typed Terms of Service

Effective date: 2026-05-11

1. Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Yaw Labs LLC ("Yaw Labs," "we," "us," "our"), a Delaware limited liability company. By creating an account, accessing, or using typed (the "Service") at typed.cloud, app.typed.cloud, api.typed.cloud, status.typed.cloud, or any related interface, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to both you individually and that organization.

These Terms incorporate by reference:

  • The typed Acceptable Use Policy at typed.cloud/aup (the "AUP").
  • The typed Privacy Policy at typed.cloud/privacy.

You agree to both as a condition of using the Service.

2. Description of the Service

typed is an AI CLI -- a drop-in replacement for Claude Code -- backed by an Anthropic-API-compatible inference endpoint at api.typed.cloud plus a customer dashboard at app.typed.cloud. The Service includes prompt caching, customer-managed API keys, monthly subscription billing, and per-token overage top-ups. typed is tuned end-to-end for coding workflows; general chat and creative-writing use cases are not the design target. The Service is intended for use with Claude Code, Cursor, the typed CLI, or any other Anthropic-API-compatible client.

We offer the Service across five tiers. Solo tiers (Starter, Pro, Max) operate as pure routing -- your local client handles codebase context. Team tiers (Team, Team Max) additionally offer server-side hosted codebase indexing as an opt-in feature: by subscribing to a Team-class tier, you authorize the upload, storage, embedding, and retrieval of source code you choose to upload via the dashboard or codebases API. See Privacy Policy §3.3 and §3.3a for the data-handling specifics, including retention, deletion paths, and cross-border treatment.

typed routes inference requests through third-party AI providers, as described in our Privacy Policy §5. We may change the underlying providers from time to time as the AI landscape evolves; provider selection is part of the Service.

3. Account and Eligibility

3.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use typed. If you are between 16 and 18 (or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may use the Service only with parental or legal-guardian consent.

You may not use typed if you are located in, or are a national or resident of, any country or region subject to comprehensive United States economic sanctions, or if you are on a U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

3.2 Account creation

Sign-up uses email + magic-link authentication. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information.
  • Maintain the accuracy of your account information.
  • Not share your account credentials.
  • Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account at security@typed.cloud.

3.3 API keys

The Service issues API keys for programmatic access. You agree to:

  • Keep your API keys confidential.
  • Not embed API keys in client-side code, public repositories, or other locations where third parties could obtain them.
  • Treat API key compromise as a security incident and revoke + reissue immediately.
  • Not transfer, sell, or distribute API keys to third parties (per AUP §2.5).

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and API keys.

4. Subscriptions, Billing, and Top-ups

4.1 Subscription tiers

We offer monthly and annual subscription tiers (Starter, Pro, Max) with the prices and capacities described at typed.cloud/pricing. There is no free tier. Subscription is required before API keys are issued.

Tier capacity is denominated in monthly usage equivalent to Anthropic's published tier capacities; technical detail (token-level breakdown, comparison methodology) is available at typed.cloud/pricing/details.

4.2 Billing

Billing is processed by Lemonsqueezy (lemonsqueezy.com), an authorized payment processor. We do not store credit card details. By subscribing, you authorize Lemonsqueezy to charge your payment method for the subscription fees and any top-up purchases.

Subscriptions renew automatically on the same day each month (for monthly plans) or each year (for annual plans) until you cancel. You authorize recurring charges at the then-current rate at each renewal.

4.3 Top-ups

Top-ups are one-time purchases that extend your usage capacity past your monthly subscription quota. Top-up rates and expiry are described at typed.cloud/pricing. Top-ups are non-refundable once purchased (see §5 below).

4.4 Taxes

Fees do not include applicable taxes (sales tax, VAT, GST, etc.). You are responsible for all such taxes. Lemonsqueezy may collect taxes on our behalf in jurisdictions where required.

