--- title: Terms of use for an account — instibrain description: The agreement covering an instibrain account: permitted use, who owns your content, availability, termination, liability, and governing law. url: https://instibrain.ai/terms updated: 2026-11-04 site: https://instibrain.ai/llms.txt --- # The agreement that covers an account. instibrain is not on sale and there is no self-serve signup. We create the first account for a named person at a company, who invites their colleagues, and these terms cover every account and nothing else. There is no subscription, no billing, no trial, and no service level agreement. effective 4 November 2026 · WebWork AI, Inc. · Delaware law ## 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, this website, and the system: instibrain's own rules and tool pages, read by every AI and copied to every computer, with the scripts those pages carry. A tool a space keeps runs on your computer only at the version a manager of that space approved. - Account: the sign-in you hold, whether we made it for you or a person in your organisation invited you. - Brain: every space a person reads, each a store of pages belonging to your account. - Page: one unit of memory in a brain, holding a path and a body. - Open space: a space of a brain we store as readable markdown. - Sealed space: a space of a brain we store as ciphertext, encrypted on your computer under a key we never receive. - Your content: everything you or your AIs put into a brain, in either kind of space. 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 the first account for an organisation, and its owners and admins invite the rest by mail. 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 AI 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 computer running the sync client signs each request with its own key, and an AI writes with a bearer credential, which is not signed. For an open space we record which credential made each write and the id of the person it belongs to; for a sealed space we keep no history, and so no such record. ## 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 computers and the AIs 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 kind of space, and you choose it for each space. - Open space. 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 AI holding no key reach a brain at all. - Sealed space. The body and the path are encrypted on your computer 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 computer 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 space for a page. In a sealed space our server reads no text, so it warns you about nothing there; the check on your computer still refuses a secret of a known shape before it is saved. In an open space our server checks the new text of every write against a fixed set of save rules, and refuses a secret of a known shape, a card, IBAN, passport, or social security number, a server login outside its place, a line about a person's pay, assessment, or health where the space's owner has not allowed it, or, in a space others read, a link into a sealed space. That check matches patterns; it does not read your content for its meaning, and it clears nothing. ## 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 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. While an account is paused, nobody signs in to it and its computers and agents are refused, but nothing in it is ended or removed. 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 page of the spaces it syncs 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 an open space that is readable markdown. For a sealed space 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. ## 14.
