DEVTEAM - TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: June 11, 2026 | Effective Date: June 11, 2026

1. AGREEMENT TO TERMS AND SCOPE

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the DevTeam software application, including the downloadable desktop application, license keys, updates, documentation, our website at trydevteam.com, and any related paid or free services we make available (collectively, the "Software"). They form a legally binding agreement between you, whether individually or on behalf of an entity ("you," "your," or "User"), and Hillside Ventures LLC, a Missouri limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

By downloading, installing, activating a license key for, accessing, or using the Software, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you are prohibited from using the Software and must discontinue use and uninstall it. If you use the Software on behalf of an entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to use the Software. By using it, you represent that you are at least 18 and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

We may revise these Terms at any time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate or legally required, by additional notice. Your continued use after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance.

2. NATURE OF THE SOFTWARE - IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES

These disclosures are central to this agreement and to your assumption of risk under Sections 12–14. You acknowledge that you understand and accept each of them.

2.1 You are interacting with an AI system. When you use DevTeam's agents, you are interacting with an artificial-intelligence system and not with a human. (This notice is provided consistent with transparency obligations such as Article 50 of the EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, where applicable to you.)

2.2 Autonomous code generation and execution. DevTeam is an autonomous, multi-agent software-development harness. Once you describe a project and initiate execution, the Software's agents will, with limited or no further human intervention, plan a project, generate source code, create and modify files, install software dependencies, and execute commands and run code on your computer within a project directory you designate. The Software is designed to operate in an "autopilot" mode that proceeds through multiple steps without prompting you to approve each individual action.

2.3 The Output is AI-generated and may be wrong. All plans, code, configurations, tests, analyses, and other materials the Software produces ("Output") are generated by probabilistic AI models. Output may be incomplete, inaccurate, insecure, non-functional, infringing, or otherwise defective. The fact that generated code compiles, runs, or passes automated tests does not guarantee it is correct, secure, or fit for any purpose. You must independently review, test, and validate all Output before relying on it, committing it, shipping it, deploying it, or using it for any legal, financial, medical, employment, security, or other high-stakes decision.

2.4 Local execution; the sandbox is a guardrail, not isolation. The Software executes code on your own machine. It includes a process-level sandbox (command allow-listing, path-boundary checks, timeouts, output caps, environment scrubbing) designed to prevent catastrophic mistakes. This sandbox is not a security boundary against a determined adversary and is not true isolation. A malfunctioning, mis-prompted, or maliciously-influenced agent could, among other things, consume system resources, fill disk space, read or write files within the project directory, make network requests through allowed commands, or take other actions with real consequences on your system. You are solely responsible for running the Software only on systems, and against directories, where you accept this risk.

2.5 You bring your own AI provider; that provider's terms and costs govern that usage. The Software does not include AI model access. It operates by connecting to a third-party AI provider that you supply and authenticate - for example, an Anthropic Claude subscription via the Claude Code CLI, an Anthropic API key, or other supported providers such as OpenAI/Codex or GitHub Copilot (collectively, "Third-Party Providers"). Your use of any Third-Party Provider through the Software is governed by that provider's own terms, policies, usage limits, and billing, which are separate from these Terms and which you alone are responsible for reviewing and complying with. We are not a party to, and have no control over, your relationship with any Third-Party Provider. (See Section 7.)

2.6 Credential and secret handling. To function, the Software accesses credentials and secrets that you provide or that exist on your system - for example, Third-Party Provider authentication tokens or API keys, project-level secrets you enter, and (if you use the optional remote-deployment feature) SSH keys and server credentials. You are responsible for the security of your own machine and credentials. (See Sections 6 and 9.)

2.7 Optional remote deployment. The Software includes an optional feature that, when you explicitly invoke it, connects over SSH to a remote server ("VPS") you specify and runs scripts there. This executes code on infrastructure you control or are responsible for, with real and potentially irreversible effects. You are solely responsible for the configuration, security, contents, backups, and consequences of any system you connect or deploy to.

