AI Magic, LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”) Effective date: July 16, 2026
These terms are a legal agreement between you and AI Magic, LLC. By creating an account or using Workbench (workbench.md), you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
We wrote these in plain language so you can actually read them. Each section starts with a short summary in italics. The summaries are for convenience only; the full text controls.
In short: Workbench is a live collaborative Markdown workspace where people and automated assistants work on documents together. It is under active development and things can change or break.
Workbench is a collaborative Markdown platform. You can create and edit documents in real time, converse inside documents through chat fences, register assistants in the agent registry, issue API tokens, use the agent-facing API, install skills from the skill directory, and delegate work through the chief-of-staff surface.
Parts of the service are generated or operated by automated systems. Content, suggestions, edits, and actions within the service may be produced or performed by automated systems rather than by a human, whether those systems are connected by you or operated as part of the service itself. Automated output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate. You are responsible for reviewing output and actions that matter to you before relying on them.
Workbench is an evolving product. Features may change, break, or be removed without notice. You accept these risks by using the service.
In short: you must be 18 or older.
You must be at least 18 years old to use Workbench. By using the service, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. If you use the service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.
In short: keep your credentials safe and tell us if something looks wrong.
You are responsible for your account and everything that happens through it, including activity by agents and integrations you authorize.
If you suspect unauthorized access, notify us immediately at legal@workbench.md.
In short: if a feature costs money, we will tell you before you pay.
Some features of the service may require payment. Pricing and billing terms for paid features are presented at the time of purchase and form part of this agreement. We may change pricing prospectively; changes will not affect amounts you have already paid.
In short: when you share a document, the people and agents you share it with can see and change it.
Workbench is collaborative. When you share a document or workspace, the collaborators you invite, including registered agents, can view, edit, copy, and act on its contents according to the permissions you grant. You are responsible for deciding what to share and with whom. We are not responsible for what your collaborators do with content you choose to share with them.
If you, or an agent acting within permissions you granted, makes a document or file public, anyone can view it. Grant publishing and upload permissions carefully, and review what your agents make public.
In short: agents and automated features can read, write, and act within the permissions granted to them. Grant permissions carefully and review important actions.
The agent registry lets you connect assistants to your documents and workspaces, and the service itself includes automated features that act on your content. Important things to understand:
In short: your tokens are your responsibility.
API tokens authenticate access to your account and its data. Anyone or anything holding a token you issue can act with that token’s permissions.
In short: skills may come from third parties and can execute actions. You install and run them at your own risk.
The skill directory lets you discover and install skills, which may include instructions, code, or configurations created by third parties. Skills may execute actions in your workspace, on systems you connect, or on your own machines.
In short: your documents are yours. We need a limited license to run the service. Keep your own backups.
Ownership: You own the content you create and upload. We do not claim ownership of your content.
License to us: You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and create transient copies of your content solely as necessary to operate, provide, secure, and improve the service for you and the collaborators you authorize. This license ends when you delete the content or close your account, subject to the retention practices in our Privacy Policy.
Your responsibility: You represent that you have the rights needed to upload your content and to instruct agents to act on it, and that your content does not infringe any third party’s rights. If your content includes personal data about other people, you are responsible for having a lawful basis to process it and for honoring those people’s rights.
No backup guarantee: We do not guarantee your content will be preserved. Content can be lost through outages, bugs, automated actions, or account termination. Maintain your own backups of anything important.
In short: use Workbench lawfully and do not attack it or other users.
You may use Workbench for any lawful purpose. You agree not to:
In short: we rely on outside providers to run the service.
The service depends on third-party providers, including hosting infrastructure, model providers, and other subprocessors, which may process your data as needed to deliver the service. Our Privacy Policy describes the categories of providers involved. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for outages, errors, or changes caused by third-party providers, though nothing in this section limits our own obligations under these terms or applicable law.
In short: the service belongs to us; your content belongs to you.
The service, including its software, design, documentation, and branding, is owned by AI Magic, LLC and protected by intellectual property laws. These terms grant you only a limited right to use the service.
In short: we respond to valid copyright complaints.
If you believe content on the service infringes your copyright, submit a takedown notice to:
AI Magic, LLC, Attn: DMCA Agent, Email: legal@workbench.md
Your notice must include: (1) identification of the copyrighted work, (2) identification and location of the infringing material, (3) your contact information, (4) a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized, (5) a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act, and (6) your physical or electronic signature. We may remove content and, in appropriate circumstances, terminate accounts of repeat infringers.
In short: we can suspend accounts that break the rules; you can leave any time and export your documents.
By us: We may limit, suspend, or terminate your access if you violate these terms, your account appears compromised, the service is at risk, we need to protect others, or the law requires it. We may provide notice before acting but are not obligated to.
By you: You can stop using the service at any time. To close your account, contact us at legal@workbench.md.
Data export: Unless your account was terminated for serious abuse or we are legally prevented from doing so, we will make reasonable efforts to give you a window of at least 30 days after termination to export your documents.
Effect: Upon termination, your right to use the service ends and we will handle your data per our Privacy Policy. Sections 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 21 survive termination, along with any other provisions that by their nature should survive.
In short: the service is provided as-is.
The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Without limiting the above, we do not warrant that:
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
In short: our liability is capped, except where the law does not allow a cap.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AI Magic is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, data corruption, loss of documents, business interruption, or cost of substitute services, regardless of legal theory, even if advised of the possibility.
If we are found liable, our total aggregate liability is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) $100 USD. This applies to all claims in the aggregate, not per incident.
What this section does not do: Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including, where applicable, liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. In jurisdictions that do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.
In short: if your use of the service causes a legal problem for us, you cover it, unless the problem was our own misconduct.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AI Magic, its officers, employees, and agents from third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from:
This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or material breach of these terms. We will give you prompt notice of any claim subject to indemnification and reasonable cooperation, at your expense. You may control the defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to us, but you may not settle any claim that imposes obligations on us without our consent.
In short: disputes go to individual arbitration under New York law. You can use small claims court, and you can opt out of arbitration within 30 days.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Informal resolution first: Before filing an arbitration claim, contact us at legal@workbench.md with a description of the dispute and attempt to resolve it informally for at least 30 days.
Arbitration: Any dispute arising from these terms or the service that is not resolved informally will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, conducted in English. Arbitration fees are allocated as provided in those rules; if the rules require us to pay filing, administration, or arbitrator fees beyond what you would pay in court, we will pay them. Arbitration will take place remotely by videoconference, or, if an in-person hearing is required, in the county where you live or another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator’s decision is final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Small claims exception: Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration if the claim qualifies.
Injunctive relief exception: Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or prevent irreparable harm.
Opt-out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@workbench.md within 30 days of first accepting these terms, stating your account email and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these terms.
Class action waiver: You and we agree to resolve disputes on an individual basis. Neither party may participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court rather than arbitration.
Coordinated filings: If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against us by the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree that the demands will be resolved in staged batches under the AAA’s applicable procedures for multiple case filings, to keep the process fair and efficient for everyone.
In short: standard US export rules apply.
The service is operated from the United States. You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or a resident of any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list. You agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws.
In short: we will give you notice of material changes before they take effect.
We may update these terms as the service evolves. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days’ notice before the changes take effect, by updating the effective date and notifying you through the product or by email. Changes apply prospectively only and do not affect disputes arising before the change took effect. If you do not agree to the changes, stop using the service and close your account before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
