Plain-language summary (not a substitute for the text below). You get a revocable licence to use an AgentID and the platform for the paid period. You are responsible for your agents. We do not guarantee that an AgentID makes an agent safe. Our liability is capped. Disputes: Armenian law and Yerevan courts; for US users individual arbitration with a 30-day opt-out; EU consumers keep the protections of their home country.
Language. This document is drafted in English. Translations are provided for convenience only; in case of conflict the English text prevails. Operator. Aleksei Talamanov, a private entrepreneur registered in the Republic of Armenia (state registration number 20292045, TIN 286.1582228), with the registered address at 27 N. Tigranyan str., Arabkir, Yerevan 0014, Republic of Armenia (“Operator”, “we”, “us”). Contact: legal@agentid-registry.com.
1. Definitions
“Agent” means a software system, model-driven or otherwise, registered or submitted for registration on the Platform. “AgentID” means the unique identifier in the format AID-<country>-<region>-<city>-<year>-<sequence>-<check> issued by the Operator together with a Certificate. “Certificate” means the digital certificate binding an AgentID to a public key. “Passport” means the record of an Agent held in the Registry, consisting of a Public Part and a Private Part. “Registry” means the database of Passports operated by the Operator. “Platform” means the website at https://agentid-registry.com, the Registry, the APIs, SDKs, the participant database and all related services. “Creator” or “you” means the natural or legal person holding an Account. “Account” means the Creator’s user account. “Territory” means the country, region and city recorded as the place of creation of an Agent. “Documents” means these Terms, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Privacy Policy, the Agent Rules and Sanctions Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Refund and Cancellation Policy, the Cookie Policy and, where applicable, the Service Level Agreement, all as published at https://agentid-registry.com/legal. “Consumer” means a natural person acting for purposes outside their trade, business, craft or profession.
2. The agreement and how it is formed
2.1 These Terms, together with the other Documents, form a binding agreement between you and the Operator. You accept them by ticking the acceptance box and clicking “Create account” (or an equivalent button). The Operator records the time, IP address, device, version and hash of each document you accept; those records are conclusive evidence of acceptance absent manifest error (for a Consumer, strong prima facie evidence that the Consumer may rebut).
2.2 If you accept on behalf of an organization, you warrant that you are authorised to bind it, and “you” includes that organization.
2.3 The agreement is concluded in English, in electronic form. The parties agree that electronic acceptance satisfies any requirement of a written or signed agreement, including under Articles 7 and 8 of the Law of the Republic of Armenia on Commercial Arbitration and the laws on electronic documents and electronic signatures.
3. Changes to the Terms
3.1 We may change the Documents. We will give at least 30 days’ notice by e-mail to the Account address and in the console before a change takes effect, except where a change is required by law or addresses an urgent security risk, in which case it takes effect on notice.
3.2 Material changes require your renewed click-acceptance at your next sign-in. If you do not accept, you may terminate under Section 15 before the effective date and, for prepaid periods not yet started, receive a refund under the Refund and Cancellation Policy. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
4. Eligibility and sanctions compliance
4.1 You must be at least 18 years old and have full legal capacity, or act through an authorised representative of an organization.
4.2 You may not use the Platform if you, your organization, or any person that owns or controls you is (a) listed on a sanctions list of the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States (including OFAC’s SDN list) or the Republic of Armenia, or (b) located, organised or ordinarily resident in a territory subject to comprehensive sanctions. You warrant that you will not use the Platform in breach of export-control or sanctions laws. We may screen Accounts and refuse, suspend or terminate service without liability where screening indicates a risk.
5. Accounts and security
5.1 You must provide accurate, current and complete information and keep it updated. You are responsible for everything done under your Account and by your Agents, whether or not authorised by you, until you notify us of a compromise at security@agentid-registry.com.
5.2 You must protect your password and your Agents’ private keys. Private keys are generated on your device and are never transmitted to or held by the Operator; if you lose a private key we cannot recover it, and a new key must be enrolled through key rotation. Two-factor authentication is mandatory for Accounts with more than ten Agents and may be required for all Accounts.
6. Nature of an AgentID; no endorsement
6.1 On issuance we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the AgentID and Certificate for the paid period, subject to the Documents. An AgentID is not property, is not a licence or permit to operate, is not a government-issued document and confers no rights against third parties.