2.8 Key definitions. In these Terms: "Inputs" means the descriptions, prompts, files, code, and other materials you supply to the Software; "Output" means the plans, code, configurations, tests, analyses, and other materials the Software generates; and "Usage Data" means anonymized, aggregated, non-identifying data about how the Software is used - such as crash and error diagnostics, Software version, operating-system type, and anonymous feature-usage and run-outcome event counts - that is not linkable to you and does not contain your Inputs, Output, code, or secrets. We may collect and use Usage Data to operate, secure, analyze, maintain, and improve the Software, as further described in our Privacy Policy. (See Section 9 and the Privacy Policy for what is and is not collected, and your choices.)

3. LICENSE GRANT AND RESTRICTIONS

3.1 Grant. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of all applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software on machines you own or control, solely for your own internal or commercial software-development purposes, for the duration of a valid, paid subscription with an active license key.

3.2 Reservation. The Software is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software and all intellectual-property rights in it. No rights are granted except as expressly set out here.

3.3 Restrictions. You will not, and will not permit any third party to:

(a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Software except as expressly permitted; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code, structure, or underlying ideas of the Software, except to the limited extent applicable law prohibits this restriction; (c) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute, transfer, host as a service, or otherwise make the Software available to any third party, whether for a fee or free; (d) circumvent, disable, or tamper with any license-key validation, activation, usage limit, or other technical protection or entitlement mechanism; (e) share, resell, or use a single-user license across multiple users or beyond the seats or scope you have paid for; (f) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices; (g) use the Software to build a competing product or service, including to train or develop any competing artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model, or to benchmark the Software for the purpose of building a competing product; (h) use the Software in violation of any applicable law, regulation, third-party right, or any Third-Party Provider's terms; or (i) use the Software for anything prohibited under Section 5.

3.4 License keys and entitlement. Access requires a valid license key tied to an active subscription. We may use license-key validation and other technical means to enforce entitlements, and may suspend or revoke a license key upon non-payment, expiration, or breach.

3.5 Updates. We may, but are not obligated to, provide updates, patches, or new versions, which may be subject to these or additional terms presented at the time. We are under no obligation to maintain backward compatibility, support older versions, or continue any feature. Open-source components remain subject to their own licenses.

4. SUBSCRIPTION, FEES, AND PAYMENT

4.1 Subscription and auto-renewal. The Software is provided on a recurring subscription basis. By subscribing, you authorize us and our third-party payment processor (Stripe) to charge the applicable recurring fee, plus taxes, to your designated payment method on each renewal date until you cancel. Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price until canceled, and you authorize these automatically recurring charges without further authorization for each charge.

4.2 Price changes. We may change pricing, packaging, or plan features. Changes apply prospectively after your current billing cycle and, where required by law, after notice. Continued use after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance.

4.3 No fees for AI usage; provider costs are separate and yours. The subscription fee is for the Software only. It does not include, and we do not charge for, AI model usage. Any and all costs of your Third-Party Provider - subscription fees, per-token API charges, overage or metered charges, or any other amounts - are your sole responsibility and are billed to you by that provider, not by us. You acknowledge that the Software's autonomous operation can consume Third-Party Provider usage or incur Third-Party Provider charges, potentially substantial, and that you alone are responsible for monitoring and controlling that consumption and any resulting cost. We are not responsible for any Third-Party Provider charges you incur, however large, including charges resulting from the Software's autonomous behavior, errors, loops, retries, or unexpected operation.

4.4 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for all applicable sales, use, value-added, and similar taxes, excluding taxes on our net income.

4.5 Cancellation. You may cancel at any time through the billing portal or by emailing us at [email protected]. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not retroactively refund the current period unless required by law or expressly stated by us. On expiration or cancellation, your license to use the Software ends.

4.6 Free trial and refunds. New subscriptions include a three (3)-day free trial; you will not be charged if you cancel before the trial ends. After the trial, except where required by applicable law, fees are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partial periods, downgrades, or unused time.

