Master Service Agreement

Ernst Wisner, Sole Proprietor · Ghost Architect™ · Last updated: April 2, 2026

This Master Service Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Ernst Wisner, doing business as Ghost Architect™ ("Provider") and the entity or individual agreeing to these terms ("Client"). By accessing or using Ghost Architect™, Client agrees to be bound by this Agreement.

// 1. services

Provider grants Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use Ghost Architect™ ("the Software") in accordance with the plan selected by Client and the terms of this Agreement.

Ghost Architect™ is a CLI-based codebase triage and intelligence tool. It scans codebases, categorizes findings by risk, prioritizes results, and generates structured reports. Findings generated by Ghost Architect™ are pattern-based starting points for further investigation. They are not proven exploits, security certifications, or guarantees of any kind. Client is solely responsible for evaluating, acting on, or disregarding any findings produced by the Software.

// 2. subscription plans and fees

2.1 Subscription

Ghost Architect™ is offered on a monthly subscription basis. Client's selected plan and associated fees are as specified at the time of purchase on ghostarchitect.dev or in a separate order form.

2.2 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless Client cancels at least 7 days prior to the renewal date. By subscribing, Client authorizes Provider to charge the applicable subscription fee to Client's payment method on each renewal date.

2.3 Price Changes

Provider may change subscription fees upon 30 days written notice to Client. Continued use of the Software after the price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new fees.

2.4 No Refunds

All fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated in writing by Provider.

2.5 Early Adopter Program

Participants accepted into the Ghost Architect™ Early Adopter program access the Software under separate terms communicated at the time of acceptance. Early Adopter access is not subject to the subscription fee structure in this section while the program is active.

// 3. client responsibilities

// 4. data and privacy

4.1 Client Code

Ghost Architect™ operates on a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model. Client's source code is transmitted directly from Client's local machine to Anthropic's API using Client's own API key. Provider does not receive, store, or have access to Client's source code at any time.

4.2 Personal Data

Provider collects only the minimum personal data necessary to manage the Client relationship, as described in the Ghost Architect™ Privacy Policy.

4.3 Anthropic API

Client acknowledges that use of Ghost Architect™ involves transmission of data to Anthropic's API, which is governed by Anthropic's own terms of service and privacy policy. Client is responsible for reviewing and accepting Anthropic's terms.

// 5. intellectual property

Ghost Architect™, including all software, documentation, reports, algorithms, and associated materials, is and remains the exclusive property of Ernst Wisner. This Agreement grants Client a limited license to use the Software and does not transfer any ownership or intellectual property rights to Client.

Report output generated by Ghost Architect™ for Client's own internal use is licensed to Client for that purpose. Client may not commercialize, redistribute, or represent Ghost Architect™ output as their own proprietary methodology without written permission from Provider.

6.3 Exclusion of Damages

IN NO EVENT SHALL PROVIDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, EVEN IF PROVIDER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

// 7. confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other party that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential.
