Terms of Service
Effective date: July 14, 2025
Last updated: March 28, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you (individually or on behalf of an entity, "you" or "your") and Coderhelm ("we", "us", "our") governing your use of the Coderhelm website at coderhelm.com, the Coderhelm GitHub App, the Coderhelm dashboard, and all related services (collectively, the "Service"). By installing the GitHub App, accessing the dashboard, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install or use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms. By installing the GitHub App on an organization account, you confirm that you have the necessary administrative permissions.
2. Description of Service
Coderhelm is an autonomous AI coding agent delivered as a GitHub App. When you assign a GitHub issue to Coderhelm or apply a designated label, the Service:
- Reads your repository files and structure to understand context
- Analyzes the issue and generates a plan for code changes
- Implements the changes across one or more files
- Self-reviews the changes through multiple automated passes
- Opens a draft pull request for your review
- Optionally detects and fixes CI failures on its branch
The Service also includes:
- Jira integration: You may connect a Jira workspace to sync issues and trigger runs from Jira tickets
- Google OAuth login: You may authenticate to the dashboard using your Google account
- MCP tool servers: You may configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool servers that the AI agent can invoke during runs. Third-party MCP servers are operated by you or third parties and are not part of the Service
- AI-powered plans: The Service uses large language models to generate implementation plans and code changes
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times.
3. Account & Access
Access to the Service is managed through your GitHub account and the Coderhelm GitHub App installation. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the security of your GitHub account credentials
- All activity that occurs under your installation, whether authorized by you or not
- Promptly notifying us of any unauthorized use of the Service
We reserve the right to suspend or disable access if we reasonably believe your account has been compromised.
4. Your Responsibilities
- You are solely responsible for reviewing all code changes made by Coderhelm before merging them into any branch
- You must not use the Service to generate malicious code, malware, or code that violates any applicable law or third-party rights
- You must comply with GitHub's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policies
- You must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy
- You are responsible for any consequences of merging coderhelm-generated code into your repositories, including but not limited to bugs, security vulnerabilities, data loss, or service outages
- You acknowledge that AI-generated code may contain errors and should be treated as a draft requiring human review
5. Intellectual Property
5.1 Your Code
Code generated by Coderhelm for your repositories belongs to you. We claim no ownership of your code, your repositories, the input you provide (issue descriptions, comments), or the output produced by the Service on your behalf.
5.2 Open-Source Compliance
AI-generated code may inadvertently resemble existing open-source code. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any code you merge complies with applicable open-source licenses and does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights.
5.3 Our Service
The Service itself — including its name, branding, logos, underlying technology, algorithms, user interface, documentation, and all related intellectual property — remains our exclusive property. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service beyond the limited right to use it as described herein.
5.4 Feedback
If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to use and incorporate such feedback without obligation to you.
6. Usage & Fair Use
6.1 Service Tiers
The Service is currently offered free of charge. Usage limits (such as token budgets) may apply and are displayed in your dashboard settings.
6.2 Future Pricing
We reserve the right to introduce paid plans in the future. If we do, we will provide at least 30 days' prior notice. Existing free-tier access will not be retroactively charged.
7. Service Availability & Modifications
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.
