ytimesy Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-11-02. Effective: 2026-11-02.

These terms are an agreement between you and ytimesy ("ytimesy", "we", "us"), the project that runs the ytimesy service.

By creating an account or signing in, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. The sign-up and sign-in screens say this under their buttons, and we record the version you accepted and when. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use ytimesy. If you use ytimesy for an organization, you confirm you can bind it, and "you" includes it.

1. The service, and the beta

ytimesy runs AI coding agents in cloud workspaces connected to your GitHub repositories. Agents read and change code, run commands, and can push branches and open pull requests.

ytimesy is in free beta. During the beta:

  • We charge nothing. There are no payments, and we hold no payment details.
  • Usage limits apply. Each account has a 5-hour and a weekly limit on cloud machine use. When one is used up, new work cannot start until it resets, and running work can be stopped once it passes a short grace allowance. The beta also has a shared monthly cloud budget; when it is used up, new machine time cannot start for anyone until it resets. We set these limits and may change them.
  • It is provided as is and as available. Features can change, break, be limited, or be removed without notice. There is no uptime commitment. Do not rely on ytimesy for production-critical work.
  • If you connect your own model key or subscription, that provider may charge you (see section 5). That is between you and the provider.
  • If we introduce paid plans, we will tell you before charging anything, and paid use will need your separate agreement.

2. Who can use ytimesy

  • You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher. ytimesy is for professional software work. It is not for children.
  • By creating an account, you confirm you meet this age requirement and can form a binding contract.
  • If we learn or have reason to believe that an account belongs to someone under 18, we will close the account and delete its data as described in the Privacy Policy. If you believe a minor has an account, contact support@ytimesy.com.
  • You may not use ytimesy if you are barred by sanctions or export laws, or if we have previously removed you from the service.

3. Your account

  • Keep your sign-in secure. You are responsible for activity in your account and for the repositories, secrets, model keys and subscriptions you connect.
  • One person per account. Do not share accounts or create extra accounts to get around limits.
  • Tell us promptly at support@ytimesy.com if you think your account was accessed without permission.

4. Your content and output

"Your content" means what you provide or connect: code, repositories, prompts, messages, attachments, files, secrets, imported local agent sessions and memory. "Output" means what the agents produce for you: code, diffs, pull requests, messages, screenshots and recordings.

  • You own your content. As between you and us, you keep all rights in it.
  • You own the output made for you. To the extent we have any rights in output, we assign them to you.
  • You give us a limited licence to host, copy, process, transmit and display your content and output only to provide, secure and support the service for you, to enforce these Terms, and to comply with law, and, if the "Help improve ytimesy" setting is on, as described in section 6.
  • You confirm you have the rights to connect the repositories and content you give ytimesy, including code owned by an employer or client.
  • Output can be wrong, insecure, or similar to output produced for others. Model output may not be protectable by copyright in every country. You are responsible for reviewing it.

5. Models, subscriptions and third-party services

  • Agents run on models you choose and connect. You can connect your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint) and, where ytimesy offers them, your own subscriptions: ChatGPT (Codex) through ChatGPT sign-in, Claude through a Claude Code setup token you create, and Grok through xAI sign-in.
  • When an agent runs, we send the request to the provider you chose. That provider's terms and policies apply to your use, including how it bills you, retains data, and handles abuse.
  • You are responsible for making sure your provider's terms allow you to use your key or subscription through ytimesy. We are not responsible if a provider limits, suspends or closes your account, or charges you, because of that use.
  • We store the keys and sign-in tokens you connect encrypted. Our servers use them to call the provider; they are not placed on your workspace machine. For a Claude subscription, the machine gets a short-lived ytimesy grant that works only for that turn, and our server swaps in your token.
  • GitHub, Google and other connected services are governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.

6. Training data

  • ytimesy has a "Help improve ytimesy" setting. It is shown to you during onboarding with its switch on (off in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland); your choice is saved when you continue. You can change it at any time in Settings → Privacy.
  • When it is on, chats that run while it is on can be used to improve ytimesy's agents and to train or evaluate models, using only: your prompts and messages, your code and repository context, and results (command and test output, pull request outcomes, and feedback you give).
  • We never use AI models' replies or model-generated code as training data, from any provider, whether the setting is on or off.
  • When it is off, nothing from your chats is used for training. Turning it off also withdraws chats from the time it was on.
  • You can exclude a single project in its settings.
  • Details, including what happens today, are in the Training Data policy and the Privacy Policy.

7. GitHub access

  • Signing in with GitHub only reads your profile and email address.
  • To work on repositories you install the ytimesy GitHub App on the accounts and repositories you select. Agents use it to clone code, push branches, and open or update pull requests. The App's permissions are listed in the Privacy Policy.
  • Agents do not merge pull requests. You can merge one yourself from ytimesy's pull request panel, which merges only the commit you reviewed.
  • You can uninstall the App or remove repositories at any time in GitHub.

8. Agents act for you; review their work

Agents can run arbitrary commands in your workspace, change files, install packages, browse the web and push branches. You are responsible for reviewing agent changes before you merge, deploy or rely on them, and for actions agents take on your instructions using credentials you provide. Do not give agents production credentials or access you are not prepared for them to use. Keep your own backups; ytimesy workspaces are not a backup.

9. Acceptable use

Do not use ytimesy, its workspaces or agents to:

  • break the law, infringe others' rights, or handle data you are not allowed to;
  • attack, scan, probe or disrupt systems or networks you do not own or have permission to test; run denial-of-service, botnets or malware;
  • probe, scan or test the security of ytimesy itself without our written permission (report vulnerabilities to support@ytimesy.com);
  • send spam or phishing, or create fraudulent or deceptive content;
  • mine cryptocurrency, run proxies or VPNs for others, or use workspaces as general-purpose or production hosting unrelated to software development;
  • get around usage limits, rate limits, security controls, or another user's isolation; access another account's data;
  • use someone else's keys, sign-ins or subscriptions without permission, or share a personal subscription in a way its provider does not allow;
  • scrape or extract data from ytimesy, or reverse engineer it, except as the law allows;
  • use ytimesy or its output to build or train a competing product or model, except where the law does not allow this restriction;
  • generate child sexual abuse material or content that exploits minors;
  • resell the service;
  • violate your model provider's or GitHub's terms.

We may suspend workspaces or accounts to stop abuse, protect the service, or comply with law, where possible with notice.

10. Feedback

If you send ideas or feedback, we may use them without obligation to you.

11. Copyright complaints

Send notices of claimed infringement to support@ytimesy.com. We remove infringing content and close the accounts of repeat infringers where appropriate.

12. Ending your use

  • You can delete your account at any time in Settings. This deletes your data as described in the Privacy Policy.
  • We may suspend or end your access for breach of these terms, for risk to the service or others, if a provider or the law requires it, or if we end the beta or the service. If we shut down the service, we will try to tell you in the app first.
  • Sections 4, 10, 13, 14 and 15 survive termination.

13. Disclaimers

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YTIMESY AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST. WE DO NOT WARRANT THIRD-PARTY SERVICES OR MODEL PROVIDERS.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL; AND (b) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND US$100. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

15. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your content, your repositories, your use of output, your use of connected keys and subscriptions, or your breach of these terms or the law.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we update the date above and show a notice to signed-in users in the app. Continuing to use ytimesy after the update, including signing in or dismissing the notice, means you accept the updated terms. If you do not agree, stop using ytimesy and delete your account.

17. General

These terms (with the Privacy Policy and any policies they link) are the whole agreement. If a part is unenforceable the rest stays in force. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may transfer them along with the service, with notice to you.
