Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-06-01
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service govern your access to AgentGuard software, websites, dashboards, APIs, receipt verifier, and related services operated by Dunecrest Ventures Inc. By creating an account, installing the SDK, purchasing a plan, or using the website, you agree to these terms.
2. Description of Service
AgentGuard provides local-runtime spend caps, capability-gated model routing, reviewer cascade tooling, and signed receipt verification for AI-agent workflows. The SDK runs in your environment. Prompts, completions, API keys, signing keys, policies, and model-provider traffic do not pass through AgentGuard infrastructure.
Hosted AgentGuard services are used for account, license, dashboard, payment, optional telemetry, and public receipt verification workflows.
3. Account Registration
You must provide accurate account information and keep your login credentials and license keys under your control. You are expected to use AgentGuard only for your own organization or for customers you are authorized to support.
4. Payment Terms
Paid plans are billed through Stripe or through supported agent-commerce payment flows. Plan limits, included seats, and paid features are described on the pricing page at the time of purchase. You may cancel future renewals from your billing page or by contacting [email protected].
5. Refund Policy
AgentGuard offers a 30-day money-back refund policy on paid plans. The full policy is available at /legal/refund-policy.
6. Acceptable Use Policy
You may not use AgentGuard to violate law, bypass access controls, hide unauthorized activity, interfere with the service, attack third-party systems, or misrepresent receipt data. You may not remove patent notices, license terms, or functional-use disclaimers from distributed SDK materials.
7. Intellectual Property
Dunecrest Ventures Inc. owns the AgentGuard website, hosted dashboard, receipt formats, documentation, and commercial product surfaces. The SDK is distributed under its published license terms. Patent-pending notices cover six filed USPTO provisional applications: DV-2026-001 through DV-2026-006.
8. Data Privacy
Our data practices are described in the Privacy Policy. The core SDK is designed around zero data plane architecture, meaning AgentGuard infrastructure does not receive prompts, completions, customer data, model-provider API keys, or signing keys from the governed AI calls.
9. Limitation of Liability
AgentGuard is an audit and governance software layer. It records and verifies technical receipts for your configured workflows. It does not operate your agents, approve your business actions, or replace your organization's review process. See the product-boundary explanation in the Legal FAQ.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and indemnify Dunecrest Ventures Inc. against claims arising from your misuse of the service, your violation of these terms, your violation of law, or your use of AgentGuard in workflows you operate.
11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
12. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms to reflect product, legal, or operational changes. Material updates will be posted on this page with an updated date.

Functional-use disclaimer
All terminology and labels used in AgentGuard materials are descriptive of software functionality only, not legal definitions or guarantees of compliance. Terms such as receipt, audit log, evidence, audit trail, attestation, signed, verified, attested, compliance, compliant, outcome, settlement, capability tier, and settles refer to cryptographic software records and programmed state transitions only. They do not state that any record has binding legal effect, official certification, or equivalent status to records maintained by courts, banks, auditors, regulators, or agencies.
Terms drawn from audit, evidence, settlement, credit, debt, market, liquidity, maturity, and similar domains are used only in a functional and descriptive sense. An audit log is a sequence of recorded software events. Evidence means a record that may support a user review. Settlement means a final software state. None of these terms should be read as legal, financial, accounting, or regulatory advice.
Financial-context words such as trade, trading, liquidity, maturity, market, clearing, and exchange, if used in examples, describe token, budget, or workflow mechanics only. AgentGuard does not operate as a broker-dealer, exchange, clearinghouse, investment adviser, insurer, government agency, or regulated marketplace.
Words such as offer, obligation, credit, debt, payment, settle, maker, and taker refer only to hypothetical or user-operated agent workflows, simulated transaction states, or software configuration examples. AgentGuard does not transmit money, extend credit, custody funds, offer financial instruments, or guarantee settlement of obligations.
References to certify, verify, attest, signed, or validated are cryptographic and computational terms. They mean that software performed a signature, hash, schema, or chain check. AgentGuard does not claim that receipts are admissible legal evidence by default, that a court or regulator must accept them, or that use of AgentGuard alone fulfills any legal standard. The software is provided as-is as a technical audit tool.
SDK-specific carveout
AgentGuard provides the @agentguard-run/spend npm package and agentguard-spend PyPI package as open-source SDKs that customers install in their own runtime environments.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the SDKs are provided as-is with no warranty, no support obligation, no indemnity, and no other obligation with respect to local runtime integration. The SDKs are licensed under MIT and are outside the Cloud Service for warranty scope. Customer controls SDK integration, upgrade cadence, and downstream use by customer systems.
This carveout follows the pattern used by SDK-first software companies for local package obligations.
