Terms of Service
Effective date:
1. Parties and Acceptance
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute an agreement between Brokk, Inc., a Texas corporation operating under the SlopCop brand (“Brokk,” “SlopCop,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), and the individual or organization accessing or using the SlopCop services (“Customer” or “you”).
Brokk, Inc.
508 Kodiak Trail
Cedar Park, TX 78613
United States
[email protected]
By registering for an account, accessing the Services, or purchasing credits or a subscription, you agree to these Terms.
If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
2. Eligibility and Geographic Availability
SlopCop is intended for business, professional, and software-development purposes.
Individual developers may use the Services in a professional capacity without forming a separate legal entity.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into these Terms.
Paid purchases are currently available only to eligible customers with a United States billing country. Free access may be available internationally, subject to applicable laws and service restrictions.
Brokk may impose additional eligibility or geographic restrictions when reasonably necessary.
3. Description of Services
SlopCop provides software-development tools, including code checks, repository scans, findings, reports, rule-related workflows, integrations, and other functionality.
SlopCop is designed to help identify and prevent recurring software-development mistakes through automated checks and persistent engineering guardrails.
Certain capabilities may involve AI-assisted analysis. Other capabilities use deterministic checking and enforcement mechanisms.
Features may vary by account, workspace, plan, subscription, usage allowance, or product availability.
SlopCop does not guarantee that software analyzed through the Services is correct, secure, compliant, or free from defects.
4. Customer Content and Intellectual Property
You retain ownership of source code, repository content, patches, configuration files, and other materials submitted to the Services (“Customer Content”).
You grant Brokk a limited, nonexclusive license to access, process, transmit, store, and display Customer Content as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and support the Services, consistent with our Privacy Policy and applicable agreements.
You represent that you possess the necessary rights and permissions to submit Customer Content.
Brokk does not acquire ownership of your source code through your use of SlopCop.
Brokk and its licensors retain ownership of the Services, software, documentation, trademarks, and related intellectual property.
5. Accounts and Acceptable Use
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for activity conducted by authorized users.
You agree not to:
- Access repositories, systems, or information without authorization.
- Violate applicable laws or third-party intellectual property rights.
- Circumvent billing controls, usage restrictions, or security mechanisms.
- Interfere with the security, integrity, or operation of the Services.
- Use the Services to compromise third-party systems or distribute malicious software.
Brokk may restrict or suspend access to address fraud, abuse, security threats, nonpayment, or material violations of these Terms.
6. Pricing and Billing Models
SlopCop may offer one or more of the following billing arrangements:
6.1 Free Usage
Certain Services may be available without payment, subject to usage allowances, feature restrictions, or eligibility requirements.
Free allowances may be measured by checks, scans, credits, time periods, or other published usage metrics.
Free allowances do not create an entitlement to unlimited or perpetual access.
6.2 Prepaid Credits
Customers may purchase credits that are consumed when eligible paid operations are performed.
Credit-pack prices, credit consumption rates, and applicable usage rules are disclosed through the Services or the published pricing page.
Purchased credits do not currently expire automatically, although promotional credits may have separate expiration conditions.
Credits are contractual units of service usage, not cash, currency, deposits, or stored monetary accounts.
6.3 Recurring Subscriptions
If SlopCop offers subscription plans, customers may elect monthly, annual, or other disclosed billing periods.
A subscription may provide access to particular features, usage allowances, seats, workspaces, credits, or other entitlements specified at purchase.
Subscriptions renew automatically for successive billing periods unless canceled before renewal, except where a different arrangement is expressly disclosed.
The applicable subscription price, billing frequency, included benefits, and renewal terms will be displayed before purchase.
Subscription provisions apply only to customers who purchase an offered subscription plan.
6.4 Hybrid Subscription and Credit Plans
SlopCop may offer plans combining recurring subscriptions with included credits or usage allowances.
Under such plans:
- The subscription fee covers the benefits identified at purchase.
- Included credits or allowances may be consumed through eligible operations.
- Additional usage may require separately purchased credits or authorized overage charges.
- Unused included credits may expire or reset at the end of a billing period if clearly disclosed.
- Separately purchased credits are distinguished from subscription-included credits.
The applicable plan description will govern the treatment of included allowances, overages, and renewals.
6.5 Separately Negotiated Agreements
Paid engineering-assisted design partnerships, enterprise engagements, and other negotiated services may be governed by separate written agreements.
Where a signed agreement expressly conflicts with these Terms, that agreement controls to the extent of the conflict.
7. Credit Usage and Charging
Credit consumption depends on the applicable operation and published pricing.
Charges may be assessed when an operation is admitted or queued for processing.
Failed operations and scans canceled before processing begins are generally not charged. Operations canceled after processing begins may be charged.
Certain operations may result in a negative credit balance under the applicable usage rules. Subsequent credit purchases may first offset that balance.
SlopCop may offer measured pricing, volume pricing, promotional allowances, or other usage adjustments, as disclosed in the Services.
