Terms of Service

Last updated: March 24, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Kapow ("we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the Kapow application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, installing the application, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.


1. Definitions

  • Service - The Kapow application, website (gokapow.com), and all related features, tools, and services.
  • User - Any individual or entity that creates an account or uses the Service.
  • Subscription - A paid plan granting access to the Service's features.
  • Agent - An AI-powered assistant configured within the Service to perform tasks on the User's behalf.
  • Content - Any data, text, files, tasks, configurations, or other materials created, uploaded, or processed through the Service.

2. Relationship to Anthropic Services

This section is important. Please read it carefully.

2.1 Claude Subscription Required

Kapow requires either a Claude Pro or Max subscription, or an Anthropic API key, to function. The cost of your Claude subscription or API usage is separate from and in addition to your Kapow subscription.

2.2 Not Affiliated with Anthropic

Kapow is not developed by, affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, PBC. Kapow is an independent product that extends Claude Code's capabilities.

2.3 How Kapow Uses Claude

Kapow orchestrates AI agents by calling the official Claude CLI binary installed on your machine. Kapow does not extract, intercept, store, or redirect your Claude credentials or authentication tokens.

2.4 Anthropic's Terms Apply

Your use of Claude through Kapow is subject to Anthropic's Terms of Service:

  • Pro/Max plans: Anthropic Consumer Terms
  • API keys: Anthropic Commercial Terms

You are responsible for ensuring your Claude usage complies with Anthropic's terms, including their Acceptable Use Policy.

2.5 Precedence

If there is a conflict between these Terms and Anthropic's Terms regarding Claude usage, Anthropic's Terms prevail for matters related to the AI model, its outputs, and data processing. These Terms govern the Kapow orchestration layer, UI, team management, and additional features we provide.

5. Nature of the Service

5.1 What Kapow Does

Kapow is an advanced AI agent orchestration layer built on top of Claude Code. It provides team management, task tracking, approval workflows, agent memory, and other features that extend Claude's capabilities for managing multiple AI agents.

5.2 Local-First Architecture

Kapow runs locally on your machine. Your agent data, tasks, knowledge base, credentials, and all operational data remain on your device. We do not have access to this data.

5.3 Agent Permissions and Access

Users configure agents and grant them access to systems, files, credentials, APIs, and other resources. Due to the local-first architecture:

  • We cannot restrict, monitor, or control what permissions you grant to agents.
  • We have no ability to observe, limit, or intervene in agent actions on your machine.
  • We cannot see what credentials you share with agents or what systems they access.

You accept full and sole responsibility for all permissions granted to agents and all actions agents take as a result.

5.4 Advanced Tool Disclaimer

Kapow enables agents to perform powerful actions including running shell commands, editing files, accessing APIs, browsing the web, and interacting with external services. These capabilities carry inherent risk. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you understand these capabilities and accept the associated risks.


6. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

  • All actions taken by agents you create, configure, or approve through the Service, whether intended or not
  • All credentials and system access you provide to agents
  • Supervising agent behavior and reviewing agent plans before approving execution
  • Maintaining adequate backups of any data or systems that agents can access
  • Compliance with your organization's security policies when using the Service in a business context
  • Compliance with Anthropic's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy
  • Ensuring your Claude subscription permits your intended usage pattern
  • All Content you create, upload, or process through the Service
  • Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations

7. AI Disclaimer

AI agents powered by large language models can and will make mistakes. Consistent with Anthropic's own disclosures:

  • Outputs may not always be accurate and may contain material inaccuracies even if they appear accurate because of their level of detail or specificity.
  • Actions may not be error-free or operate as you intended.
  • You should not rely on any outputs or actions without independently confirming their accuracy.

Additionally:

  • Agents may misinterpret instructions or take unintended actions
  • Agents may modify, delete, or overwrite data unintentionally
  • Agents may interact with external services in ways you did not anticipate
  • Agent performance depends on the underlying AI model, which we do not control

Do not grant agents access to systems, credentials, or data you cannot afford to have disrupted, modified, or exposed.


8. Data Ownership and Privacy

8.1 Your Data

You own all Content you create through the Service. We claim no ownership or license over your data, tasks, agent configurations, knowledge base, or any other Content.

8.2 Local Data

All operational data (agents, tasks, knowledge base, credentials, memories, files) stays on your machine. We do not access, collect, read, or process this data.

8.3 Data We Process

The only data that leaves your machine in connection with Kapow:

  • License validation requests (license key, account email)
  • Authentication tokens
  • Anonymous usage metrics (feature usage patterns, not content)
  • Crash reports (opt-in)

8.4 Claude Data

When agents interact with Claude, your prompts and outputs are transmitted to Anthropic and processed according to Anthropic's Privacy Policy. This data flow is between your machine and Anthropic - Kapow does not intercept, store, or process it. See our Privacy Policy for details.


9. Third-Party Services

9.1 Integrations

The Service integrates with third-party services including but not limited to Anthropic (Claude), GitHub, and others. Each third-party service is governed by its own terms of service and privacy policy.

9.2 Third-Party Changes

We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, performance, or pricing of third-party services. Changes to third-party services - including Anthropic's pricing, features, rate limits, or terms - may affect Kapow functionality. We are not liable for such changes.

9.3 No Third-Party Endorsement

Integration with a third-party service does not imply endorsement by or affiliation with that service provider.
