Terms of Service

1. Agreement to terms

These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and Artery Ventures, LLP ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), concerning your access to and use of the https://guidedreview.com website and the Guided Review Chrome browser extension, as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website, or application related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the "Site" or "Service").

You agree that by accessing the Site or installing or using the Extension, you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms of Use. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SITE AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Use at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" or "Effective date" of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of the Site after any revised Terms of Use are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

The Site is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Site.

2. Description of service

Guided Review is a browser extension and related website that helps users structure reviews of GitHub pull requests. The Service may include, without limitation: injecting UI into GitHub pull request pages; fetching pull request diffs; sending diff content to a large language model provider that you configure; generating ordered review units and commentary; displaying an overlay walkthrough; optionally authenticating with GitHub so you can submit review comments; and related documentation on the Website.

The Service is designed so that API keys, optional GitHub tokens, and review session data are stored in your browser. We do not operate a Guided Review backend that receives your API keys or stores your pull request content for the core review workflow. Processing of pull request content by your chosen LLM Provider is between you and that provider.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

3. Intellectual property rights

Unless otherwise indicated, the Site (including branding, marketing copy, and non-source materials we publish) is our proprietary property, and the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the "Marks") are owned or controlled by us or licensed to us, and are protected under applicable intellectual property laws of India and international conventions.

Site content and the Marks are provided "AS IS" for your information and personal use only. Except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use, no part of the Site and no Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without our express prior written permission.

Provided that you are eligible to use the Site, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Site and to install and use the Extension solely for your personal or internal business use, subject to these Terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.

Separately from these Terms, source code for Guided Review may be made available on public repositories (for example on GitHub). Rights to use, modify, and redistribute that source code are governed by the applicable open-source license (if any) and notices in the repository, not solely by the limited Site license in this section. Trademarks and hosted branding for guidedreview.com are not licensed merely because source code is available.

4. User representations

By using the Site or Extension, you represent and warrant that:

1. Any information you submit to us (for example support requests) will be true, accurate, current, and complete.
2. You have the legal capacity and agree to comply with these Terms of Use.
3. You are not a minor in the jurisdiction in which you reside.
4. You will not access the Site through automated or non-human means, whether through a bot, script, or otherwise, except as expressly permitted by the Service or for legitimate open-source development and testing of the Extension itself.

Certain features require you to supply credentials or configuration in the Extension, such as an LLM Provider API key and optional GitHub authentication. You agree to:

1. Keep API keys, tokens, and other credentials confidential and secure.
2. Use only credentials that you are authorized to use, and revoke or rotate them if compromised.
3. Accept full responsibility for all use of the Extension under your browser profile and credentials, including charges incurred with your LLM Provider.

6. Third-party services (GitHub and LLM Providers)

The Service depends on third-party platforms. By using the Extension, you acknowledge that:

1. Pull request diffs and related context are fetched from GitHub and may be sent to the LLM Provider you configure to generate review plans.
2. We do not claim ownership over your code, pull request content, or any intellectual property contained therein.
3. You are solely responsible for ensuring that sharing repository or pull request content with an LLM Provider does not violate employer policies, confidentiality agreements, or third-party rights.
4. Optional GitHub device-flow authentication enables the Extension to act on your behalf within the scopes granted; you may revoke access through GitHub or by clearing Extension storage.
5. Availability, accuracy, pricing, data retention, and privacy practices of GitHub and LLM Providers are governed solely by those third parties. We are not responsible for outages, policy changes, model errors, or data handling by those services.

7. AI-generated content disclaimer

Review plans, summaries, ordering, and other outputs generated with the assistance of LLM Providers are probabilistic and may be incomplete, incorrect, or misleading. The Service is a productivity aid for human reviewers; it does not replace professional judgment, security review, or compliance review. You are solely responsible for any review comments you submit and any decisions you make based on AI-generated guidance.

8. Fees and payment

The Service is currently offered without a fee charged by us. You remain responsible for any costs charged by third parties you use with the Extension, including LLM Provider usage fees and GitHub or browser-related costs. We reserve the right to introduce paid features or tiers in the future; if we do, we will update these Terms and disclose applicable pricing before charging you.
