Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and ShapeKit, Inc., a Delaware C corporation (“ShapeKit,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account, accessing, or using shapekit.ai or any ShapeKit services (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to these Terms.
If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” refers to both you and that entity.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
2. Description of service
ShapeKit is a platform for building and using customizable dashboard applications.
Crafters are developers, product teams, or individuals who build dashboard apps using ShapeKit’s tooling. Crafters define the structure, data, and rules of their apps, including what end users can and cannot modify.
Shapers are end users who access apps built by Crafters. Shapers can customize their view of an app using a natural language AI interface, within the constraints set by the Crafter.
ShapeKit provides infrastructure for data storage, versioning, migrations, analytics, multi-tenant isolation, billing, and a marketplace for reusable dashboard components called “Skills.”
3. Account registration and security
To use most features of the Service, you must create an account. You may register using an email address and password, or via Google OAuth.
You must provide accurate, complete, and current information when registering. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it.
If you become aware of unauthorized access to your account, notify us immediately at legal@shapekit.ai.
Teams. Teams are the primary billing and organizational unit on ShapeKit. Apps and their associated Shapers are scoped to a team. You are responsible for all activity by users you add to your team.
Age requirement. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this requirement.
4. Subscription plans, billing, and payments
4.1 Plans
ShapeKit offers the following subscription plans:
- Forge (Free): 1 project, 200 AI requests per month, 10,000 data rows, 1 Crafter seat.
- Build ($29/month): 5 projects, 3,000 AI requests per month, 100,000 data rows, 5 Crafter seats.

4.2 Billing
Paid plans are billed monthly in advance. All fees are in US dollars and are non-refundable except as required by law or as stated in these Terms.
You authorize ShapeKit to charge your payment method on file for all fees incurred under your plan. If a payment fails, we may suspend your account until payment is resolved.
4.3 Upgrades and downgrades
Plan upgrades take effect immediately. You will be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the current billing cycle.
Plan downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. You retain access to your current plan’s features until then.
4.4 Overages
On the Build and Scale plans, if you exceed your monthly AI request limit, overage charges apply. The overage rate will be displayed in your account settings and may change with notice. You are responsible for monitoring your usage.
On the Forge plan, AI requests are hard-capped at 200 per month. Requests beyond this limit will not be processed until the following billing cycle.
4.5 Stripe Connect and marketplace payments
Crafters may connect a Stripe account to charge Shapers for premium Skills through ShapeKit’s marketplace. By connecting Stripe, you agree to Stripe’s terms of service. ShapeKit is not a party to payment transactions between Crafters and Shapers.
ShapeKit collects a platform fee on all marketplace transactions:
- Build plan: 1% per transaction
- Scale plan: 0.5% per transaction
- Custom plan: 0.25% per transaction
ShapeKit is not responsible for disputes between Crafters and Shapers arising from marketplace transactions. Refunds for Skill purchases are governed by the Crafter’s stated refund policy, not ShapeKit’s.
4.6 Taxes
You are responsible for all applicable taxes on your subscription and marketplace transactions. ShapeKit will collect and remit taxes where legally required.
5. Free tier terms
The Forge plan is free with no credit card required. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the free tier at any time with 30 days’ notice.
Apps built on the Forge plan must display a “Powered by ShapeKit” badge. Removing this badge requires a paid plan. You may not obscure, alter, or remove this badge on Forge-tier apps.
6. AI-powered features
ShapeKit uses AI models, including models provided by Anthropic, to power features such as the Shaper natural language interface. By using AI-powered features, you agree to the following.
AI output is not guaranteed. AI-generated views, layouts, and configurations are produced automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your purposes. ShapeKit makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, or fitness of any AI output for any particular purpose.
You are responsible for AI output you deploy. Crafters who allow Shapers to use AI features in their apps are responsible for setting appropriate constraints and reviewing the types of customizations their app permits. You are responsible for ensuring that AI-generated output in your apps complies with applicable law.
AI requests are metered. AI feature usage counts against your plan’s monthly AI request limit. See Section 4 for overage terms.
Do not submit sensitive data to AI features. Do not use AI-powered features to process personal health information, financial account numbers, government identification numbers, payment card data, or other sensitive categories of personal data unless you have reviewed applicable legal requirements and have obtained appropriate consents.
7. Marketplace and Skills
7.1 Publishing Skills
Crafters may publish Skills to the ShapeKit marketplace. By publishing a Skill, you grant ShapeKit a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and distribute the Skill through the marketplace.
You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to publish each Skill, and that your Skills do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights.
7.2 Installing Skills
Crafters and Shapers may install or purchase Skills from the marketplace. Skills are provided as-is. ShapeKit does not review, warrant, or guarantee the quality, accuracy, or fitness of any Skill published by third-party Crafters.

ShapeKit reserves the right to remove any Skill from the marketplace at any time, including for violations of these Terms or our content policies.

8.3 Shaper content
Where a Crafter grants Shapers the ability to save customized views or share views with other Shapers via share tokens, Shapers retain ownership of their configurations. By using share token features, a Shaper grants other users access to their shared view as configured.

Before filing any formal legal proceeding, you agree to contact ShapeKit at legal@shapekit.ai and describe your dispute. We will attempt to resolve disputes informally within 30 days of receiving notice.
17.2 Binding arbitration

18. Changes to terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by displaying a prominent notice in your account dashboard at least 14 days before the changes take effect.
