Terms of Service

Effective June 19, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and sealmd (“Seal,” “we,” “us”), governing your access to and use of the Seal website at sealmd.net, the hosted review and approval service, the open-source Seal rendering skill, and any related APIs and software (together, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, or by clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to them. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and “you” refers to that organization.

1. The Service

Seal turns Markdown documents into reviewable pages and records identity-verified human approvals over them. An approval is cryptographically bound to the exact content of a document version (its content hash); altering the content invalidates prior approvals. Seal provides a record of who approved what, and when. Seal is a workflow and record-keeping tool. It is not a legal, compliance, audit, notarization, or electronic- signature service, and an approval recorded in Seal does not by itself constitute a legally binding signature, a regulatory attestation, or legal advice. You are responsible for determining whether Seal meets your legal or compliance requirements.

2. Accounts and Eligibility

• You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the Service.
• You sign in via a one-time email magic link or your organization’s SSO. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your email account and any active session.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• Workspace owners and administrators control membership, roles, and access within their workspace and are responsible for managing them appropriately.

3. Your Content

“Your Content” means the documents, Markdown, comments, approvals, and other material you or your collaborators submit to the Service. As between you and Seal, you retain all rights to Your Content. You grant Seal a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, transmit, render, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you and your authorized collaborators, and as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit Your Content and that it does not infringe third-party rights or violate any law. The Seal rendering skill runs locally on your machine and makes no network calls; content does not reach our servers until you choose to publish or sync it.

4. AI Processing

When you publish a document, Seal may generate a summary and related artifacts using a third-party AI provider (currently Cloudflare Workers AI; Anthropic for certain configurations). Document content is transmitted to that provider only to produce these outputs. Our providers are contractually bound not to use submitted content to train their models. AI-generated summaries may be inaccurate or incomplete; the original document remains the canonical source, and you should not rely on a summary in place of the full document.

5. GitHub and Other Connectors

If you connect a GitHub repository, you authorize Seal to read and, where you enable it, write to that repository (for example, to open pull requests or commit suggestions) using a short-lived, repository-scoped installation token. You are responsible for the permissions you grant and for your use of any connected third-party service, which remains subject to that service’s own terms.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• upload unlawful, infringing, or malicious content, or content you have no right to share;
• attempt to access another workspace’s data, defeat tenant isolation, or probe, scan, or breach security or authentication measures;
• forge identity, impersonate another person, or misrepresent the provenance of an approval;
• reverse engineer or interfere with the Service, except where such restriction is prohibited by law or permitted by the open-source license of a given component;
• use the Service to send spam, or for any high-risk use where failure could lead to death, personal injury, or environmental damage;
• exceed rate limits or impose an unreasonable load on the infrastructure.

7. Plans, Billing, and Free Tier

Paid plans are billed through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges for the applicable fees until you cancel. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change pricing on prospective notice. The free tier is provided as-is and may change or be discontinued. Failure to pay may result in suspension or downgrade.

8. Open-Source Components

Portions of Seal — including the local rendering skill — are open source and licensed under their respective licenses. Those licenses govern your use of those components and, to the extent of any conflict, take precedence over these Terms for that component.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, excluding Your Content and open-source components, including its software, design, and the “Seal” name and marks, is owned by Seal and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service under these Terms. We welcome feedback and may use it without restriction or obligation to you.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your workspace and data, subject to your workspace’s retention settings. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms, to comply with law, or to protect the Service or its users. On termination, the license you grant us ends except as needed to complete deletion, comply with law, or resolve disputes. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including Sections 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14) survive termination.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that AI outputs will be accurate. You are responsible for maintaining your own copies of Your Content; your Markdown source remains your canonical copy.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SEAL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL. SEAL’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO SEAL IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seal from any claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by applicable law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You and Seal consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice (for example, by email or in-product). Your continued use after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
