Terms of Service

// the service

Clause is a collaborative LaTeX editor: real-time co-editing, PDF compilation, AI assistance, agent access over MCP, and Google sign-in. By creating an account or using clause.studio you agree to these terms. Clause is currently a beta run by an independent developer: features may change, and occasional downtime or rough edges are part of the deal we are being upfront about.

// your account

• Provide accurate information and keep your credentials to yourself; you are responsible for activity under your account.
• You must be at least 13 years old to use Clause.

// your content

Everything you write or upload remains yours. You grant Clause only the limited license needed to operate the service: storing your files, compiling them to PDF, syncing them between you and the collaborators you invite, and processing them with features you invoke (such as the AI assistant or an AI agent you connect). We claim no other rights over your work, and this license ends for content you delete.

// acceptable use

• No unlawful content or use, and no content that infringes someone else’s rights.
• No attempts to break, overload, or probe the service, other users’ projects, or the compilation infrastructure.
• Academic responsibility is yours: Clause offers AI assistance and agent access, but how you use them must comply with your institution’s integrity rules.

// ai agents

You may connect an AI agent to your account through MCP. It acts with your account, on the projects you can open, within what you approved on the consent screen, and you are responsible for what it does there as you would be for any client you sign in with. What it sends to the AI provider is governed by that provider's terms, which Clause does not control. An agent cannot invite or remove people, or delete projects or groups; those stay in the Clause app. You can disconnect it at any time from your AI client, as described in our Privacy Policy.

// google sign-in

Signing in with Google is optional and governed by our Privacy Policy and by Google's own terms. Clause requests only your profile name, email, and avatar.

// disclaimers & liability

Clause is provided as is, free of charge, without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Clause and its developer are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, lost data, or lost profits arising from use of the service. Keep copies of work you cannot afford to lose. We take care, but we are a beta.

// termination

• You can stop using Clause and request account deletion at any time.
• We may suspend accounts that violate these terms.
• If the beta is ever discontinued, we will give reasonable notice so you can export your work.

// general

These terms are governed by the laws of Brazil. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Contact: admin@clause.studio.
