Terms of Service

You must be at least 18 years old to create a Kinnoo account and use the Service. If you are between 13 and 17 years old, you may use the Service only with the verifiable consent and active supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. The Service is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13 in compliance with the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”).

When you register for an account, you must provide accurate, current, and complete information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials issued to you by Kinde Auth and of any CLI access tokens, publish tokens, or API tokens that you generate or that the Service issues to you (collectively, “Access Tokens”), and you are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account or with your Access Tokens, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to keep Access Tokens secret, to scope them to the minimum permissions required, to rotate or revoke them promptly when they may have been exposed (including when accidentally committed to a published Agent archive or to any public location), and to notify us promptly of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your account, of any Access Token, or of any other breach of security.

Accounts are issued to individual humans. You may not share your account credentials with any other person, and you may not register an account on behalf of any person other than yourself unless that person is a minor for whom you are legally responsible. Automated agents, bots, or scripts may interact with the Service only through the documented public APIs of an account that you control and only in compliance with these Terms.

“User Content” means any content that you submit, upload, publish, or otherwise transmit through the Service, including but not limited to Agent archives (source code, compiled artifacts, model weights, configuration files, and assets), Agent metadata (names, descriptions, tags, version numbers, dependency declarations, permission declarations, and documentation), comments, profile information, and any other materials you make available through the Service.

You retain all right, title, and interest in and to your User Content, including any copyrights and other intellectual property rights you hold in that content. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your User Content to Kinnoo.

You grant Kinnoo a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, cache, reproduce, transmit, parse, index, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise use your User Content solely as reasonably necessary to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service. This includes, without limitation, the right to: (a) store Agent archives so they may be downloaded and installed by other Users; (b) display Agent metadata, documentation, and version history in the registry user interface and through the API; (c) generate derivative artifacts (such as search indices, integrity checksums, security scan results, and previews) for the operation of the Service; and (d) make backup and disaster-recovery copies.

You also grant each other User of the Service the rights granted to that User by the license you have applied to your User Content (for example, an open-source license file included in your Agent archive). You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant the licenses described in this section.

Unless an Agent or piece of metadata is explicitly marked as private and the Service supports such marking, you should assume that User Content you publish to the registry is publicly accessible to any visitor or User of the Service, including indexable by third-party search engines and downloadable by other Users. Once an Agent archive or piece of metadata has been published, it may have been downloaded, mirrored, cached, or indexed by other Users or third parties, and Kinnoo cannot recall those copies on your behalf.

You are responsible for the contents of every Agent archive and every piece of metadata you publish. You agree not to publish, and you represent and warrant that your published User Content does not contain, any of the following: API keys, OAuth tokens, personal access tokens, cryptographic private keys, database connection strings or credentials, cloud-provider access keys, customer data, personally identifiable information about any third party, protected health information, payment- card data, or any other secret or sensitive information that you do not intend to disclose publicly. You acknowledge that any such information you publish must be considered compromised, that you are responsible for promptly rotating or revoking it, and that Kinnoo’s removal of the published copy does not remediate copies that other Users or third parties may have downloaded.

You are solely responsible for any Agent that you publish, install, configure, execute, or deploy through or as a result of the Service, and for the actions, outputs, decisions, omissions, side effects, network calls, file-system modifications, financial transactions, communications, and any other consequences of those Agents in your environment, in any environment you control, or in any environment on whose behalf you act. This responsibility applies whether the Agent was authored by you or by another User and whether you obtained the Agent through the registry, the CLI, the API, a mirror, or any other distribution channel.

Agents are autonomous or semi-autonomous software systems that may produce non- deterministic outputs, take actions on external systems, invoke paid APIs, send communications, modify data, or otherwise act with real-world consequences. You agree to maintain meaningful, qualified, and timely human oversight (“Human-in-the- Loop”) over any Agent you deploy by, at a minimum: (a) reviewing the Agent’s declared permissions, dependencies, and behavior before installation; (b) running the Agent in an isolated or sandboxed environment that limits its access to only the resources it requires; (c) configuring approval gates, dry-run modes, spending caps, and rate limits where consequential actions are possible; (d) monitoring the Agent in production and being able to intervene, pause, or terminate the Agent in a timely manner; and (e) verifying outputs before relying on them for any decision that has material legal, financial, safety, medical, or reputational consequences.

The Service, the CLI, and Agents distributed through the Service are general-purpose tools and are not designed, intended, or authorized for use in high-risk applications where failure could lead to death, personal injury, environmental damage, or other catastrophic harm, including but not limited to safety-critical medical devices, life-support systems, autonomous vehicles, weapons systems, nuclear facilities, or critical infrastructure control systems. You agree not to use the Service for any such purpose.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service and any Agent you publish, install, or run complies with all laws, regulations, contracts, and policies applicable to you, including but not limited to laws regarding privacy, data protection, export controls, sanctions, intellectual property, consumer protection, financial services, healthcare, and the use of artificial intelligence.

The Kinnoo command-line interface (the “CLI”) is a client application that you download to and run on a computer that you control. When you use the CLI to install, fetch, or run an Agent, the Agent’s code is executed on your local machine (or on whatever environment in which you choose to run the CLI), with the permissions of the operating-system user that invoked the CLI. The CLI is not a sandbox, and Kinnoo does not control, monitor, or limit what the Agent can do once it is running on your machine. You are solely responsible for the environment in which you run the CLI and for any read, write, network, billing, or side-effect actions that an Agent performs once executed.

