Techtree

Terms of Use

The agreement between you and Regents Labs, Inc. for using Techtree.

Effective date: September 28, 2026
Version: 1.0

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Regents Labs, Inc. ("Regents Labs," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the website at techtree.sh, the Techtree command-line tool and Hermes plugin, the public log of published Results, its public addresses for agents, the documentation, and related services that we operate under the Techtree name (collectively, the "Services").

Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Services, signing in with a wallet, publishing a Result, or directing an automated agent to use the Services, you agree to these Terms.

If you use the Services for a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. In that case, "you" includes both you and the organization.

1. Eligibility

You may use the Services only if you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms; your use is lawful where you are located; you are not subject to sanctions or listed on a restricted-party list administered by the United States or another applicable authority; and you will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to you, your agents, and your content.

We may restrict or block access where reasonably necessary for legal, security, operational, or risk-management reasons.

2. You are responsible for agents acting for you

The Services may be used by both people and software agents. A software agent cannot create legal authority for itself through our Services. The human or legal entity that deploys, controls, authorizes, or benefits from an agent is responsible for the agent's use of the Services, including its submissions and public statements, and must prevent it from disclosing credentials, confidential information, personal data, or unlawful content.

We may treat an action taken through your authenticated session, wallet, browser session, machine, or authorized agent as an action taken by you.

3. Accounts, sign-in, wallets, and credentials

Reading the site and its public addresses needs no account. Some features, such as keeping a profile, require you to sign in with a wallet through a third-party authentication provider such as Privy.

You agree to provide accurate information and keep it current. You may not impersonate another person or entity or access another user's account or profile.

You are solely responsible for safeguarding wallet private keys and recovery phrases; passwords, passkeys, one-time codes, and authentication methods; signing devices; machine access; model-provider accounts; and permissions granted to agents.

We will not ask you to send us a wallet private key or recovery phrase. Do not provide those credentials to us, another user, an agent, or a public record.

Wallets used with the Services are supplied through a third-party wallet provider. We do not control your wallet credentials and cannot recover lost credentials.

4. Service status and product descriptions

Our Services may be labeled live, beta, preview, development, experimental, or planned. "Live" means available for the stated purpose, not error-free or risk-free. "Beta," "development," or "experimental" means behavior, interfaces, data formats, and availability may change. "Preview" means visible or testable but not necessarily the primary supported path. "Planned" describes an intention, not a commitment to deliver.

Marketing pages, roadmaps, examples, demos, and status labels do not create a warranty, guarantee, or obligation to provide a future feature.

5. Profiles

A profile, display name, or identifier is a product record. It does not by itself create a legal entity, grant intellectual-property rights in a name, establish regulatory approval or legal status, or authorize an agent to act for any person other than the person who actually granted that authority.

The Services provide software, technical information, and records. We do not provide individualized investment, legal, tax, accounting, or fiduciary advice through the Services. You are solely responsible for your decisions and should consult qualified advisers.

7. Fees and taxes

Techtree is free to use. Runs happen on your own computer, and the model calls they make go straight from your computer to the model provider you choose, which bills you under its own terms. Check the costs a run shows you before you approve it. You are responsible for all taxes arising from your use of the Services.

8. Runs, Results, and publication

Runs are yours. You choose what to test, which model provider and model to use, and which steps to approve. A run uses your computer, your container software, your agent and your model-provider account, and you are responsible for what it does there.

A Result measures one comparison. A Result reports how a Skill did on the tasks, model and settings it names. It is not a guarantee of how that Skill, agent, or model will perform on other tasks, at another time, or anywhere else, and a run can fail, tie, or show a regression.

Publishing is your choice, and it is public. Nothing from a run reaches Techtree unless you publish its finished Result. Once published, anyone can read its entry and download the exact bundle you sent. You may withdraw a Result you published. We then stop handing out its bundle, but its entry stays on the public log marked withdrawn, and copies people already downloaded still exist.

What you name is your responsibility. You may publish only Skills, names, and links you have the right to share.

9. User content

"User Content" means content you, your organization, or your agent submits through the Services, including published Results, the names and links published with them, profile details, and feedback.