4.7 Failed payments. If a charge fails, we may suspend or revoke your license key and access until payment is resolved.

5. PROHIBITED USES

You may not use the Software to design, generate, build, test, deploy, or operate anything that, or otherwise to:

(a) violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation; (b) create malware, ransomware, spyware, exploits, credential harvesters, or any code intended to gain unauthorized access to, damage, disrupt, or surveil any system, network, data, or person; (c) infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party's intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; (d) generate or facilitate fraud, phishing, spam, or deceptive or unfair practices; (e) build systems for unlawful surveillance, stalking, or harassment; (f) develop, operate, or facilitate anything in violation of export-control or sanctions laws, or for any prohibited end use; (g) attempt to circumvent, exhaust, defraud, or abuse any Third-Party Provider, or to violate any Third-Party Provider's terms (including by using subscription-based access in a manner the provider prohibits); (h) generate content that is unlawful, that sexually exploits or endangers minors, or that promotes violence or unlawful harm; (i) interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Software, our systems, our license-validation infrastructure, other users, or their data, devices, or workspaces; (j) submit, expose, or process through the Software any sensitive personal information - including government identifiers such as Social Security numbers, passport or driver's-license numbers; payment-card numbers or financial-account credentials; protected health information; or biometric data - whether contained in your Inputs, project files, or secrets; or (k) use the Software in any High-Risk Activity (Section 12.4) without appropriate independent safeguards, professional oversight, and acceptance of all associated risk.

You are solely responsible for what you instruct the Software to build and for all uses of any Output you generate. Violation of this Section is a material breach permitting immediate suspension or termination without refund, and may be reported to applicable authorities or Third-Party Providers.

6. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES; ASSUMPTION OF OPERATIONAL RISK

You are solely responsible for, and assume all risk arising from:

6.1 Review and verification - independently reviewing, testing, auditing, and validating all Output (for correctness, security, performance, licensing, and fitness) before relying on, committing, deploying, or using it in any consequential context. You will not treat Output as correct merely because it runs or passes tests.

6.2 Backups and environment - maintaining current backups before and during use; running the Software only against directories and on machines where you accept the risk of automated file creation, modification, and command execution; and using version control so automated changes can be reviewed and reverted. You decide what devices, folders, repositories, commands, and permissions you expose to the Software.

6.3 Credentials and secrets - securing your machine, accounts, Third-Party Provider credentials, API keys, project secrets, and SSH and server credentials; rotating them as appropriate; and bearing responsibility for any consequence of their compromise, misuse, or exposure except to the extent directly caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.4 Third-Party Provider compliance and cost - reviewing and complying with all applicable Third-Party Provider terms and bearing all Third-Party Provider costs, including those arising from the Software's autonomous operation.

6.5 Deployment - for any use of the optional remote-deployment feature, the full configuration, security, contents, backups, and consequences of the target system and anything deployed to it.

6.6 Legal compliance for what you build - ensuring anything you build, deploy, or operate complies with all laws applicable to you, your business, and your end users (including, where applicable, data-privacy, consumer-protection, financial-services, accessibility, and industry-specific regulation). We make no representation that Output complies with any such requirement.

6.7 Professional advice - obtaining independent professional advice (legal, security, financial, regulatory, or otherwise) where appropriate. The Software and its Output do not constitute professional advice of any kind.

7. THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS, SERVICES, AND DEPENDENCIES

7.1 Independent third parties. The Software relies on Third-Party Providers and may interact with other third-party software, libraries, package registries, APIs, and services ("Third-Party Services"), each operated by independent third parties under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for them, their availability, pricing, conduct, changes, or any content, code, or dependency they supply (including any insecure, malicious, or infringing dependency the Software may install from their source).

