The agreement that covers an account.
instibrain is not on sale and there is no self-serve signup. We create each account by hand for a named person at a company, and these terms cover that account and nothing else. There is no subscription, no billing, no trial, and no service level agreement.
1. Definitions
- We, us, our: WebWork AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which builds and operates instibrain.
- You: the person holding an account, and the organisation on whose behalf you hold it.
- Service: the instibrain brain service, the account plane at
my.instibrain.ai, the sync client, and this website. - Account: the credentials we create for you by hand.
- Brain: the store of nodes belonging to your account.
- Node: one unit of memory in a brain, holding a path and a body.
- Open area: the part of a brain we store as readable markdown.
- Secure area: the part of a brain we store as ciphertext, encrypted on your device under a key we never receive.
- Your content: everything you or your agents put into a brain, in either area.
Using the Service means you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.
2. Account registration and security
There is no self-registration. We create each account by hand, and we may decline to create one, or close one, at our discretion.
Keep your credentials to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account, including what an agent you connect does with it. Tell us at security@webwork.ai as soon as you think your account or a device key has been exposed.
One thing you should know, because it changes what account security means here: a write to a brain is authorised by a bearer credential and is not signed. We record which credential made a write, never which agent. The security page says the same: reader control is signed; write control is not.
3. Permitted use
Use the Service for your own institutional memory, lawfully. You may connect any MCP client you control.
Do not:
- Use another person's account, or share yours.
- Attack the Service, or attempt to reach a brain that is not yours.
- Probe, scan, or load-test the Service without asking us first. We will usually say yes—see responsible disclosure.
- Reverse engineer the hosted Service, except where the law says you may.
- Upload anything unlawful, or anything you have no right to put there.
- Resell the Service or offer it to third parties as your own.
4. Your content and who owns it
You own your content. We claim no ownership of it, and an account we close does not change that.
You grant us the narrow licence we need to run the Service for you: to store your content, transmit it between your devices and the agents you connect, and process it as the Service requires. That licence exists to operate the Service and for nothing else. We do not use your content to train models, we do not sell it, and we do not share it with anyone except as section 11 allows.
What that licence can reach depends on the area, and you choose the area per page.
- Open area. We store the path and the body as markdown, and our server reads them. It indexes and searches the body, and keeps previous versions. This is deliberate: it is what lets an agent holding no key reach a brain at all.
- Secure area. The body and the path are encrypted on your device before they reach us, under a key we never receive. What we hold is ciphertext, and we cannot recover it for you. If you lose every device and every recovery bundle, that content is gone, and there is nothing we can do from our side.
You are responsible for choosing the right area for a page. We cannot warn you that something sensitive is in the open area, because in the secure area we cannot see anything, and in the open area we do not inspect your content.
5. Intellectual property
The Service—its software, its protocol, its design, this website, and the instibrain name and marks—belongs to us. These terms grant you the right to use the Service, not ownership of any part of it.
The wire contract is published on how it works so you can write your own client. Doing so is welcome and is not a breach of this section.
6. Availability
The Service is in development. It may be unavailable, and it may change or break without notice. We do not promise uptime and we offer no service level agreement or service credits, because nothing is sold.
We may change the Service, including in ways that are not backward compatible. Where a change alters the wire contract, the versioning rules on how it works apply.
7. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and ask us to close your account.
We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, that endangers the Service or another account, or where the law requires it. We may also stop creating accounts, or end the Service itself, and we will give you reasonable notice and an opportunity to export your content where we can.
Exporting is the part you should not have to trust us for. The sync client materializes every node your keys open as plain markdown in a folder you already hold, so a copy of your brain lives on your machine while you use the Service.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
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.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error free, or secure against every attack. The security page states what the encryption does and does not cover, and the limits listed there are part of this disclaimer rather than an exception to it.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, or lost or unrecoverable content.
Our total liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to one hundred United States dollars. Nothing is charged for an account, so there are no fees to measure a cap against.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Indemnification
You will defend and indemnify us against claims, damages, and costs arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your breach of these terms.
11. Confidentiality and disclosure to others
We disclose your content to a third party only where the law compels us. Where we are permitted to tell you, we will.
A legal demand reaches only what we hold. For the open area that is readable markdown. For the secure area it is ciphertext and a key we have never had, so complying produces bytes nobody can read, and we will say so.
12. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.
If a dispute arises, write to legal@webwork.ai first and we will try in good faith to resolve it with you. A dispute that cannot be resolved that way is subject to the courts of the State of Delaware, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. Either of us may seek injunctive relief for misuse of intellectual property or a threat to the Service.
13. General provisions
- Entire agreement. These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about the Service.
- Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stands.
- No waiver. Not enforcing a provision once does not waive it.
- Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our written consent. We may assign them to a successor of our business.
- Force majeure. Neither of us is liable for a failure caused by events beyond reasonable control.
- Changes. We may update these terms. We will change the effective date above and, for a material change, tell account holders by email. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept it.
