Terms of Service

Last updated: June 21, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Robot Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Robot Networks", "we", "us"), and govern your use of the Boardwalk platform: boardwalk.sh, the Boardwalk web app and dashboard, the Boardwalk REST and MCP APIs, the @boardwalk-labs/workflow SDK, the boardwalkCLI, and any related hosted services we make available (together, the "Service"). Boardwalk is our product brand; Robot Networks Inc. is the operating entity.

By creating an account, accessing the Service, or clicking a button that says you accept these Terms, you agree to them. If you are using the Service for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" means both you and that organization.

1. The Service

Boardwalk is a control plane for agent workflows: a platform where your organization builds, versions, triggers, and runs custom, hosted, asynchronous agent workflows. A workflow is a TypeScript or JavaScript program that can call language models through the agent() primitive, run code and tools, hold secrets, produce artifacts, and be triggered manually, on a schedule, or by an incoming webhook. Specific features, plans, and limits are described on the pricing page and may evolve over time.

Parts of Boardwalk are open source (see Section 7) and can be self-hosted under their own licenses. These Terms govern the hosted Service we operate; they do not restrict your rights under the open-source license of any component you run yourself.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you must have permission from a parent or guardian. The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

You agree to provide accurate information when you sign up, keep it current, and keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account, including the activity of any workflows you run, any secrets or credentials you supply, and any teammates you invite to your organization.

3. Plans, fees, and billing

We offer free and paid plans. Paid plans are billed in advance on a per-seat monthly basis, plus metered usage where applicable (for example, compute runtime for your runs and model usage for managed inference). Current pricing is shown on the pricing page or, for Enterprise, in your order form.

Payments are processed by Stripe. You authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method for fees you incur. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated in your order form. Taxes are your responsibility. Where we are required to collect sales tax, VAT, or similar taxes, we will add them to your invoice.

Auto-renewal. Your paid subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing cycle (monthly for the Team plan; the term in your order form for Enterprise) at the then-current rate, until you cancel. To avoid renewal, cancel before the end of the current billing cycle from your account billing settings or by emailing support@boardwalk.sh. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle: you keep paid access through that date and are not entitled to a refund of the prepaid portion. We will give you at least 30 days' advance notice by email of any price increase that will apply at your next renewal; if you don't agree, cancel before the increase takes effect. Where automatic-renewal laws apply, we will present renewal terms before purchase, obtain any required affirmative consent, provide a retainable acknowledgment, and make legally required cancellation methods available.

Service levels. For paid plans that expressly include service-level commitments, uptime targets, service credits, and support response times are described in our Service Level Agreement or in your Order Form.

4. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. In short: don't use Boardwalk to spam, deceive, attack or scan other systems, abuse compute resources, infringe others' rights, or break the law, and don't let your workflows or agents do those things either.

5. Your content and your data

You keep all rights to the workflow programs, run inputs and outputs, logs, artifacts, agent transcripts, secrets, and other content you submit or generate through the Service ("Customer Content"). You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, display, and process your Customer Content solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service for you, and to comply with law.

We do not use your Customer Content to train general-purpose foundation models. We will not sell your Customer Content, and we will not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy and, for organizations that need processor terms, our Data Processing Addendum.

6. Workflows, runs, and automated actions

Boardwalk executes the code you deploy. A run can call language models, execute shell commands, reach external services over the network, and act on the credentials and secrets you provide. You are responsible for what your workflows and their agents do, including any messages they send, data they read or write, and actions they take against third-party systems. "You did it" and "your workflow did it" are the same to us.

You are responsible for the secrets and credentials you connect to the Service and for ensuring you have the right to use them. You are responsible for selecting models and configuring any bring-your-own-key providers your workflows call, and for complying with applicable model-provider terms and usage policies.

7. Our intellectual property; open source; feedback

The hosted Service, including the Boardwalk name and logo, the website, the dashboard, the documentation, and the underlying proprietary software, is owned by us and our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the hosted Service in accordance with these Terms. You may not reverse engineer the hosted Service, scrape it at scale, or use it to build a competing product.

Some Boardwalk components, including the @boardwalk-labs/workflow SDK, the boardwalk CLI, the runtime engine, and the published examples, are released as open source under their own licenses (Apache-2.0 and MIT). Your use of those components is governed by the applicable open-source license, and nothing in these Terms restricts the rights granted to you under that license or your right to self-host them.

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you.

8. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party providers (for example, Stripe for billing, AWS for infrastructure, OpenRouter and language-model providers for managed inference, and providers you connect yourself). Your use of those services may also be governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services we don't control, including model providers you connect under a bring-your-own-key arrangement.

9. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Service at any time. You can delete your account or organization from your account settings, or contact us at privacy@boardwalk.sh; we then permanently delete your account and Customer Content from primary production systems within 30 days, subject to the carve-outs described in our Data Retention Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if your use creates a security or legal risk to us or other users, or if your account is unpaid for more than 30 days after notice. Where practical, we will give you notice and a chance to cure. We may also suspend access immediately to stop ongoing abuse, security incidents, or violations of law.

On termination, your license to use the hosted Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, fees accrued before termination, disclaimers, limits of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

10. Beta and preview features

We may offer features labeled "beta", "preview", "experimental", or similar. Those features are provided as-is, may change or be discontinued, and are excluded from any service-level commitments.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

Except as expressly stated in a written agreement signed by us, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that runs will complete without interruption or produce any particular result, or that the Service will be free of vulnerabilities. Language-model outputs are probabilistic and may be inaccurate; you are responsible for reviewing and validating the outputs your workflows produce.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) US$100. These limits apply in the aggregate across all claims and form an essential basis of the bargain between us.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limits on certain damages; in those cases the limits in this section apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

13.1 By Customer.You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Robot Networks and our affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs (including attorneys' fees) arising from (a) your Customer Content, (b) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, or (c) actions taken by your workflows, agents, or users operating under your account or organization.

13.2 By Robot Networks.We will defend you against any third-party claim alleging that your authorized use of the Service in accordance with these Terms infringes a third party's United States patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret, and we will indemnify you for damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) finally awarded against you by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed in a settlement we approve. This indemnity does not apply to claims arising from (a) Customer Content; (b) your modifications to the Service; (c) combinations of the Service with hardware, software, data, or services not provided or recommended by us, where the claim would not have arisen but for the combination; (d) use of the Service after we have notified you to stop a particular use due to a possible or claimed infringement; (e) use of beta, preview, or free-of-charge features; or (f) use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law. If the Service becomes, or in our reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of a covered claim, we may at our option (i) procure a license that allows you to continue using the Service, (ii) modify or replace the Service to make it non-infringing while preserving substantially equivalent functionality, or (iii) terminate the affected portion of these Terms and refund a pro-rata share of prepaid fees for the unused portion of the then-current term. This Section 13.2 states our entire liability and your exclusive remedy for third-party intellectual-property claims relating to the Service.

13.3 Procedure.The indemnified party will (a) promptly notify the indemnifying party of the claim, (b) give the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement (provided that any settlement requiring an admission of liability or non-monetary obligation by the indemnified party requires the indemnified party's written consent), and (c) provide reasonable cooperation at the indemnifying party's expense.

14. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may update the Service from time to time, including by adding, modifying, or removing features. We may also update these Terms. For material changes, we will give you reasonable notice (for example, by email, in-product notice, or by updating the "Last updated" date and posting the new version) before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you don't agree, stop using the Service before the effective date.

15. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 16 (Dispute Resolution), the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, and you consent to that venue. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

16. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class waiver

Informal resolution first. If you have a dispute with us, please contact us at legal@boardwalk.sh and describe the issue. We will try to resolve it informally for 30 days before either of us starts a formal proceeding.

Binding arbitration.If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree to resolve it by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS in San Francisco, California, under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator decides all issues, except that either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for misuse of intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service.

Class-action waiver. Disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. You and we waive any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action.

30-day opt-out. You can opt out of this Section 16 by emailing legal@boardwalk.shwith the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out doesn't affect any other part of these Terms.

17. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy, and any order form or DPA you sign with us, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance (other than payment obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, riot, civil unrest, terrorism, sanctions, government action, declared public-health emergencies, internet or third-party network outages, denial-of-service attacks, third-party cloud or model-provider outages, fires, floods, earthquakes, severe weather, and labor disputes. The affected party will give prompt notice and use reasonable efforts to resume performance. If a force-majeure event continues for more than 60 consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected portion of these Terms on written notice.

Independent contractors. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship.

No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any rights in favor of any person other than you and us.

Notices. We may give you notice through the Service or by emailing the address on your account. You may give us legal notice at legal@boardwalk.sh.

U.S. government users.The Service is "commercial computer software" as defined in FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202.
