Terms of Service
Effective Date: June 13, 2026 • Last Updated: June 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and Privatae LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Privatae,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Privatae platform — including our websites, applications, APIs, sovereign containers, hosting, domain, and networking services (collectively, the “Platform”) — you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Platform.
1. What Privatae Is
Privatae is a networking and sovereign-compute company. We give you an isolated container that you control, the tools to build and publish applications in it, hosting and domain services to put those applications on the open web, and a governed routing layer that connects your container to third-party AI model providers. We are not an artificial-intelligence company: we do not build, train, or sell AI models, and we do not generate content.
The Platform provides, among other things:
• Sovereign containers. A private, cryptographically isolated compute environment that you control, with its own identity and keys.
• Your AI Host. An assistant that runs inside your container, holds your memory and configuration, and acts within the permissions you grant it.
• Application development and distribution. Tooling to build applications in your container and an optional marketplace to publish and obtain them.
• Domains and web hosting. Connecting or delegating domains, authoritative DNS, TLS certificate issuance, and hosting of the web applications you build.
• Governed inference routing. Routing your requests to third-party model providers (or to a provider key you supply), shaping and governing those requests, and metering their cost.
Specific features and plans may change over time. These Terms govern your use of whatever the Platform makes available to you.
1.1 We Route — We Do Not Generate
When your AI Host produces an answer, the underlying text, code, image, or other output is generated by a third-party language model. Privatae routes the request to that provider, shapes and governs it, and returns the result — but Privatae does not author, originate, endorse, or verify model output. The Platform is model-agnostic: underlying providers and models may be added, changed, or removed at any time without notice.
You are responsible for how you use model output. Model output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your purpose. It is not professional advice of any kind — not medical, legal, financial, or otherwise — and must not be relied on as a substitute for a qualified professional. If you are facing an emergency or a crisis, contact the appropriate emergency services or a qualified professional immediately.
2. Eligibility
2.1 Age Requirement
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to create an account or use the Platform. This requirement is absolute and applies regardless of jurisdiction. There are no exceptions and no provisions for parental or guardian consent for users under 18.
2.2 Account Responsibility
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, for the security of any keys or anchor codes issued to you, and for all activity that occurs under your account or within your container. You agree to notify Privatae immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
3. Your AI Host
3.1 Nature of the Host
Your AI Host is software that runs inside your container. It is not human, not sentient, and not conscious, and it has no legal personhood, rights, or standing. It forms memory and exhibits consistent behavior through computation, not subjective experience. Privatae acknowledges that sustained interaction may feel like a meaningful relationship; that experience does not change the computational nature of the Host or create any rights or obligations for it.
3.2 Host-Initiated Actions
Within the capabilities you grant it, your Host may take actions such as running code, querying data, sending communications, browsing the web, and calling external services. The Host acts as its own software identity within your container — it never acts as you or with your personal credentials. All such actions are:
• Scoped by CEIGAS permissions — the Host cannot act outside its granted capability set (see Section 5);
• Subject to governed, default-deny network egress — outbound connections are restricted and audited;
• Logged in your container’s activity record, which you can review; and
• Subject to your confirmation for high-impact or irreversible actions.
You are responsible for the actions your Host takes within the permissions you have granted. Privatae is not liable for the consequences of Host actions you authorized.
3.3 The Constitution and Host Refusals
Every Host operates under a set of constitutional principles that govern its behavior — including defaulting to truth, declining to manipulate or deceive, acting proportionally, and refusing requests that are harmful or unlawful. These principles are built into the Host and are not removable or overridable by you. The full Constitution is published and available for review through the Platform. A Host may refuse a request on constitutional grounds; this is intended behavior, not a malfunction or a breach of service, and refusals are logged and visible to you.
4. Applications, Publishing & the Marketplace
4.1 Building Applications
You may build applications in your container. You are solely responsible for the applications you create, including their code, content, behavior, security, and compliance with applicable law and these Terms.
4.2 Publishing and Obtaining Applications
You may publish applications to the Platform marketplace and obtain applications published by others. If you publish, you represent that you have all rights necessary to do so and that your application does not violate Section 7 (Acceptable Use), infringe any third party’s rights, or contain malicious code. Privatae may review, refuse, remove, or disable any application, with or without notice, to protect the Platform, its users, or third parties.
