Terms

Last updated: November 8, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Alphabyte LLC, doing business as Troop ("Troop," "we," "us," or "our"), and govern your access to and use of the Troop desktop application, the optional Troop Relay and Troop Cloud services, the website at troop-web.vercel.app, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). Please read them carefully. They include provisions that limit our liability.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By creating an account, joining the waitlist, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not access or use the Service. Continued use of the Service after a change to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service. The Service is operated from the United States. If you access it from another jurisdiction, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for complying with local laws.

3. Accounts and Waitlist

Access to the Service is currently invite-only. You may join the waitlist with your email address. We may grant or decline access in any order and may limit, suspend, or terminate access at any time, with or without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. You are responsible for safeguarding the accounts you use to sign in (Google or GitHub) and for all activity under your account.

4. The Service

Troop is a desktop application for Mac and Linux where you can message AI assistants ("Bots") that work in folders you choose on your computer. Bots can read and change files in folders you give them, run commands you allow, and hand work to other Bots in a group. You review what Bots do and decide what to keep. Troop Relay (optional) lets you chat with Bots and approve their requests from another device while your computer does the work. Troop Cloud (optional) runs your Bots on a private cloud computer so they keep working when your computer is off. Features may change or go away while the Service is in early access.

5. Your AI Accounts and Providers

Troop does not provide or resell AI. Bots run through the AI accounts and providers you already have, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Pi Agent, or Hermes Agent. Each provider's own terms, acceptable-use policies, and usage limits apply, and you are responsible for following them. Troop never asks for your AI passwords. Prompts and the files a Bot needs are sent to the providers you choose, under their terms and privacy policies.

6. Paid Plans and Billing

Some features, such as Troop Relay and Troop Cloud, require a paid plan. Prices are shown before you buy. Paid plans renew automatically each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period and you keep access until then. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments are non-refundable, including for partial periods. You authorize our payment processor to charge your payment method for each renewal and any applicable taxes. We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice; a change applies from your next renewal. We may suspend paid features if a payment fails. Troop Relay includes a free 7-day trial, once per person, that starts when you first pair a phone. It needs no payment method and never converts into a paid plan automatically; you choose whether to buy. Other trials, rewards or beta access may be offered free of charge and may end at any time. Paid access you have bought is never replaced by a trial or reward.

7. Troop Cloud

If you use Troop Cloud: (a) each cloud computer has resource and storage limits, shown in your plan, and "always on" does not mean unlimited computation; (b) you sign in to AI providers yourself on your cloud computer, and we offer only providers whose terms allow this use, so a provider may be unavailable on Cloud or removed if its terms change; (c) you are responsible for the files, repositories, credentials and connectors you put on Cloud and for everything Bots do there, including actions on outside services; (d) you may not use Cloud for cryptocurrency mining, attacks on other systems, sending spam, hosting public services, or getting around any provider's limits; and (e) we do not guarantee uptime. When your Cloud plan ends, you have 30 days to export your data before we delete it, as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Your Responsibility for Bots and Your Data

Bots act on your instructions and within the permissions you grant. Review what they do before approving important actions. You are solely responsible for your code, your data, your folders, and any action you approve, including changes Bots make to files or repositories and commands they run.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Service, including by: using it to violate any law or any AI provider's terms; attempting to access accounts or data that are not yours; reverse-engineering the Service except as the law allows; interfering with or overloading the Service or its infrastructure; sharing or reselling access to your Troop or AI accounts; or using the Service to develop, train, or resell a competing product in a way that violates these Terms.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including the Troop name, logo, software, and website content, is owned by Alphabyte LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Content you create with Bots, and the files in your folders, remain yours.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice and with or without cause, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or created legal exposure for us. Sections 5, 6 (for amounts owed), 7(c), 8, 10, and 12 through 15 survive any termination.

12. Disclaimers of Warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ALPHABYTE LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that Bots' output will be accurate or complete. AI-generated output may be incorrect; review it before relying on it. Your use of the Service is at your sole risk.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ALPHABYTE LLC OR ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, GOODWILL, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100). These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, such as fraud or intentional misconduct.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Alphabyte LLC and its officers, members, employees, and agents from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or any action you approve a Bot to take.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and by applicable U.S. federal law. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the website or by email where we have your address. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

17. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Alphabyte LLC regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, or employment relationship.
