Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 13, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using ShellMate ("the Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. In addition, when using these particular services, you shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services.

2. Description of Service

ShellMate provides terminal connection management, shared SSH host configuration, permission controls, session records, and client-side zero-trust encrypted storage for saved credentials and infrastructure secrets. Saved Vault secrets are encrypted on the client and decrypted locally for authorized desktop use. Shared cloud integration tokens are encrypted server-side for provider reads and are not zero-knowledge Vault items. Host labels and observed system details are ordinary metadata. Protect your local key and recovery material; an account password reset does not recover lost Vault keys. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service with or without notice at any time and without any liability to you.

3. Registration and Account Security

In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form, and (b) maintain and promptly update the registration data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account.

4. User Conduct

You agree to not use the Service to upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable.

5. Subscription and Billing

Certain aspects of the Service may be provided for a fee or other charge. If you elect to use paid aspects of the Service, you agree to the pricing and payment terms, as we may update them from time to time. ShellMate may add new services for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion.

6. Modifications to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will post the most current version of these Terms on our website. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will notify you in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Terms.