7.2 No responsibility for provider changes. Third-Party Providers may change, restrict, deprecate, re-price, or terminate their offerings, access methods, authentication mechanisms, or usage terms at any time. Any such change - including one that increases your costs, alters how the Software must authenticate, reduces available usage, or impairs or disables Software functionality - is outside our control, is not a breach of these Terms by us, does not entitle you to any refund, and is your responsibility to manage.

7.3 Your provider relationship. Your accounts, subscriptions, API keys, billing, and compliance with any Third-Party Provider are solely between you and that provider. You are responsible for using each Third-Party Provider only in ways that provider permits.

7.4 Open-source components. The Software may include open-source components licensed under their own terms, which govern your use of those components to the extent they grant rights or impose conditions.

8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

8.1 Our IP. The Software, its design, code, structure, "look and feel," trademarks, site content, and all related intellectual property are owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. Except for the limited license in Section 3, nothing transfers any of our intellectual property to you.

8.2 Your Inputs. You retain whatever rights you have in your Inputs (as defined in Section 2.8). You grant us only the limited, non-exclusive license necessary to host, store, process, transmit, and display Inputs as needed to operate, secure, and support the Software. You represent that you have the rights necessary to provide your Inputs and to have the Software act on them, and that doing so does not infringe the rights of others.

8.3 Output ownership and its limits. As between you and us, and subject to the rights of any Third-Party Provider and to applicable law, we do not claim ownership of the Output generated for your project. However, you acknowledge that: (a) AI-generated Output may not be eligible for copyright or other protection, may not be exclusive to you, and may be similar or identical to Output generated for others; (b) Output may incorporate or resemble third-party material and may infringe third-party rights; (c) your rights in Output may be subject to the applicable Third-Party Provider's terms; and (d) you are solely responsible for determining the legal status of, and your right to use, any Output. We make no representation or warranty regarding ownership, originality, non-infringement, or protectability of Output.

8.4 No IP indemnity for Output. We do not provide any intellectual-property indemnity for Output. You assume all risk that Output may infringe or misappropriate third-party rights.

8.5 Feedback. If you give us suggestions or feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it for any purpose without obligation to you.

9. PRIVACY AND DATA

9.1 Local processing; we never receive or train on your code. The Software's orchestration runs locally on your machine. Your project files, code, prompts, secrets, and Output are processed on your own system and/or transmitted directly to the Third-Party Provider you configure. Because your project content never passes through our systems, we do not receive it, cannot access it, and do not - and could not - use it to train any artificial-intelligence model or for any purpose whatsoever.

9.2 Data sent to Third-Party Providers. When the Software calls a Third-Party Provider, your Inputs and related project content are transmitted directly to that provider and handled under that provider's privacy policy and terms, which you are responsible for reviewing. We do not control that processing. Your provider's own training policies apply to that content - for example, some providers may use inputs and outputs from consumer subscription accounts (including agentic sessions via third-party applications) to train their models unless you opt out in your provider account settings. Review your provider's privacy settings before use.

9.3 Information we collect. We collect only the limited information needed to operate and improve the business and the Software: account and billing information (processed by our payment processor), license-activation and validation data, support communications you send us, and diagnostic telemetry (crash/error reports and anonymous usage analytics constituting Usage Data, collected via third-party processors subject to the consent choices described in our Privacy Policy). This telemetry never includes your Inputs, Output, code, or secrets. Full detail - including the processors used, what is and is not collected, and how to change your telemetry settings - is in our Privacy Policy.

9.4 Payment data. Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full payment-card numbers; payment data is handled by the processor under its terms and privacy policy.

9.5 Privacy Policy. Our separate Privacy Policy at trydevteam.com/privacy is incorporated by reference.

9.6 Security. We implement reasonable measures for the limited data we handle, but no method of transmission or storage is fully secure, and you acknowledge that the security of your own machine, network, and credentials is your responsibility.

10. SUPPORT; SERVICE LEVELS

The Software is provided without any guaranteed support, response time, uptime, or availability unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement signed by us. We may, at our discretion, provide support, updates, or assistance, but are not obligated to. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Software or any feature, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice. Any public statements we make about support are honored only to the extent they do not promise specific response times or outcomes, unless expressly agreed in writing.

