Service terms

Spctre is operated by Ciwrl Technologies LLC d/b/a Spctre. Spctre provides a unified control plane to write, test, simulate, compile, and publish security and governance policies for autonomous systems.

Core Control Plane & Gateways

Subject to compliance with these terms, Spctre grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access our administrative console, compile policy bundles, and integrate your runtimes with our decision gateways.

Open Source Components & Tooling

Our core engine and command-line interfaces (CLIs) are distributed under separate open-source licenses (typically Apache 2.0). Your use of those specific components is governed by their respective licenses, which take precedence over these terms where applicable.

Service Level Agreements (SLA)

Standard workspaces are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. Premium Spctre Cloud workspaces are governed by dedicated Service Level Agreements covering latency, availability, and dedicated review queues.

Access Control

Account credentials and API token security

User obligations

Token Custody

You are entirely responsible for the security and confidentiality of your administrative credentials, client IDs, and API keys. Any action authorized by your keys is deemed authorized by your organization.

Rate Limits

To maintain gateway reliability, we apply dynamic rate limits on policy compilation and gateway evaluation requests. Circumventing these limits via concurrent key generation is strictly prohibited.

Security Incidents

You must immediately notify Spctre Security at security@spctre.dev in the event of any unauthorized credential exposure, workspace compromise, or token leak in your agent configuration repos.

Agent Liability

Liability boundaries for autonomous agent actions

CRITICAL STATEMENT

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON RUNTIME ACTIONS: Spctre is a policy evaluation and audit control plane. Spctre does NOT execute the actual tools, write the code files, transfer funds, or invoke external APIs on behalf of your autonomous systems.

Autonomous Consequences

You retain exclusive ownership, configuration, and control over the agent runtimes that call the Spctre gateway. You are solely responsible for the actions, database mutations, infrastructure costs, and API side-effects generated by your autonomous agents.

Enforcement Deficiencies

Spctre evaluates metadata against policies you author. If an agent executes a destructive action due to an incorrectly configured policy rule, a bypassed SDK check, or a missing runtime target mapping, Spctre is not liable for any resulting damage or loss.

Limits of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ciwrl Technologies LLC d/b/a Spctre shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from tool execution failures, agent operational failures, or ledger synchronization delays.

Acceptable Use

Prohibited Operations

  • You may not use Spctre to coordinate or manage agents engaged in illegal activities or cyberwarfare.
  • You may not probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our decision gateways without explicit permission.
  • You may not inject malicious payloads, loop scripts, or exploit the rule engine compiler.
  • You may not build wrappers designed to hide agent identity or bypass audit chain transparency.
Termination

Rules & Suspensions

  • We reserve the right to suspend workspaces in active breach of access control or acceptable use guidelines.
  • Upon termination, your right to evaluate policy decisions via our hosted gateways will immediately cease.
  • You can delete your account and export your rule history at any time through the administrative console.
  • Provisions regarding intellectual property, autonomous liability, and limits of liability shall survive termination.