4.5 Failed payments

If a payment fails (insufficient funds, expired card, etc.), we may retry the payment, suspend service, or terminate the account at our discretion. You will receive notification of payment failures via the email on file. You remain responsible for fees accrued before suspension.

5. Refund Policy

All sales are final. This applies to:

  • Monthly and annual subscription fees.
  • Top-up purchases.
  • Renewal charges (you may cancel a subscription before the next renewal to avoid future charges; the current period is not refunded).

We process discretionary refunds at our sole judgment for the following cases:

  • Billing bug on our side: double-charged, charged after a confirmed cancellation, charged for a plan you did not select.
  • Service unavailable when you tried to use it: extended outage during your paid period (we recommend checking status.typed.cloud history to confirm).
  • Other clear errors on our side.

To request a discretionary refund, email support@typed.cloud within 30 days of the charge. We will respond within 1 business day and process refunds via Lemonsqueezy when judged appropriate.

Downgrades and cancellations are forward-only. When you cancel a subscription, the current paid period is served normally with no proration; the cancellation takes effect at the next renewal.

Top-up purchases are non-refundable in all cases because top-up balance is immediately consumable and a refund-after-use creates an abuse vector.

This policy is explained plainly on the migration onboarding page at typed.cloud/migrate.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to comply with the typed Acceptable Use Policy at typed.cloud/aup, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The AUP includes:

  • Prohibited content categories (CSAM, military, ITAR, HIPAA, election manipulation, spam/malware, etc.).
  • Flow-down restrictions from upstream model providers (no reverse-engineering, no using outputs to train competing AI, no developing competing applications without authorization, no buying/selling API keys).
  • Account use restrictions.
  • Cooperation with abuse response.

Violations may result in account suspension or termination per §11 below, without refund.

7. Customer Content and Data

7.1 Your content remains yours

You retain all intellectual property rights in:

  • Prompts you submit to the Service (including any source-code excerpts your client includes in a prompt).
  • Responses generated for your account.
  • Output you derive from the Service.
  • Codebases you upload (Team / Team Max only): source files you upload via the dashboard or POST /v1/codebases/{id}/files for hosted indexing remain your intellectual property; we hold them only for the purpose of providing the hosted-indexing feature you have subscribed to.

We claim no ownership of your content.

7.2 License to operate the Service

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to:

  • Receive, process, and route your prompts through our infrastructure and the third-party providers described in our Privacy Policy.
  • Generate, return, and (per §3.4 of our Privacy Policy) optionally retain responses for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
  • Team / Team Max only: store, chunk, embed, retrieve, and inject relevant snippets from codebases you upload, for the purpose of providing the hosted-indexing feature you have subscribed to (per Privacy Policy §3.3a). This license is scoped to the duration of your active Team / Team Max subscription plus the 30-day post-cancellation grace described in §11.4.

This license is limited to what is operationally necessary to provide the Service.

7.3 No training on your content

We do not train AI models on your prompts or responses. Our OpenRouter account is configured for Zero Data Retention and routing limited to providers with contractual no-training-on-prompts policies (see Privacy Policy §5.3). If we ever introduce optional training-based features, they will be opt-in only.

7.4 Responsibility for your content

You represent that you have all rights necessary for the content you submit (intellectual property, privacy, consent, etc.). You will not submit content for which submitting to the Service would violate third-party rights.

You acknowledge that AI-generated output may resemble third-party works in ways that are difficult to predict. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying outputs before using them in ways where rights compliance matters.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Our IP

The Service, including all software, documentation, designs, trademarks, and content other than customer content, is the property of Yaw Labs or our licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of our intellectual property to you, other than the limited right to use the Service as provided here.

The names "typed," "Yaw Labs," and our logos are trademarks of Yaw Labs LLC. You may not use them without our prior written consent, except in factual references (e.g., "I use typed for coding").

8.2 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or compensation. We are not obligated to act on feedback.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service depends on third-party services described in our Privacy Policy §5. We are not responsible for the availability, performance, or content of those services. Your use of the Service is subject to their terms to the extent they apply to your use.

