3. Description of Service
Temporal Cortex is a calendar scheduling infrastructure platform that provides:
- Deterministic temporal computation (datetime resolution, timezone conversion, duration computation)
- Cross-provider calendar integration (Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook)
- Availability computation across multiple calendars
- Atomic meeting booking with distributed locking (Two-Phase Commit)
- Deterministic recurring event expansion (Truth Engine)
- An MCP server for AI agent integration
- A portal dashboard for configuration and management
The Service is available in two modes:
- Platform (cloud-hosted): Operated by AuthBlock with managed infrastructure, authentication, and multi-tenant isolation.
- Local (self-hosted): Run entirely on your own machine with no cloud dependency. Self-hosted use is governed by the applicable open source license(s), not these Terms, except where you access AuthBlock's cloud services.
4. Account Registration and Security
To use the Platform, you must create an account through our authentication provider. You agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete registration information
- Maintain the security and confidentiality of your account credentials and API keys
- Not share your account credentials or API keys with unauthorized parties
- Promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your account
- Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe have been compromised, are being used fraudulently, or are in violation of these Terms.
5. Subscription Plans and Billing
The Service is offered under the following Subscription Plans:
- Starter (free): Core scheduling features with usage limits
- Pro: Unlimited scheduling for individual users
- Growth: Expanded usage limits for developers
- Scale: High-volume scheduling with team management
- Enterprise: Custom terms, dedicated support, and enhanced SLAs
For paid plans:
- Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) and renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date
- All fees are exclusive of taxes, which you are responsible for paying
- No refunds are provided for partial billing periods, except where required by applicable law
- We may change pricing with at least 30 days' written notice; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new pricing
6. License Grant
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, AuthBlock grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service during the term of your Subscription Plan, solely for your internal business or personal purposes in accordance with the applicable documentation.
This license does not include the right to: (a) sublicense, sell, or distribute the Service to third parties; (b) modify or create derivative works of the proprietary components of the Service; or (c) use the Service to build a competing product or service.
7. Open Source Components
Certain components of Temporal Cortex are made available under open source licenses, specifically the MIT License and Apache License 2.0, as identified in the applicable source code repositories. Your use of Open Source Components is governed solely by the terms of their respective open source licenses.
In the event of a conflict between these Terms and an applicable open source license with respect to any Open Source Component, the open source license shall prevail for that component.
The proprietary components of the Service (including the Platform, Portal, API infrastructure, and safety systems) remain the exclusive property of AuthBlock and are not subject to any open source license.
8. Customer Data Ownership
You retain all ownership rights to your Customer Data. As between AuthBlock and you, Customer Data is and remains your property.
You grant AuthBlock a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to access, use, process, copy, transmit, store, and display Customer Data solely to the extent necessary to: (a) provide and maintain the Service; (b) prevent or address service or technical problems; (c) comply with applicable law; and (d) as otherwise expressly permitted under these Terms or our Privacy Policy.
We will not sell, rent, or lease Customer Data to third parties. We will not use Customer Data for advertising purposes or to train general-purpose machine learning models.
We may create and use aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data derived from Customer Data for purposes of improving the Service and generating benchmarks, provided that such data cannot reasonably be used to identify you or any individual.
For enterprise customers, data processing obligations are further specified in our Data Processing Addendum (DPA), available upon request.
9. Third-Party Integrations
The Service integrates with third-party calendar providers through OAuth. By connecting a Provider, you:
- Authorize AuthBlock to access, retrieve, and process your calendar data from that Provider solely to provide the Service
- Represent that you have the necessary rights and permissions to grant such access
- Acknowledge that your use of the Provider remains subject to that Provider's terms of service and privacy policy
AuthBlock is not responsible for: (a) any changes, disruptions, or discontinuation of third-party Provider APIs; (b) any actions taken by Providers regarding your account or data; or (c) the availability, accuracy, or security of Provider services.
