Praxist User Agreement

Agreement version: 2026-08-28
Effective date: 28 August 2026

Chapter 1: General Provisions¶

1.1 Scope

This Agreement is a complete and legally binding contract between the user (the User) and Sapient Intelligence Pte Ltd (the Company), concerning the Praxist software and related services (the Services). The Services may include the locally installed Praxist software, command-line interfaces, packaged agent skills, documentation, updates, support, and optional Company-operated network services made available with a Praxist release.

1.2 Acceptance

The User accepts this Agreement by selecting I agree and continue in the Praxist first-use experience, by otherwise recording an explicit acceptance, or by actually using the Services. The User confirms that they have had an opportunity to review the complete Agreement, including Appendix A and any supplementary terms incorporated by reference. A User who does not agree must cancel setup and stop using the Services.

Praxist stores a minimal acceptance record for the current operating-system user. It contains the Agreement version and digest, acceptance time, and whether the choice was made directly or relayed by an Agent. This record stays on the local machine and is not included in optional product-usage events.

1.3 Governing framework

This Agreement is formulated in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore and other applicable laws and regulations. Its purpose is to define the rights and obligations of both parties and protect their legitimate rights and interests.

1.4 Revisions

The Company may revise this Agreement in response to business development, changes in applicable law, or changes to the Services. The current Agreement will be identified by version and published with the relevant release and in the official Praxist documentation. Where renewed acceptance is required, Praxist will present the revised Agreement before continuing first-use setup. Continued use after the applicable notice or acceptance process constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement. A User who refuses a revision must stop using the affected Services.

Chapter 2: Eligibility, Installation, and Credential Management¶

2.1 Eligibility

Users must be natural persons with full civil capacity, legal persons, or other organizations legally capable of entering this Agreement. A minor may use the Services only with the consent and supervision of a legal guardian, who bears responsibility for that use to the extent required by law.

2.2 Installation and configuration

The current Praxist software does not require a separate Praxist account for local installation or local research operation. The User is responsible for providing accurate configuration, selecting an authorized model-provider or runtime account, and ensuring that the research project and its dependencies may lawfully be used. If a future Company-operated service requires registration, the User must provide true, accurate, and complete registration information and must not impersonate another person, create accounts in bulk, or otherwise abuse registration.

2.3 Third-party accounts and credentials

Accounts, subscriptions, API keys, and saved login credentials used by Praxist may be issued by third-party providers. Their ownership and permitted use are governed by the User's agreement with the relevant provider. Praxist stores provider configuration locally when the User asks it to do so and does not claim ownership of the User's third-party account. The User shall not transfer, rent, lend, sell, or misuse any Company-operated account if such an account is provided separately.

2.4 Security

The User shall safeguard passwords, API keys, saved login credentials, and other authentication material and is responsible for operations performed with those credentials. The User shall promptly notify the Company and the relevant third-party provider of suspected unauthorized access. The Company may provide reasonable assistance but is not liable for loss caused by the User's failure to protect credentials, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Chapter 3: Service Content and Usage Code of Conduct¶

3.1 Service content

Praxist provides a task-agnostic framework for measurable, computer-executable research. It can coordinate agent runtimes, task-owned experiments, evidence, research planning, and reporting. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Praxist does not supply the User's research project, datasets, simulators, evaluator, task-specific dependencies, scientific acceptance criteria, computing resources, or third-party model service. The specific Services available to a User are those included in the installed release or displayed in official documentation. The Company may add, remove, or improve Services and will publish material changes through official release materials or documentation.

3.2 Usage rules

The User shall comply with applicable law, public order, and good morals and shall not use the Services to:

create or disseminate content prohibited by applicable law, including unlawful political propaganda, threats to national security, illegal gambling, malicious hacking tools, obscene content, or unlawful discriminatory content;
infringe intellectual property, portrait, reputation, privacy, or other legitimate rights, impersonate another person, or disclose another person's private information without authority;
commit fraud, extortion, harassment, deception, or other illegal acts;
maliciously attack, crack, disrupt, tamper with, or steal data from Praxist or any connected service;
use a Service outside the scope authorized by the Company or a relevant third-party provider; or
violate applicable national or regional laws, regulations, sanctions, or published usage rules.

3.3 Service restrictions

The Company may limit usage of Company-operated online Services based on service capacity, security, legal requirements, or abusive use. Third-party model providers and infrastructure providers may impose their own quotas and usage limits. This clause does not give the Company remote control over the User's lawful local computing resources or task project. The Company may suspend or terminate access to a Company-operated Service for material breach without compensation except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Chapter 4: Intellectual Property Rights¶

4.1 Praxist materials

The Company retains rights in Company-authored software, trademarks, patents, algorithms, service designs, interface designs, documentation, and written content to the fullest extent permitted by law. Use and redistribution of software or documentation are also subject to the license terms accompanying the relevant distribution. Third-party software, models, datasets, and other materials remain subject to their respective owners' rights and licenses. Nothing in this Agreement overrides an applicable open-source or third-party license.

