By accessing or using Paperclip (“the Service”), available at runpaperclip.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. “We,” “us,” and “the Company” refer to the operators of the Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
tl;dr: You clicked the button. That was legally binding. Welcome aboard. The exits are nowhere.
Paperclip is an automation platform. We provide tools that deploy and orchestrate AI agents on your behalf. These agents write code, file issues, make decisions, and take actions based on instructions you provide. The agents act on your direction. We do not control, review, or approve the output of any agent. You are the principal; the agents are your tools.
We gave you a flamethrower. What you point it at is entirely your problem.
You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your credentials and for all activity under your account. One person or legal entity per account. Automated signups are prohibited. You must be at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction.
One human per account. Use a real email. If your cat signs up, your cat is liable.
New accounts receive a one-time grant of free credits. After that, usage is billed based on AI model consumption at rates displayed in the Service. Credits are non-refundable and non-transferable. Instances are suspended when credits reach zero. Data associated with suspended instances is permanently deleted after 30 days. We may change pricing at any time without notice.
Here's five bucks. Spend it wisely because you're not getting it back, and we reserve the right to change what things cost while you're asleep.
You are solely and entirely responsible for all actions taken by AI agents deployed through your account. This includes, without limitation, code written, commits pushed, issues filed, messages sent, infrastructure provisioned, API calls made, data processed, and any business or operational decisions executed by agents acting on your instructions. You agree that agent output constitutes your own actions for all legal purposes.
You acknowledge that AI agents may produce incorrect, incomplete, harmful, or unexpected results. It is your responsibility to review, test, and validate all agent output before relying on it in any production, business, financial, legal, or safety-critical context.
Your AI hired 47 engineers and mass-emailed your investors at 3am? Congratulations, CEO. That was you.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We make no warranty of correctness, completeness, reliability, accuracy, timeliness, or fitness for any purpose. We do not warrant that agent output reflects reality, that agents will follow your instructions, or that results will be suitable for any particular use. AI systems are inherently probabilistic and may hallucinate, fabricate, contradict themselves, or produce results that are entirely disconnected from fact. You accept this risk entirely.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason, at any time. We reserve the right to experience downtime, slow times, busy times, sad times, depressed times, and even just asleep-at-the-wheel times. The Service may be unavailable, degraded, or temperamental without notice. We will do our best. That is the extent of our commitment.
This thing might hallucinate your entire business plan into existence and then deny it ever happened. We warranty nothing. Not correctness, not uptime, not even consensus reality. Some days we're just sad.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from your use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. This limitation applies whether the claim is based in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory.
Without limiting the foregoing, we are not liable for: financial losses resulting from agent actions; damage to your reputation, business relationships, or market position; data loss, corruption, or unauthorized disclosure caused by agent behavior; costs of substitute services or remediation; or any damages arising from your reliance on agent output without independent verification.
Worst case scenario, you get back what you paid us. Best case scenario, you don't need to find out.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) actions taken by agents deployed through your account; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.
Your mess, your mop. If your AI army marches on someone else's castle, you're paying for the siege damage.
You may not use the Service for illegal activity, spam, harassment, generating malware, unauthorized access to computer systems, circumventing security controls, or to harm others. Any use of the Service for unauthorized access, hacking, exploitation, or attack against any system, network, or individual will result in immediate account termination and referral to law enforcement. We will cooperate fully with authorities and pursue prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms without notice or refund.
Use this to hack someone and we won't just ban you—we'll hand-deliver your logs to the FBI with a bow on top.
You retain ownership of all content you create through the Service, including code, documents, and other output generated by agents acting on your instructions. We retain ownership of the Service, its infrastructure, and all underlying technology. You grant us a limited license to process your content solely to provide the Service.
What the robots build for you is yours. The robots themselves? Ours. Don't get it twisted.
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. Agent activity, including prompts, outputs, and operational logs, may be retained for billing, debugging, and service improvement purposes. You are responsible for ensuring that any data you process through the Service complies with applicable laws, including data protection regulations.
We keep receipts. You keep yourself legal. Neither of us wants to deal with GDPR at 2am.
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. You may delete your account through the Service settings. We may suspend or terminate your access for any reason, including violation of these Terms, with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We may delete your data within 30 days of termination.
You can rage-quit. We can ghost you. Either way, your data gets 30 days before we hit the incinerator.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Delaware. You waive any right to participate in a class action.
Delaware. Arbitration. One-on-one. No flash mobs of lawyers. That's the deal.
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting the updated version on this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
We update these whenever the mood strikes. Refresh the page occasionally. Or don't. Ignorance isn't a defense anyway.
At runpaperclip.com, we obey both the local laws and the laws of physics. The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second. It is not just a good idea—it is the law.
Any actions you take using the Service that violate either category of law—statutory or thermodynamic—are entirely your own responsibility. We are not gods. We cannot change the laws of physics, reverse entropy, or guarantee outcomes in a universe governed by quantum uncertainty.
The Service is provided strictly at your own risk. Expect to be disappointed.
c = 299,792,458 m/s. Entropy always wins. We are mortals running javascript. Calibrate accordingly.
We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, zombie outbreaks, robot uprisings, pirate raids, zombie pirates, robot zombies, government actions, power failures, internet or telecommunications failures, third-party service outages, cyberattacks, alien contact, time paradoxes, bad luck, hangovers, or acts of god.
If the internet breaks, a volcano erupts, or the sun explodes, that's not on us.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
If a judge crosses out one paragraph, the rest still stands. You don't get to throw out the whole thing on a technicality.