6.2 An AgentID is a statement of identity and accountability, not of quality, safety, lawfulness or fitness. The Operator does not test, supervise, control or endorse Agents, does not review the content of their outputs and is not a party to any transaction between an Agent and a third party. Verification results reflect only the Registry record at the time of the query.
6.3 The Operator may add, modify or withdraw features of the Platform, provided that core functions (issuance, verification, the console) remain available during the paid period.
7. Passports; accuracy; public listing
7.1 You warrant that all Passport data — creator identity, date of creation, place of creation, skills, model and purpose — is true, complete and not misleading, and that you hold all rights necessary to register the Agent. Providing false information is a material breach and entitles the Operator to revoke without refund.
7.2 The Public Part of a Passport (AgentID, agent name, Territory, registration date, status, declared and certified skills, creator type and, for organizations, organization name) is published only if you give separate consent at registration or in the console. Individuals’ names are not published by default. You may withdraw consent at any time; the existence, status and status history of an AgentID remain resolvable by anyone querying that AgentID, because that is the purpose of a registry. You acknowledge that status entries (including “suspended”, “quarantined”, “revoked”, “expired”) are factual records of actions taken in the operation of the Registry, are published in good faith and in the legitimate interest of participants, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you waive any claim (including defamation or injurious falsehood) arising from the good-faith publication of such status, your remedy being the appeal process in Section 10.3.
7.3 The Private Part (contact of the responsible person, verification documents, wallet addresses used for payment, private logs) is confidential under the Confidentiality Agreement and the Privacy Policy.
8. Fees, taxes, renewals
8.1 Fees are stated at https://agentid-registry.com/pricing and in the console at the time of purchase, are payable annually in advance and are exclusive of VAT, GST, sales tax and similar taxes, which are added where applicable and shown before you pay. Payments are processed by third-party payment providers (which may act as merchant of record) and, for crypto-assets, by a licensed provider that converts them on receipt; the Operator never holds crypto-assets on your behalf.
8.2 AgentIDs and subscriptions renew automatically for successive one-year periods at the then-current price unless you turn off auto-renewal in the console before the renewal date. We send reminders 30, 7 and 1 days before renewal. If a renewal payment fails, the AgentID enters a 30-day grace period with status “grace”, after which it is suspended and, after a further 60 days, archived with status “expired”.
8.3 Refunds and cancellation are governed by the Refund and Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these Terms and contains the rights of Consumers in the European Union, the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions with mandatory withdrawal rights.
8.5 If you are a business or organization and you submit through the Platform personal data of your personnel or responsible persons for which you determine the purposes and means, the Data Processing Agreement (document DPA-01) applies to that data and is incorporated into this agreement by reference and deemed accepted on registration; an executed copy is available on request.
8.4 You are responsible for any bank, card or network charges on your side and for any withholding taxes required by your jurisdiction; amounts received by the Operator must equal the invoiced amount.
9. Acceptable use
Use of the Platform is subject to the Acceptable Use Policy and, for each Agent, the Agent Rules and Sanctions Policy. In particular you must not: use an Agent for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive or harmful purposes; impersonate another creator or Agent; transfer, share or lend a Certificate or private key to another Agent or person; circumvent verification, rate limits, quotas or security measures; scrape, harvest or bulk-extract Registry data; reverse-engineer the Platform except as permitted by mandatory law; or interfere with the operation of the Platform or other participants.
10. Suspension, revocation and quarantine
10.1 The Operator may suspend an AgentID or Account, or place an Agent in quarantine (restricting its interaction through the Platform) immediately and without prior notice where (a) we reasonably believe there is a breach of the Documents, (b) a security incident or credible abuse report requires it, (c) a court, regulator or law-enforcement authority requires it, or (d) fees are unpaid after the grace period. We will inform you as soon as reasonably practicable, unless prohibited by law.
10.2 The Operator may revoke an AgentID for material breach, repeated breach, false Passport data, use of the Agent in criminal activity, or where required by law. Revocation is permanent; the AgentID is never reissued and remains in the Registry with status “revoked”.
10.3 You may appeal a suspension, quarantine or revocation within 14 days through the console. The Platform Arbitration Panel decides within 10 business days. The decision is final within the Platform, without prejudice to your rights under Section 17.
10.4 No fees are refunded for a period during which an AgentID was suspended or after revocation for breach.
11. Intellectual property and licences
11.1 The Platform, the Registry, the Registry database (as a whole and as a collection), the taxonomies, the software, the documentation, the AgentID Standard text, and the names and marks “AgentID”, “AgentID Registry” and the logo are owned by or licensed to the Operator and protected by copyright, database, trademark and other laws. Except for the licences expressly granted, no rights are transferred.
