The short version: Standard Code is for business and professional use. You pay for lines of service. Each line runs one coding session at a time, and usage on that session is unlimited. We don’t meter tokens or charge overages. You can cancel whenever you want. Use Standard Code to build software as hard as you like. You’re restricted from reselling or sharing lines, and from building a service that runs on our compute. Your code and everything Standard Code writes for you belong to you, and we never train on your data. AI can be wrong, so you decide what ships. All fees are non-refundable. Disputes go to individual arbitration, and you can opt out within 30 days.
1. The agreement
These terms are a contract between you and FormKit Inc., doing business as Standard Agents (“we,” “us”) covering Standard Code™: the CLI, web console, desktop and mobile apps, and the hosted Standard Code service. By creating an account or using Standard Code, you agree to them. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data.
Business use only. You represent that you use Standard Code for business or professional purposes, and that you do not use it for personal, family, or household purposes.
If you use Standard Code for a company or other organization, you agree for that organization and confirm that you have the authority to do so. You must be at least 18 years old.
We operate Standard Code from the United States, and it is directed to customers in the United States.
Standard Agents is a separate product with its own terms. Your sign-in account is shared between the two.
2. Lines of service
Standard Code is sold as lines of service, like a phone plan. Each line powers one session at a time — an open session occupies its line until it ends. Usage on a line is unlimited: no token quotas, no metering, no overages — usage is bounded by concurrency and time, not tokens. Saved threads don’t occupy lines, and neither do the subagents supporting your session.
Add or remove lines anytime; unusually large plans may require contacting us.
3. Acceptable use
Unlimited usage is for you, building software — interactively or through goals and automation you supervise, on projects you own or are authorized to work on. Capabilities like asset generation, research subagents, and the programmable API are included to support that work.
What breaks the deal:
- Reselling or sharing lines. A line is for one person (one seat, on team plans) — don’t split, pool, rent, or resell it.
- Operating a service on top of us. Standard Code isn’t backend infrastructure for third parties — no generation APIs, content farms, or products whose features are secretly our compute.
- Bulk generation unrelated to development. Generating assets for your projects is included; running the agent as a media-production pipeline is not.
- Defeating the model. Don’t automate around session concurrency to simulate extra lines, or deliberately exhaust the underlying model providers.
- Illegal or harmful use. No malware, no attacking systems you aren’t authorized to test, nothing unlawful.
We don’t throttle normal development work — that’s the product. If usage looks like the list above rather than someone building software, we may rate-limit while we investigate, and we reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate this section.
4. Your code and content
Your code, prompts, conversations, and files are yours. You give us only the license needed to operate the service — storing your workspace, processing it with model providers, and showing it back to you. We never train on your data and never sell it, as covered in the Privacy Policy.
The output Standard Code produces for you is yours, to the fullest extent we can grant it. Review it — AI-generated code can be wrong, insecure, or unfit for your purpose, and you decide what ships.
5. Billing
You’re billed monthly per line, at the pricing shown at checkout and on your account page. Added lines are prorated; Stripe processes payments. Cancel anytime from your account — future charges stop and service runs through what you’ve paid for.
No refunds. All fees are non-refundable, except where the law requires a refund. This applies when you cancel and when we suspend or end your account, with or without cause.
6. The service
We work to keep Standard Code always online but don’t promise uninterrupted availability; when a model provider fails, sessions fail over automatically. We give no uptime commitment and no service credits, and downtime gives no right to a refund. Features may change over time — if a change materially reduces what your plan includes, we’ll tell you first.
7. Disclaimers and liability
Standard Code, the software, and all model and agent output are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express, implied, and statutory, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
AI output. We give no warranty that the output of any model or agent is accurate, complete, lawful, or fit for any purpose. You are solely responsible for your agents’ actions and output, and for every use of them.
To the maximum extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim is capped at the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or US $50. We are not liable to you for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data.
The cap and the exclusions protect us only. They do not limit what you owe us: your duty to pay, your responsibility under Section 8, and your liability for breach of Section 3. We give you no indemnity of any kind. Nothing here limits liability that can’t legally be limited.
8. Your responsibility for claims
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless FormKit Inc. and its officers, employees, and contractors against any third-party claim, and the related damages, penalties, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, that arises from:
- your agents and anything they do or produce;
- your code and content, including a claim that it infringes someone’s rights or was collected or used unlawfully; or
- your breach of these terms or of the law.
We will tell you about a claim promptly. We may take over the defense at your cost if you do not defend it properly, and you may not settle a claim in a way that binds us without our written consent.
9. Suspension and termination
Cancel anytime. We may suspend or end any account at any time and for any reason, with no notice required.
We give no refund of any kind when we suspend or end an account, with or without cause.
When an account ends you can delete your data or ask us to — see the Privacy Policy. Sections 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10 continue after an account ends.
10. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration agreement in this section.
Talk to us first. Before either of us starts a formal claim, the one with the claim sends the other a written notice that describes the claim and the relief sought. Send yours to admin@standardagents.ai. We send ours to the email address on your account. We both then have 60 days to settle. Any limitation period for the claim is paused during those 60 days. Neither of us may start an arbitration or a court case until they end.
Binding individual arbitration. Any dispute related to these terms or to Standard Code that is not settled in that time will be resolved by binding arbitration, and not in court, except as this section says. The American Arbitration Association administers the arbitration: under its Consumer Arbitration Rules if you are an individual, and under its Commercial Arbitration Rules if you are a business. One arbitrator decides. The seat is Charlottesville, Virginia, and hearings may be held remotely. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief that a court could. A court with jurisdiction may enter judgment on the award.
No class or representative actions. You and we will bring claims only on an individual basis. Neither of us will bring or join a class, collective, or representative action or arbitration against the other, and the arbitrator may not combine the claims of more than one person, except as the next paragraph allows. If this waiver is held unenforceable for a claim, that claim is severed and goes to court under the venue paragraph below. It never goes to class arbitration.
Batching. If the same or coordinated counsel files 25 or more similar demands against us, the demands proceed in batches of 25. Each batch has one arbitrator and one set of fees. The batches proceed one after another, and the remaining demands wait until their batch starts. Limitation periods for the waiting demands are paused.
Small claims court. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court in place of arbitration.
Claims we may bring in court. We may go to court to collect unpaid fees, to enforce Section 3, to protect our intellectual property, and to seek an injunction.
Your right to opt out. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing admin@standardagents.ai from your account email within 30 days after you create your account. If your account existed when this section took effect, you may opt out within 30 days after we give notice of it under Section 11. If you opt out, the rest of these terms still applies, and disputes go to court under the next paragraph.
Court venue. For every dispute that is outside arbitration, the state or federal courts located in or serving Charlottesville, Virginia have exclusive jurisdiction, and you and we consent to jurisdiction and venue there.
Jury trial waiver. To the maximum extent the law allows, you and we each waive the right to a trial by jury in any dispute related to these terms or Standard Code.
Time limit for claims. You must start any claim related to these terms or Standard Code within one year after the claim arises. A claim that is not started within that year is permanently barred.
Our costs. If we prevail in an action to collect fees or to enforce Section 3, you will pay our reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
11. Changes to these terms
We may change these terms at any time. We give notice by posting the updated terms and by showing them to you in the product when you open the web console or sign in after a change. We may also send an email, and we have no duty to. You agree to the updated terms when you accept them on that screen, or when you use Standard Code after their effective date. If you do not agree, stop using Standard Code and cancel before they take effect.