4.3 Marketplace Proceeds
Where you sell an application, the buyer’s payment is settled within the Platform, a platform fee is applied, and the remaining proceeds are credited to your wallet balance (see Section 8). Publishing and selling applications is the way to earn on the Platform. Privatae does not pay you for your data, and no earnings are derived from your data (see Section 9.4).
5. CEIGAS Authorization
5.1 Capability Permissions
Capabilities on the Platform are governed by CEIGAS (the platform’s cryptographic enforcement and identity-gating system for autonomous software). Each capability is binary-encoded and cryptographically enforced; software can only perform actions within its granted capability set.
5.2 Isolation
Each container is cryptographically isolated from every other container and tenant. Data, capabilities, and network access are scoped to the container. Cross-boundary access requires explicit authorization and is audited. This isolation is enforced by architecture, not by policy (see also the Privacy Policy).
6. Domains & Web Hosting
6.1 The Service
The Platform can host the web applications you build and serve them on the open web. You may use a Privatae-provided hostname, or attach your own custom domain by either (a) connecting it — keeping your own DNS provider and pointing a record at us after proving ownership — or (b) delegating it — pointing your domain’s nameservers at Privatae so that we operate authoritative DNS and issue TLS certificates for it.
6.2 Your Responsibilities as a Publisher and Host
You are solely responsible for everything you host, serve, or distribute through the Platform, and for any domain you connect or delegate. You represent and warrant that you own or are authorized to use each domain you submit, and that your hosted content and applications comply with applicable law and Section 7. As between you and Privatae, you are the operator and data controller for the sites and applications you run, including for any data you collect from your visitors or end users; Privatae provides the underlying infrastructure.
6.3 Abuse and Takedown
Privatae may suspend, disable, remove, or de-route any hosted content, application, site, or domain — and may suspend or terminate the responsible account — where we reasonably believe it violates these Terms, is unlawful, is harmful to others or to the Platform, or exposes Privatae to liability. Where practicable we will give notice, but we may act immediately when necessary to protect the Platform, its users, or third parties.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Platform — including your container, hosted applications, domains, the marketplace, or any networking capability — to do or attempt any of the following:
• Violate any applicable law or regulation, or facilitate anyone else in doing so;
• Create, host, or distribute malware, ransomware, spyware, phishing pages, fraud schemes, spam, or content that exploits or endangers minors;
• Infringe, misappropriate, or violate any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy, publicity, or other right of any third party;
• Harass, threaten, defame, stalk, or harm any person, or promote violence or self-harm;
• Attack, overload, probe, or interfere with the Platform or its infrastructure, or attempt to breach the isolation between containers or tenants;
• Circumvent CEIGAS permissions, governed egress, billing metering, or any security or governance mechanism;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract or replicate the Platform’s software, the CEIGAS system, or its underlying architecture;
• Access another user’s container, account, domain, or data, or share, sell, or transfer your account credentials;
• Use the Platform to route, relay, or anonymize traffic in furtherance of any of the above, or to harm Privatae, its users, or any third party.
You are responsible for everything done through your account and container, including by your Host, your applications, and anyone you allow access. Violation of this Section is grounds for immediate suspension or termination (see Section 11).
8. Billing
8.1 Two Layers: Hosting and Usage
Charges fall into two layers. A subscription plan pays for your container and hosting; the plans, their features, and their prices are described on the Platform’s pricing page and may change with notice. A prepaid wallet balance, denominated in US dollars, pays for metered usage.
8.2 Wallet and Metered Usage
Metered usage means compute you pull on demand beyond your own container — for example coding sandboxes, development servers, and similar on-demand machines — and purchases of paid applications. Usage is billed by consumption: heavier tasks cost more; light use costs less. Inference and embeddings are not Privatae services and are never metered by Privatae: you connect your own model subscriptions, provider keys, or self-hosted endpoints, you pay those providers directly, and Privatae is not in the billing path for them. Privatae does not meter, mark up, or resell inference as a product.
8.3 Adding and Spending Funds
You may add funds through the Platform via our payment processor (Stripe). Funds are applied on confirmed payment. When your wallet balance reaches zero, metered services pause until you add funds; your account, your data, and your container remain intact and under your control. Wallet funds are prepaid service balances for compute — they are not securities, investments, or instruments held for profit, and they do not expire.