You acknowledge that:

  • Service availability depends on the availability of OpenRouter Inc. (US) and the underlying model providers it routes to on our behalf: MiniMax (Shanghai Xiyu Information Technology Co. Ltd.; operator of MiniMax M2.1; infrastructure in mainland China), DeepSeek (operator of DeepSeek V4 Flash; infrastructure in mainland China), and Moonshot AI PTE. LTD. (operator of Kimi K2.5; Singapore-registered, infrastructure that includes mainland China routing depending on operator deployment). Outages or service changes at any of those providers may affect the Service.
  • Lemonsqueezy is the payment processor.
  • AWS hosts our infrastructure and sends transactional email (AWS SES).

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor and route around third-party service issues (see §13 below on the SLO), but we cannot guarantee that third-party service issues will not affect the Service.

10. Privacy and Data Handling

Our handling of personal data is described in the typed Privacy Policy at typed.cloud/privacy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Key facts referenced here (in addition to the full Privacy Policy):

  • Cross-border data transfer. Your prompts (including any source-code excerpts your client includes) may be processed in the United States (typed + OpenRouter + AWS), mainland China (MiniMax and DeepSeek infrastructure), and Singapore + potentially mainland China (Moonshot AI infrastructure). By accepting these Terms, you consent to this cross-border data transfer under GDPR Article 49.1.a (for EEA customers) or analogous frameworks (for customers in other regulated jurisdictions).
  • Zero data retention by upstream providers. Our OpenRouter account is configured to use only providers that contractually agree to not retain prompts or train on them. See Privacy Policy §5.3.
  • No training on customer content. See §7.3 above and Privacy Policy §4.

If cross-border transfer to China is unacceptable for your use case, do not use typed for that work. We do not offer an EU-routing-only tier in v0.

11. Suspension and Termination

11.1 Suspension by us

We may suspend your account, specific API keys, or specific endpoints if:

  • We receive a credible abuse report (per AUP §5).
  • You violate these Terms or the AUP.
  • Your payment fails (per §4.5).
  • Required by an upstream provider's terms or by law.
  • We reasonably suspect security compromise of your account.

Suspensions may take effect immediately and without prior notice for serious violations (CSAM, security threats, etc.).

11.2 Termination by us

We may terminate your account for material or repeated violations of these Terms or the AUP, for non-payment, or as required by law. Termination is at our reasonable discretion. We will provide notice via email to the address on file, except where immediate termination is justified.

11.3 Termination by you

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the dashboard at app.typed.cloud. Cancellation takes effect at the next renewal; the current paid period is served normally with no proration (see §5).

11.4 Effect of termination

Upon termination:

  • Your access to the Service ends.
  • API keys are revoked.
  • Account email + auth metadata is retained for 90 days (per Privacy Policy §7), then deleted. You may request immediate deletion by emailing privacy@typed.cloud.
  • Uploaded codebases (Team / Team Max only): retained for a 30-day post-cancellation grace period, then hard-deleted within 14 days (per Privacy Policy §7). The grace exists so you can resubscribe without re-uploading. To trigger immediate deletion, email privacy@typed.cloud from the address on your account; we will purge the named codebase within 14 days. Solo-tier customers (Starter / Pro / Max) never upload codebases server-side and this clause does not apply.
  • Billing records are retained for 7 years per US tax law.
  • The following sections survive termination: §5 (refund obligations already incurred), §7.4 (your content responsibility), §8 (IP), §10 (privacy), §11.4 (this section), §12-16.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:

  • MERCHANTABILITY
  • FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
  • NON-INFRINGEMENT
  • ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY OF AI-GENERATED OUTPUT
  • UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION

AI MODELS PRODUCE OUTPUTS THAT MAY BE INCORRECT, INCOMPLETE, OFFENSIVE, OR OTHERWISE UNSUITABLE FOR YOUR USE CASE. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVALUATING OUTPUTS BEFORE RELYING ON THEM IN PRODUCTION, SAFETY-CRITICAL, REGULATED, OR HIGH-STAKES CONTEXTS (PER AUP §2.1).

