Terms of Service

Free-pi Terms of Service

Effective date: August 20, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of free-pi, including the free-pi-cli command-line interface, related websites, advertising features, and any related services (collectively, the “Service”). The Service is operated by DappHero Corp (“free-pi,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

free-pi provides an ad-supported and training-supported distribution of an AI coding agent. Advertising and the use of your sessions for training pay for the Service.

The Service sends your prompts and permitted context to one or more third-party AI model providers and returns model-generated responses. We may use many different providers and may change them at any time without notice. Each provider handles your data under its own terms and privacy practices. We make no warranty or promise about what a provider does with your prompts, context, or data, including whether it stores them, uses them for training, or keeps them private.

The Service is free to users, subject to usage limits, daily allowances, availability, abuse controls, and these Terms. We may revise the supported models, capabilities, limits, interface, or provider arrangements.

Alpha status. The Service is in alpha and testing. It may have defects, may change without notice, and may be unavailable at any time. We make no commitment about uptime, availability, response time, or continuity of the Service or of any daily allowance.

The Service may produce inaccurate, incomplete, insecure, or inappropriate responses. You are responsible for reviewing, testing, and deciding whether to use any response, code, command, or recommendation.

2. The Free, Ad-Supported Bargain

The Service is free because advertising and the use of your sessions for training help fund inference and operations.

Ads may appear as terminal banners, inline cards, or other clearly labeled placements in the terminal interface. Our technical and contractual promise is:

Ad content never enters the model’s context.

In other words, advertisements are rendered for you in the terminal interface and are not included in the prompts, context, or other inputs we send to the model.

You may not use technical measures to remove, conceal, disable, block, manipulate, or bypass the advertising, usage controls, or terminal harness in order to obtain inference or other Service benefits outside the intended experience.

The API is different. If you access the Service through our OpenAI-compatible API instead of free-pi-cli, there is no terminal to render a separate ad banner or card. Any sponsored content offered through the API appears inside the API's response content itself, labeled as sponsored or advertised, rather than as a separate terminal placement. The promise that ad content never enters the model's context applies to the terminal harness; it does not describe the API, where sponsored content, if present, is part of what the model returns to you.

3. Account and GitHub Authentication

Some features require authentication through GitHub’s OAuth device flow. You must provide accurate information and keep your account credentials secure.

We may collect and store your GitHub identifier, GitHub handle, and GitHub account creation date as described in our Privacy Policy. You may not share your account, allow others to use it, create accounts to evade limits, or otherwise attempt to obtain multiple allowances improperly.

You are responsible for activity occurring through your account. Notify us promptly at legal@freepi.ai if you believe your account has been compromised.

4. Your Content and Your Responsibilities

“Content” means prompts, source code, files, context, inputs, messages, and other material you provide to or that the Service reads or receives in connection with your use.

You retain any ownership rights you have in your Content. However, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, permissions, and authority necessary to submit Content to the Service and to grant the license below.

You must not submit Content that you are prohibited from sharing, including another person’s confidential information, trade secrets, credentials, protected personal information, or content subject to contractual or legal restrictions.

Because coding sessions can include source code, secrets, and personal information, you should take reasonable care when selecting files, directories, and context for the Service. We do our best to remove personal information from traces before we store them, but we cannot promise that a trace is perfectly clean. By using the Service you acknowledge this. Our Privacy Policy describes our handling of traces and security practices, but you should not use the Service for information you are not authorized to disclose.

5. License You Grant to free-pi

You own your outputs. You retain ownership of your Content and of the code, text, and other outputs generated for you through the Service. The license below is a permission to operate the Service, not a transfer of ownership.

To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service, you grant free-pi a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, analyze, and display your Content and the resulting session traces as reasonably necessary to provide the Service. This license is sublicensable only to the service providers we engage to deliver the Service (for example, our model, infrastructure, and analytics providers), and only for that purpose.

Training and data sharing. You grant free-pi permission to save your Content and the resulting session traces, and to use them to develop, train, evaluate, and improve models, tools, and related services, and to retain them for those purposes. We may also share or sell traces and related data to third parties, including for their own model training. Training and sharing are on by default and are part of the free, ad-supported bargain. Once you accept these Terms, there is no opt-out from training or sharing for Content you have already submitted or submit later, except where applicable law gives you a right that we must honor.

