Terms of Service

DRAFT — requires attorney review. Last updated: 2026-04-16.

DRAFT notice. Gluecron is in pre-launch. These Terms are a good-faith draft and have not yet been reviewed by counsel. They will be finalized and updated before general availability. If you are relying on any provision of these Terms, contact support@gluecron.com for written confirmation first.

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using Gluecron (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Your use of the Service constitutes your binding acceptance, whether or not you create an account.

2. Service description

Gluecron is a git hosting, code collaboration, and AI-assisted code intelligence platform. The Service is currently in a pre-launch / final validation phase. Features, availability, and pricing may change without notice. Nothing in the Service is guaranteed to be production-ready, continuously available, or backed by a service level agreement unless agreed to in a separate, signed writing.

3. User accounts

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. You must provide accurate and current registration information, and you are solely responsible for all activity under your account, including maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials, tokens, passkeys, and SSH keys. We intend to offer multi-factor authentication; enabling it is your responsibility. We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized access to your account.

4. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service is governed by our Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Violation of the AUP is a material breach of these Terms.

5. Intellectual property

You retain all ownership of the content, code, and data you push, upload, or submit to the Service ("User Content"). You grant Gluecron a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, and create derivative works of your User Content, solely as needed to operate, maintain, secure, analyze, and improve the Service, including for AI features you invoke. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license.

6. AI features

The Service includes AI-assisted features (code review, chat, explanations, test generation, auto-repair, dependency updates, incident summaries, semantic search). AI output is provided on an informational basis only. AI output is not professional advice, is not a substitute for human review, and may be incorrect, incomplete, or unsafe. You are solely responsible for reviewing, testing, and validating any AI output before relying on it. AI output may be generated in part by third-party large language model providers; we do not warrant the accuracy, fitness, originality, or non-infringement of any AI output. DRAFT — requires attorney review.

7. Binding individual arbitration & class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully. You and Gluecron agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration, and not in a class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitration shall be administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or JAMS (claimant's choice). The arbitrator may award only individual relief. You waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding.

30-day mail-in opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by mailing a written, signed opt-out notice containing your name, username, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out, to the address we publish on our contact page, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opt-out is effective only if postmarked within that window.

Small-claims carve-out. Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court instead of arbitration, so long as the action remains in that court and is brought individually.

DRAFT — requires attorney review; AAA/JAMS choice, seat of arbitration, and consumer-arbitration fee allocation must be reconciled with New Zealand governing law (see Section 14).

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF GLUECRON, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100 USD) OR (B) THE FEES YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO GLUECRON FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. Because Gluecron has no billing yet during pre-launch, this cap is effectively $100 USD. DRAFT — requires attorney review.

9. No consequential damages

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GLUECRON SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT GLUECRON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10. AS-IS / AS-AVAILABLE; no warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. GLUECRON DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT ANY AI OUTPUT IS ACCURATE OR SAFE, OR THAT YOUR DATA WILL NOT BE LOST.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gluecron, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your code, data, or dependencies; (c) your use of the Service; (d) your violation of these Terms, the AUP, or applicable law; (e) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property, privacy, or publicity right; or (f) any claim that your User Content caused damage to a third party.

12. Termination and suspension

We may suspend or terminate your account, any individual repository, or your access to any portion of the Service, at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, at our sole discretion. Upon termination, we intend to retain your data for thirty (30) days to allow for export or reinstatement, after which we intend to purge it, though we make no guarantee of recoverability.

13. Prohibited uses

Without limiting the AUP, you may not use the Service to: (a) host, distribute, or develop illegal content; (b) host, store, transmit, or generate child sexual abuse material ("CSAM"), which will result in immediate termination and reporting to law enforcement; (c) develop, distribute, or execute malware, viruses, ransomware, or other harmful code; (d) conduct stress tests, denial-of-service attacks, or load tests against the Service or any third party; (e) reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service; or (f) scrape, crawl, or use automated means to access the Service except as permitted by our public APIs.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 7, the courts of New Zealand shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration. DRAFT — requires attorney review; NZ governing law is inferred from the founder's handle and must be confirmed or changed by counsel.

15. Export controls and sanctions

You represent and warrant that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country that is subject to a comprehensive U.S., U.K., E.U., or U.N. embargo, and that you are not on any government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and sanctions administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"). You will not use the Service to develop, design, manufacture, or produce any weapon of mass destruction.

16. Force majeure

Gluecron shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, government action, epidemics or pandemics, labor shortages, internet or telecommunications outages, third-party service-provider failures (including hosting, DNS, CDN, database, or AI providers), cyberattacks, or power failures.

17. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the AUP, Privacy Policy, and DMCA Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Gluecron with respect to the Service, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings.

18. Changes to these Terms

We intend to provide thirty (30) days' notice of material changes to these Terms, by email to the address on your account or by posting a notice in the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We may, at our discretion, make non-material changes (clarifications, typo fixes) without notice.
