Terms of Use

GearKit AI, LLC · Version 1.0 · Last revised August 20, 2026

The websites at shelfkit.ai and gearkit.ai, the pages they serve, the free tools and free skills offered on them, and the hosted ShelfKit service (together, the "Service") are owned and operated by GearKit AI, LLC ("GearKit," "Company," "us," "our," or "we"), a California limited liability company. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Service. By accessing or using the Service you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent, and you confirm you have authority to do so. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

IMPORTANT — please read the Dispute Resolution section carefully. It contains an agreement to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration instead of in court, with a waiver of class action and jury trial rights. You have 30 days to opt out, as described there.

1. Accounts

1.1 Creating an account. The hosted tiers require an account. You agree to provide accurate, current information and keep it updated. You can close your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate accounts as described in Section 9.

1.2 Account security. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for activity under your account. Tell us immediately if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization. We are not liable for losses caused by your failure to secure your credentials.

2. Free Solo skills

We offer free "Solo" skills — packaged instructions and commands that run inside your own Claude environment. For these:

3. Paid subscriptions (Team and Ops)

3.1 Plans and pricing. The hosted tiers are ShelfKit Team at $99 per month and ShelfKit Ops at $349 per month, billed monthly. Current pricing is stated on the site; we will give you notice before any price change takes effect for you.

3.2 Onboarding and billing start. The first cohort is onboarded hands-on: after you request access, our team contacts you to set up, and billing starts only once you are up and running. No card is required to request access.

3.3 Cancel anytime; you keep your files. You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period. On cancellation you keep your files and data: the files the service worked on remain yours, downloaded skills keep working, and you may export your data. We will delete our hosted copies of your data on request, as described in the Privacy Policy.

3.4 Your data. As between you and GearKit, you own the business data you bring to the hosted service. You grant us the rights needed to host and process it solely to provide the Service to you, as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not use it to train AI models, and our AI provider processes it under commercial terms that prohibit training on it.

3.5 Human approval. The hosted service drafts work for your review. You are responsible for reviewing and approving outbound actions (such as sending an email or placing an order) before they are executed, and for the business decisions you make based on the Service's output.

4. Access, restrictions, and ownership

4.1 License. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes.

4.2 Restrictions. You may not: (i) license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, or commercially exploit the Service or its content except as these Terms allow; (ii) modify, create derivative works from, disassemble, or reverse-engineer any part of the Service (except to the extent a license accompanying a specific download expressly allows it); (iii) access the Service to build a similar or competing product; (iv) probe, overload, or interfere with the Service's security or operation, or use it to send spam or unlawful content; or (v) use the Service in violation of applicable law, including anti-spam and privacy laws applicable to mailboxes you connect.

4.3 Changes to the Service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service at any time. For paid tiers we will not materially reduce the core functionality you are paying for during a period you have already paid for.

4.4 Ownership. All intellectual property rights in the Service — including the ShelfKit and LineKit software, skills, and content — belong to GearKit or its licensors. These Terms transfer no ownership to you. Your data remains yours (Section 3.4).

4.5 Feedback. If you share feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free license to use it freely, without attribution. Please do not submit feedback you consider proprietary or confidential.

5. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and which also serves as our cookie and tracking disclosure. If these Terms and the Privacy Policy conflict about personal data, the Privacy Policy controls.

6. Third-party services

The Service links to and integrates with third-party services (for example, Google and Microsoft mailbox connections, Anthropic's Claude, and payment or scheduling providers). We do not control third-party services, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Connecting a third-party account to the hosted service is your choice and can be revoked by you at any time.

7. Disclaimers

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GEARKIT AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT AI-GENERATED DRAFTS AND ANALYSES WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE — THEY ARE DRAFTS FOR YOUR REVIEW, NOT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. WHERE APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES WARRANTIES, THEY ARE LIMITED TO 90 DAYS FROM YOUR FIRST USE.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) GEARKIT AND ITS SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS, OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS IS CAPPED AT THE GREATER OF (i) $50 USD AND (ii) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US UNDER THESE TERMS IN THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE INCIDENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. MULTIPLE CLAIMS DO NOT INCREASE THIS CAP.

9. Term and termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Service. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms; for paid tiers we will refund the unused portion of any prepaid period if we terminate without cause. Section 3.3's keep-your-files commitment survives termination, as do Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, and 5 through 12.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GearKit and its officers, employees, and agents from claims and reasonable costs or attorneys' fees arising out of (i) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms, (ii) content or data you bring to the Service, or (iii) your violation of applicable law. We may assume control of the defense of any such claim at your expense, and you agree not to settle a claim without our prior written consent.

11. California and state-specific notices

If you are a California resident, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, at 1625 N. Market Blvd., Suite N112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by phone at (800) 952-5210. Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3: the provider of the Service is GearKit AI, LLC, a California limited liability company; to file a complaint or receive further information, contact us at boris@gearkit.ai. California residents may also have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act; see the Privacy Policy for what we collect and how to exercise those rights. Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws (including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and Nevada) have the rights described in the Privacy Policy.

12. Dispute resolution — binding arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to sue in court and your right to a jury trial.

12.1 Applicability. Except as described below, you and GearKit agree to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms through binding individual arbitration — not in court. Exceptions: (i) claims that qualify for small claims court, brought individually; and (ii) requests for equitable relief related to intellectual property. This agreement applies to claims that arose before you agreed to these Terms.

12.2 Try to resolve first. Before starting arbitration, the party raising a dispute must send written notice to the other (ours goes to boris@gearkit.ai). Within 45 days of that notice the parties will meet by phone or video in good faith to try to work things out. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may start arbitration.

12.3 Arbitration rules. Arbitration will be administered by JAMS (www.jamsadr.com). Claims under $250,000 (excluding fees and interest) use JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules; larger claims use the Comprehensive Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration is conducted in the county where you live. Arbitration materials are confidential.

12.4 Authority of the arbitrator. The arbitrator resolves all arbitrable disputes, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement — except that courts decide (i) challenges to the class action waiver, (ii) disputes about arbitration fees, (iii) whether a condition precedent to arbitration was satisfied, and (iv) which version of this agreement applies. The arbitrator may award the same relief as a court, on an individual basis only; the award is final and binding.

12.5 Waiver of jury trial. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU AND GEARKIT WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY FOR ALL COVERED CLAIMS.

12.6 Waiver of class actions. ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR GEARKIT MAY BRING CLAIMS AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. If a court finds this waiver unenforceable for a specific claim, that claim may be litigated in state or federal court in California; all other claims remain subject to arbitration.

12.7 Fees. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator finds a claim frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. If 100 or more substantially similar demands are filed within 30 days by the same firm or coordinated group, JAMS will batch them into groups of 100 with one arbitrator and one set of fees per batch.

12.8 Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing boris@gearkit.ai with your name, contact details, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

12.9 Severability. If any part of this arbitration agreement is found invalid, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable; the rest remains in effect.

13. General
