2. Description of Service
TapAuth provides an access gateway (the “Platform”) that enables authorized AI agents to access third-party services on behalf of users through stored OAuth credentials. The Services include token storage, delivery, lifecycle management, and related tools and APIs.
TapAuth acts as an intermediary that stores and serves OAuth tokens to AI agents that you have explicitly authorized. TapAuth does not control the third-party services you connect to through the Platform, and your use of those third-party services is subject to their respective terms and policies.
3. Account Terms
To use certain features of the Services, you must create an account. When creating an account, you agree to the following:
- Accurate Information. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and keep your account information up to date.
- Account Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately at security@tapauth.ai upon becoming aware of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.
- One Account per Entity. Each individual or legal entity may maintain only one account unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Account Responsibility. You are solely responsible for the actions of any AI agents you authorize through TapAuth, including any actions those agents take using OAuth tokens stored on the Platform.
4. API Usage
The Services may include APIs that allow you to interact with the Platform programmatically. Your use of the APIs is subject to the following terms:
- API Keys. API keys provided to you are confidential. You must not share, publish, or expose your API keys in client-side code, public repositories, or any other publicly accessible location.
- Rate Limits. We may impose rate limits on API usage. You agree to comply with any rate limits communicated through the API responses, documentation, or other notices. Excessive or abusive API usage may result in temporary or permanent restriction of your access.
- Fair Use. You agree to use the APIs in a manner consistent with their intended purpose and in compliance with these Terms, applicable law, and any applicable documentation.
- Security. You must not attempt to circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with any security features of the APIs or the Services.
5. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities in connection with the Services:
- Violating any applicable federal, state, local, or international law, regulation, or third-party right, including intellectual property, privacy, or data protection laws.
- Accessing or attempting to access accounts, systems, or data that you are not authorized to access, or obtaining or attempting to obtain credentials, tokens, or materials not intentionally made available to you.

6. Intellectual Property
The Services, including all content, features, functionality, software, code, designs, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Fullstack Connections, Inc. and its licensors. The Services are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws of the United States and foreign jurisdictions.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your internal purposes. This license does not include the right to modify, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works from, publicly display, or otherwise exploit the Services or any portion thereof, except as expressly permitted by these Terms.
You retain all rights in and to any data you submit to the Services (“Your Data”). By submitting Your Data to the Services, you grant us a limited license to use, process, and store Your Data solely as necessary to provide the Services to you.

7. Third-Party Services
The Services facilitate connections to third-party services (e.g., Google, GitHub) through the OAuth protocol. Your use of these third-party services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. TapAuth is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, or practices of any third-party service, and your interactions with third-party services are solely between you and the applicable third-party provider.
TapAuth does not endorse, warrant, or assume liability for any third-party service accessible through the Platform. You acknowledge that authorizing an AI agent to access a third-party service through TapAuth does not create any relationship between TapAuth and the third-party service provider beyond what is necessary for the OAuth token exchange.
8. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TAPAUTH DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
TAPAUTH DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. TAPAUTH DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED OR THAT THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.
TAPAUTH MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY AI AGENTS THAT ACCESS THIRD-PARTY SERVICES THROUGH THE PLATFORM, OR REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, OR FUNCTIONALITY OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TAPAUTH, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, USE, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF TAPAUTH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN FULL.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TapAuth and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your violation of any rights of a third party, including intellectual property rights or privacy rights; (d) the actions of any AI agents you authorize through the Platform; or (e) any dispute between you and a third party relating to the Services.

11. Termination
You may terminate your account and cease using the Services at any time by contacting us at legal@tapauth.ai.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, including, without limitation, if we reasonably believe that: (a) you have violated these Terms; (b) your use of the Services creates risk or liability for us, our users, or third parties; or (c) your account has been inactive for an extended period. Where practicable, we will provide you with reasonable notice prior to termination.
Upon termination, your right to access and use the Services will immediately cease. We will delete your stored OAuth tokens and associated grant records in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Sections 6 (Intellectual Property), 8 (Disclaimers), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), 12 (Governing Law), and 14 (General Provisions) shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.
12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in the State of Delaware or, at the election of either party, by videoconference. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND TAPAUTH AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information.
13. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of these Terms.
Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any modified Terms constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must discontinue your use of the Services.
We encourage you to review these Terms periodically for any changes.
14. General Provisions