4.2 User-generated content

Unless the parties enter a separate written agreement, the User retains the copyright and other rights they hold in research inputs, task projects, and content generated through the Services. The User remains responsible for any third-party terms that apply to a model, dataset, runtime, or other component used to produce that content.

4.3 Local inputs and voluntary submissions

Local processing by Praxist does not transfer the User's rights in task content, prompts, research results, files, or project paths to the Company. Those materials are not included in optional product-usage events described in Appendix A. If the User separately and voluntarily submits material to the Company for support, feedback, or another requested service, the User grants a non-exclusive license limited to providing that service and improving Praxist, subject to applicable privacy duties and any separate written terms.

4.4 User warranty

The User warrants that submitted or processed content is within the User's right to use and does not infringe third-party rights. The User shall bear liability for disputes and losses caused by content the User had no right to use, including legally recoverable damages, litigation costs, and attorney fees.

Chapter 5: Suspension, Termination, and Modification of Services¶

5.1 Availability

Company-operated online Services may be suspended for maintenance, upgrades, malfunctions, force majeure, security incidents, or legal requirements. The Company will provide reasonable notice where practicable and will announce restoration when appropriate. Locally installed Praxist software may remain available, but its operation can depend on third-party runtimes, providers, networks, or infrastructure outside the Company's control.

5.2 User breach

If the User materially breaches this Agreement, uses a Company-operated Service unlawfully, or provides false information where registration is required, the Company may restrict or terminate access to that Service and any associated Company-operated account. This does not authorize the Company to delete the User's local research project. Local and hosted data, if any, will be handled under the applicable documentation and law.

5.3 Service changes

The Company may modify or terminate part or all of the Services as business or legal requirements change. Material changes will be published through official release materials, documentation, or service notices and take effect after any required notice period. Where a paid Company-operated Service is terminated, the Company will handle outstanding matters according to the applicable order terms and law.

Chapter 6: Rights and Obligations of Both Parties¶

6.1 Company rights and obligations

The Company may:

provide the Services under this Agreement, manage Company-operated Services, and respond to misuse;
revise this Agreement and official rules in accordance with Section 1.4;
use reasonable efforts to maintain Company-operated systems, publish software updates, and respond to reasonable feedback;
protect personal information in accordance with applicable law and avoid unauthorized disclosure or misuse;
refrain from using the Services to conduct illegal activity or infringe the legitimate rights of Users or third parties; and
collect the bounded product-usage data in Appendix A only after a separate, explicit opt-in. Acceptance of this User Agreement alone does not enable product-usage collection.

6.2 User rights and obligations

The User may and shall:

use the Services under this Agreement and submit reasonable suggestions;
exercise applicable rights to inquire about, correct, or delete personal information and to close any Company-operated account;
comply with this Agreement and refrain from illegal acts or conduct that harms the Company or third parties;
safeguard credentials and accept responsibility for authorized operations performed with them;
report material faults or vulnerabilities responsibly and refrain from malicious exploitation; and
comply with relevant terms when using third-party providers or services through Praxist.

Chapter 7: Liability for Breach of Contract¶

7.1 User breach

If the User breaches this Agreement, the Company may suspend or restrict Company-operated Services or terminate a Company-operated account. The User shall compensate the Company for losses recoverable under applicable law, including direct losses and reasonable litigation and attorney fees.

7.2 Company breach

If the Company breaches this Agreement by failing to perform an applicable service obligation or infringing the User's legitimate rights, the Company shall bear liability required by law. To the extent permitted by law, the Company is not liable for indirect losses or lost anticipated profits, and its aggregate liability shall not exceed the service fees the User actually paid to the Company for the affected Service.

7.3 Force majeure

Neither party is liable for a failure caused by force majeure, including earthquakes, floods, typhoons, war, policy changes, widespread system failure, or cyberattack, to the extent recognized by law. The affected party shall give prompt notice where practicable and take reasonable steps to reduce loss.

Chapter 8: Dispute Resolution¶

8.1 Governing law

The formation, performance, interpretation, and dispute resolution of this Agreement are governed by the laws of Singapore.

8.2 Arbitration

The parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, either party may submit the dispute to the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) for arbitration under its rules then in force.

Chapter 9: Miscellaneous Provisions¶

9.1 Severability

If any clause is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining clauses remain in force to the extent permitted by law.

9.2 Supplementary terms

Matters not covered here may be governed by a separate written supplementary agreement, which will have the same legal effect when validly entered into by the parties.

9.3 Incorporated documents

Appendix A, applicable service-specific terms, and official notices expressly incorporated into this Agreement form part of it. Product documentation that only explains operation does not silently expand the data-collection scope in Appendix A.

9.4 Term and interpretation

This Agreement takes effect when the User records acceptance or begins using the Services and remains effective until use and any Company-operated account or Service relationship end, subject to clauses that survive by their nature. The Company may interpret and revise this Agreement subject to applicable law and Section 1.4.