10. Acceptable Use Policy
You agree not to, and will not permit any third party to:
- Abuse or overload: Use the Service in a manner that exceeds reasonable request volumes, circumvents rate limits, or degrades performance for other users
- Unauthorized access: Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or connected systems
- Reverse engineering: Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble proprietary components of the Service (Open Source Components are governed by their respective licenses)
- Competitive use: Access the Service to build a competing product or service, or copy any features, functions, or graphics of the Service
- Resale: Resell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the Service or API without prior written consent
- Scraping: Use automated means to scrape, crawl, or extract data from the Service beyond authorized API use
- Harmful activities: Use the Service to transmit malware, spam, or unlawful, harmful, or objectionable content

- Illegal scheduling: Use the Service to facilitate scheduling of illegal activities or to harass, stalk, or harm individuals through calendar manipulation
- Prompt injection: Attempt to manipulate, override, or inject instructions into AI components of the Service to bypass safety controls or perform unauthorized actions
AuthBlock reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action against violations of this policy, including suspending or terminating access, removing content, and reporting to law enforcement authorities.
11. AI Agent Provisions
User responsibility for AI agent actions. You acknowledge and agree that AI agents (including those connected via the MCP server or other integrations) act on your behalf and at your direction. You are solely responsible for:
- Authorizing which AI agents may access the Service using your credentials
- Configuring appropriate permissions and safety guardrails for AI agents
- Reviewing and approving actions taken by AI agents, including scheduling, booking, and calendar modifications
- Any consequences arising from actions taken by AI agents using your account
No guarantee of AI agent behavior. AuthBlock does not control the behavior of third-party AI agents that connect to the Service. AuthBlock is not responsible for decisions made by AI agents, including but not limited to scheduling conflicts, unintended bookings, unauthorized calendar access, or communications sent on your behalf.
Probabilistic output disclaimer. The Service uses artificial intelligence and computational methods to process temporal data, resolve natural language datetime expressions, and generate scheduling suggestions. While our deterministic computation layer (Truth Engine) provides mathematically correct results, AI-generated interpretations of natural language may contain errors. You should independently verify AI-generated outputs before relying on them.
Human oversight recommended. AuthBlock strongly recommends implementing human oversight for all booking and scheduling actions taken by AI agents that create commitments on your behalf or on behalf of third parties. Our platform provides configurable safety guardrails, but these do not eliminate the need for human review.
Content safety limitations. While AuthBlock implements content safety measures (including prompt injection detection and content sanitization), no safety system is perfect. AuthBlock does not warrant that its safety measures will prevent all harmful, inappropriate, or unauthorized outputs or actions.
12. Intellectual Property
AuthBlock IP. AuthBlock and its licensors exclusively own all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, the Platform, the Portal, the API, and all related technology, documentation, trademarks, and intellectual property rights (collectively, "AuthBlock IP"). Except for the limited license granted in Section 6, these Terms do not grant you any rights to AuthBlock IP.
Customer content. You retain all right, title, and interest in and to your Customer Data. AuthBlock does not claim ownership of Customer Data.
Feedback. If you provide AuthBlock with any feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Service ("Feedback"), you hereby grant AuthBlock a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, and otherwise exploit such Feedback for any purpose without attribution or compensation.
Trademarks. "Temporal Cortex," "AuthBlock," and associated logos are trademarks of AuthBlock, Inc. You may not use these trademarks without prior written consent, except as necessary to refer to the Service in a factual, non-misleading manner.
13. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to hold the other party's Confidential Information in strict confidence and not to disclose it to any third party except as permitted by these Terms. "Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by one party to the other that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure.
Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was rightfully known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party's Confidential Information; or (d) is rightfully obtained from a third party without restriction.
14. Service Availability and Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. AUTHBLOCK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
AUTHBLOCK DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS, INCLUDING GOOGLE AND MICROSOFT, AND MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, TRUTHFULNESS, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY OF ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT OR SERVICES ACCESSED THROUGH THE SERVICE.
Enterprise customers may negotiate separate Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with guaranteed uptime commitments and service credits. Such SLAs, if agreed upon, supersede this section.
AuthBlock reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days' advance notice of material changes or discontinuation.
15. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL AUTHBLOCK, INC., ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, USE, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT AUTHBLOCK HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
AUTHBLOCK'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO AUTHBLOCK DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
The foregoing limitations do not apply to: (a) either party's gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) AuthBlock's indemnification obligations under Section 16 for intellectual property infringement; or (c) your obligation to pay fees owed under your Subscription Plan.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, the limitations in this section apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
16. Indemnification
AuthBlock indemnification (IP infringement). AuthBlock will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless you from and against any third-party claim alleging that the Service (excluding Open Source Components and Customer Data) infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret of such third party, and will pay any damages finally awarded or settlement amounts approved in writing by AuthBlock.
