Terms of Service

Effective date: July 5, 2026.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of Guardian and related services (the "Service") provided by Pythagorithm, Inc. ("Pythagorithm," "we," "us," or "our"). By registering for, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance and the Agreement. By creating an account, checking the box indicating your agreement, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms, our Privacy Statement, and our Acceptable Use Policy, each incorporated by reference. Together they form the entire agreement between you and Pythagorithm regarding the Service (the "Agreement"). If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.

2. The Service. Guardian is a software platform that provides governance, evaluation, and monitoring for artificial-intelligence agents and their interactions. It allows you to register agents, apply governance policies, and receive governance decisions and audit records relating to the AI interactions you route through it. The Service is a governance and monitoring tool. It is not a guarantee of any outcome. Using the Service does not make you, your agents, or your systems compliant with any law, standard, or policy, and does not guarantee that any AI interaction is safe, lawful, accurate, or free from error or harm. You remain solely responsible for your use and for the conduct and outputs of the agents and systems you connect to the Service.

3. Free Service; Beta; Availability. The Service is currently offered free of charge and on an early-access or beta basis. It may contain errors, may change at any time, and may be limited, suspended, or discontinued in whole or in part at any time, with or without notice, in our sole discretion. We do not guarantee that the Service will be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, and make no availability or service-level commitment. Because access may be capacity-limited, registration does not guarantee immediate or continued provisioning of a workspace; we may place registrants on a waitlist and admit users over time in our discretion.

4. Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract. The Service is intended for business and organizational use and is not directed to children.

5. Accounts, Credentials, and Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including any client secrets, tokens, or API keys issued to you, and for all activity under your account. Client secrets are displayed once and are not recoverable; you are responsible for storing them securely. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We are not liable for any loss arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.

6. Your Responsibilities. You are solely responsible for the AI agents you register, for authorizing them, and for all actions those agents take, whether or not routed through the Service. You are responsible for the data, content, prompts, and instructions you or your agents submit, and for ensuring you have the rights to submit them. You are responsible for your and your agents' compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and third-party rights. You are responsible for configuring governance policies appropriately; default or example configurations are provided for convenience and are not recommendations. You will use the Service only in accordance with the Acceptable Use Policy.

7. Monitoring. The Service inspects and analyzes the AI interactions you route through it in order to perform its governance function and to maintain audit records. By using the Service, you consent to this monitoring, and you represent that you have obtained any consents and provided any notices required for us to process those interactions on your behalf. Details are described in our Privacy Statement.

8. Intellectual Property. The Service, including all software, models, methodologies, interfaces, documentation, and the Pythagorithm name and marks, is owned by Pythagorithm and its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes during the term. No other rights are granted; all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

9. Your Data. As between you and Pythagorithm, you retain ownership of the data and content you submit ("Your Data"). You grant Pythagorithm a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, display, and use Your Data as necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Service and as described in the Privacy Statement. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups; we are not a data-storage or records-retention service.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PYTHAGORITHM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. PYTHAGORITHM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT GOVERNANCE DECISIONS WILL BE CORRECT OR SUFFICIENT FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL DETECT, PREVENT, OR MITIGATE ANY PARTICULAR RISK, ERROR, OR HARMFUL CONDUCT. YOU USE THE SERVICE, AND RELY ON ITS OUTPUT, AT YOUR OWN RISK.

11. Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PYTHAGORITHM AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. PYTHAGORITHM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY AI AGENT, FOR ANY DECISION MADE OR ACTION TAKEN IN RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE, FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR DATA OR TRANSMISSIONS, OR FOR ANY CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY. PYTHAGORITHM'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (WHICH, FOR A FREE SERVICE, IS ZERO) OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pythagorithm and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) the acts or omissions of any agent you register or authorize; (c) Your Data or the interactions you route through the Service; (d) your violation of this Agreement or of any law or third-party right; or (e) your negligence or misconduct.

13. Suspension and Termination. You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time and for any reason, including if we believe you have violated this Agreement, with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases and we may deprovision your workspace and delete associated data. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 8 through 14.

14. Governing Law and Disputes. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Bexar County, Texas will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. To the extent permitted by law, any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis, and you waive any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action.

15. Changes to These Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice, such as by posting the updated Terms with a new effective date or by email. Your continued use after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

16. General. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Pythagorithm regarding the Service and supersedes all prior understandings. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign this Agreement without our consent; we may assign it freely. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Notices to you may be provided by email or through the Service; notices to us should be sent to info@pythagorithm.ai.
