Draft — pending Hayden's review/legal sign-off
These draft terms incorporate the Acceptable Use Policy.
Who provides Shade
Shade Browser MCP is provided by Atlas Pty Ltd, ABN 88 694 558 248, Australia. In these terms, Atlas, we, us, and our mean Atlas Pty Ltd; you means the customer who creates or uses a Shade account.
These terms are a launch-readiness draft and should be reviewed before production use.
Subscriptions, trials, and renewal
Shade plans are monthly subscriptions sold by persistent identity slot quota. A paid plan may begin with a 14-day card-on-file trial where Stripe checkout offers one.
Unless cancelled, subscriptions auto-renew monthly and Stripe charges the payment method attached to the customer account. You can cancel anytime through the customer billing portal. Portal cancellation keeps access until the end of the current paid or trial period unless Atlas suspends access for misuse, payment risk, or platform risk.
Refund policy TODO
[Hayden: decide refund policy before launch. Keep this section consistent with Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees and do not imply that legally required remedies are unavailable.]
Acceptable use and customer responsibility
You are responsible for your account, API keys, agents, prompts, credentials, traffic, target selection, wallet actions, and all downstream effects of your automation.
You must comply with the Shade Acceptable Use Policy, target sites' Terms of Service, contracts, rate limits, and all applicable law. Shade is infrastructure for lawful, authorized browser automation only.
Service operation
Shade is provided as is and as available. Browser automation depends on third-party websites, networks, browsers, identity state, payment providers, and hosting infrastructure, so Atlas does not promise uninterrupted access, compatibility with every site, or that a target site will permit your automation.
Suspension and enforcement
Atlas may suspend or terminate access, revoke API keys, limit slots, preserve evidence, and block traffic where we believe an account is unpaid, compromised, abusive, unlawful, creates platform risk, or violates the AUP.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Atlas excludes indirect, consequential, special, punitive, and loss-of-profit damages arising from Shade. Where liability cannot be excluded, Atlas limits its liability to resupplying the service or the amount paid for the affected billing period, subject to non-excludable rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Governing law
These draft terms use Western Australia as the default governing-law state and the courts of that state and Australia as the forum.
[Hayden: confirm governing-law state matches the registered office before launch.]