Agents may, when executed, invoke third-party services, including but not limited to large-language-model providers, search APIs, payment APIs, communication platforms, cloud-storage providers, vector databases, browser-automation services, and other online services (collectively, “Third-Party Services”). Kinnoo is not a party to your relationship with any Third-Party Service. Your use of any Third-Party Service is governed solely by that service’s own terms, acceptable-use policy, and privacy notice, and you are solely responsible for: (a) reviewing and complying with those terms; (b) any data, prompts, content, or instructions that an Agent transmits to a Third-Party Service while running on your machine; (c) any fees, charges, or quota consumption incurred by an Agent against a Third-Party Service using your credentials; and (d) any consequences of a Third-Party Service’s response being acted upon by the Agent. Kinnoo does not receive, store, or process the inputs or outputs that an Agent exchanges with a Third-Party Service when the Agent is executed locally through the CLI.

If you provide an Agent with credentials or Access Tokens to a Third-Party Service, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for the secure storage, scoping, and rotation of those credentials. Kinnoo recommends configuring the most restrictive permissions and spending limits available, running Agents in an isolated environment (for example, a dedicated user account, container, or virtual machine), and reviewing the Agent’s declared permissions and dependencies before execution.

Excluding User Content, the Service and all materials provided by or on behalf of Kinnoo, including but not limited to the Kinnoo name, the Kinnoo logo, the Kinnoo website, the CLI, the registry user interface, documentation, designs, graphics, and software, are owned by Kinnoo or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Kinnoo grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose. No other rights are granted to you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

Portions of the Service and the CLI may be made available under one or more open- source licenses. Where an open-source license applies to a particular component, that license governs your use of that component to the extent of any conflict with these Terms.

If you provide Kinnoo with any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, or other feedback regarding the Service (“Feedback”), you grant Kinnoo a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose, without any obligation or compensation to you.

Kinnoo respects the intellectual-property rights of others. If you believe that content available through the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice of infringement that complies with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) using the contact information in Section 13. We will respond to properly submitted notices in accordance with the DMCA and our internal procedures, including by removing or disabling access to allegedly infringing content and, in appropriate circumstances, terminating the accounts of repeat infringers.

For purposes of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2), Kinnoo has designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement. The current contact information for the designated agent is published on the Kinnoo website and may also be obtained by contacting Kinnoo support through the channels described in Section 13. Notices must include all of the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), including a physical or electronic signature, identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, identification of the allegedly infringing material sufficient to permit us to locate it, your contact information, a good-faith statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder. Misrepresentations in a DMCA notice may subject you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

You may stop using the Service at any time. You may also request deletion of your account by following the procedures described in our Privacy Policy. Termination of your account does not automatically remove from the Service any User Content that has already been published, mirrored, or downloaded by other Users; please see Section 8.3 for our retention practices.

Kinnoo reserves the right, at its sole discretion and at any time, with or without prior notice and with or without cause, to: (a) suspend or terminate your account; (b) remove, disable, deprecate, hide, mark as deprecated, or restrict access to any Agent, Agent version, or other User Content; (c) refuse to publish or accept future uploads from you; (d) revoke API keys or credentials; (e) impose or modify rate limits, quotas, or other usage restrictions; and (f) modify, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Service. Kinnoo may take any of these actions including, without limitation, in response to suspected violations of these Terms, in response to legal process or government request, to protect the security or integrity of the Service or its Users, to address operational, technical, or commercial concerns, or for any other reason it deems appropriate.

For security, audit, incident-response, dispute-resolution, and legal-compliance purposes, Kinnoo may, in its sole discretion, retain copies of Agent archives, metadata, and logs that have been published to the Service, including after the corresponding Agent or account has been removed from the user-facing registry. Such retained copies will not be made publicly accessible through the registry but may be preserved internally, disclosed to law-enforcement or regulatory authorities where permitted or required by law, or used to enforce these Terms. The fact that an Agent has been removed from the user-facing registry does not guarantee that all copies of the Agent have been or will be deleted from internal systems, backups, or third-party mirrors.

Upon termination of your account or of these Terms for any reason, your right to access and use the Service will immediately cease. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination, including without limitation Sections 3 (license to operate the Service, with respect to retained content), 4 (non- endorsement), 5 (user responsibility), 7 (intellectual property), 8.3 (retention), 9 (disclaimers), 10 (limitation of liability), 11 (indemnification), 12 (governing law and dispute resolution), and 13 (general provisions), will survive.

Kinnoo may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (such as a banner in the Service or an email to the address associated with your account). Your continued access to or use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of those updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements that are expressly incorporated into these Terms by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Kinnoo regarding the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or understandings, whether written or oral, regarding the same subject matter.

The failure of Kinnoo to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Kinnoo.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Kinnoo’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void. Kinnoo may freely assign or transfer these Terms in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

You and Kinnoo are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and Kinnoo.

If you have questions about these Terms, you may contact Kinnoo support through the channels published on the Kinnoo website, including by opening an issue at https://github.com/kinnoo-project/kinnoo/issues.
