Terms of Service
Last updated: September 18, 2026
Welcome to Cloudy. These terms govern your use of the Cloudy website, desktop app, command-line tool, mobile app, editor extension and chat service (together, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Cloudy.
1. What Cloudy is
Cloudy is an AI chat interface and a coding agent. Responses and actions are produced by third-party AI models that we route your messages to. Cloudy is free: there is one plan, the same for every account, funded by the sponsor banners shown next to the chat (section 5).
2. Accounts
- You can create an account with an email address and password, or by signing in with Apple, Google, Microsoft or GitHub.
- You must provide accurate information and keep your credentials safe.
- You are responsible for activity that happens under your account.
- One person or entity per account. Tell us right away at the address below if you suspect unauthorized use.
- Signed-in devices (the desktop app, the CLI, the browser, the phone) hold a long-lived device token. You can sign a device out at any time, which revokes that token.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to use Cloudy to:
- break any law or the rights of anyone else;
- generate or share content that is hateful, harassing, sexually explicit involving minors, or that promotes violence;
- spread malware, spam, or disinformation;
- attempt to identify or re-identify individuals from data you don't have the right to process;
- probe, scan, or attack the Service's infrastructure, or circumvent usage limits and quotas (including by creating accounts to multiply them);
- resell access to the Service without written permission.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules. If your use of the Service risks harm to others or to the Service, we can act immediately.
4. The coding agent, and your machine
The desktop app, the CLI and the editor extension can read and edit files and run commands in a folder you choose, and nothing outside it. Commands are shown to you for approval before they run unless you deliberately grant the agent a higher access level, and you can revoke that at any time. You are responsible for reviewing what the agent proposes before you approve it, for the state of your own repository, and for anything you deploy afterwards.
You may also drive a running agent session from another device of yours (for example, approving a step from your phone). That relay carries only your own session data, is off by default on the machine running the agent, and uses the same account and device tokens as the rest of the Service.
5. No subscriptions, no payment
Cloudy is free to use. There are no subscriptions, no checkout, no renewals, no paid tier, and no payment method on file — we never ask a user for a card. The Service is funded by clearly-labelled sponsor banners next to the chat and by advertisers buying prepaid campaign credits through our advertiser portal. Nothing a user does is ever billed, and advertisers never see your conversations.
6. Usage limits
Without an account you can send 3 messages in total to try the Service. That trial does not renew.
With a free account you get 25 messages a day and 70 coding-agent credits a day, resetting at 00:00 UTC. One agent turn costs several credits depending on which model you choose — a cheap model costs a couple, the frontier model costs twenty — so your daily credits go further on cheaper models. Limits apply per account, are shared across every surface and device, and exist to keep the Service free for everyone.
We may change allowances, model prices, models, rate limits, or availability at any time, including to respond to abuse, cost changes, or upstream model provider changes.
7. AI output
AI models make mistakes. Cloudy can produce incorrect, incomplete, or offensive output, and it does not constitute professional advice of any kind (medical, legal, financial, or otherwise). You are responsible for how you use output — verify anything important before relying on it. Don't use the Service where failure could lead to death, personal injury, or physical or environmental damage.
8. Your content
You keep ownership of what you write and upload (“Your Content”). You give us a limited license to process it as needed to operate the Service — for example, sending your message to the model you picked so it can reply. We don't sell Your Content and we don't use it to train AI models. See the Privacy Policy for details.
9. Our content and marks
The Cloudy name, mascot, design, and code are owned by Cloudy or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the Service as intended. Nothing else is licensed by implication.
10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cloudy and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Because Cloudy is free and we charge you nothing, our total liability for any claim is limited to USD $50.
11. Termination
You can stop using Cloudy and delete your account at any time. We can suspend or terminate the Service or your access for violations of these terms, legal requirements, or extended inactivity, with notice where practical.
12. Changes
We may update these terms as the Service evolves. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use Cloudy after that means you accept the updated terms.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Small claims and injunctive relief for IP misuse are exempt from the following: disputes will be resolved individually by arbitration or a competent court — no class actions.
