Legal

Terms of service.

Last updated: 1 April 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between Lightsprint, Inc. (“Lightsprint,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the individual or entity that signs up for, accesses, or uses the Lightsprint product workbench, website, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account, clicking “I agree,” or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other entity (the “Customer”), you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity.

Self-serve and enterprise customers

These Terms apply to all customers, including teams that sign up self-serve and pay by card and enterprise customers that purchase under an order form, master subscription agreement (“MSA”), or other written agreement signed by an authorized Lightsprint representative. Where a signed MSA or order form exists, that agreement controls in case of conflict with these Terms; otherwise, these Terms govern.

2. Accounts and Workspaces

Account creation

You must provide accurate information when you sign up, keep credentials confidential, and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account. You are responsible for all activity on your account and within your workspace.

Workspace administrators

A workspace administrator may invite, remove, and manage members, connect repositories and integrations, set policies, view audit logs, and access content created in the workspace. If you join a workspace controlled by an organization (for example your employer), that organization administers your access and may control your use of the Service.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. The Service is not intended for personal, household, or consumer use.

3. Plans, Billing, and Trials

Subscriptions and credits

The Service is offered on subscription plans that may include a monthly credit allowance for agent planning, generation, and execution. Plan tiers, prices, and included credits are described on our pricing page or in your order form.

Self-serve billing

Self-serve subscriptions renew automatically each billing period until canceled. Fees are billed in advance, are non-refundable except where required by law, and are exclusive of taxes. You may cancel renewal at any time from the application; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.

Enterprise billing

Enterprise customers are invoiced under their order form on the payment terms set out there. Unless the order form states otherwise, fees are due within thirty (30) days of invoice and renew for successive terms equal to the initial subscription term.

Free trials and credits

We may offer free trials, promotional credits, or beta access. These may be modified or discontinued at any time and are provided “as is” without warranties. Unused credits do not roll over unless your plan or order form expressly says so, and have no cash value.

Price changes

We may change pricing or plan features for self-serve plans with at least thirty (30) days’ notice before your next renewal. Pricing in a signed order form is fixed for the term of that order.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to permit any user to:

  • Use the Service to build, train, or improve a product that competes with Lightsprint, or to benchmark the Service without our prior written consent.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to derive the source code or models that power the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service or circumvent security, authentication, or rate-limiting controls.
  • Use the Service to generate or distribute malware, send spam, infringe intellectual property, violate privacy or export laws, or engage in any unlawful, harassing, or abusive conduct.
  • Submit content or run agent tasks against repositories or systems you do not have authorization to access or modify.
  • Use the Service to make automated decisions about people that produce legal or similarly significant effects without human oversight.

We may, with reasonable notice when feasible, suspend or limit use that we believe violates these Terms or threatens the security, integrity, or performance of the Service.

5. Customer Data and Privacy

“Customer Data” means information that you or your users submit to or generate in the Service, including source code, repository content, prompts, plans, previews, generated diffs, pull requests, comments, configuration, and metadata.

Ownership

As between you and Lightsprint, you own all rights, title, and interest in Customer Data. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, display, and create derivative works of Customer Data solely to provide, secure, and improve the Service for your workspace, and as otherwise permitted by these Terms.

No training on your code

We do not use your private Customer Data to train foundation AI models for use outside your workspace, and our agreements with AI subprocessors require the same.

Privacy

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Data Processing Addendum (DPA)

Where you act as a controller of personal data and Lightsprint processes that data as a processor, our standard Data Processing Addendum (including EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK IDTA where applicable) is incorporated into these Terms when you accept it during self-serve checkout, sign it under your order form, or request a copy at privacy@lightsprint.ai.

Subprocessors

We use a limited set of third-party subprocessors (for example cloud hosting, AI model providers, sandboxing, analytics, payments, and support tooling) to deliver the Service. A current list is available on request and changes are communicated as described in our DPA.

6. Security

We maintain a written information security program with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Customer Data. Controls include encryption in transit, scoped repository access via GitHub App permissions, ephemeral isolated sandboxes for agent execution, least-privilege access for our personnel, secrets handling controls, and continuous logging and monitoring.

Lightsprint’s SOC 2 Type II audit is in progress. Enterprise customers may request our current security overview, trust center access, penetration test summary, and (where applicable) VPC deployment options at security@lightsprint.ai.

Incident notification

We will notify affected customers of confirmed security incidents involving their Customer Data without undue delay and provide reasonable cooperation with their investigation and notification obligations.

