Terms of Service

Last updated 25 August 2026

These terms govern your use of flock, the desktop app, this website, and the hosted services around them. By using flock you agree to them.

The short version. Download and use flock. The app is free and the source is open under the Apache-2.0 licence; there is nothing to pay us. You own your code and your data. You run agents on your own model accounts and are responsible for that usage. The software is provided as is.

1. Who we are

Flock Labs ("we", "us") provides this service. You can reach us at contact@theflock.sh.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old and able to enter into a binding contract. If you use flock for an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms on its behalf.

3. Your account

A flock ID requires signing in with Google and choosing a handle. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping access to your sign-in secure. Handles must not impersonate others or be abusive; we may reclaim handles that do.

4. Licence to use the software

The flock software is open source under the Apache License 2.0; the source is at github.com/theflock-labs/flock-code. That licence, not this section, governs your rights in the code. Your use of the hosted services around the app (such as your flock ID) remains subject to these terms, and you may not attempt to defeat security controls, except where the law expressly permits.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use flock to:

break the law or infringe anyone's rights;
attack, overload, or interfere with the service or its infrastructure;
gain unauthorised access to systems or data;
build a competing product by copying the service; or
use another party's model credentials without permission.

6. Your content and data

You keep all rights to your code, prompts, agent output, and the notes your agents write to the knowledge graph ("your content"). We claim no ownership of it. Your content stays on your machine. If you choose to use a hosted feature that carries your content, you grant us the limited licence needed to store, process, and transmit it solely to operate and support that feature for you.

7. Model providers and third-party services

Flock orchestrates agents that run on providers you choose, such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and OpenCode, using credentials you supply. You are responsible for your use of those providers, including their fees and their terms. flock itself is free; your model spend is between you and your providers. Some features rely on third-party software such as Docker, which you install and run under its own licence.

8. Price

flock is free of charge. There are no paid plans, no subscriptions, and no billing: we collect no payment details and take no payment. If we ever introduce a paid offering, it will be optional, announced with reasonable notice, and governed by terms you accept at that point; nothing will be charged without your explicit agreement.

9. Beta features

Parts of flock may be offered during a beta and can change or be withdrawn.

10. Intellectual property

The flock name, the goose, and the design are owned by us and our licensors, and these terms grant you no rights in them. The software's source code is separately available under the Apache License 2.0, as described in section 4.

11. Disclaimers

Flock is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Coding agents are autonomous and can make mistakes; you are responsible for reviewing what they produce before you rely on it. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, data, or business. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your use of flock in breach of these terms or of the law, or from your content.

14. Termination

You can stop using flock and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these terms or to protect the service. On termination, your licence ends; sections that by their nature should survive (such as ownership, disclaimers, and liability) continue.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as flock evolves. We will change the date above and, for material changes, give notice in the app or by email. Continuing to use flock after a change means you accept the updated terms.

16. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Luxembourg, and the courts of Luxembourg have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer rights in your country of residence.
