1. Overview

AgenticRail is a deterministic execution control system that validates, sequences, and either allows or halts actions submitted by clients.

Use of the System constitutes acceptance of these Terms.

2. Definitions

TermDefinition
SystemAgenticRail (wrapper + gate + core + sequence enforcement)
ClientAny user, service, or application sending requests to the System
SequenceAn ordered set of steps enforced by the System
ActionA proposed operation submitted for validation
ALLOWThe System permits the Action to proceed
DENYThe System blocks the Action due to a policy or sequence constraint; the Sequence may continue from a valid state
HALTThe System stops execution due to a sequence violation, invalid state, or terminal error; the Sequence cannot proceed
PolicyThe rule set used to validate Actions (e.g., MSMD® policy maps)

3. Nature of the System

AgenticRail is:

AgenticRail is not:

4. No Guarantee of Outcomes

AgenticRail does not guarantee correctness, safety or suitability of any Action, or completion of any Sequence.

An Action being ALLOWED does not mean it is correct, safe, or appropriate. It only means the Action passed the current Policy constraints.

5. Client Responsibility

The Client is solely responsible for:

The Client must validate outputs independently, ensure compliance with applicable laws (including the EU AI Act), and ensure safe execution in their own environment.

6. Deterministic Enforcement

AgenticRail enforces:

If any rule is violated, the System will HALT or DENY the Action. No override is available.

7. Sequence Rules

Violations will result in error codes such as: SEQUENCE_VIOLATION, REPLAY_NONCE, SEALED_SEQUENCE, ACTION_NOT_ALLOWED, STALE_TIMESTAMP.

8. Action Validation

All Actions must include a valid function, match the current step, use an allowed action_type, and conform to the active Policy.

Invalid Actions will be rejected. The System may return an error without detailed explanation.

9. Denial Behaviour — Fail Closed

AgenticRail may deny requests, halt Sequences, return errors, or stop execution without recovery. Denial may occur due to invalid structure, policy mismatch, sequence violation, replay detection, or system constraints.

The System is designed to fail closed, not fail open.

A DENY or HALT decision means the request did not pass the current policy constraints as configured. It is not a representation that the underlying action was incorrect or invalid. The Client is responsible for ensuring their configuration — including step order, function names, and action types — is correct. Unexpected DENY decisions resulting from misconfiguration are not a defect in the System.

10. Logging and Records

AgenticRail is designed to minimise collection of personal data.

The System primarily logs metadata required for operation, including Sequence IDs, timestamps, action types, and outcomes (ALLOW / HALT / DENY). AgenticRail does not rely on logging user content for normal operation.

Clients must not rely on the System as a secure or confidential storage mechanism. Clients should avoid submitting sensitive personal, financial, or regulated data unless appropriate safeguards are in place.

Receipt retention periods per plan tier:

Clients may request deletion of their account data by contacting hello@agenticrail.nz. Enforcement receipts are retained for the duration of the plan's retention period to enable compliance reporting and chain verification.

A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) incorporating Standard Contractual Clauses is available at agenticrail.nz/dpa. The DPA takes effect automatically upon your first paid API call — no separate signature required.

11. Misuse and Adversarial Testing

The Client must not intentionally bypass sequence rules, attempt to exploit policy gaps, flood or degrade the System, or submit malformed or malicious payloads. Adversarial testing is only permitted if explicitly authorised in writing and conducted within defined boundaries.

12. Availability

AgenticRail may change without notice, may be unavailable at any time, and may evolve policy definitions. No uptime guarantees are provided. AgenticRail uses reasonable efforts to maintain availability but does not commit to any specific uptime target or response time.

13. Pricing and Fees

Pricing for the System is published on the AgenticRail website (agenticrail.nz) and notified to Clients before any charges apply. The website is the authoritative source for current pricing, plans, and tiers.

AgenticRail may change pricing at any time. Material changes will be notified at least 30 days in advance.

All fees are exclusive of GST or other taxes. Clients are responsible for any applicable taxes.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, AgenticRail's total liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the System is limited to the greater of:

AgenticRail is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or business interruption.

AgenticRail is not liable for any claims arising from use of the System in high-risk contexts without adequate safeguards.

15. No Warranties

The System is provided "as is" and "as available." AgenticRail makes no warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, reliability or availability, or accuracy of outcomes. Use of the System is at the Client's own risk.

16. High-Risk Use & EU AI Act

The Client is the deployer of any AI system using AgenticRail.

The Client is solely responsible for determining whether their use constitutes a high-risk AI system under applicable laws (including the EU AI Act).

The Client must implement appropriate human oversight, risk management, and compliance controls.

AgenticRail is a general-purpose enforcement tool and does not provide legal or compliance advice.

AgenticRail must not be used as the sole control mechanism in any system where failure could result in harm to individuals, financial loss, or legal or regulatory impact.

By using the System, the Client accepts full responsibility for compliance.

17. Indemnification

The Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AgenticRail and its directors, employees, and agents from any claim arising out of breach of these Terms, violation of any law or regulation, use of the System in high-risk contexts without safeguards, or infringement of third-party rights.

18. Intellectual Property — No Training

The Client retains ownership of their inputs and data.

AgenticRail retains all rights to the System, source code, algorithms, and documentation.

The Client may not reverse engineer or decompile the System, extract source code, or use the System to build or train competing products.

19. Suspension and Termination

AgenticRail may suspend or terminate access to the System at any time for misuse, for breach of these Terms, or to protect system integrity. Termination may occur without prior notice where necessary.

20. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of New Zealand. For Clients in the European Union, mandatory consumer protections still apply.

21. Modifications

These Terms may be updated at any time. Material changes will be notified at least 30 days in advance. Continued use of the System constitutes acceptance of updated Terms.

22. Governing Principle

AgenticRail enforces structure, not truth.
The System controls whether an Action is allowed.
The Client remains responsible for what happens next.