AuthBlock's obligations under this section do not apply to the extent a claim arises from: (a) your use of the Service in combination with products or technology not provided by AuthBlock; (b) your modification of the Service; (c) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; or (d) Open Source Components, which are governed by their respective licenses.

Procedures. The indemnified party must: (a) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing; (b) grant the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement; and (c) provide reasonable cooperation at the indemnifying party's expense. The indemnifying party may not settle any claim that admits liability on behalf of the indemnified party without written consent.
17. Termination
Termination by you. You may terminate your account at any time through the Portal or by contacting us. Termination of a paid subscription will take effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds will be issued for the remaining portion of a billing period, except where required by applicable law.
Termination by AuthBlock. AuthBlock may suspend or terminate your account immediately upon written notice if: (a) you breach these Terms and fail to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days of notice; (b) you fail to pay any amounts due; (c) AuthBlock reasonably believes your use poses a security risk or may subject AuthBlock to liability; (d) your Starter account has been inactive for twelve (12) consecutive months; or (e) AuthBlock decides to discontinue the Service (with at least sixty (60) days' notice).
Effect of termination. Upon termination: (a) your right to access and use the Service immediately ceases; (b) all outstanding fees become immediately due and payable; and (c) the provisions of these Terms relating to intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnification, confidentiality, dispute resolution, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive will survive termination.
Data export. Following termination, you will have thirty (30) days to export your Customer Data through the Portal or API. After the 30-day export window, AuthBlock may delete all Customer Data in accordance with our data retention policy.
Credential revocation. Upon termination, AuthBlock will revoke all OAuth tokens associated with your account and cease accessing third-party calendar services on your behalf within twenty-four (24) hours.

18. API-Specific Terms
API key security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your API keys. You must not share API keys with unauthorized parties, embed API keys in client-side code, or use API keys from multiple accounts to circumvent rate limits. AuthBlock may revoke API keys at any time if misuse is detected.
Rate limits. The Service enforces rate limits based on your Subscription Plan. If you exceed rate limits, the API will return a 429 (Too Many Requests) response. Repeated or intentional rate limit violations may result in temporary or permanent suspension of access.
Fair use. Even if your plan provides for a specific API quota, usage must be reasonable and consistent with the intended purpose of the Service. Excessive usage patterns (such as continuous high-frequency polling, bulk data extraction, or automated stress testing) are prohibited.
API versioning and deprecation. AuthBlock may release new versions of the API and deprecate older versions. AuthBlock will provide at least ninety (90) days' notice before discontinuing support for a major API version. You are responsible for migrating to supported API versions.
MCP server. Use of the Temporal Cortex MCP server is subject to these Terms. You are responsible for all actions taken through the MCP server using your credentials, regardless of whether such actions are initiated by you directly or by an AI agent.
Output accuracy. AuthBlock does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any output generated by the Service, including datetime resolution, availability calculations, or scheduling suggestions. While our deterministic computation layer provides mathematically correct results for well-defined inputs, you are responsible for verifying outputs before relying on them.
19. Dispute Resolution
Informal resolution. Before initiating any formal dispute resolution, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. Either party may initiate the informal resolution process by sending written notice describing the nature of the dispute. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of such notice.
Binding arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute through informal resolution, either party may initiate binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator with experience in technology and SaaS agreements. The arbitration will take place in the State of Delaware, or at another mutually agreed location.
YOU AND AUTHBLOCK AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. UNLESS BOTH PARTIES AGREE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS.
Opt-out right. You may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions by sending written notice to AuthBlock at [email protected] within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms.
Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information.
20. General Provisions
Governing law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable order forms, DPA, or SLA, constitute the entire agreement between you and AuthBlock regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without AuthBlock's prior written consent. AuthBlock may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
Force majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, acts of government, third-party service outages, internet disruptions, or power failures.
Notices. Notices to AuthBlock must be sent to [email protected]. Notices to you will be sent to the email address associated with your account.
Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
Export compliance. You agree to comply with all applicable export and import control laws and regulations. You may not access or use the Service if you are located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or are on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Modifications. We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will notify you via email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
