Terms of Service

Last updated: March 7, 2025

Beta Product — Important Limitations

MonkBot is a beta product. Features may be added, changed, or removed at any time without notice. The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We make no commitments regarding uptime, data preservation, performance, or the availability of third-party integrations. Your use of the beta is at your own risk.

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the MonkBot platform and website operated by MonkBot Inc. (“MonkBot,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

MonkBot is an AI-powered WordPress automation platform that allows users to manage their WordPress sites through natural language prompts. The Service may include, among other features:

  • AI-generated content creation and publishing.
  • Plugin and theme update automation.
  • WooCommerce order and inventory management.
  • Database introspection and querying.
  • Custom PHP code execution within a sandboxed environment.
  • Integration with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and other messaging platforms.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without notice or liability.

3. Accounts

You must register for an account to use the Service. You agree to provide accurate information and keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access via our contact page.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, at our sole discretion, without notice or liability, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.

4. Use of Third-Party AI Services

Disclosure: AI Provider Processing

Your prompts and related data are transmitted to third-party AI providers. MonkBot does not control and is not responsible for their handling of your data.

The Service relies on third-party AI providers including OpenAI and Anthropic to generate responses. By using MonkBot, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Your prompts, instructions, and related context will be transmitted to these providers.
  • Each provider's own terms of service and privacy policy govern their processing of your data.
  • MonkBot does not guarantee the accuracy, quality, or appropriateness of AI-generated outputs.
  • MonkBot is not responsible for actions taken on your WordPress sites based on AI-generated instructions — you are solely responsible for reviewing and approving any automated actions.
  • AI provider availability, pricing, and features may change without notice, which may affect the Service.

5. WordPress Abilities API and MCP Server

MonkBot routes your instructions and site data through its WordPress Abilities API and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to execute multi-step operations on your WordPress installations. You acknowledge that:

  • Data transmitted to these services is necessary for the Service to function.
  • MonkBot does not guarantee the reliability, security, or continued availability of these services during the beta phase.
  • You are responsible for the consequences of operations executed on your WordPress sites through MonkBot.
  • You should maintain your own backups of your WordPress sites independent of MonkBot.

6. Credits and Billing

Access to MonkBot features may require credits. Free plan users receive a limited credit allocation. Paid plans are billed as described on our Pricing page.

During the beta phase, pricing, credit allocations, and billing terms are subject to change. We will attempt to provide advance notice of material pricing changes. Credits are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. We reserve the right to adjust credit balances or plan limits at any time during the beta.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Violate any applicable law or regulation.
  • Execute operations on WordPress sites you do not own or are not authorized to manage.
  • Generate, distribute, or publish harmful, illegal, defamatory, or infringing content.
  • Attempt to circumvent rate limits, abuse credits, or exploit platform vulnerabilities.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service.
  • Use the Service in a manner that disrupts, degrades, or impairs its availability for other users.
  • Transmit malware, viruses, or other harmful code.
  • Harvest or scrape data from the Service in an automated manner without our written permission.

8. Your Content and Data

You retain ownership of the content and data you input into MonkBot. By using the Service, you grant MonkBot a limited, non-exclusive license to process your content solely to provide the Service (including transmitting it to third-party AI providers as described above).

You represent that you have all rights necessary to provide your content to MonkBot, and that doing so does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.

Do not input sensitive personal data (such as passwords, financial account numbers, government IDs, or health information) into MonkBot prompts. We are not responsible for the security of such data once transmitted to third-party AI providers.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, trademarks, and content (excluding user-provided content), is owned by MonkBot Inc. and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

AI-generated outputs produced by the Service may be used by you subject to the terms of the underlying AI providers. MonkBot makes no warranties regarding the originality or intellectual property status of AI-generated content.
