Effective Date: May 25, 2026
Last Updated: May 25, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Apotrope enterprise Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, website, APIs, SDKs, command-line tools, documentation, and related services (collectively, the "Services") provided by Apotrope ("Apotrope," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using the Services, signing an order form referencing these Terms, or clicking "I accept," you ("Customer" or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

1. The Services

1.2 Beta Services

Portions of the Services may be designated as "beta," "preview," "early access," or similar ("Beta Services"). Beta Services are provided as-is, may be changed or discontinued at any time, and are not subject to any service level agreement. Apotrope may use feedback from Beta Services to improve the Services.

1.3 Updates

We may modify, update, or discontinue features of the Services from time to time. We will not materially decrease the core functionality of a paid Service during a paid subscription term without notice.

You may permit your employees, contractors, and agents ("Authorized Users") to use the Services on your behalf, subject to these Terms. You are responsible for your Authorized Users' compliance with these Terms.

2.3 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and able to form a binding contract to use the Services. The Services are intended for business use.

3. Customer Data and Integrations

3.3 Third-Party Integrations

The Services allow Customer to connect third-party tools (e.g., Notion, Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, Salesforce). Customer's use of those tools is governed by the applicable third-party terms. Apotrope is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or behavior of third-party tools, and connecting them is at Customer's discretion and risk.

3.4 Customer Responsibilities

Customer is responsible for:

  • the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of Customer Data;
  • obtaining all rights and consents necessary for Apotrope to process Customer Data;
  • configuring access controls, permissions, and policies appropriately;
  • the actions of agents Customer builds and deploys through the Services;
  • complying with applicable laws when using the Services.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to permit any Authorized User or agent to:

  • use the Services to violate any law or third-party right;
  • upload or transmit malware, exploits, or other malicious code;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or any non-public area, system, or data;
  • probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services except as expressly permitted in writing;
  • interfere with or disrupt the Services, including by overwhelming infrastructure or circumventing rate limits;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code of the Services, except to the extent applicable law prohibits this restriction;
  • resell, sublicense, or provide the Services to a third party except as expressly permitted;
  • use the Services to build a competing product or benchmark for publication without our prior written consent;
  • remove or obscure any proprietary notices in the Services;
  • use the Services to process special categories of personal data (e.g., health, biometric) unless expressly contemplated by your agreement with us;
  • use the Services in connection with high-risk activities where failure could lead to death, personal injury, or environmental damage.

We may suspend access immediately and without notice to address material violations, security incidents, or legal requirements.

  • Sections that by their nature should survive (including 3.2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13) will survive.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Apotrope IP

The Services, including all software, documentation, designs, and improvements, are owned by Apotrope and its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services during the subscription term and in accordance with these Terms.

Apotrope may collect and use aggregated, de-identified data derived from use of the Services to operate, improve, and develop the Services and related offerings.

Each party may disclose non-public information ("Confidential Information") to the other in connection with the Services. The receiving party will (a) use Confidential Information only to exercise rights and perform obligations under these Terms, and (b) protect it with at least the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information, and no less than reasonable care. Confidential Information does not include information that is publicly available, independently developed, or rightfully received from a third party without confidentiality obligations. Either party may disclose Confidential Information as required by law, with notice to the other party where legally permitted.

9. Privacy and Security

Our processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, our Data Processing Agreement, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference for customers subject to the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or other applicable data protection laws.

10. Warranties and Disclaimers

10.1 Limited Warranty

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, APOTROPE 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.

11.1 By Apotrope

Apotrope will defend Customer against any third-party claim that the Services, as provided by Apotrope and used in accordance with these Terms, infringe a third party's intellectual property right, and will pay damages finally awarded or amounts in a settlement approved by Apotrope. If the Services are or, in Apotrope's opinion, may become subject to such a claim, Apotrope may (a) modify the Services to be non-infringing, (b) obtain a license, or (c) terminate the affected Services and refund any prepaid fees for the unused portion. Apotrope has no obligation for claims arising from (i) Customer Data, (ii) modifications not made by Apotrope, (iii) combinations with non-Apotrope products, or (iv) use not in accordance with the documentation.

11.2 By Customer

Customer will defend Apotrope against any third-party claim arising from (a) Customer Data, (b) Customer's agents and their actions, (c) Customer's breach of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), or (d) Customer's violation of applicable law, and will pay damages finally awarded or amounts in a settlement approved by Customer.

11.3 Process

The indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party, give it sole control of the defense and settlement, and provide reasonable cooperation.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

(a) NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

(b) EACH PARTY'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO APOTROPE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO (i) A PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, (ii) BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, (iii) CUSTOMER'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, (iv) A PARTY'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (v) LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

13. General

Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet outages, or governmental action.

13.3 Assignment