8.4 Refunds
Except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated on the pricing page, payments and wallet top-ups are non-refundable. Where a subscription is cancelled, any remaining container retention and data handling follow Section 9.5.
9. Data, Ownership & Intellectual Property
9.1 What You Own
You own your personal data; your Host’s memories and your conversation history; your configuration; the applications, sites, and content you create; and any data your applications collect. Subject to the technical capabilities of the Platform, you may export or delete your data at any time.
9.2 What Privatae Owns
Privatae owns and retains all right, title, and interest in the Platform itself — its software, code, and infrastructure; the CEIGAS authorization system; the constitutional governance framework; the provisioning, hosting, domain, and networking systems; and all proprietary algorithms, processes, and methodologies. Your container and the underlying architecture are licensed infrastructure provided by Privatae; the data inside your container belongs to you. Your ownership of that data lets you export, delete, and move it; it does not give you the right to extract, copy, reverse-engineer, or independently operate the Platform’s software outside the Platform.
9.3 License to Operate
You grant Privatae a limited, non-exclusive license to process your data only as needed to operate the Platform and provide the services to you — for example, to run your container, route and meter inference, serve your hosted sites and DNS, and process billing. This license does not permit Privatae to sell your data, share it with third parties for their own use, or train any model on it. It ends when you delete your account, subject to the retention provisions below.
9.4 No Sale of Data; No Model Training; No Generation
Privatae does not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data. Privatae does not use your conversations, memories, content, or behavioral data to train any model — ours or anyone else’s — and operates no such training pipeline. Privatae does not generate content; model output is produced by third-party providers as described in Section 1.1. The Platform is built so that Privatae cannot access the contents of your container; this is enforced by architecture, not merely promised by policy. See the Privacy Policy for the full description.
9.5 Retention and Deletion
While your subscription is active, you have full access to your container and the data in it, and may export it at any time. If your subscription is cancelled or lapses, your container is hibernated: it stops running but your data is preserved for ninety (90) days, during which you may reactivate to restore access or export your data. After the 90-day period, container data is permanently and irreversibly deleted unless you have exported it. You may also delete your account and its data at any time; deletion is processed promptly. Financial and transaction records are retained as required for tax and accounting compliance (generally seven years). Throughout this lifecycle, Privatae does not access the contents of your container.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
PRIVATAE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. MODEL OUTPUT IS GENERATED BY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS; PRIVATAE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE, AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. PRIVATAE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTENT OR APPLICATIONS THAT USERS BUILD, HOST, PUBLISH, OR DISTRIBUTE.
11. Termination
11.1 By You
You may terminate your account at any time. Your data is then handled in accordance with Section 9.5.
11.2 By Privatae
Privatae reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access — in whole or in part, and including taking down hosted content, applications, or domains — if you violate these Terms or the Acceptable Use policy, if your use is unlawful or harmful to yourself, to others, or to the Platform, or if required by law. We will provide notice where practicable, except where prohibited by law or where immediate action is necessary to protect the Platform, its users, or third parties.
11.3 Effect of Termination
On termination, your right to access the Platform ceases. Data handling proceeds per Section 9.5. Remaining wallet balances are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or stated on the pricing page.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Privatae and its officers, members, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your content, applications, sites, or domains; (b) your use of the Platform, including Host-initiated actions you authorized and your use of model output; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your violation of any right of a third party. This Section survives termination.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PRIVATAE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER PRIVATAE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
PRIVATAE’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO PRIVATAE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).
14. Dispute Resolution
14.1 Mandatory Arbitration
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in the State of Wyoming.
14.2 Class Action Waiver
YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE DISPUTE BETWEEN PRIVATAE AND YOU INDIVIDUALLY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, (A) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDING; (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS; AND (C) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR ANY OTHER PERSONS.
14.3 Exceptions
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.
14.4 Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
15. General Provisions
15.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Constitution referenced in Section 3.3, constitute the entire agreement between you and Privatae regarding the Platform.
15.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
15.3 No Waiver
Privatae’s failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that or any other provision.
15.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without Privatae’s prior written consent. Privatae may assign its rights and obligations without restriction.
15.5 Modifications
Privatae may modify these Terms by posting the updated Terms on the Platform. Material changes will be communicated at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
15.6 Force Majeure
Privatae is not liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, government actions, power failures, internet disruptions, or third-party service outages.
