Terms of Service

Effective: March 12, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using watch.ly ("Service"), operated by WinrickLabs DBA watch.ly ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years of age to use this Service. By using watch.ly, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old.

2. Description of Service

watch.ly provides network access control for AI agents, allowing you to approve, deny, and monitor network requests made by AI systems operating on your machines. The Service is available in the following tiers:

  • Free / Local — $0/month, single machine, local-only filtering with no cloud sync
  • Personal — $6.99/month, up to 3 machines, cloud-synced policies, SMS/push notifications, and 30-day audit logs
  • Enterprise — custom pricing, unlimited machines, team management, custom retention, and dedicated support

watch.ly filters network requests made by AI agents based on policies you configure. We are not responsible for the actions, outputs, or behavior of the AI agents themselves. Our Service controls network access only — it does not control, direct, or supervise the underlying AI systems.

3. Account Responsibilities

When you create an account, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
  • Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
  • Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false or misleading information.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to facilitate illegal activity of any kind
  • Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with the access controls provided by the Service
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
  • Use the Service to abuse, harass, or harm others
  • Resell or redistribute the Service without our written consent
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its related systems

5. Agent Access Control

watch.ly filters network requests made by AI agents running on your machines. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Access control decisions are based on the policies you configure — you are responsible for setting appropriate rules
  • The Service enforces or advises based on your configuration; we do not guarantee that all unwanted network activity will be blocked
  • We are not liable for any actions taken by AI agents outside the scope of our network filtering, including local file system operations, computation, or other non-network activity
  • Network traffic content is not stored by default — logging is opt-in and controlled by you
  • If you enable logging, data is retained according to your plan's retention policy as described in our Privacy Policy

6. SMS Notifications

watch.ly offers an optional SMS notification program for agent access request alerts.

Program Description

When enabled, watch.ly sends automated SMS messages to notify you of agent access requests that require your approval or denial. These are transactional messages triggered by AI agent activity on your machines.

Eligibility & Consent

To receive SMS notifications, you must be a registered watch.ly user who has:

  • Verified your phone number via a one-time passcode (OTP)
  • Explicitly opted in by checking the SMS consent checkbox, which includes disclosure that you agree to receive automated agent access alerts from watch.ly

Consent to receive SMS notifications is not a condition of purchasing or using the watch.ly service. You may use the Service without enabling SMS notifications.

Message Frequency & Rates

Message frequency varies based on your AI agent activity and notification preferences. Message and data rates may apply. You are responsible for any charges from your mobile carrier.

Opting Out

You can stop receiving SMS messages at any time by:

  • Replying STOP (or STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT) to any watch.ly message
  • Disabling SMS notifications in your dashboard at watch.ly

After opting out, you will not receive further SMS messages unless you re-enable notifications and re-consent.

Help

For assistance with SMS notifications, reply HELP to any watch.ly message, visit watch.ly/support, or email .

Delivery & Liability

We are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages caused by carrier network issues, device settings, or third-party provider (including Twilio and mobile carriers) failures. We are not liable for any carrier fees or charges associated with receiving SMS messages.

Data Sharing & Privacy

Your phone number is shared with Twilio, our SMS delivery provider, solely for the purpose of delivering notifications. SMS consent records are retained for compliance purposes. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

The watch.ly service, including its software, branding, documentation, and website content, is owned by WinrickLabs and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the Service without our written consent.

You retain full ownership of your data, access control configurations, and audit logs. We claim no rights over your content or configurations.

  • Paid plans are billed on a monthly recurring cycle starting from the date of subscription
