Terms of Service

Service description

Wholestack provides software tools for intent-first development, AI-assisted code generation, ShipGate verification, truthpack grounding, and optional cloud orchestration and deployment. Wholestack is a developer tool: it generates software artifacts at your direction. We are not a party to, and have no responsibility for, any application, product, business, or transaction you build, deploy, or operate using output from the service. Features may change; we will not remove paid entitlements you have already purchased without reasonable notice where required by law.

Accounts & metering

Cloud AI and verification features consume wallet meters (build credits, ShipGate runs, proof bundles) as described on pricing. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your credentials secure. Free-tier quotas reset on the schedule shown in-product; add-ons and paid plans are billed through Stripe. Credits are a metering unit, not money or stored value: they have no cash value, are non-transferable, and may not be redeemed, exchanged, or resold. Unused credits expire per the published plan terms. We may adjust quotas, rate limits, and metering rules to protect the service.

AI-generated output

The service generates code, configuration, specifications, designs, and other content using machine-learning models. AI output is probabilistic and may be incomplete, insecure, non-compliant, or wrong, even when verification passes. You are solely responsible for reviewing, testing, and validating all generated output before relying on it, distributing it, or deploying it to any environment — especially production environments, environments handling personal data, payments, or funds, and any blockchain network. Similar or identical output may be generated for other users; we do not guarantee that output is unique, original, or free of third-party rights claims.

Smart contracts, blockchain & crypto assets

The service can generate, verify, and (at your direction) deploy smart contracts and related web3 software. You acknowledge and agree that:

• Verification is not an audit. ShipGate proofs, formal verification (including Halmos), static analysis (including Slither), tests, and certificates check only the specific properties they state, under stated assumptions. They are not a security audit, do not cover all vulnerability classes, and do not guarantee a contract is safe, correct, or fit for holding value. Obtain an independent professional audit before deploying any contract that holds or controls assets.
• On-chain actions are irreversible. Deployed contracts and submitted transactions generally cannot be modified, recalled, or reversed. You bear all risk of loss from deployment, including bugs, exploits, mis-configuration, lost keys, wrong networks, and gas costs.
• You control keys and deployments. You are solely responsible for wallets, private keys, signer infrastructure, network selection (testnet vs mainnet), and authorizing any deployment. We never take custody of your crypto assets and are not a wallet, exchange, broker, custodian, or money transmitter.
• No financial, investment, or legal advice. Nothing in the service is an offer, solicitation, or recommendation regarding any token, asset, or transaction. You are solely responsible for the legal and regulatory status of anything you build — including securities, commodities, money-transmission, AML/KYC, sanctions, and tax obligations in every relevant jurisdiction. Do not use the service to create tokens or applications that are unlawful where you or your users operate.
• Third-party networks. Blockchain networks, RPC providers, block explorers, and toolchains are operated by third parties. We are not responsible for their availability, forks, reorgs, fee changes, or behavior.

Generated applications & deployments

When you build, preview, download, or deploy an application through the service (including managed deploys and previews), that application is yours. You are the operator and controller of it, and you are solely responsible for:

• Its security, maintenance, monitoring, backups, and uptime.
• Compliance with all laws applicable to it and its users — including privacy and data-protection law (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), consumer-protection law, accessibility, payments rules (including PCI obligations if it processes cards), and your own privacy policy and terms for your end users.
• All content, data, and conduct of your end users within your application.
• Credentials and third-party API keys (Stripe, RPC providers, email, etc.) you supply or wire into it.

Preview environments are ephemeral, may be reclaimed at any time, and must not be used for production traffic or real user data. Managed deploys are provided on a best-effort basis without uptime SLAs unless separately agreed in writing. We may suspend or remove deployments that violate these terms, harm the platform, or create legal risk.

Acceptable use

• Do not attempt to bypass metering, authentication, watermarks, or rate limits.
• Do not use the service to create or deploy malware, exploits targeting systems you are not authorized to test, phishing or drainer contracts, rug pulls, honeypots, scams, spam, or otherwise unlawful or deceptive applications, contracts, or tokens.
• Do not scrape, resell, or overload the service beyond documented API limits.
• Do not upload content you lack rights to, or that infringes third-party IP.
• Do not use output to train competing code-generation models where prohibited by our model providers' terms.

We may investigate violations and suspend or terminate accounts that breach this section, with or without notice, and may preserve or disclose information where required by law.

Your content & intellectual property

You retain ownership of code, prompts, specifications, and other content you submit, and — as between you and us — of the output generated for you, subject to third-party rights and our model providers' terms. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, and display your content solely to provide, secure, and improve the service. Free-tier output may carry attribution or watermarks that you may not remove while on the free tier. The Wholestack platform, including ShipGate, the ISL language tooling, and all related software and branding, remains our property. If you believe content on the service infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@wholestack.ai with the information required under the DMCA, and we will respond accordingly.

Fees, billing & refunds

Paid plans and add-ons are billed in advance through Stripe and renew automatically until canceled. You can cancel any time, effective at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law, fees and consumed credits are non-refundable, including for partially used periods, builds that fail verification (a NO_SHIP verdict is the product working as intended), or dissatisfaction with AI output. We may change prices with notice effective at your next renewal. You are responsible for applicable taxes.

Disclaimers

AI-generated output may be incorrect. ShipGate, VibeCheck, proofs, certificates, and audits reduce risk but do not guarantee correctness, security, or production readiness of any output, application, or smart contract. THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR — WITHOUT LIMITATION — ANY LOSS OF CRYPTOCURRENCY, TOKENS, NFTS, OR OTHER DIGITAL ASSETS, LOSS ARISING FROM SMART CONTRACT BUGS OR EXPLOITS, BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTIONS, KEY COMPROMISE, OR THE OPERATION OF APPLICATIONS YOU BUILD OR DEPLOY WITH THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND (B) US$100, EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Wholestack, its affiliates, and their officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) applications, smart contracts, tokens, or other software you build, deploy, distribute, or operate using the service; (b) your content or your end users; (c) your violation of these terms or of any law or third-party right; or (d) any financial, regulatory, or tax claim relating to crypto assets or transactions connected to your use of the service.

Termination

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately for breach of these terms, suspected fraud or abuse, legal requirement, or risk to the platform or other users. Upon termination, your license to use the service ends; sections that by their nature survive (ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) survive. We may delete your stored content after a reasonable period following termination — export anything you need first.

Governing law & disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, USA, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Colorado, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court. To the extent permitted by law, each party waives the right to participate in a class action. Any claim must be brought within one year of the events giving rise to it.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced via the website or email, and continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version.
