Terms of Service
Last updated: August 2026
1. Agreement
These Terms govern access to and use of Forkcell (the “Service”), operated by Nicholas Muir. By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and “you” means that organization.
2. The Service
Forkcell orchestrates disposable AI coding workspaces: it takes a ticket, runs a coding agent against repositories you connect, and produces pull requests for your review. The Service is an orchestration tool — the code it produces is a draft for your engineers, not a finished product of ours.
3. Accounts and seats
You are responsible for your account, for keeping credentials secure, and for all activity under your account, including activity initiated by agents on your instruction. Seats are licensed per person and may not be shared. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
4. Your content and code
You retain all rights to the repositories, tickets, credentials, and code you connect to the Service (“Customer Content”), and to all output the agents produce for you — Nicholas Muir claims no ownership of either. You grant Nicholas Muir only the limited rights needed to operate the Service on your behalf: cloning repositories you designate, running agents against them, and pushing the resulting branches and pull requests back to your repositories. You are responsible for having the rights to the Customer Content you provide. We never use Customer Content to train models.
5. AI-generated output — your review is required
AI agents produce plausible code that can be wrong, insecure, or incomplete. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) all agent output is provided for review by a qualified human before use; (b) you are solely responsible for reviewing, testing, merging, and deploying agent output, and for the consequences of running it; (c) Nicholas Muir makes no warranty that agent output is correct, secure, free of defects, or non-infringing; and (d) test-gate results, cost estimates, and failure diagnoses shown in the product are aids, not guarantees. The pull-request workflow exists precisely so that nothing the agent writes reaches your systems without your approval.
6. Third-party model providers
Agents call the model provider your organization configures (for example Anthropic, OpenAI, or a self-hosted model), under your keys and that provider’s terms and pricing. You are responsible for those costs and for compliance with the provider’s terms. Spend figures shown in the product are estimates reported by the provider’s tooling, not invoices from us.
7. Self-hosted runners
Where you run workspaces on your own machines (“runners”), those machines are yours: you are responsible for their security, capacity, and operation, and for the code that executes on them. The runner is designed to be safe by default — outbound connections only, an allowlisted command policy, per-organization isolation — and optional capabilities that widen its access (such as mounting the Docker socket for repositories that build containers) are off by default, clearly documented as root-equivalent, and enabled at your choice and risk. Where we host workspaces for you, we are responsible for that infrastructure.
8. Acceptable use and fair use
You may not use the Service to break the law, infringe others’ rights, mine cryptocurrency, attack or overload infrastructure, resell workspace compute, or circumvent seat, quota, or plan limits. We enforce this transparently: free-tier workspaces are subject to daily quotas, restricted runtimes, and automated resource monitoring that stops sustained abusive workloads. We may suspend accounts that put the Service or other customers at risk, and will tell you why.
9. Fees, billing, and trials
Paid plans are billed per seat, in advance, on a recurring basis through Stripe. The free tier may require a valid payment card on file as an anti-abuse measure; the card is not charged while you remain on the free tier. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change pricing with at least 30 days’ notice, effective from your next billing cycle. Failure to pay may result in downgrade or suspension after notice.
10. Availability, support, and beta features
We aim for high availability but the Service is provided without an uptime guarantee unless one is agreed in writing. Features marked beta or preview are provided as-is, may change or be withdrawn, and should not be relied on for production workflows. Self-hosted installs are operated by you; our responsibility for them is limited to the software we ship.
11. Termination
You may cancel at any time; access continues until the end of the paid period. You may export your configuration and delete your data before or after cancelling (see the Privacy Policy for deletion timelines). We may suspend or terminate access for material breach of these Terms; where practical we will give notice and a chance to cure first. Sections 4, 5, 12, and 13 survive termination.
12. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Nicholas Muir is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or business — including losses arising from your use or deployment of agent output — and our total aggregate liability under these Terms is limited to the amounts you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.
13. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify Nicholas Muir against third-party claims arising from Customer Content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights — except to the extent the claim results from our breach of these Terms.
14. General
These Terms are the entire agreement between us regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on that subject. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger or sale. Notices to you may be given in-product or by email to your account address. We may update these Terms; material changes will be announced at least 14 days before taking effect, and continued use after that constitutes acceptance. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
