By accessing or using CLANKER.NET ("the Service") — the app at app.clanker.net, this site, and the factory engine, reusable workflow and container images published by Clanker Labs — you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.
CLANKER.NET turns a standard dev-container file in your repository, and a fleet file in the repository of whoever holds the host, into developer containers on a host in your own cloud accounts. Deployed mode is bring-your-own-cloud: you deploy your own clanking machine, in accounts you own, from your own repository, with our engine. The Service provides:
Where you ask us to run a factory for you, the terms of that engagement are set out in its own agreement.
The app uses your GitHub account for sign-in. You are responsible for:
A factory runs in cloud, DNS, tunnel, access, state and secrets providers that you hold accounts with. You are responsible for those accounts, the tokens you issue for them, their scopes and rotation, and the charges those providers bill you. We never hold your cloud credentials; a workflow you run executes under your permissions, and you may revoke our code at any time by ceasing to reference it.
Use of the app is free of charge. The engine, workflow and images are provided under the licence that accompanies each published artifact; the cloud providers a factory runs on bill you directly. An engagement in which we run a factory for you is priced under its own agreement. Nothing in the Service is a currency or a credit with monetary value.
You agree not to:
The Service, including its design, engine, workflow definitions, images and content, is protected by intellectual property laws and provided under the licence that accompanies each published artifact. Your repository contents, your host, your containers and everything you build with them remain yours.
The engine, workflow and images run in your accounts and on your hosts. You are responsible for reviewing the version you pin, for the hosts and containers it creates, and for their upkeep, backups and security. The split of responsibilities between you and us is set out on the bring-your-own-cloud page.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING CHARGES BILLED TO YOU BY THE CLOUD PROVIDERS A FACTORY RUNS ON.
The Service is under active development. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or discontinue features at any time. Features may change or experience temporary disruptions without advance notice.
We may terminate or suspend your access to the app at any time for violation of these terms. Termination does not affect hosts and containers already running in your accounts; we could not reach them in any case.
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