11. TERM, SUSPENSION, AND TERMINATION

11.1 Term. These Terms apply from your first use until terminated.

11.2 Termination by you. You may terminate by canceling your subscription and uninstalling the Software.

11.3 Suspension/termination by us. We may suspend or terminate your license and access, immediately and without liability, if we reasonably believe you (a) failed to pay, (b) breached these Terms, (c) engaged in unlawful or prohibited use, (d) violated a Third-Party Provider's terms, or (e) created risk for us, other users, or third parties, or where required by law. We may also terminate for convenience on reasonable notice, in which case we will refund any prepaid, unused fees for the terminated period where required by law or as a goodwill gesture at our discretion.

11.4 Survival. Sections that by their nature should survive - including Sections 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 through 19, and any payment obligations - survive termination. On termination, the license in Section 3 ends and you must cease all use and uninstall the Software.

12. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

THESE DISCLAIMERS ARE A MATERIAL BASIS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND OF THE FEES CHARGED.

12.1 "AS IS." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," "WITH ALL FAULTS," AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

12.2 Disclaimer. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE.

12.3 Specifically, we do not warrant that: (a) the Software or Output will be accurate, correct, secure, reliable, complete, functional, or fit for any purpose; (b) the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components; (c) generated code is free of defects, vulnerabilities, or infringing material, or that it does what it appears to do; (d) defects will be corrected; (e) the Software will be compatible with your systems or with any Third-Party Provider or Third-Party Service; or (f) any Third-Party Provider or Third-Party Service will remain available, priced, or accessible as it was.

12.4 High-Risk Activities. THE SOFTWARE IS NOT DESIGNED, INTENDED, OR AUTHORIZED FOR USE IN ANY APPLICATION IN WHICH THE FAILURE, ERROR, OR INSECURITY OF SOFTWARE OR OUTPUT COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, FINANCIAL, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ("HIGH-RISK ACTIVITIES"), INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION MEDICAL OR LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEMS, AVIATION OR VEHICLE CONTROL, CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, WEAPONS SYSTEMS, OR FINANCIAL SYSTEMS HANDLING REAL TRANSACTIONS OR REGULATED ACTIVITY. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK OF ANY SUCH USE.

12.5 AI-specific acknowledgment. You acknowledge the inherent limitations of AI described in Section 2 and agree that defects, inaccuracies, "hallucinations," insecure code, and unexpected autonomous behavior are foreseeable characteristics of the Software, not breaches of these Terms.

12.6 Jurisdictional limits. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case such warranties are limited to the minimum scope and shortest duration permitted by law.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

THESE LIMITATIONS ARE A MATERIAL BASIS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND OF THE FEES CHARGED.

13.1 Exclusion of indirect damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS, USE, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SOFTWARE, OR OUTPUT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

13.2 Specific excluded harms. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR: (a) any defect, error, insecurity, or infringement in Output, or any consequence of your use of Output; (b) lost, corrupted, deleted, or modified code or data; (c) damage to or compromise of your systems or environments; (d) any cost or charge imposed by any Third-Party Provider, including charges resulting from the Software's autonomous operation, errors, loops, or unexpected behavior; (e) any change, restriction, re-pricing, or discontinuation by any Third-Party Provider; (f) any consequence of the optional remote-deployment feature; or (g) any compromise, misuse, or exposure of credentials or secrets except to the extent directly caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13.3 Liability cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SOFTWARE, OR THE OUTPUT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

13.4 Basis of the bargain. You acknowledge that the disclaimers and limitations in Sections 12 and 13 reflect a reasonable allocation of risk, are an essential basis of the bargain, and that we would not provide the Software at the stated price without them. These limitations apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

