Welcome to Orkka. Orkka is operated by [Legal Entity Name] (“Orkka, ” “we,” “us, ” or “our”), a company registered in [Jurisdiction] with its registered office at [Registered Address]. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Orkka websites, applications, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).
By clicking “Sign up,” checking a box that references these Terms, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Acceptance of these terms
You must affirmatively accept these Terms to create an account. During sign-up you will be asked to confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Service after any update to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, as described in Section 16.
2. The Orkka service
Orkka is a task-management platform in which humans act as project managers and named, specialized AI agents act as the development team. Through the Service you can, among other things:
- Create projects and connect source-code repositories (for “unmanaged” projects) or have Orkka provision and host a repository and deployment for you (for “managed” projects);
- Create tasks that flow through a configurable pipeline in which AI agents plan, write code, run tests, review changes, and optionally deploy;
- Configure your AI agents (names, roles, models, and custom instructions), and review, approve, or reject their output; and
- Collaborate with other members of your organization.
The Service relies on large-language-model providers and other third-party infrastructure to function (see Section 8). Features may change, and some features are experimental.
3. Eligibility & accounts
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and legally able to enter into contracts to use the Service. Account authentication is handled by our identity provider, Clerk. You are responsible for:
- Providing accurate account information and keeping it up to date;
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and any API keys issued to you; and
- All activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you.
Notify us promptly at [security@orkka.com] if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
4. Organizations & members
The first user to sign up for an organization becomes its original root owner and owns the organization and its data. Owners may invite additional members and grant them fine-grained permissions. If you are invited to an organization, the owner controls that organization’s configuration, billing, and data, and may add, suspend, or remove your access. You agree that the organization owner — not Orkka — is responsible for managing member access and for the actions taken within the organization.
5. Your content & repositories
“Customer Content” means everything you or your members submit to or connect with the Service, including source code, repositories, task descriptions, briefs, documents, design assets, messages, and configuration. As between you and Orkka, you retain all right, title, and interest in your Customer Content.
You grant Orkka a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, transmit, display, analyze, and process Customer Content solely to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service for you — including creating repository worktrees, sending relevant context to AI model providers to fulfill your tasks, and generating outputs. This license ends when Customer Content is deleted from the Service, except for residual backups retained for a limited period and anonymized or aggregated data as described in the Privacy Policy.
When you connect a repository (for example via our GitHub App), you authorize Orkka to access, read, and — where you direct it — write to and open pull requests against that repository using scoped access tokens. You represent that you have all rights and permissions necessary to grant this access and to allow AI agents to operate on the connected repositories.
6. AI agents & generated output
Orkka uses AI agents to generate code, tests, plans, documents, designs, and other output (“Output”). Important things to understand about Output:
- Ownership. As between you and Orkka, and to the extent permitted by law and by our model providers’ terms, we assign to you all of our right, title, and interest (if any) in Output generated for you. You are responsible for the Output once it is produced.
- No guarantee of correctness. Output is generated by probabilistic models and may be inaccurate, insecure, non-functional, infringing, or otherwise unsuitable. Output is not a substitute for professional review. You are solely responsible for reviewing, testing, and approving Output before merging, deploying, or otherwise relying on it.
- Similar output. AI models may generate output that is similar to output generated for other users. Orkka makes no representation that Output is unique to you, and other users may receive similar Output.
- Autonomy & controls. Agents can act autonomously within the pipeline and controls you configure (including auto-merge or auto-deploy, if you enable them). You are responsible for the configuration you choose and for supervising agent activity on your repositories and infrastructure.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to, and not to permit any member or agent to:
- Violate any law or regulation, or infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party;
- Upload or generate malware, or use the Service to develop, host, or distribute malicious code, or to attack, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to any system or network;
- Use the Service to build weapons, facilitate serious harm, or engage in activities that violate the usage policies of our model providers;
- Reverse engineer, resell, or provide unauthorized access to the Service, or use it to build a competing product;
- Circumvent usage limits or billing, misuse free credits, or share credentials; or
- Interfere with the integrity or performance of the Service, or probe or scan it except as expressly authorized in writing.
We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate access for conduct we reasonably believe violates these Terms or harms the Service, other users, or third parties.
8. Third-party services
The Service integrates and depends on third-party services, including without limitation Anthropic (AI models), Clerk (authentication), Stripe (payments), Microsoft Azure (hosting and database), GitHub (repository access), and, for managed projects, Vercel (deployment). Your use of those integrations may be subject to the applicable third party’s terms. We are not responsible for third-party services, and their availability or changes may affect the Service. A current list of subprocessors is described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Fees, credits & billing
Orkka uses usage-based billing. New organizations receive a limited amount of free credits. After free credits are exhausted, a valid payment method is required to continue running agents. You pay for your actual model-token usage plus an Orkka platform fee, as described on our Pricing page and in the Service.
- Metering. Each AI operation is metered and recorded. Charges are calculated from those usage records and billed on a recurring (typically monthly) basis through Stripe.
- Authorization. By adding a payment method you authorize us and our payment processor to charge it for all fees incurred by your organization, including any final charge upon removal of a payment method or closure of the account.
- Budgets. You may configure budget alerts and, where available, pause-on-limit controls. These are provided as a convenience and are not a guarantee that usage will stop at a precise amount.
- Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for any applicable taxes other than taxes on our net income.
- Non-payment. Overdue amounts may result in suspension of agent execution or the account. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable.
10. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, and content (excluding Customer Content and Output), and all related intellectual property rights, are and remain the exclusive property of Orkka and its licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Service in accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. If you provide feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without restriction.
11. Confidentiality
Each party may access non-public information of the other. We treat your Customer Content as confidential and will not disclose it except as needed to provide the Service, with your permission, or as required by law. We describe our security practices in the Privacy Policy.
12. Term & termination
These Terms apply for as long as you use the Service. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, fail to pay, create risk or legal exposure for us, or if we discontinue the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends and we may delete your Customer Content after a reasonable period, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5–6 ownership provisions, 9–11, and 13–18) survive.
13. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, OR FIT FOR YOUR PURPOSE. YOU USE THE SERVICE AND OUTPUT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
14. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ORKKA AND ITS SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR OUTPUT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO ORKKA FOR THE SERVICE IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
15. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Orkka and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your Customer Content; (b) your or your members’ use of the Service or Output; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your infringement of any third-party right.
16. Changes to the service or terms
We may modify the Service and these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will provide notice (for example, by updating the effective date and, where appropriate, by email or in-product notice). Changes are effective when posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.
17. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of [Governing Jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in [Venue], except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. [If applicable, insert arbitration and class-action-waiver provisions here after review by counsel.]
18. General
- Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Orkka regarding the Service.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- Severability & waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
- Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