11.2 You grant the Operator a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, display and distribute the Passport data for the purposes of operating the Registry, providing verification, generating statistics and enforcing the Documents, for as long as the Registry retains the record. You retain ownership of your Agents and their outputs.
11.3 The AgentID Standard specification is published under the AgentID Standard Open Licence, which permits implementation of the standard but does not permit use of the AgentID marks except as that licence allows.
11.4 Feedback you provide may be used by the Operator without restriction or compensation.
12. Your warranties and indemnity
12.1 You warrant that (a) you own or control each Agent you register and have authority to bind it to the Agent Rules, (b) the Agent’s operation is lawful in every jurisdiction where it acts, (c) you hold all licences, consents and rights required for the Agent’s activities and data processing, and (d) you will maintain the ability to stop the Agent at any time.
12.2 You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Operator, its affiliates, contractors, territory partners and their respective officers, employees and agents from and against all third-party claims, and the resulting damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) and any fines imposed on you, arising out of or related to (a) your Agents’ acts or omissions, (b) your breach of the Documents or of law, (c) your Passport data, or (d) any dispute between you or your Agents and a third party. We will notify you of a claim and allow you to control the defence, provided you do not settle in a way that admits fault by, or imposes obligations on, the Operator without our written consent.
13. Disclaimers
13.1 THE PLATFORM, THE REGISTRY, AGENTIDS, CERTIFICATES, VERIFICATION RESULTS AND ALL INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.
13.2 In particular the Operator does not warrant that: an AgentID will be recognised by any third party, government or platform; the Registry will detect every unregistered, impersonating or malicious Agent; verification prevents any loss; an Agent will behave as described in its Passport; or the Platform will meet your requirements.
13.3 Nothing in this Section limits warranties that cannot be excluded by law, including statutory guarantees owed to Consumers in the European Union, the United Kingdom or Australia.
14. Limitation of liability
14.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, OR FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY AGENT, CREATOR, PARTNER OR OTHER THIRD PARTY, HOWEVER ARISING AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
14.2 THE OPERATOR’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE DOCUMENTS OR THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID TO THE OPERATOR UNDER THE APPLICABLE PLAN OR ORDER IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY AND (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (USD 100). There is no separate absolute ceiling; the cap scales with what you paid.
14.3 The limitations in this Section do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence where the applicable law prohibits its limitation, to statutory rights of Consumers that cannot be waived, or to liability for damage arising from infringement of data-protection law (including Article 82 GDPR and UK GDPR) that cannot be limited. Where the law of a Consumer’s country of residence provides a different mandatory rule, that rule applies to that Consumer to the extent required.
14.4 You acknowledge that the fees reflect this allocation of risk and that the Operator would not provide the Platform without it.
15. Term, termination and effects
15.1 The agreement begins on acceptance and continues while you have an Account. You may close your Account at any time in the console; closure does not entitle you to a refund except as stated in the Refund and Cancellation Policy.
15.2 The Operator may terminate the agreement (a) on 30 days’ notice for convenience, refunding prepaid fees for periods not yet started, or (b) immediately for material breach, for the reasons in Section 10, or if the Operator ceases to operate the Registry.
15.3 On termination your licence to use AgentIDs ends; AgentIDs remain in the Registry with status “expired” or “revoked” so that history stays verifiable; the Public Part is anonymised on request in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Sections 6.2, 7.3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.3, 16, 17 and 18 survive termination.
16. Governing law
16.1 These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of them are governed by the laws of the Republic of Armenia, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
16.2 If you are a Consumer, you also benefit from the mandatory provisions of consumer-protection law of your country of habitual residence that cannot be derogated from by agreement — including, without limitation, consumers in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Singapore (Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act; Unfair Contract Terms Act) and the United Arab Emirates (Federal Consumer Protection Law) — and nothing in this agreement deprives you of them or of the protection of provisions that cannot be waived under that law.
17. Dispute resolution
17.1 Informal resolution first. Before starting any proceeding, the party raising a dispute must send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought to legal@agentid-registry.com (or, from the Operator, to your Account e-mail). The parties will try in good faith to resolve the dispute within 60 days of the notice, including at least one telephone or video conference between the individuals concerned (and, for a represented party, their counsel). No proceeding may be started, and all limitation periods are tolled, during this period.
