Acceptable Use

Summary

Use Clawless Computer for your own work or your team's work. Respect every applicable law. Do not use the app to harm other people. Do not try to circumvent the license mechanism. The AI provider you bring your own key to has its own acceptable use policy; that policy applies to the prompts you send through your key.

1. What this policy is

This Acceptable Use Policy describes the categories of behavior that are not allowed when using Clawless Computer. It is part of, and should be read alongside, our terms of service. Where this page covers a situation explicitly, the language here applies. Where a situation is not explicitly covered but clearly violates the spirit of the terms, we reserve the right to act on it.

2. What you can do

• Use Clawless Computer for personal work, professional work, research, study, or any creative or productive purpose
• Connect your own API keys for any supported AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, and others), and use the app to send prompts through those keys under each provider's terms
• Install and develop your own skills, agents, and tools on top of the application
• Activate Clawless Computer on multiple Macs you own or control, up to your license's activation limit
• Build automations or workflows on top of the local Clawless surfaces (the bundled tools, the browser automation, the local channels integrations) for your own use

3. What you cannot do

3.1 Unlawful or harmful content

Do not use Clawless Computer to generate, store, distribute, or process content that:

• Is illegal under the laws of your jurisdiction or the United States, including child sexual abuse material, material that incites violence or terrorism, or material that infringes copyright you do not hold
• Targets identifiable individuals with harassment, defamation, threats, or stalking, or that violates a specific person's privacy without lawful basis
• Is designed to facilitate fraud, identity theft, phishing, social engineering, or other deception against third parties
• Generates or distributes malicious code, malware, or exploits against systems you do not own or are not authorized to test
• Was obtained through unauthorized access to a system, network, or account

3.2 BYOK provider rules apply to your prompts

When you connect an AI provider with your own API key, the prompts you send and the responses you receive flow directly between your computer and that provider. The provider's own acceptable use policy applies to that traffic. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, and the others each publish their own usage policies, and each can suspend or revoke your API access for content that violates those rules. Clawless does not see, log, or moderate your provider traffic; you are responsible for staying within each provider's terms.

3.3 Software and license abuse

• Do not reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law
• Do not attempt to circumvent the license activation mechanism, use a license key that was not issued to you, or share a license key in a way that exceeds your activation limit
• Do not redistribute, resell, sublicense, rent, or transfer Clawless Computer or any license key
• Do not remove or modify the proprietary notices, trademarks, or copyright marks shipped with the app
• Do not use Clawless Computer, its outputs, or its behavior to develop, train, evaluate, or benchmark a product that competes with Clawless Computer

3.4 Infrastructure abuse

• Do not use Clawless Computer in a manner that overburdens our license-validation infrastructure or that of our subprocessors (Lemon Squeezy, Cloudflare)
• Do not script or automate license activation, deactivation, or validation requests beyond ordinary single-user usage
• Do not expose the bundled local services (MCP servers, browser automation endpoints, IPC surfaces) to the public internet, and do not use them to provide Clawless Computer functionality as a service to users other than yourself or members of your immediate household or team operating under your license

4. Where the responsibility sits

Clawless Computer is local-first: conversations, settings, memory entries, and your work product live on your Mac. We do not see what you generate. The legal responsibility for what you produce, store, or distribute using the app rests with you. If you enable any optional feature that sends data off your Mac (a BYOK provider connection, the Help mode lookup to our knowledge base, license validation with Lemon Squeezy), the terms of that downstream service apply to that specific traffic, in addition to this policy.

5. Reporting abuse

If you believe a license holder is using Clawless Computer in violation of this policy (for example, redistributing license keys, exposing the app's services as a public product, or using it to violate someone's privacy), email [email protected] with the subject line "Acceptable Use Report" and as much detail as you can provide. We investigate every credible report.

6. Consequences of violation

We may suspend or revoke a license that we determine, in good faith, has been used in material violation of this policy. We may also report serious violations to the appropriate authorities. License revocation for cause does not entitle you to a refund.

7. Contact

Questions about this policy go to [email protected]. Refund-related questions, including the relationship between this policy and a license revocation, are covered on the refunds page.

Changelog

• 2026-05-17: Initial publication. Names the BYOK provider relationship explicitly: provider AUPs apply to your prompts because the traffic goes directly from your Mac to the provider without us in the path. Replaces the forward-looking paragraph that previously bundled acceptable-use posture into the terms placeholder.
