These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you ("Customer" or "you") and SteelTree, Inc. ("SteelTree," "we," or "us") governing your access to and use of the SteelTree system (the "Service").
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
1. The SteelTree Service
SteelTree provides a cloud-based operational intelligence system that enables organizations to design, deploy, and operate AI-driven workflows, automation, and decision intelligence environments.

No ownership rights are transferred.

3.1 Free and Paid Plans
The Service may be offered under free and paid subscription plans. Free plans may include limited functionality, usage restrictions, or capacity limits.
3.2 Upgrades
You may upgrade from a free plan to a paid subscription at any time. Your continued use of the Service following an upgrade constitutes acceptance of the applicable paid plan and pricing.

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless canceled prior to the renewal date. You authorize SteelTree (and its payment processor) to charge the applicable subscription fees upon renewal.

4. SteelTree Intellectual Property
SteelTree retains all rights, title, and interest in the Service, including:

- Automation frameworks
- Operational intelligence systems
- Algorithms and models
These are proprietary to SteelTree.
5. Customer Data
You retain ownership of all data you submit to the Service ("Customer Data"). SteelTree will not sell Customer Data.
6. Data Use, Isolation, and AI Processing
Customer Data is processed solely to provide the Service to that Customer.
SteelTree does not use Customer Data, including inputs, outputs, or operational activity, to train or improve any shared, generalized, or public AI models, or to benefit other customers.
Customer-specific workflows, system behaviors, and operational intelligence are generated and maintained within that Customer's environment and are not shared across customers.
Use of the Service may improve outcomes within the Customer's own environment, but such improvements are not transferred or reused across other customers.
SteelTree may improve the performance, reliability, and functionality of the Service using anonymized, aggregated, and non-customer-specific system-level information that does not include Customer Data or identifiable operational context.
Customer-specific operational intelligence remains confined to the Customer's instance of the Service and is not retained for reuse following termination.

SteelTree may modify, update, or discontinue the Service or any part of it at any time. SteelTree does not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