7. Third-Party Services and Repositories

The Service connects to third-party tools you authorize, such as source control providers (for example GitHub), AI model providers, identity providers, and CI/CD systems. Your use of those services is governed by their terms, and we are not responsible for their availability, content, or behavior. You are responsible for maintaining the rights and permissions needed to grant Lightsprint access.

8. AI-Generated Output

The Service uses AI to generate plans, code suggestions, previews, and pull requests (“Output”). Subject to your compliance with these Terms, as between you and Lightsprint, you own the Output your workspace produces. Output may be similar or identical to output produced for other customers; we do not grant exclusivity over Output.

AI Output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or insecure. You are responsible for reviewing Output, exercising human judgment, and testing changes before merging or deploying to production. Do not rely on Output as legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice.

9. Intellectual Property and Feedback

Lightsprint and its licensors retain all rights in the Service, including software, models, documentation, branding, and all improvements and derivative works. No rights are granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise except as expressly set out in these Terms.

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant Lightsprint a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose without restriction or compensation, provided we do not identify you as the source.

10. Service Levels and Support

Standard self-serve plans include access to community and email support during business hours and are provided without a formal uptime commitment. Enterprise plans may include a written service level agreement, named support contacts, and onboarding services as described in the applicable order form.

11. Confidentiality

“Confidential Information” means non-public information disclosed by one party to the other that is identified as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential. Customer Data is your Confidential Information. The Service, pricing, roadmap, and technical information about the Service are Lightsprint’s Confidential Information.

Each party will use Confidential Information of the other only to perform under these Terms and protect it with at least the same care it uses for its own confidential information of a similar nature, and no less than a reasonable standard of care.

12. Suspension and Termination

Termination for convenience

You may cancel a self-serve subscription at any time from the application; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Enterprise subscriptions terminate as set out in the order form.

Termination for cause

Either party may terminate for material breach not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice. We may suspend access immediately for security risks, non-payment, or violations of the Acceptable Use section.

Effect of termination

On termination, your right to use the Service ends and we may delete Customer Data after a reasonable wind-down period. Enterprise customers may request a data export in a commonly used format during the wind-down window described in their order form. Sections that by their nature should survive (including IP, confidentiality, indemnity, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution) survive termination.

13. Warranties and Disclaimers

Each party represents that it has the authority to enter into these Terms. Lightsprint warrants that the Service will materially conform to its then-current documentation. Your exclusive remedy for a breach of this warranty is for us to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the non-conformity, or, if we cannot do so within a reasonable time, terminate the affected subscription and refund pre-paid, unused fees for the affected period.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED, THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

14. Indemnification

By Lightsprint. We will defend you against any third-party claim alleging that your authorized use of the Service infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, and pay damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded against you or agreed in settlement. If the Service becomes, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of such a claim, we may at our option modify or replace it, procure a license, or terminate the affected subscription and refund pre-paid, unused fees.

By Customer. You will defend Lightsprint against any third-party claim arising from (a) Customer Data, (b) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, including the Acceptable Use section, or (c) your combination of the Service with materials or systems we did not provide, and pay damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded or agreed in settlement.

Indemnification is conditioned on prompt written notice of the claim, sole control of the defense by the indemnifying party (subject to the indemnified party’s right to participate with its own counsel), and reasonable cooperation by the indemnified party.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

EXCEPT FOR (A) A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, (B) YOUR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, (C) BREACHES OF THE ACCEPTABLE USE OR CONFIDENTIALITY SECTIONS, OR (D) FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, EACH PARTY’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU TO LIGHTSPRINT FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

16. Compliance and Export

You will comply with all laws applicable to your use of the Service, including export control, sanctions, anti-bribery, and data protection laws. You represent that you and your end users are not on any restricted party list and are not located in a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, for any dispute that is not subject to arbitration under a separately signed agreement.

Any claim must be brought within one (1) year after it accrues, or it is permanently barred. You and Lightsprint each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action to the fullest extent permitted by law.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (for example by email or in-product). Changes apply prospectively from the effective date. If you do not agree to a change, your remedy is to stop using the Service before the change takes effect.

19. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any order form, MSA, DPA, and policies referenced here, are the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject.

Order of precedence. In case of conflict, a signed MSA controls, then the applicable order form, then these Terms, then policies referenced in these Terms.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent, except to a successor in a merger or sale of substantially all assets, provided the assignee is not a competitor of Lightsprint.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

Notices. Legal notices to Lightsprint must be sent to legal@lightsprint.ai. We may send notices to the email address associated with your account or workspace administrator.

Independent contractors. The parties are independent contractors, and these Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.