13.5 Jurisdictional limits. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.

14. INDEMNIFICATION

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, fines, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Software or any Output; (b) anything you design, generate, build, deploy, or operate using the Software; (c) your breach of these Terms or violation of any law, regulation, or third-party right; (d) your violation of any Third-Party Provider's or Third-Party Service's terms; (e) any Output you use, distribute, or deploy, including any claim that it infringes or misappropriates a third party's rights or caused harm; (f) your Inputs; or (g) your negligence or willful misconduct. We may, at our option, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate. You will not settle any matter affecting us without our prior written consent.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION; CLASS-ACTION WAIVER

15.1 Informal resolution first. Before initiating arbitration or any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] with a written description of the dispute, and the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve it informally for at least thirty (30) days. This informal-resolution requirement is a precondition to commencing arbitration.

15.2 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by applicable U.S. federal law, including the Federal Arbitration Act, which governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions in this Section 15.

15.3 Agreement to arbitrate. Except for the matters described in Section 15.4, you and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Software, or the Output - whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory - will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, and not in a court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court as permitted by Section 15.4. You and the Company acknowledge that this agreement waives the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class action.

15.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 15.3, the following are not subject to mandatory arbitration: (a) claims that qualify for and are brought in a small-claims court, so long as the matter proceeds on an individual (non-class) basis; and (b) either party's request for temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief, or relief for actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual-property or proprietary rights, which may be brought in the courts described in Section 15.9.

15.5 Arbitration rules and administrator. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect (or, if the dispute is commercial in nature, its Commercial Arbitration Rules), as modified by these Terms. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, except that any dispute about the enforceability of the class-action waiver in Section 15.7 will be decided by a court.

15.6 Seat, location, and format. The seat of arbitration will be St. Louis County, Missouri. For arbitrations subject to the AAA Consumer Rules, any in-person hearing will be held in the county of your residence or another mutually agreed location; the arbitrator may also determine that a telephonic, video, or documents-only proceeding is appropriate. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15.7 Class-action and representative-action waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and the Company agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this Section 15.7 is found to be unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request (and only that claim or request) will be severed and brought in the courts described in Section 15.9, while all other claims proceed in arbitration.

15.8 Costs of arbitration. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the applicable AAA rules, including the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules' fee provisions where they apply. Each party will otherwise bear its own attorneys' fees and costs, except where these Terms or applicable law provide for fee recovery to a prevailing party.

15.9 Forum for non-arbitrable matters. For any claim within the exceptions in Section 15.4, any claim severed under Section 15.7, and any action to compel arbitration or enforce an arbitration award, you and the Company agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in St. Louis County, Missouri (and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri), and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum.

15.10 Opt-out of arbitration. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement (Sections 15.3–15.9) by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, the email associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, the dispute-resolution provisions are replaced by the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts described in Section 15.9, and the class-action waiver in Section 15.7 and jury-trial waiver below still apply to the extent permitted by law. Opting out has no other effect on these Terms.

15.11 Jury-trial waiver. To the extent any dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15.12 Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Software, or the Output must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arises, or it is permanently barred.

16. EXPORT CONTROL AND SANCTIONS

You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or person subject to U.S. or other applicable embargoes or sanctions, and that you are not on any restricted-party list. You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws, not to use or export the Software in violation of them, and not to use the Software for any prohibited end use.

17. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS

The Software is "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation." Any use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to the restrictions in these Terms, consistent with FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202, as applicable.

18. CHANGES TO THE SOFTWARE AND TO THESE TERMS

We may modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the Software or any feature at any time, with or without notice, and without liability. We may revise these Terms as described in Section 1; material changes will be indicated by the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate or legally required, by additional notice. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

19. GENERAL PROVISIONS

19.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, with any documents expressly incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Software and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings.

19.2 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions remain in full force.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, ACTIVATING, ACCESSING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THESE TERMS, UNDERSTAND THEM, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THEM - INCLUDING THE NATURE-OF-THE-SOFTWARE DISCLOSURES (SECTION 2), THE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY (SECTION 12), THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY (SECTION 13), AND THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS (SECTION 14).