A free operation does not become chargeable solely because another pricing mechanism is introduced unless the applicable pricing terms expressly change.
8. Payment Authorization and Automatic Top-Up
Payments are processed through Stripe or another disclosed payment provider.
When purchasing credits or subscriptions, you authorize the applicable charges and agree to provide accurate billing information.
Your payment method may be saved by the payment provider for future authorized transactions.
If you enable automatic credit top-up, you authorize SlopCop to charge your saved payment method when the disclosed replenishment conditions are satisfied.
Automatic top-up is optional and may be disabled through available billing controls.
Disabling automatic top-up does not reverse transactions already initiated.
If SlopCop introduces metered overage billing, such charges will apply only where the customer has been informed of and authorized the applicable billing arrangement.
Applicable taxes, if any, will be disclosed and collected as required by law.
9. Subscription Renewal and Cancellation
If you purchase a recurring subscription, you authorize Brokk to charge the applicable subscription fee at each renewal until cancellation.
You may cancel an eligible self-service subscription through the available account controls or by contacting [email protected].
Unless otherwise disclosed or required by law:
- Cancellation prevents future renewals.
- Cancellation does not automatically refund the current billing period.
- Paid subscription access continues through the end of the current paid term.
- Unused subscription-included allowances may expire when the subscription term ends.
- Separately purchased credits are not automatically forfeited solely because a subscription is canceled.
If Brokk materially changes a subscription's price or renewal terms, it will provide notice and obtain any consent required by applicable law before the change takes effect.
Brokk will not treat disabling automatic credit top-up as cancellation of a separate recurring subscription.
10. Refunds
Credit purchases and subscription payments are generally final, subject to the Refund & Cancellation Policy and applicable law.
Brokk may approve discretionary refunds for unused mistaken credit purchases, duplicate transactions, billing errors, or unintended automatic top-ups.
Subscription refunds, partial-period refunds, and renewal disputes are addressed in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
Brokk will honor nonwaivable statutory refund and cancellation rights.
11. Workspace Archiving and Deletion
Archiving an eligible workspace preserves its existing purchased-credit balance and pauses applicable workspace activity as supported by the Services.
Archiving does not necessarily cancel a separate recurring subscription. Subscription cancellation must be completed through the applicable billing process.
Permanent workspace or account deletion may result in forfeiture of unused credits, following clear notice and subject to applicable law.
Subscription-included allowances may be subject to separate expiration conditions.
Deletion and archiving are distinct actions, and some account types may not support all available workspace-management features.
12. Changes to Pricing and Services
Brokk may modify prices, subscription plans, free allowances, usage rates, features, and service availability prospectively.
Material changes affecting recurring charges will be communicated before they take effect as required by applicable law.
Previously incurred charges will not be retroactively repriced.
If a material pricing or service change substantially affects the usability of previously purchased credits, customers may contact [email protected] for review.
Brokk may discontinue or modify a subscription offering, subject to existing commitments and applicable notice requirements.
13. Privacy and Data Retention
Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information, source-code-related data, billing information, and other service data are processed.
Certain findings, reports, source-code excerpts, usage records, and billing records may remain stored according to applicable retention practices.
Customers may request eligible data deletion through [email protected].
Some information may be retained for accounting, legal compliance, security, dispute resolution, or other legally permitted purposes.
14. Service Availability and Third-Party Integrations
SlopCop may depend on third-party repository hosting platforms, infrastructure providers, payment processors, and AI services.
Brokk is not responsible for outages or restrictions imposed by third-party services outside its reasonable control.
We may perform maintenance, security updates, and service changes that temporarily affect availability.
15. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION.
SLOPCOP DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ITS CHECKS, SCANS, FINDINGS, OR RECOMMENDATIONS WILL IDENTIFY EVERY DEFECT, SECURITY VULNERABILITY, OR ENGINEERING PROBLEM.
Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded.
16. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BROKK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, DATA, OR GOODWILL.
BROKK'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY THE CUSTOMER TO BROKK FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW OR TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED.
17. Suspension and Termination
Brokk may suspend or terminate accounts for material violations, fraud, abuse, security threats, or nonpayment.
Refunded, reversed, fraudulent, or disputed purchases may result in corresponding credit adjustments.
Customers may discontinue use of the Services and request eligible account deletion.
Termination does not eliminate outstanding payment obligations or provisions intended to survive termination.
18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding conflict-of-law principles.
Subject to mandatory applicable law, disputes arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Travis County, Texas, or the appropriate federal court serving Travis County, Texas.
The parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
19. General Provisions
If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective.
Failure to enforce a provision does not constitute a waiver.
Customers may not assign these Terms without Brokk's consent, except where permitted by law.
Brokk may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, restructuring, financing, or sale of substantially all relevant assets.
These Terms, applicable pricing and plan disclosures, and the Refund & Cancellation Policy govern self-service purchases unless a separately executed agreement provides otherwise.
