Terms of use

What Barge is

Barge runs coding-agent sessions for you on disposable cloud workers. You can send a repository and a task from your computer. You can also start a task from GitHub or a Linear issue. You follow the session from the dashboard and receive a draft pull request to review. Access during the beta is by invitation.

“Barge”, “we”, and “us” mean the getbarge.io and getbarge.dev operator. You can contact us at info@getbarge.io.

Who can use Barge

You can use Barge if all of the following are true:

• You have a Barge invitation.
• You give accurate account information and keep your password and invitation link confidential.

You may use Barge for work or for personal and hobby projects. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account.

Your repositories and permissions

Connect only repositories and accounts you are authorized to use. Grant only permissions you are allowed to grant. Barge requests specific GitHub permissions to restore source, push branches, open pull requests, and read status. An organization owner may need to approve installation of the GitHub App. Do not approve access you cannot grant.

Your content

Your repositories, tasks, and the resulting changes and pull requests remain yours. You give Barge limited permission to copy and process your content. This permission applies only to running the sessions you start and returning their results. We do not use your content to train models.

Content in a session is also processed by the providers you connect, under their terms and privacy policies. You are responsible for having the rights to submit what you send to Barge.

You are responsible for the personal information you submit to Barge. Submit it only when you have permission and a lawful basis to do so. Remove personal information that is not needed for your task. These responsibilities do not limit Barge’s obligations under applicable privacy law.

Your provider credentials and their charges

You supply a supported AI-provider credential. This can be an API key or a subscription connection offered by the app. Barge encrypts stored credentials and sends them to your workers so your agent can run.

Provider charges, plan terms, and rate limits remain between you and the provider. Barge does not sell you model usage. Removing a credential from Barge does not revoke it at the provider. Never put credentials in a task prompt, a repository, a chat, or an issue.

The beta pilot

Each non-admin workspace receives a 30-day pilot and 30 worker hours shared by its members. The pilot starts when Barge first admits compute for that workspace.

• There is no Barge platform or worker fee during the pilot. We do not take a payment card or automatically convert you to a paid plan. We do not charge you retroactively.
• Worker hours count while a worker exists for you. This includes provisioning, running, idle time between instructions, and failed or cancelled runs. Time spent queued without a worker does not count.
• A workspace can run up to five active workers by default. Each task has a two-hour limit. If your remaining allowance is smaller, that allowance limits the task.

When no worker hours remain, Barge pauses new compute and stops running workers. An administrator may grant extra hours. Available granted hours can fund compute after the 30-day pilot allowance ends. Grants are discretionary and not guaranteed. Your existing results remain accessible until you delete your account or normal retention removes them.

Generated code is yours to review

Sessions produce code and other output generated by third-party models. Draft pull requests are drafts: review them before merging, deploying, or relying on them. You control every merge.

We do not promise that generated output is correct, secure, free of infringement, or fit for any purpose. You must assess the output, including the licensing of what you merge.

Acceptable use

Do not use Barge to:

• Break the law or violate anyone’s rights, licenses, or agreements, including your providers’ terms.
• Upload malware, attack the service or other users, or probe for vulnerabilities you are not allowed to test.
• Bypass pilot limits, for example by creating extra accounts to bypass the worker allowance.
• Run unrelated workloads such as cryptocurrency mining.
• Submit other people’s credentials, secrets, or personal data you have no right to share.
• Resell or share your access outside your workspace.

Privacy

The Barge Privacy Notice explains what information we collect and why. It describes how long we keep information and how to contact us about it. It is part of these terms.

Suspension and the end of the pilot

We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms or your use risks harm to Barge or others. We may also suspend or end access for legal or security reasons. Where we can, we will tell you. You can stop using Barge at any time.

Your 30-day pilot allowance ends after 30 days. Available administrator-granted hours can fund compute after that allowance ends. Compute pauses when no hours remain, when the beta ends, or when your account is deleted. Your existing results remain accessible as described in “The beta pilot”.

Deleting your account

In the app, open Settings and select the Delete my account button. Confirm with a recent sign-in.

Confirmation signs you out everywhere and revokes CLI tokens. It blocks new sessions and queued work. It stops running workers.

Deletion removes your account data from Barge’s active systems.

Deletion does not erase copies outside Barge. GitHub branches, pull requests, and comments you created remain under your control on GitHub. Providers keep their own records under their own policies. Copies in Barge backups and logs expire on their normal schedules. Account deletion does not erase those copies immediately.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms we will publish a new version with its own effective date at the top of this page. If a change is material, we will ask you to accept the new version before you start new compute. We will never make you accept new terms to reach results you already have or to delete your account.

The version you accepted remains available. Send an email to info@getbarge.io if you need a copy of an earlier version.

Disclaimers

We may change or discontinue the beta. Barge may fail. We do not promise uninterrupted access or a support response time.

Limitation of liability

The following exclusions and limit apply to the maximum extent the law allows. Barge is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Barge is not liable for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.

Our total liability for any claim about the service has a limit. This limit is the greater of US$100 or your payments to us for the service in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow us to limit.

General

These terms, together with the Privacy Notice, are the whole agreement between you and us about the beta. California law governs these terms. This choice does not limit any rights you have under laws that cannot be excluded by agreement. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force, and not enforcing a provision once does not waive it.