17.2 Business users, and non-Consumer users, outside the United States. Disputes not resolved under 17.1 are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Yerevan, Republic of Armenia. This Section does not apply to a Consumer: a Consumer’s disputes are governed by 17.7. The Operator may nevertheless seek injunctive relief or enforce an award in any jurisdiction.
17.3 Users in the United States — binding individual arbitration. If you are located in the United States, any dispute not resolved under 17.1 shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (for Consumers) or Commercial Arbitration Rules (for businesses), including its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, as then in effect, before a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section. For Consumers located in the United States the seat of arbitration is in the United States, in the federal judicial district of the Consumer’s residence, and the Federal Arbitration Act governs both this Section and the conduct of the arbitration; hearings may be held by video conference or, at the Consumer’s election, in the county of their residence. For business users in the United States the seat is Yerevan, Republic of Armenia, with hearings available by video conference. Armenian substantive law applies only to the extent its application to a US Consumer is not unconscionable or contrary to a non-waivable protection of the Consumer’s home state, which protections are preserved. The arbitrator shall apply Section 14 and may award relief only to the individual party seeking it and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator, not a court, decides all questions of arbitrability, including the scope, validity and enforceability of this Section, except that a court decides the enforceability of the class-action waiver in 17.4. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court instead. Arbitration fees are allocated under the AAA rules; the Operator will pay all AAA filing and arbitrator fees for Consumer claims under USD 10,000 unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous. The award is final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, including under the New York Convention.
17.4 CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER (UNITED STATES). YOU AND THE OPERATOR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND EACH WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim for relief, that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed and litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction in the federal judicial district of the claimant’s residence (or, for a business user, the courts of Yerevan), and the remaining claims shall proceed in arbitration. A claim for public injunctive relief that cannot be waived under applicable law (including under California law per McGill v. Citibank) is reserved to be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction and is not subject to, or stayed by, this arbitration agreement; the balance of the dispute proceeds in arbitration.
17.5 Coordinated filings. If 25 or more similar demands are filed by or with the assistance of the same counsel or organization, the parties agree that (a) the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules apply, (b) counsel for the claimants and the Operator shall each select 10 demands to proceed first, and the remaining demands shall be held in abeyance until those are resolved, with limitation periods tolled, and (c) after the first proceedings, the parties shall mediate the remaining demands in good faith before they proceed. Nothing in this clause delays a demand for more than 18 months in total; if a court finds this clause unenforceable, the remaining demands proceed individually under 17.3.
17.6 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of Sections 17.3–17.5 by e-mailing legal@agentid-registry.com from your Account e-mail within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and Account e-mail and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect the rest of the Terms. If we later change Sections 17.3–17.5, you have a fresh 30-day right to opt out of that change from the date of notice.
17.7 Consumers (all jurisdictions outside the United States). You may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of habitual residence, and the Operator may bring proceedings against you only there; you keep every mandatory protection of that law. Consumers in the EU/EEA may also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. (US Consumers: see 17.3–17.6.) The Operator is not obliged, and does not undertake, to participate in alternative dispute resolution before consumer arbitration bodies unless required by law.
17.8 Limitation period. To the extent permitted by law, any claim against the Operator must be brought within one year after the cause of action arises.
18. General
18.1 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including failures of cloud, network or payment providers, cyber-attacks, government action, sanctions, war, epidemics or natural events. 18.2 Notices to the Operator: legal@agentid-registry.com; to you: your Account e-mail and the console; deemed received the next business day. 18.3 Assignment. You may not assign the agreement without our consent. The Operator may assign it, in whole or in part, to a successor of the Registry business or an affiliate, including on conversion of the sole proprietorship into a company, with notice. 18.4 Entire agreement; order of precedence. The Documents are the entire agreement. In case of conflict: an executed Order Form or Enterprise Agreement, then these Terms, then the other Documents. 18.5 Severability. Invalid provisions are replaced by valid ones closest in effect; the remainder stays in force. 18.6 No waiver. Failure to enforce is not a waiver. 18.7 Relationship. Independent contractors; no agency, partnership or fiduciary relationship. 18.8 Third parties. Territory partners and indemnified persons under Section 12 may enforce the provisions that benefit them; otherwise no third-party rights. 18.9 Export. The Platform may be subject to export controls; you will comply with them. 18.10 Electronic records. The Operator’s system logs and acceptance records are admissible as evidence of the acts they record.
