ToolsEnabled Account Terms
These terms replace version 0.9-beta of our Terms of Use for the ToolsEnabled account. If you accepted 0.9-beta, you can still read it at /legal/terms/0.9-beta/.
1. What these terms cover
These terms cover two things, and only these:
- your ToolsEnabled account, and
- the hosted service we operate for account holders: signing in, adding your computers, and connecting them to each other and to your browser through our servers.
They do not cover the software itself. ToolsEnabled's software is released under the MIT License, and that license is the whole of your rights to the code. Nothing here narrows it, adds conditions to it, or takes anything back. Our other products and this website are covered by the Terms page. You never need an account to run our software on your own computer.
2. Your account
The account is free. You sign in with your email address and a password, with your Google account, or both. You can also add a passkey (see §4).
- You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
- An account is for one person. Keep your sign-in details to yourself; you are responsible for what is done with your account.
- You may not create an account or connect through our servers if you are located in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, or the Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine (Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia), and you may not use the hosted service if you are a person or entity on a U.S. sanctions list. By creating an account you are telling us that none of that applies to you.
3. The hosted service
When you add a computer to your account, it gets its own name and credentials, and our servers can introduce it to your other computers and to your signed-in browser. Connections are end-to-end encrypted between your devices; our relay carries the encrypted traffic when your devices cannot reach each other directly.
The free allowance per account is:
- up to 8 computers added to your account, and
- 1 active web session at a time.
How the allowance is applied:
- Adding a computer beyond the allowance is refused with a message telling you so; remove one first.
- Signing in on a new browser signs out the old one. The newest session always survives; you are never locked out by your own older session.
- A computer can be connected to several of your other computers at once.
Fair use. The hosted service is shared. We may slow down or limit traffic that is far beyond normal use, and we will say so plainly rather than cut you off without a reason.
The hosted service is provided as available, with no service-level commitment. We may throttle, suspend or discontinue it, and we may change the free allowance. For material reductions affecting existing accounts we will give at least 30 days' notice through the product and the website before the change takes effect. That notice period is the whole of the commitment.
4. Remote access can control your computer
Read this even if you read nothing else.
A computer you add to your account and connect can be driven from your signed-in browser and from your other connected computers. Depending on how you set up the software on that computer, that can include reading, changing and deleting files and running programs on it.
- Only add computers you own or are authorised to control.
- Anyone who can sign in to your account may be able to reach the computers on it. Use a strong password and consider passkey protection.
- Passkey protection is optional. Once you turn it on, remote access to your computers requires a passkey check, and password or email recovery cannot remove that requirement. If you lose every passkey you registered, remote access stays locked; you can still use each computer locally. Keep a second passkey somewhere safe.
- You can remove a computer from your account at any time on the account page, and you can sign out of every session.
5. The service is new
We are still building this, and we would rather say what that costs you than let you find out.
- We may need to reset accounts. If that happens you would create your account again and add your computers again. We will tell you first if we possibly can.
- Features may appear, change or be withdrawn.
- Nothing on your own computers is affected by an account reset. Your files and your agents' records live on your computers and we do not hold them. The whole of what we keep about your account is listed in the Privacy page.
6. AI models are not ours
The software can connect to AI providers you choose and sign in to yourself. We do not make or run those models, and we are not a party to your agreement with the provider. What a model decides to do is its behaviour under your own account and your own agreement with that provider; usage the software multiplies is usage you answer for to your provider. What we are responsible for is our own software and service, and §9 says so.
7. Acceptable use
Do not use the account or the hosted service to:
- break the law, or the terms of any AI provider or other service you use through it;
- gain access to any computer, account or data you are not authorised to access;
- attack, overload or interfere with our servers or anyone else's;
- resell it, or offer it to others as a service — the account connects your own computers;
- use it as a general-purpose proxy, relay or tunnel for anything other than ToolsEnabled's own connections between your devices;
- get around the free allowance, for example by rotating accounts.
We may limit or close an account that breaks this section, and we close, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of repeat infringers. Your MIT rights and your local use of the software are untouched by any account action.
8. No warranty
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE ACCOUNT AND THE HOSTED SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We make no support commitment for the free account or the free hosted service. Where we help, we help because we want to.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE ACCOUNT OR THE HOSTED SERVICE — INCLUDING DAMAGE CAUSED BY AN AI MODEL'S DECISIONS ON A COMPUTER YOU HAVE CONNECTED, WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD IN §4 CAN BE GIVEN CONTROL OF THAT COMPUTER.
This exclusion is deliberately narrower than "everything". It does not exclude liability for direct damages caused by a failure of our own sign-in, passkey checks, device authorisation or connection encryption to work as our documentation describes. We disclaim the model's behaviour; we stand behind our own machinery.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. For consumers in California, nothing here waives rights under the Consumers Legal Remedies Act or any other non-waivable consumer protection.
10. No independent security review
The hosted service has not had an independent external security review. Nothing in our documentation should be read as a claim that it has been audited.
11. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these terms or from your use of the account or the hosted service will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Riverside County, California, and you and we each consent to that venue.
There is no arbitration clause and no class-action waiver in these terms. Nothing in this section removes protections that the law of your place of residence gives you and does not allow you to waive.
12. Changes
We will update the version and date on this document and, for material changes, give notice through the product and on the website before the change takes effect. Previous versions stay reachable at a permanent address: if you accepted an earlier version, you are entitled to read the one you accepted. Your account page shows the version you accepted and a fingerprint of its exact text.
13. Who we are, and how to reach us
The account and the hosted service are provided by ToolsEnabled, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Delaware file number 10741110), which is the party to these terms.