DEVTEAM - PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: June 11, 2026 | Effective Date: June 11, 2026

1. SCOPE

This Privacy Policy explains how Hillside Ventures LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") handles personal information in connection with the DevTeam desktop software, our website at trydevteam.com, license activation and validation, billing, and our support channels (collectively, the "Services").

DevTeam is a desktop application: its orchestration runs locally on your own computer, and your project files, code, prompts, secrets, and the work the Software generates are processed on your device and/or transmitted directly to the third-party AI provider you configure (see Section 4). Apart from the billing, license-validation, and diagnostic-telemetry information described below, your project content does not flow to us.

For residents of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, this policy also describes our roles and your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, "GDPR"), the UK GDPR, and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection ("FADP"). For users in the United States, it describes rights under applicable state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended ("CCPA/CPRA").

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect only what we need to sell licenses, process payments, validate entitlements, and support you.

2.1 Billing and subscription data. When you purchase a subscription, our payment processor (Stripe) collects and processes your payment details. We receive and store limited billing metadata such as your email address, a payment-processor customer or subscription identifier, plan, subscription status, and renewal dates. We do not collect or store full payment-card numbers; those are handled directly by the payment processor under its own terms and privacy policy.

2.2 License-activation and validation data. To enforce that only paying users run the Software, the Software validates a license key. In doing so we process your license key, subscription status, a non-identifying installation identifier, the time of the validation check, and the IP address from which the validation request is made.

2.3 Communications. If you contact us for support, sign up for our early-access list or product updates, or otherwise communicate with us, we collect the information you provide, such as your email address and the contents of your message.

2.4 Your project content stays local. Your project files, code, prompts, the credentials and secrets you supply to the Software, and the Output the Software generates are processed locally on your device and/or sent to the third-party AI provider you configure (see Section 4). We do not receive, store, or have access to your project content.

2.5 Diagnostic telemetry (crash reports and anonymous usage analytics). To find and fix bugs and understand which features are used, the Software collects limited diagnostic telemetry through third-party processors - Sentry (crash and error reporting) and PostHog (anonymous product-usage analytics). This telemetry includes information such as error and crash details and stack traces, the Software version, operating-system type and version, a non-identifying installation identifier, and anonymous event counts indicating which features were used or whether a run succeeded or failed.

This telemetry never includes your project content - it does not include your code, prompts, file contents, the Output the Software generates, or the credentials and secrets you provide. We do not use it to identify you personally beyond what is necessary to diagnose issues and prevent abuse.

Your control. Crash and error reporting is on by default to help us keep the Software working; anonymous product-usage analytics is off by default and opt-in. You can review and change both during installation and at any time in the Software's settings. Where applicable law requires your prior consent for non-essential analytics, we collect it before enabling that analytics.

3. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We use the limited information we collect to:

• process purchases, renewals, cancellations, and invoices, and provide customer support;
• issue and validate license keys and enforce subscription and entitlement controls;
• detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, license-sharing, security incidents, and violations of our Terms;
• diagnose crashes and errors, monitor reliability, and understand aggregate feature usage to maintain and improve the Software (using the diagnostic telemetry described in Section 2.5);
• communicate with you about your subscription, important service or security notices, and (where you have opted in or as permitted by law) product news; and
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not "share" it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under U.S. state privacy laws.

4. THIRD-PARTY AI PROVIDERS AND YOUR DATA

The Software operates by connecting to a third-party AI provider that you supply and authenticate - for example, Anthropic (via the Claude Code CLI or an Anthropic API key), OpenAI/Codex, or GitHub Copilot ("Third-Party Providers").

When the Software calls a Third-Party Provider, your prompts and related project content are transmitted directly from your device to that provider and are handled under that provider's own privacy policy and terms, which you are responsible for reviewing. We are not an intermediary for that data, do not control that processing, and do not receive that content. Your account, authentication, billing, and data relationship with each Third-Party Provider is solely between you and that provider.

