Terms of Service

Effective November 8, 2026 · Last updated November 8, 2026

1. Agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and HBAI LLC (“HBAI”, “we”, “us”), the operator of ClauBack. They cover the ClauBack website at clauback.com (including your dashboard), the ClauBack API, the ClauBack Mac and iPhone apps, and the integrations ClauBack sets up in your AI coding tools (together, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service.

2. Who can use ClauBack

You must be at least 13 years old, or at least 16 in the European Economic Area and the UK, and able to agree to these terms. If you use ClauBack for an organization, you confirm you are allowed to accept these terms for it.

3. Your account and keys

• Give accurate sign-up information and keep your password private.
• Each connected tool gets its own ClauBack key. Treat keys like passwords: don’t share them, and remove a tool from your dashboard if a key may have leaked.
• You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us at privacy@clauback.com if you think someone else is using it.

4. What ClauBack does

ClauBack reads activity counts from the AI coding tools you connect (never your prompts or code), shows how your day is going through Pip, and offers boundaries such as a daily limit and a curfew.

• Connecting a tool changes that tool’s own settings on your computer. The ClauBack Mac app, or your AI agent following ClauBack’s setup, does this with your approval and keeps a backup of the original file. You can undo it by removing the tool in ClauBack and restoring the backup.
• Prompt catch is optional. When it is on and you are past your limit or curfew, ClauBack can stop a prompt from being sent until you send it again or take a night pass. It is designed to let prompts through if ClauBack can’t be reached, but it may not always behave as intended. You remain responsible for your work and deadlines. Turn prompt catch off in your boundaries whenever it doesn’t suit you.
• Counts, scores and reminders depend on what your tools report and may be incomplete, late or wrong.

5. Wellness, not medical care

ClauBack is a general wellness tool that encourages healthier habits around AI coding. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and its scores, patterns and reading suggestions are not medical advice. Talk to a qualified professional about your health. If you are in crisis in the US, call or text 988; in an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.

6. Other companies’ tools

ClauBack works with tools and services from other companies, such as Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), Antigravity and Google sign-in (Google), Cursor (Anysphere), Cline, and Apple’s platforms. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to your use of them, and we are not responsible for them. ClauBack is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Anysphere or Cline. Their names and trademarks belong to them and are used only to describe what ClauBack works with.

7. Acceptable use

Don’t use the Service to:

• break the law or anyone’s rights;
• access another person’s account or data, or share your keys or account with others;
• probe, scan or test the Service for vulnerabilities without our written permission, or bypass rate limits, authentication or other protections;
• overload, disrupt or attack the Service or the systems behind it;
• send the Service data that isn’t from your own tools, or that contains malware;
• copy, resell or reverse engineer the Service, except where the law allows it despite this limit.

Responsible security reports are welcome at privacy@clauback.com.

8. Fees

ClauBack is free to use today. If we introduce paid plans, we will describe the price and what it includes before you choose one, and you won’t be charged unless you sign up. Purchases made through the App Store are handled by Apple under Apple’s terms, including refunds.

9. Your information

Your settings, check-ins and activity counts are yours. You give us permission to store and process them only to run the Service for you, as our Privacy Policy describes. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

10. Our software and art

ClauBack, Pip, our art, apps and software belong to HBAI and its licensors. We give you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service under these terms. We keep all other rights.

11. Changes and availability

We are always improving ClauBack, so features may change or be removed, and some may be labelled as previews. The Service may sometimes be unavailable. We don’t promise any particular uptime.

12. Ending these terms

You can stop using ClauBack at any time and delete your account from your dashboard or the iPhone app. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the Service or other people at risk, and we will tell you unless the law or safety prevents it. Sections that by their nature should continue (such as 9, 10 and 13 to 19) survive.

13. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent the law allows, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service, prompt catch, reminders or notifications will be uninterrupted, timely, accurate or error-free.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, HBAI and its members, employees and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, work or goodwill, arising from or related to the Service. Our total liability for any claim about the Service is limited to the greater of fifty US dollars (US$50) or the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

15. Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against HBAI because of your misuse of the Service or your breach of these terms, you will cover the reasonable losses and costs that result, to the extent the law allows.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about the Service or these terms will be heard only in the state or federal courts located in St. Louis County, Missouri, and you and HBAI agree to their jurisdiction. Either of us may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court. If you live outside the United States, mandatory consumer protections of your home country still apply. Before filing a claim, please email us so we can try to resolve it informally.

17. Apple App Store terms

If you got a ClauBack app from Apple’s App Store, these terms also apply:

• These terms are between you and HBAI only, not Apple. HBAI, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content.
• Your license is to use the app on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as the App Store’s Usage Rules allow.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
• If the app fails to meet an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the fullest extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• HBAI, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims about the app, including product liability, failure to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection, privacy or similar claims, and claims that the app infringes someone’s intellectual property.
• You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must follow third-party terms that apply when you use the app.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will post changes here and update the date at the top, and we will tell you by email or in the apps before a significant change takes effect. If you keep using the Service after that, the new terms apply.

19. General

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and HBAI about the Service. If a part is unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a part isn’t a waiver. You may not transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of the business. Neither of us is responsible for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control. We may send you notices by email or in the apps.
