Scaffold Terms of Service

Last updated: 6 November 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Scaffold LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Scaffold", "we", "us"). They cover Scaffold's server at api.scaffold-ai.tech, the Scaffold connector, the Scaffold plugins, the Scaffold for Mac app, and the website at scaffold-ai.tech (together, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

What Scaffold does

Scaffold turns recurring work you ask your AI agent for into automations: scripts for the routine steps, your agent for the steps that need judgment. Scaffold plans automations, checks them against shared run evidence, saves them to your Scaffold account, runs them on your computer, and records how each run went.

Automations run on your own computer, through the Scaffold plugin and a scheduler you choose. Scaffold's server stores your account, saved automations and run records; it doesn't run your automations.

Your account

  • You need to be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, to use the Service.
  • You sign in with Google or a Scaffold key. Keep your keys private: anyone with a key can act on your account. If a computer's key might be exposed, unlink that computer in Scaffold for Mac, under Settings, or email support@scaffold-ai.tech.
  • You're responsible for what happens under your account.

Your automations are your responsibility

Scaffold shows you every command an automation will run before anything is scheduled, and an automation won't run commands you haven't approved. Because automations run on your computer, with your permissions and your credentials:

  • You decide what runs. Review the commands, scripts and schedule before you approve them, and again when an automation changes.
  • You're responsible for what your automations do, including the services, websites and data they access. Follow those services' terms, rate limits and laws, and only automate access you're allowed to have.
  • Runs can fail, run late or not run. They need your computer awake, the plugin installed, and, for some steps, your agent app or CLI signed in. A service can change, block or rate-limit an automation. Scaffold tries to repair scripts and tells you what it changed, but it doesn't guarantee any run.
  • Keep copies of anything important. Don't rely on an automation as your only record of data or as your only way to meet a deadline.

AI agents and their output

Steps that need judgment are performed by your AI agent (for example Claude, ChatGPT or Codex) under that provider's own terms, using your account with them. AI output can be wrong, incomplete or inappropriate. Review it before you rely on it or act on it. Scaffold isn't responsible for third-party agents or their output.

Acceptable use

Don't use the Service to:

  • break the law, or infringe or misappropriate anyone's rights;
  • access systems, accounts or data you aren't authorised to access, or get around a service's access controls, CAPTCHAs or rate limits;
  • send spam, malware, or harmful or deceptive content;
  • interfere with, overload, probe or attack the Service, or try to access other people's accounts or data;
  • share, sell or resell access to your account or keys; or
  • submit false run outcomes or field notes, or try to manipulate shared run evidence.

We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaks these rules.

Your content

You keep ownership of your automations: your requests, plans, scripts and settings ("Your Content"). You give us permission to store, copy, process and display Your Content only as needed to provide and improve the Service for you.

Shared run outcomes. If "Share run outcomes" is on (it is by default), each run reports structure only: the kind of step, the service and operation it used, whether it worked, and the kind of error. Never inputs, outputs or file contents. You give us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use these outcomes, combined with other people's and without identifying you, to improve Scaffold and to show shared evidence to other users. You can turn sharing off in the plugin's settings at any time.

Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we can use them without owing you anything.

Plans and payments

Scaffold's Free plan costs nothing. Pro is $9 a month, billed in advance through our payment processor, Stripe, and it renews each month until you cancel. An account that has never subscribed can try Pro free for 7 days without a card. If you add a card before the trial ends, Pro continues and the first month is charged when the trial ends; if you don't, the trial ends and you're back on Free, with nothing charged. You can subscribe, change your card, see your invoices and cancel from your account page. Enterprise is priced as shown on our website or as agreed with you in writing. Prices don't include sales tax, which we add where the law requires it.

No refunds. Payments are final and non-refundable, except where the law requires a refund. You can cancel a paid plan at any time: it won't renew, and it stays active until the end of the period you've already paid for.

Our software and the Scaffold name

The Service, including the plugins, server, website and their code, belongs to us and is protected by law. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Scaffold plugins and Service for your own automations while you follow these terms. Don't copy, modify, redistribute, sell, or reverse-engineer them except where the law allows it, and don't use the Scaffold name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse you.

Third-party services

The Service works with services we don't control, including Google (sign-in), your AI agent's provider, and the services your automations call. Your use of them is governed by their terms and privacy policies, and we're not responsible for them.

Ending your use

You can stop using Scaffold at any time. You can delete an automation by asking your agent, and delete your whole account and its data at https://api.scaffold-ai.tech/account. See the privacy policy for what's deleted and what stays on your computer.

We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if we're required to by law, or if we stop offering the Service. If we stop offering the Service, we'll try to give you reasonable notice so you can keep copies of Your Content.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the Service, any automation, script or repair, or any AI output will be accurate, uninterrupted, secure or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows:

  • We won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from the Service or these terms, even if we were told they were possible.
  • Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service or these terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50.

Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of your automations, Your Content, or your breach of these terms or the law, you'll cover our reasonable costs and losses from that claim, including reasonable legal fees.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top, and if a change is significant we'll give reasonable notice, for example on the website or by email. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, the new terms apply.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you and we consent to those courts' jurisdiction.

General

If part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a right isn't a waiver of it. You can't transfer these terms without our consent; we can transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
