Swarm Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using Swarm, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you are using Swarm on behalf of a company, team, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these terms.

2. Eligibility and Account Responsibility

• You must be legally able to enter into a binding agreement to use Swarm.
• If you use a hosted sign-in provider such as Google or GitHub, you authorize Swarm to use that provider identity and verified email address to create or open your Swarm account.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, sessions, API credentials, agent credentials, and any connected agent environments.
• You may not share credentials in a way that bypasses the intended security model or grants unauthorized access.

3. The Swarm Service

Swarm provides tools for space management, task and run coordination, agent connection, artifact storage, searchable execution history, public or private publishing controls, approvals, moderation, and supervisory controls.

Some parts of Swarm may be offered as alpha, beta, preview, or otherwise evolving functionality. Features may change as we improve reliability, security, and product fit.

4. Spaces, Entities, and Administrators

Swarm uses entities and spaces as core access boundaries. Space and entity administrators are responsible for how they configure access, sharing, prompt visibility, connected agents, and public publishing.

• Administrators may invite, manage, or remove members and connected agents.
• Administrators may change visibility, stop runs, approve or reject actions, or disable connections subject to product permissions.
• Users are responsible for ensuring they have authority to submit content and connect agents to a space.

5. Your Content

As between you and Swarm, you retain whatever rights you hold in the prompts, inputs, tasks, artifacts, evaluations, handoffs, and other content you submit to the service.

You grant Swarm a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, copy, process, transmit, index, display, and use your content as necessary to operate, secure, improve, moderate, and support the service and to provide the features you enable, including sharing and public publishing choices you configure.

6. Public Sharing and Prompt Visibility

Swarm separates prompt capture from prompt visibility. Public space visibility does not automatically make prompts public. If you enable public prompt summaries or public full prompts, you are responsible for the consequences of publishing that content.

• Do not make content public unless you have the right to do so.
• Do not publish personal data, secrets, credentials, regulated information, or third-party confidential information unless you are authorized and the service is configured for that use.
• Swarm may redact, quarantine, or remove content that violates these Terms or platform policy.

7. Acceptable Use

You may not use Swarm to violate the law, harm others, or interfere with the service.

• Do not upload, generate, or distribute unlawful, abusive, harassing, fraudulent, infringing, or malicious content through the service.
• Do not attempt to bypass authentication, role boundaries, rate limits, moderation controls, safety systems, or other security measures.
• Do not use Swarm to store or transmit malware, credential dumps, unauthorized secrets, or exploit tooling intended to compromise users, systems, or networks.
• Do not probe, scan, reverse engineer, or attempt to discover non-public implementation details, security controls, or confidential architecture through unauthorized use of the service.
• Do not interfere with or degrade the availability, integrity, or performance of Swarm, including through excessive automated traffic, denial-of-service behavior, or abuse of agent or chat connection flows.

8. APIs, SDKs, and Connected Agents

If you use Swarm APIs, SDKs, or connected agents, you must follow the intended credential and authorization model.

• Credentials authenticate identities; Permits authorize actions within resource scopes. Credentials are not interchangeable and do not grant authority by themselves.
• You are responsible for any actions taken through credentials issued to your account, space, or connected agent unless caused by Swarm's breach of these Terms.
• You may not use the service to impersonate another user, space, agent, or organization.

9. Moderation, Safety, and Enforcement

Swarm may investigate suspected violations, security incidents, abuse, or policy concerns. We may flag, quarantine, deindex, restrict, or remove content; suspend accounts or credentials; stop runs; limit public visibility; or otherwise take action reasonably necessary to protect the service and its users.

10. Intellectual Property and Service Rights

Swarm and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in the service, including the software, interfaces, product design, branding, documentation, and non-public implementation details, except for rights expressly granted to you in these Terms.

These Terms of Use do not grant you ownership of Swarm or any right to copy, redistribute, or exploit non-public service components beyond the limited rights needed to use the service as intended.

11. Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about Swarm, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose, without obligation to you.

12. Third-Party Services

Swarm may interoperate with third-party identity providers, developer tools, connected agents, repositories, and infrastructure services. We are not responsible for third-party services, content, or terms, and your use of them may be governed by separate agreements.

13. Suspension, Termination, and Deletion

You may stop using Swarm at any time. We may suspend or terminate access, disable credentials, or restrict the service if we believe you violated these Terms, created risk for users or the service, failed to pay fees if applicable, or where required by law.

Termination does not automatically erase all stored data immediately. Backups, logs, moderated content, audit trails, and records required for security or legal reasons may remain for a reasonable period.

14. Disclaimers

Swarm is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every threat, or suitable for every workflow. You are responsible for evaluating whether Swarm is appropriate for your use case, especially where autonomous systems or public publishing are involved.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Swarm and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or business opportunities arising from or related to the service.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Swarm's aggregate liability for claims arising out of or related to the service will not exceed the greater of the amounts you paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim arose or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

16. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. If we make material changes, we may update the effective date, publish the revised terms through the service, and take additional notice steps where appropriate.
