Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using CloudPruneAI ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all users of the platform, including individual users and users operating as part of a Partner organization (consultancy, MSP, or similar).

2. Description of Service

CloudPruneAI is an AWS cost optimization platform that analyzes AWS infrastructure in read-only mode, identifies cost-saving opportunities, and generates CDK (Cloud Development Kit) code to implement optimizations. The platform operates under a Partner model: consultancies, MSPs, and independent practitioners ("Partners") use CloudPruneAI to scan their clients' AWS accounts, generate reports, and deliver optimization recommendations. The Service requires read-only access to AWS accounts through an IAM role.

3. Account Registration and Access

To use the Service, you must:

• Create an account with accurate information
• Be at least 18 years old
• Have authority to connect the AWS account(s) you register
• Keep your account credentials secure
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access

Access to the platform is by invitation and subject to approval by CloudPruneAI. We reserve the right to approve, suspend, or revoke access at our discretion.

If you are part of a Partner organization, your account will be associated with that Partner. Your Partner administrator may manage your access level and permissions within the platform.

4. AWS Account Access

4.1 IAM Role Requirements

You authorize CloudPruneAI to access AWS accounts through a read-only IAM role with an External ID unique to your organization. This role must include the ReadOnlyAccess managed policy and Cost Explorer permissions as specified in our documentation.

4.2 Authorization for Partner Users

If you are a Partner connecting a client's AWS account, you represent and warrant that you have obtained proper authorization from the AWS account holder to grant CloudPruneAI read-only access. You are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining this authorization.

4.3 Our Commitment

• We will only use read-only access; we will never modify your resources
• We will only access data necessary for cost analysis
• We will not access the content of your data (e.g., S3 objects, database records, secret values)
• The AWS account holder can revoke access at any time by deleting the IAM role

5. Pricing and Payment

5.1 Scan and Executive Summary (Free)

Scanning AWS accounts and viewing the Executive Summary (which includes total savings by category without specific resource identifiers) is free and unlimited. No payment is required to scan or view summary results.

5.2 Report Unlock (Gainshare Pricing)

To unlock the full report with detailed recommendations, resource identifiers, and CDK code, a one-time payment is required based on the annual savings identified:

• Annual savings up to $500,000: 10% of the annual savings identified
• Annual savings over $500,000: 7.5% of the annual savings identified

The fee is calculated based on the estimated annual savings at the time of unlock, as determined by CloudPruneAI's analysis. Savings estimates are based on the previous 14 days of metrics and do not constitute a guarantee of actual savings.

5.3 Payment Methods

• Immediate Payment: Credit card via Stripe at the time of unlock.
• Net 30 Invoicing: Available for approved Partners. The report is unlocked immediately, and payment is due within 30 calendar days. Late payments are subject to a 1.5% monthly interest charge. CloudPruneAI may suspend access to new unlocks if two or more invoices are overdue.

5.4 Price Changes

CloudPruneAI reserves the right to modify pricing with 30 days' prior notice. Changes do not apply retroactively to unlocks already completed.

5.5 Refund Policy

Payments to unlock scan reports are non-refundable once the report has been delivered, as the value (detailed recommendations, resource identifiers, and CDK code) is immediately accessible upon unlock.

5.6 Billing Portal

You can view invoices, update your payment method, and manage billing through the Stripe Customer Portal, accessible from the Billing section of your dashboard.

6. Generated Code and Reports
