3. Account Terms
3.1 Registration
To use the Service, you must create an account by providing accurate, current, and complete information. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. You agree to update your account information to keep it accurate and current.
3.2 Account Security

You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We will not be liable for any loss arising from unauthorized use of your account.

If you invite team members to your organization, you are responsible for their compliance with these Terms. Organization administrators can manage roles and permissions for team members. You are responsible for removing access for individuals who should no longer have it.
3.4 API Keys
API keys grant programmatic access to the Service and carry the same privileges as your account. You must treat API keys as confidential credentials. Compromised keys should be revoked immediately via the dashboard.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party rights
- Process, store, or transmit content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or related systems
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service (except as expressly permitted by applicable law)
- Use the Service to develop a competing product or service

- Use the Service to generate, store, or transmit content that exploits minors
- Resell, relicense, or redistribute access to the Service — whether directly or through a wrapper product, proxy, middleware, reseller integration, or SDK fork — without a signed reseller agreement with us
- Operate a service or product that mirrors, clones, or imitates the EvalGuard user experience, API surface, or brand presentation in a manner likely to cause confusion about the origin or affiliation of the service
- Register domain names, npm/PyPI/Maven/Go module names, or social media handles that are confusingly similar to "EvalGuard," "evalguard.ai," or any EvalGuard trademark, including typographical variations (e.g. evalguards, eval-guard, evaIguard, evalguardai) and TLD swaps (e.g. evalguard.com, evalguard.io, evalguard.co)
- Use our trademarks, logos, or brand identity in a manner that implies endorsement, affiliation, partnership, or compatibility without written permission
- Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices in the Service or in any open-source component distributed by us
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these restrictions. For serious violations, we may terminate access immediately without notice, pursue injunctive relief, and recover our legal fees. Violations of the trademark and anti-clone provisions above may also result in DMCA takedowns, domain-dispute proceedings (UDRP), and trademark infringement actions.
4A. Open-Source SDK Licensing
Our client libraries — published to PyPI (evalguardai), Go modules (github.com/EvalGuardAi/evalguard-go), npm (@evalguard/cli,@evalguard/sdk, @evalguard/core), and other public package registries — are licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. You may use, copy, modify, and redistribute these client libraries under that license.
The Apache 2.0 grant applies only to the client libraries we explicitly publish with an Apache 2.0 LICENSE file. It does NOT extend to: (a) the hosted EvalGuard Service itself, (b) our server-side engine, scorers, attack plugins, ML models, DLP dictionaries, firewall logic, compliance mappings, or any other proprietary backend components, or (c) our trademarks, logos, and brand identity. These remain our exclusive proprietary software and intellectual property, governed by these Terms and accessible only via the Service.
Per Section 6 of the Apache License, you may not use the "EvalGuard" name or logo in any forked or derivative distribution of our client libraries to suggest endorsement, affiliation, or a drop-in replacement for the Service. You must either rebrand your fork or clearly label it as an unofficial, community-maintained fork with no affiliation to EvalGuard, Inc.
5. Data Handling

You retain all rights, title, and interest in your data ("Customer Data"). Customer Data includes all content, prompts, model outputs, evaluation results, datasets, and configurations that you submit to or generate through the Service.

We process Customer Data solely to provide, maintain, and improve the Service. We do not use Customer Data to train machine learning models or for any purpose unrelated to delivering the Service to you. We do not sell Customer Data to third parties.

We will provide at least 48 hours' advance notice for scheduled maintenance that may affect Service availability. Maintenance windows are typically scheduled during off-peak hours (Saturday/Sunday 02:00 - 06:00 UTC).
6.3 Service Credits
If we fail to meet the 99.9% uptime commitment in a calendar month, affected paid customers may request service credits.
