page.

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance through Stripe. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We will provide at least 30 days advance notice of pricing changes to existing subscribers.

We may retain anonymized and aggregated data beyond your plan's data access window for security research and pattern improvement purposes as described in Section 6 and our Privacy Notice.

5. Agent Management and Monitoring

When agent management features are enabled, GuardClaw may monitor agent processes including resource usage, heartbeat status, and behavioral anomaly scores. Authorized administrators may issue control commands (pause, resume, stop, kill) to individual agents or all agents in a workspace. Agent supervisors may automatically pause or terminate agents that exceed resource limits or exhibit anomalous behavior.

6. Community Threat Intelligence and Training Data

GuardClaw provides a community threat intelligence feature where users may submit threat reports describing novel attack patterns. Participation is voluntary.

License grant: By submitting a threat report, you grant TAKE INTEREST Inc. a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, modify, distribute, and create derivative works from the submitted content for the purpose of improving security detection across the GuardClaw platform.

Review and distribution: Submitted reports are reviewed by TAKE INTEREST Inc. before activation. Approved patterns may be distributed to all authenticated GuardClaw users. We may modify submissions before distribution.

No guarantees: Submitted patterns are provided as-is. TAKE INTEREST Inc. is not liable for false positives, false negatives, or service disruption arising from community-sourced patterns.

Removal: We reserve the right to remove, disable, or modify any community pattern at any time without notice.

Training data: Free tier usage is included in anonymized training data as a condition of the free service. No raw prompts, commands, or PII are used for training — only anonymized and aggregated detection telemetry (threat scores, pattern match counts, decision distributions). On paid plans (Pro and Ultimate), you may opt out of training data collection at any time via your account settings or the CLI (guardclaw training disable).

7. Intellectual Property

TAKE INTEREST Inc. retains all rights, title, and interest in the GuardClaw service, software, security detection patterns, documentation, and related intellectual property. GuardClaw is proprietary software licensed under the GuardClaw Proprietary License (EULA). Nothing in these terms grants you any rights to our intellectual property except the limited right to use the service as described herein.

You retain all rights to your own data stored in the service. We claim no ownership over your workspaces, receipts, agent configurations, or other customer data.

8. Data, Export, and Deletion

Use of the service is subject to the Privacy Notice. Account owners can request data export and account deletion via authenticated endpoints. Deletion cancels any active subscription, marks the account as deleted, and initiates cleanup following configured retention policies. Deletion may not be instantaneous. Billing records may be retained by our payment processor (Stripe) per their data retention policy.

9. Telemetry

GuardClaw collects anonymous telemetry by default to improve security patterns for the community. Telemetry includes decision counts, threat scores, strictness level, threshold, timing, platform, and version. It does not include prompts, commands, file paths, or PII. You may disable telemetry at any time with guardclaw telemetry disable. See the Privacy Notice for details.

10. Receipts and Audit Records

All receipts and audit records are stored indefinitely. Plan quotas limit how many receipts are accessible (viewable) through the dashboard and API, not how many are stored. Free: 1,000 viewable receipts. Pro: 100,000 viewable receipts. Ultimate: 500,000 viewable receipts.

11. Termination and Suspension

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these terms, abuse of the service, or any other reason, with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately. You may terminate your account at any time through the dashboard or by contacting us.

Sections 6 (license grant and training data), 7, 12, 13, and 14 survive termination.

12. Warranty, Liability, and Indemnification

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF AVAILABILITY, FITNESS, OR SUPPORT. THIS IS A PUBLIC BETA. DO NOT RELY ON IT AS YOUR SOLE SECURITY MEASURE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TAKE INTEREST INC.'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $100. TAKE INTEREST INC. IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TAKE INTEREST Inc. and its officers, directors, and employees from any claims, losses, or damages (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the service, violation of these terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

13. Modifications to Terms

We may modify these terms by posting the updated version at this URL and updating the "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days notice via email or in-product notification. Continued use of the service after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. If you do not agree to modified terms, you must stop using the service and delete your account.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these terms or the service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware. You consent to personal jurisdiction in these courts.

15. General

Age restriction: The service is not intended for use by individuals under 13 years of age (or 16 in the EEA). If you are under the applicable age, you may not use the service.

Force majeure: Neither party is liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, government actions, or internet or infrastructure outages.

Entire agreement: These terms, together with the Privacy Notice and any applicable DPA, constitute the entire agreement between you and TAKE INTEREST Inc. regarding the service.

Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