We never receive or train on your code. Because your project files, code, prompts, and the Output the Software generates are processed on your own device and/or sent directly to your chosen Third-Party Provider, we do not receive them, cannot access them, and do not - and could not - use them to train any AI model or for any other purpose. The only data that reaches us is the limited billing, license-validation, and anonymous diagnostic-telemetry information described in Section 2.

Your provider's own training policies still apply. Your chosen Third-Party Provider's policies govern the content you send through the Software. For example, Anthropic may use inputs and outputs from consumer subscription accounts (including agentic sessions via third-party applications) to train its models unless you opt out in your Claude account settings, while API usage is typically excluded from training by default. Review your provider's privacy settings and opt-out controls before use.

5. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We share the limited personal information we hold only with:

• Service providers that help us operate the business as processors on our behalf - principally our payment processor (Stripe), our crash-reporting provider (Sentry) and product-analytics provider (PostHog) for the diagnostic telemetry described in Section 2.5, and our website hosting and license-key management providers;
• Authorities or other parties when required by law, to respond to lawful requests, to protect our or others' rights, safety, or security, or to enforce our Terms; and
• A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.

6. COOKIES AND ANALYTICS (WEBSITE)

Our website at trydevteam.com uses only strictly necessary cookies for basic site function and does not use non-essential analytics or marketing cookies. The desktop Software itself does not use web cookies.

7. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only as long as needed to provide the Services, maintain legitimate business and financial records, resolve disputes, comply with law, and enforce our agreements. Billing and tax records are retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting law. License-validation records are retained only as long as needed for entitlement enforcement and abuse prevention. Diagnostic telemetry (crash reports and anonymous usage analytics) is retained only as long as needed for debugging, reliability monitoring, and product improvement, consistent with the retention settings of our telemetry processors. Any project content and secrets remain on your device until you delete them or remove the Software; we do not hold them.

8. SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the limited data we handle, including reliance on a PCI-compliant payment processor, access controls, and encrypted transport for license validation. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Because DevTeam runs on your machine and accesses credentials and secrets you provide, the security of your own device, network, and credentials is your responsibility (see the Terms of Service).

9. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We are based in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where we transfer personal data from the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland to a country not recognized as providing an adequate level of protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards under Article 46 of the GDPR, which typically include the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, and the Swiss addendum where applicable, or a provider's certification under an applicable Data Privacy Framework. You may request information about these safeguards by contacting us at [email protected].

10. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

10.1 EEA, UK, and Switzerland. Subject to the conditions and exceptions in the GDPR, UK GDPR, and FADP, you may have the right to: access your personal data (Art. 15); correct it (Art. 16); request erasure (Art. 17); restrict processing (Art. 18); data portability (Art. 20); object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing (Art. 21); and withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing (Art. 7(3)). We do not make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you based solely on automated processing.

Where we process your personal data and you are in these regions, our lawful bases are: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) for selling and operating your subscription, validating licenses, and providing support; legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) for security, fraud and abuse prevention, and defending legal claims; consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) for any non-essential analytics or marketing where required; and legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) for tax, accounting, and lawful requests.

You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk).

10.2 United States (including California). Depending on your state, you may have the right to know/access the personal information we collect, to request deletion, to request correction, and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights. As stated above, we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. California residents may also have the right to know the categories of personal information collected and the purposes, as described in this policy.

10.3 How to exercise rights. Contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (for GDPR, generally within one month, extendable where permitted). We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.

11. EU AND UK REPRESENTATIVES

If and to the extent we are required under Article 27 of the GDPR or UK GDPR to designate a representative, we will publish the representative's contact details here and make them available on request at [email protected]. Designating a representative does not affect our own responsibility under those laws.

12. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Services are intended for users who are at least eighteen (18) years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at [email protected] so we can address it.

13. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change, we will update the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate or legally required, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after the updated policy takes effect constitutes acceptance.
