Terms of Use

The rules, responsibilities, and risk disclosures that apply when you visit the site, download Cloaky, or use the workbench.

Effective date: July 31, 2026. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to cloaky.dev, the Cloaky macOS application, documentation, downloads, and related services (together, the “Service”). By visiting the site, downloading the app, joining the beta list, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use or download the Service.

“Cloaky,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean PeopleTechs and the operator of the Service. “You” means the person or organization using it.

1. The short version

Cloaky is experimental beta software for people who want to choose and inspect the route taken by a coding-agent session. It is supplied for evaluation and development work, not as a guaranteed, secure, error-free, or production-grade system. You are responsible for deciding what to send, which provider and tools to enable, what actions to approve, and whether an output is safe or correct.

Download and use the app at your own risk. Keep independent backups. Do not use Cloaky as the sole control for a production deployment, safety-critical system, regulated decision, financial transaction, medical or legal matter, or any situation where an incorrect, delayed, exposed, or destructive result could cause injury or material loss.

2. Eligibility and your account

You must be legally able to enter a contract where you live. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and you may not use it if doing so would violate the age or data-protection rules that apply to you. If you use Cloaky for an organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms for it.

You are responsible for your device, operating-system account, provider accounts, API keys, project permissions, and every action taken through them. Keep credentials private, use only accounts you are authorized to use, and notify us promptly if you believe a credential or session has been exposed.

3. License to use the beta

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the beta app for your own personal or internal evaluation and development purposes. We may change, suspend, replace, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We do not promise that a particular build will remain available or compatible with your hardware, operating system, provider, model, tool, or project.

Except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right, you may not copy, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, distribute, publicly perform, or commercially exploit the Service; remove proprietary notices; bypass a security or permission control; or reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble it. You may not use the Service to create a competing product or to benchmark it publicly without our written permission. These restrictions do not limit rights you have under an applicable open-source license or other mandatory law.

4. Your content and provider routes

You retain rights in the prompts, code, files, instructions, and other material you submit or make available through Cloaky (“Your Content”). You give us only the limited rights reasonably needed to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service as described in the Privacy page. You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed to use Your Content and for checking each provider’s terms before sending it there.

Cloaky can connect to local model services, Venice, direct providers, web and MCP services, registries, shells, and other tools. Each route may receive different content and metadata. A local inference route does not make an approved network-capable tool offline. Provider terms, retention practices, availability, security, pricing, and output controls are separate from these Terms. We do not operate or control those third-party services.

Do not put passwords, API keys, private keys, regulated data, or information you are not authorized to disclose into a prompt or project unless you have made an informed decision that the selected route and tool are appropriate.

5. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to:

violate law, a contract, another person’s rights, or a provider’s terms;
access, copy, modify, or delete systems, accounts, data, or repositories without authorization;
develop or distribute malware, ransomware, credential theft, spam, or tools intended to evade security, rate limits, safeguards, or monitoring;
submit another person’s personal information without a lawful basis or permission;
interfere with the Service or use it to probe, overload, or disrupt another service; or
make a high-impact decision about a person without meaningful human review and any safeguards required by applicable law.

We may suspend or end access, remove a download, or investigate misuse when we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect people, systems, providers, or the Service. We may preserve or disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to address security, fraud, or abuse.

6. AI output and beta risk

Model output can be incomplete, incorrect, biased, stale, insecure, or misleading. It may resemble existing material or include code with license or security implications. The Service may make edits, run commands, call tools, or alter files when you authorize it. Review proposed changes, commands, permissions, dependencies, licenses, and results before relying on them.

We do not provide professional, legal, medical, financial, security, employment, or other regulated advice. Nothing in the Service creates a fiduciary, agency, employment, or professional relationship. You are the decision-maker and remain responsible for testing, backups, access controls, compliance, and the consequences of using any output.

7. Intellectual property and feedback

The Service, including its software, design, documentation, trademarks, and other materials supplied by us, is owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you. You may send suggestions or bug reports. If you do, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate that feedback without payment or attribution, while Your Content remains yours.

8. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF MALWARE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT DATA, FILES, CREDENTIALS, PROMPTS, OUTPUTS, OR OTHER CONTENT WILL NOT BE LOST, CORRUPTED, EXPOSED, ALTERED, OR MISUSED; THAT A PROVIDER OR TOOL WILL HONOR A PARTICULAR RETENTION OR SECURITY PROMISE; OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. YOU ASSUME THE RISKS OF DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, CONFIGURING, CONNECTING, AND USING THE SERVICE.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits a warranty, right, remedy, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

9. Liability limit

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND REPRESENTATIVES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OPPORTUNITY, DATA, OR SECURITY; OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE KNEW SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) US$100.

These limits apply to the fullest extent permitted by law and do not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability for fraud or intentional misconduct where such limitation is prohibited.

10. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our licensors, service providers, and representatives from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use or misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of another person’s rights or applicable law. We may take over the defense of a claim covered by this section, and you agree to cooperate.

11. Changes, termination, and general terms

We may update these Terms by posting a new version and changing the effective date. If a change materially affects your rights, we will use a reasonable notice method. Your continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your license immediately for a material breach, security risk, or when the beta ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and dispute provisions.

These Terms and the Privacy page are the entire agreement about the Service and replace earlier statements about it. If part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the unenforceable part will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent. Our failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a reorganization, financing, or sale of the Service.

These Terms are governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the operator is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that mandatory consumer protections where you live continue to apply. Courts located in that jurisdiction have non-exclusive jurisdiction, unless applicable law requires a different forum.
