LEGAL · TERMS OF SERVICE
By downloading or using SCOUT, you agree to these terms. They are written plainly, but they are legally binding.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legal agreement between you and Michael Labs LLC (“Michael Labs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Michigan limited liability company, and govern your access to and use of the SCOUT macOS application and any related services (collectively, “SCOUT”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use SCOUT.
Subject to these Terms, Michael Labs grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and run SCOUT on Macs you own or control, for your personal and commercial use as the license holder.
This license does not grant you the right to:
All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by Michael Labs.
SCOUT connects to third-party services at your direction — for example, Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Calendar, Graph), GitHub, Apple services, and LLM providers such as Anthropic. You are responsible for:
Michael Labs is not responsible for third-party outages, policy changes, API deprecations, rate limits, pricing changes, or other service disruptions of integrated providers. SCOUT may stop functioning with a third-party service at any time if that provider changes its terms or technical interfaces.
You agree not to use SCOUT to:
We may suspend or revoke access to SCOUT if we reasonably believe you have violated this section.
Michael Labs owns all right, title, and interest in and to SCOUT, including the software, source code, agent designs, user interface, visual design, documentation, and the SCOUT and Michael Labs trademarks. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any Michael Labs intellectual property to you.
You own your data. Missions you launch, prompts you write, files you bring into SCOUT, and the outputs your agents produce for you remain yours. Michael Labs does not claim ownership of your mission content.
If you send us feedback, feature requests, or suggestions about SCOUT, you grant Michael Labs a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that feedback to improve our products — without any obligation to compensate or credit you.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
SCOUT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. MICHAEL LABS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT SCOUT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, THAT ITS AGENT OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
You acknowledge that AI-generated output may contain errors or inaccuracies. You are responsible for reviewing agent output before relying on or acting on it.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
IN NO EVENT SHALL MICHAEL LABS, ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF SCOUT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF MICHAEL LABS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
MICHAEL LABS’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF SCOUT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO MICHAEL LABS FOR SCOUT LICENSES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
You may stop using SCOUT at any time by uninstalling the app and disconnecting its integrations from the providers’ dashboards.
We may suspend or terminate your license to SCOUT if you materially breach these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if continued operation is no longer commercially viable. We will make reasonable efforts to provide notice when doing so.
Because SCOUT is local-first, upon termination your mission content and locally stored data remain on your Mac until you choose to delete them. OAuth tokens stored in your Keychain can be revoked at any time by disconnecting the integration in SCOUT or in the provider’s own security dashboard.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law — will survive.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of SCOUT shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Michigan, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts, except where prohibited by applicable law.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. The current version of these Terms will always be available at this URL.
Your continued use of SCOUT after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, stop using SCOUT.
