1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the MessageClaw service (the “Service”), including our website, web portal, and mobile application, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
2. Description of Services
MessageClaw provides a secure messaging-management platform that includes the following features:
- SMS synchronization and management — the ability to view, search, and manage SMS messages on your paired Android device from the MessageClaw web portal. Message content is encrypted end-to-end, processed on-device, and is never stored on our servers (see the Privacy Policy).
- AI assistant features — optional AI-powered summarisation, drafting, and analysis of your messages. AI processing may occur server-side using third-party AI providers. You retain ownership of your inputs and outputs. AI training is opt-in only and is off by default.
- Webhooks and API — developer features that let you integrate with the Service programmatically, subject to any applicable rate limits and usage policies.
- Web portal and device pairing — the portal and companion Android application used to access and control the Service.
3. User Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Provide accurate information when creating an account and keep your credentials secure.
- Use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws, including the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the US Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the GDPR where it applies to you, and local SMS/electronic-communications laws.
- Not use the Service to send spam, harass, defraud, or otherwise harm others.
- Not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or derive the source code of the Service except as expressly permitted by law.
- Not use the Service to build a competing product or service.
- Not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, other users' accounts, or our systems.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
4. Privacy
Our handling of your data is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. In particular, MessageClaw operates a zero-persistence architecture for message content: SMS messages, contacts, and calendar data are read on your device, encrypted end-to-end, and never stored on our servers.
5. Intellectual Property
MessageClaw and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, trademarks, logos, and related intellectual property. You retain ownership of the content and data you provide to the Service. The Service is provided under a source-available-for-audit model and is not open source; you may not copy, modify, or redistribute the Service except as expressly permitted in writing.
6. Limitation of Liability
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, whether express or implied. MessageClaw shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. To the extent liability is not excluded by law, our aggregate liability shall not exceed the total fees you have paid for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
7. Termination
You may terminate your account at any time through the Service. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you breach these Terms or if we are required to do so by law. Upon termination, we will delete your account data in accordance with our data-retention commitments, generally within 30 days. Message content is never stored server-side and is therefore not affected by account termination.
8. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The Service is operated from Australia and all data is stored in Australian data centres. Subject to any consumer protections that cannot be excluded, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia for any dispute arising out of these Terms.
