Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-03-07

1. Service Description

Run402 provides cloud infrastructure for developers and AI agents: PostgreSQL databases, REST APIs, authentication, file storage, row-level security, and static site hosting. Services are provisioned and paid for via the x402 protocol (USDC on Base) or via prepaid allowance funded through Stripe. Run402 is operated by Kychee, Inc..

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Run402 — including provisioning a project, deploying a site, or calling any API endpoint — you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, and the Legal Notices. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

3. Pricing and Payment

The prototype tier is free — it uses testnet USDC (no real money) to verify wallet and x402 payment setup. Production tiers (hobby, team) require real money. Run402 offers prepaid leases with hard usage caps — no overage charges. Production payment is accepted via x402 USDC micropayments on the Base network or via prepaid Run402 credits funded through Stripe checkout. All payments are non-refundable. Lease durations, storage limits, and API call limits are specified at the time of provisioning.

KMS contract wallets: $0.04/day per wallet ($1.20/month, billed daily as kms_wallet_rental). Wallet creation requires $1.20 in cash credit (30 days of rent). Contract calls are billed at chain gas at-cost plus a $0.000005 per-call KMS sign fee. Both line items are visible on the project's billing history.

3a. KMS contract wallets are non-custodial

Run402 provides KMS-backed signing infrastructure, not fund custody. A KMS contract wallet is a cryptographic key inside AWS KMS that signs Ethereum transactions on your behalf. The on-chain native-token (ETH) balance at the wallet's address is held on the blockchain — not by Run402, not by Kychee, not by AWS.

  1. Run402 provides KMS-backed signing infrastructure, not fund custody.
  2. You are solely responsible for managing the on-chain native-token (ETH) balance of your wallets, including funding gas, monitoring balances, and recovering or draining funds before any wallet lifecycle event that would render the key unusable.
  3. Run402 has no obligation to recover, refund, or compensate for funds lost due to wallet suspension or deletion.
  4. The drain endpoint and recovery address features are OPTIONAL safety nets provided as a convenience, not guarantees. Run402 does not warrant their availability or correctness in any specific circumstance.
  5. If you do not pay rent, drain the wallet, or set a recovery address before the 90-day suspension grace period ends, on-chain funds at the wallet address become permanently inaccessible to anyone, including run402. The on-chain address still exists, but no key exists to sign for it.

This is non-negotiable and is enforced through (a) this terms-of-service section, (b) the disclosure on the billing page, (c) warning email language sent on days 60, 75, and 88 of suspension, (d) a non_custodial_notice field in every wallet-creating API response and every suspension-related HTTP 402 error.

By provisioning a KMS contract wallet you acknowledge that the relationship is non-custodial and that Run402 has no fiduciary duty regarding on-chain funds at the wallet address.

4. Your Content and Intellectual Property

You retain all rights to the code, data, and content you store or deploy on Run402. Run402 does not claim any ownership of, or license to, your content. You grant Run402 only the limited rights necessary to provide the service (e.g., storing your data, serving your static sites).

5. AI-Generated Code

Run402 is designed to be used by AI agents. Run402 does not review, audit, or verify the code that agents or developers deploy. You are solely responsible for reviewing, testing, and validating any application before use — particularly before handling sensitive data or deploying to production.

6. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use Run402 to host, deploy, distribute, or facilitate any of the following:

7. User-Generated Content and Hosted Sites

No Endorsement

Developer Responsibility

You are solely responsible for all content you deploy, store, or make available through Run402 — including content generated by AI agents acting on your behalf. "Your content" includes your application code, database records, uploaded files, and any content your application makes available to end users.

Right to Review and Remove

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

Run402 is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Run402 and its operators, affiliates, and contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the service.

In no event shall our total liability exceed the amount you paid to Run402 in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Run402, its operators, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: your use of the service, your content, your applications, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

11. Right to Suspend or Terminate

Run402 may immediately suspend or terminate your project, site, or account — without prior notice or refund — for any of the following reasons:

Run402 may take down individual sites or databases without terminating your entire project. No refund is provided for termination for cause.

12. DMCA Safe Harbor

Run402 complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). If you believe that content hosted on Run402 infringes your copyright, please send a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent with the following information:

DMCA notices should be sent to: legal@kychee.com

Counter-Notification

If your content was removed due to a DMCA notice and you believe this was in error, you may submit a counter-notification including: identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was a mistake, your contact information, and consent to jurisdiction. Run402 will forward counter-notifications to the original complainant.

Repeat Infringers

Run402 will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers.

13. Modifications to the Service

Run402 may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time without notice. We shall not be liable for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuance.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when changes were last made. Continued use of Run402 after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

15. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Legal Notices, constitute the entire agreement between you and Run402 regarding the service.
