Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 20, 2026  •  Last Updated: March 21, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Sci-pilot ("the Software", "the App"), you ("User", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install or use the Software.

Sci-pilot is developed and maintained by kingsaventure-byte ("Developer", "we", "us"). The Software is available at scipilot.app.

2. Description of Service

Sci-pilot is a desktop AI agent application built with Tauri for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The Software provides:

• A local interface for interacting with third-party Large Language Model (LLM) providers
• Tool integration via MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for filesystem access, shell commands, web search, code execution, browser automation, and third-party service integrations
• Sub-agent orchestration, team collaboration, workflow automation, and scheduling capabilities
• A local memory system with on-device vector embeddings
• Discord and Telegram bridge integrations for remote agent interaction
• A plugin/extension system

Sci-pilot does not operate its own AI models. All AI processing is performed by third-party providers using API keys that you supply.

3. Beta Software Disclaimer

Sci-pilot is currently in closed beta/development stage. By using the Software, you acknowledge and agree that:

• The Software may contain bugs, errors, and incomplete features
• The Software may be unstable and could cause data loss or unexpected behavior
• Features may be added, changed, or removed without prior notice
• The beta period may end at any time, and the Software may undergo significant changes before any general release
• No guarantee is made regarding uptime, availability, or continued development of the Software

You use beta software at your own risk. We strongly recommend maintaining backups of any important data on your system.

4. User Responsibilities

4.1 API Keys and Third-Party Services

• You are solely responsible for obtaining and managing your own API keys from third-party LLM providers (including but not limited to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, xAI, OpenRouter, Together, and Ollama)
• Sci-pilot does not proxy, intercept, or relay your API calls. All communication with LLM providers occurs directly between your machine and the provider's servers
• You are solely responsible for all costs, charges, and fees incurred through your use of third-party API keys
• You must comply with the terms of service and acceptable use policies of each third-party provider you use
• You are responsible for the security of your API keys. Sci-pilot stores API keys locally on your device and does not transmit them to any Sci-pilot-controlled servers

4.2 System Access and Permissions

• You are responsible for understanding and managing the permissions you grant to Sci-pilot
• The Software may request access to your filesystem, shell, network, and other system resources through its MCP server integrations
• You should review and understand what actions the Software can perform on your system before enabling specific tools or integrations

4.3 Account Security

• If you integrate Sci-pilot with third-party services (Discord, Telegram, GitHub, Gmail, etc.), you are responsible for the security of those connections and any actions performed through them

5. Autonomous Agent Risks

Sci-pilot includes autonomous and semi-autonomous agent capabilities. By using these features, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:

5.1 Tool Execution

• The Software can execute shell commands, run code (Python, JavaScript, Bash), read and write files, perform web searches, and interact with external services
• In autonomous mode, the agent may perform these actions without explicit per-action approval, depending on your configured autonomy level
• Actions performed by the agent are performed on your behalf and under your authority on your local machine

5.2 File System Access

• The Software may read, create, modify, or delete files on your system based on agent instructions
• While safety controls exist (autonomy levels, tool approval flows, directory restrictions), no automated system is infallible
• You should configure appropriate restrictions and review agent actions, especially when using higher autonomy levels

5.3 Heartbeat and Background Operation

• The heartbeat/cron system allows the agent to operate continuously or on a schedule, even when you are not actively monitoring it
• You are responsible for configuring appropriate constraints (quiet hours, task limits) and monitoring agent activity

5.4 Sub-Agents and Teams

• Sub-agents and team-based task execution may perform coordinated actions across multiple agent instances
• Each sub-agent inherits permissions from its configuration; you are responsible for reviewing these configurations

5.5 Disclaimer

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use Sci-pilot to:

• Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation
• Generate, distribute, or facilitate the creation of malware, viruses, or malicious code
• Harass, abuse, threaten, or harm others
• Infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others
• Engage in unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or data
• Generate spam, phishing content, or deceptive communications
• Create content that exploits or harms minors
• Circumvent or attempt to circumvent security measures of third-party services
• Use the autonomous agent capabilities to perform actions you would not be legally permitted to perform manually
• Violate the terms of service of any third-party LLM provider or integrated service

We reserve the right to define additional acceptable use guidelines as the Software evolves.
