Terms of Service

0. Who You Are Contracting With

In these Terms, "Clawmont", "we", "us", and "our" refer to the Clawmont service and its operator - its founder, established in the Republic of Lithuania (EU). "You" refers to the natural or legal person who accepts these Terms. Our business registration and VAT identification details, where applicable, are provided on any invoice we are required to issue and on request for compliance purposes; for any question about the contracting party, billing, or compliance, contact [email protected].

1. Service Description

Clawmont is an in-process security layer for AI and LLM tools. It provides role-based AI gateway configuration and inspects prompts, tool calls, and outputs, and is designed to detect and block known attack patterns. The plugin runs locally on your infrastructure; the optional Guardrails cloud add-on adds hosted alert delivery and an audit trail. Clawmont is a defense-in-depth layer, not a guarantee of security - it is designed to reduce risk, not to eliminate it, and it does not replace your own security practices (see Section 7).

2. License Grant (BUSL-1.1)

Clawmont is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1 (BUSL-1.1). The source is available to read and audit, but BUSL-1.1 is not an open-source license - it restricts production use to licensed customers and prohibits offering Clawmont, or a derivative of it, as a competing product or hosted service. Your purchase grants you a license to install and run the plugin on machines you control for your own use. You may not redistribute the plugin, share or resell license keys, or sublicense it to third parties. On the license's change date, the code converts to the Apache 2.0 license as stated in the LICENSE file shipped with the source.

3. Plans and Billing

• Persona: $30 one-time - single persona license.
• Apex: $40 one-time - every persona, including every future persona we ship.
• Guardrails (Clawmont Security): the four-pillar security layer - $9.99/month when bundled with a persona or Apex, or $19.99/month as a standalone subscription. Includes real-time alerts, daily digests, and a hosted audit trail. Billed monthly.
• Payments are processed by our third-party payment partners. Where checkout is operated by Paddle.com acting as Merchant of Record, Paddle is the seller of record and handles payment, tax collection, and invoicing; otherwise payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details either way. Prices exclude applicable taxes, which are added at checkout where required.

4. Refunds and Right of Withdrawal

If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA you ordinarily have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital purchases. For one-time licences (Persona, Apex) the plugin is made available for download and activation immediately on purchase: by completing checkout you give your express prior consent to that immediate supply and acknowledge that you thereby lose the right of withdrawal, in accordance with Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU and the corresponding provisions of the Lithuanian Civil Code. Subject to that, one-time licences are final sale and non-refundable. Guardrails subscriptions can be cancelled at any time and are refunded pro-rata for the unused portion of the current billing period. Mandatory statutory consumer rights apply in full and are not affected by this Section. See the Refund Policy for details.

5. Cancellation

Persona and Apex are one-time purchases - nothing to cancel. Guardrails subscriptions can be cancelled at any time from your billing page; the cloud layer remains active until the end of the current billing period unless you request a pro-rata refund. Your licensed plugin (BUSL-1.1) and your local configuration files always remain yours.

6. Eligibility and Acceptable Use

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) and able to form a legally binding contract to use Clawmont. The service is intended for professional and business use and is not directed to children; we do not knowingly contract with or collect data from minors.

You agree not to use Clawmont to facilitate illegal activities, to attack or test systems you are not authorized to test, to attempt to reverse-engineer the cloud service, to circumvent license enforcement, or to abuse the API beyond reasonable usage limits. We may suspend access for violations (see Termination below).

Export controls and sanctions. Clawmont is security software and may be subject to export-control and economic-sanctions laws, including those of the European Union, the Republic of Lithuania, and the United States. You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions, and that you are not on any restricted-party or sanctions list. You agree not to export, re-export, or use Clawmont in violation of any applicable export-control or sanctions law.

7. No Security Guarantee

Clawmont is a defense-in-depth layer, not a guarantee of security. No security product can guarantee complete protection. Clawmont's detection is primarily pattern-based and is designed to detect and flag known attack patterns; some attacks - particularly novel or deliberately obfuscated ones - will not be detected or blocked. Detection results published anywhere (including this site) reflect testing against a specific internal adversarial corpus at a point in time; they are not a promise, warranty, or service level of any detection rate, uptime, or outcome.

You remain solely responsible for your own security posture, including least-privilege credentials, reviewing agent actions, backups, key rotation, and the decision to grant any AI agent access to any system or data. Clawmont supplements - and never replaces - those practices. See the full Security Disclaimer, which is incorporated into these terms.

8. Warranty Disclaimer

Clawmont and all related services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranty of any kind, express, implied, or statutory - including, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, error-free, or secure, or that it will detect, prevent, or block any particular threat, attack, data loss, or breach. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you; in that case they apply to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these terms excludes warranties or guarantees that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including the statutory legal guarantee of conformity available to EU/EEA consumers.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Clawmont and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, however caused and under any theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) - including, without limitation, damages arising from undetected or unblocked threats, security incidents, compromised systems or credentials, data loss or corruption, false positives, or service interruptions - even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you to the extent prohibited.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to Clawmont or these terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (including liability for intent or gross negligence, or for death or personal injury, where such limits are not permitted), and nothing affects mandatory statutory rights of EU/EEA consumers.

10. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Clawmont and its operator from and against any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use or misuse of Clawmont; (b) your violation of these terms or of applicable law; (c) the actions of AI agents, tools, or systems you operate, configure, or grant access to; or (d) your infringement of any third party's rights. This section does not apply to consumers where and to the extent such indemnification obligations are not enforceable under mandatory consumer-protection law.

11. Data Handling and Telemetry

The plugin runs locally. Your prompts, model responses, and code never leave your machine - Clawmont does not collect them. Optional anonymized telemetry is off by default (opt-in): if you enable it, the plugin sends only hashed event metadata (event type, severity bucket, module, plugin version, OS and architecture) - never message content, file paths, or code. Security alerts you configure for the Guardrails cloud add-on carry threat metadata (type, timestamp, severity, rule matched), encrypted at rest. Details in the Privacy Policy.

12. Termination

You can stop using Clawmont at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the cloud service, or revoke a license, if you materially breach these terms - for example by sharing or reselling license keys, redistributing the plugin, or abusing the service. Where practical we will warn you and give you a chance to fix the problem first. If we terminate without cause, we will refund the unused portion of any active subscription. The sections on warranties, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and data handling survive termination.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be communicated via email at least 30 days in advance. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of the Republic of Lithuania, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply. The courts of Lithuania have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms. Nothing in these terms waives or limits any statutory consumer right that cannot be waived under applicable law, including the mandatory rights of EU/EEA consumers.

15. General

If any provision of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full force, and the invalid provision is replaced by a valid one that comes as close as possible to its original intent. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign or transfer these terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or transfer of assets, without prejudice to your rights under them. Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and Security Disclaimer, form the entire agreement between you and us regarding Clawmont and supersede any prior understanding on the subject. Notices to us may be sent to [email protected]; notices to you may be sent to the email address associated with your account.
