Terms of Service

Last updated: October 30, 2026

Oak is experimental.

Oakspace Inc. ("Oak", "we", "us", or "our") provides the Oak experimental software service (the "Service"). The Service, including the CLI tool, server, and all related components, is under active development and may contain bugs, undergo breaking changes, or experience downtime without notice.

By using Oak, you acknowledge that:

Acceptance of these terms.

By accessing or using Oak (including installing the CLI, pushing code to an Oak server, or using the hosted Service at oak.space), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (these "Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Your account.

Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep your login credentials secure, and that you are responsible for all activity under your account — including anything done by coding agents or automation you authorize. Notify us at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access. If your account is managed by an organization, its administrators may access, control, export, or delete the account and Content associated with that organization.

Eligibility. You must be at least 13 years old to use Oak (and old enough to form a binding contract where you live; in the EU/EEA, at least the age of digital consent in your country). If you have not reached the age of majority where you live, your parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf. If applicable law requires a higher minimum age, that higher age applies. Oak is not directed at children. If you use Oak on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind it to these Terms.

Your code, your content.

You retain all ownership rights to the code and content you store using Oak (collectively, "Content"). We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your Content. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to store, process, and make your Content available through Oak and that your Content and use of Oak do not violate applicable law or any third party's rights.

By using the Service, you grant Oak a limited license to host, reproduce, store, process, and transmit your Content, and to permit our service providers to do so, solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Service (e.g., storing blobs, syncing commits between clients, making Content available as you direct, providing support, and protecting the security and integrity of the Service).

Some features act on your Content at your direction, such as webhooks you configure, CI jobs that run on runners you register, and backup mirrors that push to a GitHub repository you choose. When you set one up, you authorize Oak to send the relevant Content to that destination. What happens to it there is governed by that destination's own terms.

Oak will access or disclose Content in private repositories only as needed to provide, support, and secure the Service; comply with law; enforce these Terms; or as you authorize, as further described in Oak's Privacy Policy.

Oak and its licensors retain all rights in the Service and related software, technology, documentation, and materials, excluding your Content and components made available under separate open-source licenses. If you provide feedback or suggestions regarding Oak, Oak may use them without restriction or obligation to you.

Acceptable use.

You agree not to use Oak to:

The full rules — including our zero-tolerance child-safety policy, the security-research exception for dual-use code, the DMCA copyright-takedown process, and how to report abuse — are set out in our Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of these Terms. Report violations to [email protected] (or [email protected] for copyright).

We reserve the right to remove or disable Content, disable repositories, and suspend or terminate access for any user or organization that violates these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy.

Fees.

Free during the beta

Oak is currently free to use and doesn't offer paid plans. Each organization gets the storage allowance shown on our plans and limits page, and we may raise it on request. Pushing your code to Oak is always free — we never meter ingress.

We plan to introduce paid plans in the future. Before we charge for anything, we will publish the plans, prices, and billing terms, update these Terms, and give you reasonable advance notice. Nothing becomes payable unless you choose a paid plan, and you will be able to export your Content (for example with oak export) if you decide not to.

No warranty, indemnification, and limited liability.

No warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Oak does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any defects will be corrected. You use the Service at your own risk.

Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless Oak and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to: (a) your Content; (b) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law; or (c) your infringement or misappropriation of a third party's rights, except to the extent caused by Oak's breach of these Terms, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OAK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF OAK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL OAK'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $100, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations above apply only to the greatest extent permitted by law, and nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Service modifications, the CLI, governing law.

Service modifications and termination

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice, except as required by applicable law. If we permanently discontinue a paid plan during a prepaid term for reasons other than your breach, we will provide a prorated refund of prepaid fees for the unused portion of the term. We may also modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes as required by applicable law. Where permitted by applicable law, changes may take effect immediately if necessary for legal, security, or abuse-prevention reasons. Changes will apply prospectively beginning on the stated effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially violate these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, fail to pay amounts when due, create a material legal or security risk, or if suspension or termination is required by law. Where reasonably practicable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to cure before terminating your access.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We recommend exporting or backing up your data before discontinuing use, as we may delete inactive data after a reasonable period. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends, and we may delete your Content in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including provisions concerning ownership and licenses, payment obligations, indemnification, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, and governing law, will survive.

CLI software

The Oak CLI is distributed as a compiled binary. The source code for the Oak CLI and certain other components may also be made available under separate open-source licenses. Those licenses, rather than these Terms, govern the applicable open-source components to the extent of any conflict. Subject to those licenses and these Terms, Oak grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to install and use the Oak CLI to access and use the Service. By installing and running it, you acknowledge that:

Governing law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise. You and Oak agree that the state courts located in King County, Washington, and the federal courts located in the Western District of Washington will have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to bring a claim in another forum.

General

These Terms, together with the Acceptable Use Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Oak regarding the Service. Our Privacy Policy describes how we process personal data but is not part of these Terms. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