We will not claim ownership of your Content. We will use Content only as described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law and any rights the law gives you.

6. Sponsored Suggestions

We may in the future present a product or service suggestion for which an advertiser has paid for placement.

We will do our best to clearly label any such suggestion as sponsored or advertised, to make it distinguishable from ordinary model content, and to keep it optional. You may decline, dismiss, or ignore it. We will not require you to purchase, install, or use an advertised product or service to continue using the Service.

We will do our best to prevent sponsored suggestions from being presented in a deceptive way or as an undisclosed independent recommendation. Advertisers do not receive permission to access your prompts, model context, or session content merely because their content is shown to you.

7. Acceptable Use

You may use the Service only in compliance with these Terms and applicable law.

You may not, and may not help others to:

use the Service for illegal, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful activity;
submit content you lack permission to disclose;
attempt to bypass, disable, remove, block, manipulate, or circumvent the terminal harness, ads, authentication, usage limits, billing controls, or abuse protections;
access or consume model inference directly through an unauthorized API, proxy, reverse-engineered endpoint, or other unsupported method;
resell, distribute, sublicense, lease, provide, or commercially exploit access to the Service or its allowance;
share account credentials or allow another person to use your account;
create or use multiple accounts to evade caps or restrictions;
use bots, scripts, scraping, or automated systems to abuse the Service or consume disproportionate resources;
probe, scan, attack, interfere with, or compromise the Service, its providers, or another user’s account;
infringe intellectual property, privacy, confidentiality, or other rights; or
use the Service to create, facilitate, or disseminate malicious code, harmful attacks, or content prohibited by applicable law.

We may investigate violations and may suspend or terminate access, reduce allowances, delete affected content where appropriate, and cooperate with lawful requests.

8. Our Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, interface, branding, advertisements, documentation, and content we provide, is protected by intellectual-property laws and is owned by or licensed to free-pi and its licensors.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Service for its intended purpose.

“free-pi” and related marks belong to DappHero Corp. The pi coding agent and other third-party names belong to their respective owners. Nothing in these Terms grants permission to use our marks except as expressly permitted.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service may rely on third-party providers, including GitHub for authentication, OpenRouter and other model providers for inference, analytics providers, and advertising providers. Their services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.

We are not responsible for third-party services, their content, or their availability. Our Privacy Policy describes categories of providers and our data practices.

10. No Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FREE-PI DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, SECURITY, AND CONTINUOUS OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

We do not warrant that model responses are correct, secure, original, non-infringing, or suitable for any particular use. You must independently review and test all outputs before relying on them.

The Service is in alpha and testing. We do not guarantee that it will be available, uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, and we do not guarantee any level of uptime.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FREE-PI, ITS OWNER, PROVIDERS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED US$1. (The Service is free; you pay us nothing to use it.)

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so these limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless free-pi, its owner, providers, and licensors from claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from your Content, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

13. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time.

We may suspend or terminate access immediately if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created security or legal risk, abused the Service, or if doing so is necessary to protect users, providers, or the Service.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive—including the license, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute provisions—will survive.

14. Changes to the Service and Terms

We may change the Service or these Terms at any time, including without notice. We will usually update the effective date on this page, but we do not promise advance notice, in-Service notice, or any other notice of a change, including a material one. Check this page for the current Terms before you rely on them.

If you continue using the Service after the updated Terms become effective, you agree to the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict-of-law rules.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court, except that either party may bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court. You and free-pi each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.

Arbitration details. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The seat of arbitration is New York, New York, and a hearing, if any, may be held by video. Each party pays its own fees and costs except as the AAA rules provide otherwise. The arbitrator may award the same relief a court could award to the individual party, and may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@freepi.ai with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. State your GitHub handle. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. You and free-pi agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court, not in arbitration.

16. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement between you and free-pi regarding the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer our rights and obligations in connection with a merger, sale, reorganization, or transfer of assets.