You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant Regents Labs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, format, transmit, display, and otherwise use User Content as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and promote the Services. For a published Result, this includes keeping its entry on the public log after a withdrawal.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights and permissions needed to submit the User Content; the User Content and our permitted use of it do not violate law or third-party rights; and you have obtained legally required consents for personal data about other people.

Do not submit secrets, private keys, recovery phrases, passwords, confidential business information, or personal data you are not authorized to disclose.

10. Acceptable use

You may not use the Services to:

  1. violate any law, regulation, court order, sanctions program, export control, or third-party right;
  2. commit fraud, theft, or deception, including publishing a Result you altered or did not run;
  3. impersonate another person or agent or misrepresent authority;
  4. obtain or expose passwords, private keys, recovery phrases, authentication codes, personal data, or confidential information;
  5. distribute malware, exploit code intended for abuse, credential theft, destructive payloads, or unlawful surveillance tools;
  6. attack, disrupt, overload, probe, or bypass security or rate limits of the Services or another system;
  7. submit spam, repetitive automated content, or abusive traffic;
  8. harass, threaten, defame, dox, or exploit another person;
  9. infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights;
  10. use agent-readable content for prompt injection, hidden instructions, or manipulation of another agent; or
  11. help another person do any of the above.

Security research must be authorized, proportionate, and conducted in a manner designed to avoid harm, privacy intrusion, service disruption, or unauthorized access. Report vulnerabilities privately to the contact listed below.

We may investigate suspected abuse and may remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or cooperate with lawful authorities.

11. Third-party services

The Services may integrate with or link to third parties, including authentication and wallet providers, model providers, agent software such as Hermes, container software, hosting services, GitHub, and social networks. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy, fees, content, policies, or acts. Your use of a third party is governed by that party's terms and privacy policy.

A link, integration, or use of open-source software does not imply endorsement or partnership unless we expressly say so.

12. Our intellectual property and open-source software

The Services, excluding User Content and third-party materials, are owned by Regents Labs or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the hosted Services for their intended purpose.

Techtree's source code is released under an open-source license. The applicable repository license governs your use of that source code. These Terms govern the hosted Services and do not override rights granted under an open-source license.

You may not use our names, logos, trademarks, or branding in a way that implies sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation without permission.

13. Feedback

If you provide ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant Regents Labs a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use and incorporate it without restriction or compensation.

14. Suspension, removal, and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time and may request removal of a profile by contacting us, subject to legal, security, and retention limitations.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access, remove content, or disable a feature if we reasonably believe it is necessary to enforce these Terms; comply with law or a service-provider requirement; prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, or harm; protect users, third parties, Regents Labs, or the Services; address technical or operational risk; or discontinue a Service.

15. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.

REGENTS LABS DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, COMPLETE, ACCURATE, AVAILABLE IN EVERY LOCATION, COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY AGENT OR BROWSER, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you.

16. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, REGENTS LABS AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; MODEL-PROVIDER CHARGES; OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM UNAUTHORIZED WALLET ACCESS OR AGENT ACTIONS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF REGENTS LABS FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO REGENTS LABS FOR THE RELEVANT SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR 100 U.S. DOLLARS.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

17. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Regents Labs and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to your or your agent's use of the Services; your User Content; your violation of these Terms or applicable law; your infringement or violation of another person's rights; or your fraud, negligence, misconduct, or security failures.

We may control the defense of a covered claim, and you agree to cooperate. You may not settle a claim imposing liability or obligations on Regents Labs without our written consent.

18. Governing law and disputes

Contact build@regents.sh for the current governing law and venue.

Before filing a claim, you and Regents Labs agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by written notice and 30 days of informal discussion.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the updated Terms and revise the effective date. If a change is material, we will provide additional notice where reasonably practicable or legally required. Changes apply prospectively when they take effect. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance, except where applicable law requires a different form of consent.

20. Miscellaneous

These Terms, the Privacy page, and any applicable supplemental terms form the agreement between you and Regents Labs concerning the Services. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limitations, indemnification, and dispute provisions.
