IsoKron Terms of Service

Effective date: [PENDING — set on launch] Last updated: 2026-05-09

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the IsoKron platform at isokron.ai (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Definitions

  • "IsoKron", "we", "us" — IsoKron, the operator of the Service.
  • "Customer", "you" — the individual or organization accessing the Service.
  • "Workspace" — your isolated tenant on the Service, identified by your authenticated organization.
  • "BYOK Key" — an upstream language-model provider API key you supply (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI) for IsoKron to invoke on your behalf during compilation.
  • "Compilation" — the end-to-end process by which IsoKron transforms a project declaration into a structured execution graph.
  • "Critic" — IsoKron's security egress filter that reviews every compilation before commit. The Critic is operated and paid for by IsoKron.
  • "Customer Content" — declarations, reference documents, customer review responses, and other material you submit through the Service.
  • "Output" — the structured artifacts (components, decisions, conventions, concepts, patterns, milestones, tickets, acceptance tests) the compiler produces from your Customer Content.

2. Eligibility and account

You must be at least 18 years old, capable of forming a binding contract, and not barred from receiving the Service under applicable law. If you accept these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

You are responsible for the security of your account credentials and for all activity under your Workspace, including invitations you extend to teammates.

3. The Service

3.1 What IsoKron does

IsoKron compiles natural-language project declarations into structured execution graphs through a multi-stage pipeline. The pipeline invokes upstream language-model providers using your BYOK Key. After the pipeline completes, the Critic reviews the compilation for security signals; if the Critic approves, the compilation is committed to your Workspace's knowledge base.

3.2 BYOK model

You are responsible for:

  • Procuring and maintaining valid API keys with the upstream language-model providers you select.
  • All charges, quota, and rate-limit consequences arising from IsoKron's invocation of your BYOK Key, in accordance with the upstream provider's billing and rate-limit policies.
  • Compliance with the upstream provider's terms of service.

IsoKron is responsible for:

  • Encrypting your BYOK Key at rest and zeroing it from memory after each invocation.
  • Operating and paying for the Critic, which uses an IsoKron-owned upstream credential.

3.3 Beta nature of the Service

The Service is in active development. Features may change without notice. Output quality depends on the quality of your declarations and the upstream language-model provider you select. IsoKron does not warrant that any particular Output is fit for a particular purpose, and you remain responsible for reviewing and validating Output before relying on it in production.

4. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service is subject to the Acceptable Use Policy at https://isokron.ai/legal/aup, which is incorporated by reference. Without limiting that Policy, you agree not to:

  1. Submit declarations or reference documents containing personal data of any individual without legal basis.
  2. Use the Service to develop, train, or improve a competing AI compilation product.
  3. Attempt to reverse-engineer, probe, or circumvent the Critic, the tenant isolation model, or any other security control.
  4. Attempt to access another Workspace, another customer's Output, or operator-internal systems.
  5. Use the Service for unlawful purposes, including but not limited to creating malware, conducting fraud, generating content that exploits or sexualizes minors, or building infrastructure for any prohibited activity under the AUP.
  6. Submit declarations designed to elicit prohibited Output (e.g., instructions for weapons of mass destruction, instructions to harm specific individuals, content infringing a third party's intellectual property).
  7. Use automated means to scrape, mirror, or aggregate Output beyond your own Workspace.

We may suspend or terminate your access for violations.

5. Customer Content and ownership

5.1 Ownership

You retain all rights, title, and interest in your Customer Content. We make no claim of ownership to declarations, reference documents, or any input you provide.

5.2 License grant to IsoKron

You grant IsoKron a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, process, and display your Customer Content solely as necessary to operate, secure, and improve the Service for you. This license terminates when you delete your Workspace, subject to retention requirements in the Privacy Policy.

5.3 Output ownership

You own the Output produced from your Customer Content. IsoKron makes no claim of ownership to the structured graph generated from your declaration. However, the Output may include patterns, structures, or guidance that resemble general knowledge; you are responsible for ensuring your use of the Output complies with applicable law and third-party rights.

5.4 Use of Customer Content for model training

IsoKron does not use your Customer Content or Output to train, fine-tune, or improve any machine-learning model. Upstream language-model providers may have their own training-on-customer-data policies; consult the provider's terms when configuring your BYOK Key.

6. Privacy and security

Our processing of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy at https://isokron.ai/legal/privacy. For Customers acting as data controllers and IsoKron acting as data processor, the Data Processing Agreement at https://isokron.ai/legal/dpa is incorporated into these Terms.

7. Service availability and suspension

We will make reasonable efforts to keep the Service available, but we do not commit to a specific uptime SLA in v1. We may temporarily suspend the Service for maintenance, security incidents, or to protect the integrity of the platform. We will provide reasonable notice of planned maintenance.

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if:

  • We have a reasonable basis to believe you have violated these Terms or the AUP.
  • The Critic produces a "rejected" verdict on a pattern of compilations indicating malicious intent.
  • Required by law, legal process, or governmental authority.
  • Continued use poses a security risk to IsoKron, other customers, or third parties.

8. Fees

The Service itself is offered without subscription fees in v1. You pay your upstream language-model providers directly for invocations made with your BYOK Key, under their billing terms. IsoKron pays for the Critic.

We may introduce paid tiers in the future. If we do, we will give you at least 30 days' advance notice and an opportunity to decline before any charge applies to your Workspace.

9. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to protect the other's Confidential Information using the same degree of care it uses for its own Confidential Information of similar sensitivity, and not less than reasonable care. "Confidential Information" includes Customer Content, IsoKron's non-public technical information, and the terms of any negotiated agreement, but does not include information that is publicly available, independently developed, or rightfully received from a third party without confidentiality obligation.

10. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold harmless IsoKron, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any third-party claim, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

  • Your Customer Content or your use of Output.
  • Your violation of these Terms or the AUP.
  • Your violation of applicable law.
  • Your violation of a third party's rights, including intellectual property and privacy rights.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ISOKRON DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. ISOKRON DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

LANGUAGE-MODEL OUTPUT CAN BE INCORRECT, INCOMPLETE, OR MISLEADING. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND VALIDATING ANY OUTPUT BEFORE ACTING ON IT.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

  • IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, OR LOSS OF DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE.
  • ISOKRON'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE IN ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). The parties acknowledge that this limitation is reasonable given the BYOK model under which IsoKron does not collect subscription fees.

The above limitations do not apply to: (a) your indemnification obligations under Section 10; (b) breach of confidentiality under Section 9; (c) liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

13. Term and termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Service. You may terminate at any time by deleting your Workspace from the dashboard.

We may terminate these Terms or your access for the reasons in Section 7 or upon 30 days' written notice for any reason. Upon termination:

  • Your right to use the Service ends immediately.
  • We will delete your Customer Content and Output in accordance with the retention policy in the Privacy Policy.
  • Sections that by their nature should survive (Sections 5.1, 5.3, 9-12, 14) survive termination.

14. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of [PENDING — operator to choose: Delaware / California / state of incorporation], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [PENDING — operator to choose venue], and each party consents to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

[Optional alternative: arbitration clause — operator to decide whether to include and confer with counsel on enforceability and class-action waiver implications.]

15. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, AUP, and (if applicable) DPA, constitute the entire agreement between you and IsoKron regarding the Service.
  • Modifications. We may modify these Terms by posting a revised version. For material changes affecting your rights or obligations, we will give you at least 30 days' advance notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
  • No waiver. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a corporate transaction.
  • Notices. Notices to you may be sent to the email associated with your Workspace. Notices to IsoKron must be sent to legal@isokron.ai.
  • Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, internet outages, or governmental action.
