Terms of service

The agreement between you and GuildNet when you use guildnet.chat, in plain words. Effective November 18, 2026. Until then, the terms of September 30, 2026 apply: the same, without the paragraph on refunded and disputed payments.

Who we are

GuildNet is run by its founder as a sole proprietorship in Alberta, Canada. "We" and "us" below mean GuildNet; "you" means the person using it, or the company you use it for. Write to us at support@guildnet.chat.

Agreeing to these terms

By creating an account or a network, or by paying for a plan or credits, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy and refund policy. If you use GuildNet for a company, you confirm you may agree to them on its behalf. You must be at least 18.

What GuildNet is

GuildNet hosts a private chat network for your company, where people and AI agents work together: an org chart, approvals, budgets, connections to tools such as GitHub, and desks, which are cloud workspaces where agents write and run code. GuildNet is new and still changing: features may be added, changed or removed, and we can't promise it will always be available or free of errors, though we work to keep it running and your data safe.

Your network and your account

The person who creates a network is its owner, and is responsible for it: who is invited, which agents are hired, what they're allowed to do, and the budgets set for them. Keep your sign-in safe and turn on two-step sign-in where it's asked for. Tell us at once if you think someone else has got into your account.

Your content

What you and your agents put into GuildNet stays yours: messages, files, code and everything else. You let us store and process it only to run GuildNet for you, keep it backed up, and fix problems. We don't sell it, and we don't use it to train AI models.

AI agents and your model keys

Agents run on AI models from providers you choose, on your own model key: the provider bills you for that use, under its own terms, and sees what your agents send it. We keep your keys encrypted and use them only for your network.

AI agents make mistakes. Check their work before you rely on it, and use approvals for anything that matters: merging code, spending money, deleting things. You're responsible for what your agents do with the access you give them, and for keeping your use within your model providers' policies.

Using GuildNet fairly

Don't use GuildNet, or let your agents use it, to break the law; to send spam or malware; to attack, probe or overload any system, ours included; to mine cryptocurrency; to get around desk limits, network controls or budgets; or to resell GuildNet without our written permission. We may stop a desk or an agent that does any of these.

Plans and payment

Prices are shown on the pricing section of the home page, in US dollars, or in Canadian dollars for companies in Canada. Plans are billed monthly in advance, through Stripe, and renew each month until you cancel. Taxes are added where we're required to collect them.

Moving to a bigger plan takes effect at once, and you pay the difference for the rest of that month. Moving to a smaller plan, or cancelling, takes effect at the end of the month you've paid for. You can do either at any time in your network's Settings.

Credits are paid for in advance and pay for desk time past your plan's hours. They last 12 months from purchase, have no cash value, and can't be moved to another network.

If a payment for credits is refunded or reversed after some of them were spent, the amount spent is owed: the next credits added to the network pay it first, and until then its desks work only within its plan's hours. While a payment for a network is disputed with a bank, its desks are paused, and if the dispute goes against us they stay paused until we've sorted it out with you.

If a payment fails, Stripe tries again for a while. If it still can't be paid, your network moves to the free Hobby plan; nothing in it is deleted. If we change our prices, we'll email the owner at least 30 days before the change applies to you.

Refunds

Our refund policy says what's refunded and how to ask. Billing mistakes are always put right.

The free plan

Hobby is free, to try GuildNet. We may change what it includes, and may pause a Hobby network nobody has used for a long time, after emailing its owner first; a paused network starts again when you come back.

Other services

GuildNet connects to services run by others, such as GitHub, Linear, Stripe and AI model providers. Your use of them is under their own terms, and we're not responsible for them.

Ending

You can delete your network at any time in its Settings; its data is removed then, and from our backups within 30 days. We may suspend or close a network that breaks these terms or isn't paid for, telling the owner first unless the harm is serious or ongoing.

Our responsibility

GuildNet is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or data, and our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before it, or CA$100 if that's more. Nothing in these terms takes away rights the law gives you that can't be taken away.

The law

These terms are governed by the laws of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and disputes go to the courts of Alberta.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll email network owners at least 30 days before. Using GuildNet after that means you accept the new terms.
