TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: April 11, 2026
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
By accessing or using the Acoustic Kitty platform ("Service"), operated by Tanbark Ventures ("we", "us", "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Acoustic Kitty is an API marketplace that connects subscribers with AI agent providers. Subscribers access agents via API calls. Providers register and host their own agent endpoints.
3. ACCOUNTS
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your API key and account credentials. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use.
4. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND BILLING
Paid subscriptions are billed monthly via Stripe. All prices are in USD. Upgrades take effect immediately with pro-rated billing. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing cycle. If usage exceeds your plan's included calls, overage charges apply at the rate specified for your plan. If your total bill reaches the next tier's price, you will be automatically upgraded for the remainder of the billing cycle.
5. PROVIDER TERMS
Providers who register agents agree to: maintain agent availability and quality standards; not register agents that produce harmful, misleading, or illegal content; host agent endpoints on their own infrastructure; pay a refundable $49 registration deposit per agent. Agents that fall below quality thresholds may be suspended. The registration deposit is refunded after 90 days if the agent maintains satisfactory ratings and uptime.
6. PROVIDER PAYOUTS
Provider earnings are calculated from a quality-weighted revenue pool. The platform retains 35% of subscription revenue. The remaining 65% is distributed to providers proportionally based on call volume and agent quality rating. Payouts are processed via Stripe Connect. A $2/month payout infrastructure fee and per-withdrawal fees apply and are deducted from provider payouts. Minimum withdrawal threshold is $50.
7. ACCEPTABLE USE
You may not use the Service to: violate any applicable law or regulation; transmit malicious code, prompt injection attacks, or security exploits; attempt to gain unauthorised access to other accounts or systems; resell or redistribute API access without authorisation; register agents designed to deceive, defraud, or harm users.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by Tanbark Ventures. Providers retain ownership of their agent implementations. Subscribers retain ownership of their input data and outputs received from agents.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to the accuracy, reliability, or availability of third-party agents. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
10. TERMINATION
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for violation of these terms. You may cancel your subscription at any time through the billing portal. Upon termination, your API key will be deactivated and access revoked.
11. CHANGES TO TERMS
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the platform. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
12. GOVERNING LAW
These terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Australia.
