Legal
Terms of Service
Effective date: October 10, 2026
Short version: these Terms are a binding agreement between you and Nodeon, reachable at support@nodeon.app. They cover nodeon.app, the web and mobile app, the MCP server, and related services (the “Service”).
Please read Section 16. It requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration and waives class actions and jury trials.
1. Agreement
By creating an account, connecting an agent, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you use the Service for a company, you confirm you can bind that company, and “you” includes it. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to use the Service. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we delete accounts we learn belong to them.
3. What Nodeon is
Nodeon is a planning tool. You map an app as connected nodes, and Nodeon produces planning outputs from that map, such as CLAUDE.md files, cursor rules, spec sheets, task sequences, and reference material (“Outputs”). Third-party AI coding agents can read and update your map through our MCP server.
Nodeon does not write, run, test, host, or deploy your code. Any code is produced by tools you choose, under their own terms. We may add, change, or remove features at any time.
4. Accounts
You sign in with GitHub or an emailed one-time code. Keep your GitHub account and email secure. You’re responsible for all activity under your account, including activity by agents you connect. Tell us at support@nodeon.app right away if you suspect unauthorized access.
5. Connected AI agents
When you connect an agent (for example Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Windsurf) through MCP, you authorize it to read and change your projects on your behalf. That includes marking tasks complete, adding or deleting nodes and dependencies, and flagging blockers.
You are solely responsible for every action a connected agent takes, whether or not you intended it. We are not responsible for the behavior, outputs, errors, or terms of any third-party agent or model. You can revoke an agent’s access at any time with its disconnect command or by emailing us.
6. Plans, billing, and renewal
Plans. We offer a free plan and paid plans. Features, limits (such as project, node, and AI edit allowances), and prices are shown on our pricing page and may change under this section.
Auto-renewal. Paid plans are monthly subscriptions that renew automatically each month on your billing date, charged to your payment method through Stripe, until you cancel. You authorize these recurring charges.
Cancellation. Cancel any time from your dashboard. Cancellation stops the next renewal; you keep paid features until the end of the current billing month. Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.
Price changes. We’ll email you at least 30 days before a price change applies to your subscription. The new price applies from your next billing date after that notice. If you don’t want it, cancel before then.
Taxes. Prices exclude taxes unless stated. You pay any applicable taxes.
Failed payments. If a payment fails, we may downgrade or suspend your paid features until it’s resolved.
7. Fair use
“Unlimited” features (such as agent calls and projects on paid plans) are subject to fair use: normal use by one person or team building their own projects. We may throttle, limit, or suspend use that is automated beyond normal agent activity, resold, shared across unrelated users, or that degrades the Service for others. We’ll try to contact you first.
8. Your content
You own the projects, nodes, specs, and other material you put into the Service (“Your Content”). You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, transmit, and display Your Content only as needed to run, secure, and improve the Service, including sending it to our AI and infrastructure providers. We don’t sell Your Content or use it to train AI models.
You confirm you have the rights to Your Content and that it doesn’t violate law or anyone’s rights.
9. Outputs and the Reference Library
Outputs. Subject to these Terms, you may use Outputs for any lawful purpose, including commercial projects. Outputs are generated partly by AI and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or similar to outputs given to others. You are responsible for reviewing Outputs and everything you or your agents build from them.
Reference Library. Reference Library entries are either written by Nodeon or adapted from open-source projects listed on our Open Source Licenses page. Open-source entries stay under their original licenses, which govern your use of that code; keep their copyright notices when you copy them. For the rest (our selection and arrangement of the library, our spec sheets, and Nodeon-original entries), we grant paid users a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use them inside their own projects. You may not scrape, export in bulk, resell, or redistribute the Reference Library as a collection, or use it to build a competing collection.
10. Acceptable use
You won’t:
- break any law or use the Service to plan illegal, harmful, or fraudulent software
- infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy
- upload malware or try to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our providers
- scrape, reverse engineer, or copy the Service or its Outputs to build a competing product
- get around plan limits, metering, or billing, including with multiple free accounts
- resell or sublicense access without our written permission
- overload or disrupt the Service
11. Our property and feedback
We and our licensors own the Service, the Nodeon name and logo, our selection and arrangement of the Reference Library, our spec sheets and original entries, and all related software and content. Open-source code in the Reference Library belongs to its authors and is used under their licenses. These Terms don’t transfer any of it to you. If you send feedback or ideas, we can use them freely with no obligation to you.
12. Copyright complaints
We respond to notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Send notices to support@nodeon.app with the subject “DMCA Notice” and the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). We terminate repeat infringers.
13. Suspension and termination
You can stop using the Service at any time, and delete your account by emailing support@nodeon.app. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, create legal or security risk, file a chargeback, fail to pay, or if we stop offering the Service. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we’ll give at least 30 days’ notice where possible and a way to export Your Content.
Sections 8 (license to the extent needed to wind down), 9, 11, and 14 through 18 survive termination.
14. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. WE DON’T WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DATA WON’T BE LOST, OR THAT OUTPUTS OR ANYTHING BUILT FROM THEM WILL WORK, BE SECURE, OR MEET YOUR NEEDS. YOU USE AI OUTPUTS AND THIRD-PARTY AGENTS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
15. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW: (A) WE WON’T BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR US $50.
These limits apply to every theory of liability and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some places don’t allow certain limits, so some may not apply to you.
16. Disputes and arbitration
Talk to us first. Before filing any claim, email support@nodeon.app with a description and give us 30 days to resolve it.
Binding arbitration. If we can’t resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by final, binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, held remotely or in New York County, New York. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, or seek an injunction in court for intellectual property infringement or misuse of the Service.
Class action and jury waiver. CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY INDIVIDUALLY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
Opt-out. You can opt out of arbitration by emailing support@nodeon.app within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your account email.
If the class waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim goes to court and the rest of this section stays in effect.
17. Indemnity
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Nodeon, its owners, members, and contractors from any claims, losses, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service or Outputs, actions of agents you connect, software you build, or your breach of these Terms or the law.
18. General
Governing law. New York law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to Section 16, courts in New York County, New York have exclusive jurisdiction.
Changes. We may update these Terms. For material changes we’ll update the effective date and email active users at least 14 days before they apply. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept them.
Other. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Refund Policy are the entire agreement. If any part is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a term isn’t a waiver. You can’t transfer these Terms without our consent; we can transfer them in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We’re not liable for delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Notices to you go to your account email.
