Terms of Service - AT Container Registry (atcr.io)

1. Description of Service

AT Container Registry is an OCI-compatible container registry built on the AT Protocol. The Service allows you to store, distribute, and manage container images using your AT Protocol identity.

2. Accounts and Access

2.1 AT Protocol Identity

Access to the Service requires an AT Protocol identity (DID). You are responsible for maintaining the security of your PDS credentials and any device tokens issued by the Service.

2.2 Account Responsibility

You are responsible for all activity under your account, whether authorized by you or not. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

2.3 Age Requirement

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to use the Service to:

• Store or distribute malware, viruses, or malicious code
• Store or distribute illegal content under applicable law
• Infringe on intellectual property rights of others
• Store content you do not have the right to distribute
• Circumvent or abuse usage quotas or rate limits
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
• Use the Service for cryptocurrency mining or similarly resource-intensive activities unrelated to container distribution
• Impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity

We reserve the right to determine what constitutes a violation of these terms.

4. Content and Intellectual Property

4.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of container images and other content you upload to the Service. By uploading content, you grant us a license to store, cache, and distribute that content as necessary to operate the Service.

4.2 Content-Addressed Storage

The Service uses content-addressed, deduplicated storage. Identical image layers uploaded by different users are stored once and shared. This means:

• You cannot delete blob data that is also referenced by other users
• Blob data alone cannot identify you; only the associated records link content to your identity

4.3 Public Data

AT Protocol records are public by design. Container image references, tags, and metadata associated with your identity are publicly visible. Do not store sensitive information in image tags, labels, or other public metadata.

4.4 Content Removal

We may remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law. We may also remove content in response to valid legal requests.

5. Usage Quotas and Limits

5.1 Free Tier

The Service offers a free tier subject to usage quotas. These quotas may include limits on storage, bandwidth, or number of repositories. Current quotas are published in your account settings.

5.2 Quota Changes

We may adjust free tier quotas at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes, but continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

5.3 Paid Tiers

Paid tiers with higher quotas may be offered in the future. Paid tier terms will be provided at the time of purchase.

6. Service Availability

6.1 No SLA for Free Tier

The free tier is provided on a best-effort basis. We make no guarantees regarding uptime, availability, or performance. The Service may be unavailable due to maintenance, infrastructure issues, or resource constraints.

6.2 Service Changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

6.3 Data Durability

While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, we do not guarantee data durability. You are responsible for maintaining backups of your container images.

7. AT Protocol Considerations

7.1 Distributed Architecture

The Service operates on the AT Protocol, a distributed network. Data written to your PDS is controlled by you or your PDS hosting provider, not by us.

7.2 Records on Your PDS

When you use the Service, records are written to your PDS under the io.atcr.* namespace. We can create, update, and delete these records only while you have granted us OAuth access. Revoking access does not automatically delete existing records.

7.3 No Control Over Your PDS

We do not control your PDS. If your PDS is offline or your PDS provider terminates your account, we cannot restore your AT Protocol records.

8. Termination

8.1 By You

You may stop using the Service at any time. To delete your data, use the account deletion option in settings or contact us.

8.2 By Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to:

• Violation of these Terms
• Abuse of the Service or its infrastructure
• Extended inactivity
• Legal requirements

8.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, we will delete your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Deduplicated blob data referenced by other users will not be deleted.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 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, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $50 USD, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AT Container Registry, its operators, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of:

• Your use of the Service
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights
• Content you upload to the Service

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

14. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration or in the courts of our jurisdiction, at our discretion.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

16. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and AT Container Registry regarding your use of the Service.