WE TARGET 99.9% MONTHLY UPTIME (THE SERVICE LEVEL OBJECTIVE PUBLISHED AT status.typed.cloud), BUT WE DO NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THAT TARGET. THE SLO IS AN OPERATIONAL GOAL, NOT A CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENT TO CREDITS OR REFUNDS BEYOND §5.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  • No indirect damages. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR HARM TO REPUTATION, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
  • Aggregate cap. OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE AND THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) $100 USD, OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
  • Carve-outs. The limitations above do not apply to: (i) fraud or willful misconduct by us, (ii) our breach of confidentiality, (iii) our indemnification obligations under §14, or (iv) liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

14. Indemnification

14.1 By you

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Yaw Labs, its officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

  • Your violation of these Terms or the AUP.
  • Your use of the Service in a manner that infringes third-party rights or violates law.
  • Content you submit to the Service.
  • Disputes between you and any third party (including customers, employees, or end users of any application you build on typed).

We will: (a) notify you of the claim, (b) give you control of the defense (with our right to participate at our own cost), and (c) cooperate reasonably. You may not settle a claim in a manner that imposes liability on us without our written consent.

14.2 By us

We will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless you from any third-party claim that your authorized use of the Service infringes the intellectual property of a third party, subject to the limitations in §13. This indemnity does not apply to claims arising from: (a) your modification of the Service, (b) your use of the Service in combination with non-typed services where the combination causes the infringement, (c) your use of beta/preview features, or (d) AI-generated output (which is governed by §7.4 and §12).

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes (changes to pricing, fundamental Service description, the data-flow chain in Privacy Policy §5, liability limitations) will be notified to active customers via email at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

Non-material changes (clarifications, formatting, contact info updates) are reflected in this document with an updated effective date.

The current version is always available at typed.cloud/terms. Past versions are kept on request; email privacy@typed.cloud.

If you do not agree to a material change, your sole remedy is to cancel your subscription before the effective date.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

16.1 Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

16.2 Informal resolution

Before filing a claim, you agree to attempt informal resolution by emailing legal@typed.cloud with a description of the dispute and proposed resolution. We will respond within 30 days. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith for at least 60 days before pursuing formal dispute resolution.

16.3 Arbitration (US customers; voluntary for non-US customers)

If informal resolution fails, US customers agree that any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, conducted in Wilmington, Delaware (or remotely by agreement). Each party bears its own costs except as the arbitrator decides. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding.

Class action waiver. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis. You may not bring or participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions against us.

Carve-outs. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual-property infringement, breach of confidentiality, or to protect against AUP §2.2 (CSAM, etc.) misuse. Small-claims-court actions are permitted at the claimant's election.

16.4 Non-US customers

If you are located outside the United States, the arbitration clause in §16.3 is optional for you. If you do not elect arbitration, disputes are resolved in the state or federal courts of Delaware, United States, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

16.5 Time limit

Any claim arising from these Terms or the Service must be brought within one (1) year of the event giving rise to the claim. Claims not brought within that period are waived.

17. Miscellaneous

17.1 Entire agreement

These Terms (together with the AUP and Privacy Policy incorporated by reference) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.

17.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. The unenforceable provision will be replaced with the most-similar enforceable provision.

17.3 No waiver

Our failure to enforce a provision does not waive our right to enforce it later.

17.4 Assignment

You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets, with notice to you.

17.5 Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control (natural disasters, war, terrorism, governmental action, internet outages, third-party service failures, etc.).

17.6 Notices

Notices to you are sent to the email address on your account. Notices to us go to legal@typed.cloud for legal matters and support@typed.cloud for operational matters.

17.7 Independent contractors

Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and us.
