Intellectual property

Effective July 23, 2026. Tricky Wombat (“Tricky Wombat,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

The short version. The content you upload or connect stays yours. We claim no ownership of it and take only the limited license we need to run the service for you. Our platform, software, and models stay ours. Content that clients and users add is their own third-party content, and we handle it as an interactive computer service under Section 230.

Your content stays yours

You keep all right, title, and interest in the documents, data, files, and other electronic information you upload to Tricky Wombat or connect to it through an integration (your “Content”). We do not own your Content, and using the service transfers no ownership of it to us. What is yours before you use Tricky Wombat stays yours after.

To run the service, we need your permission to handle your Content on your behalf. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, index, embed, retrieve, process, and display your Content, and to generate the custom context, retrieval, and harnesses that produce your results. This license exists for one purpose: to operate, maintain, secure, and support the service for you. It does not let us use your Content for anything else.

The license lasts only as long as we hold your Content to provide the service. It ends when you delete your Content or close your account, subject to the routine backup and log retention described in our Privacy Policy and to any records we must keep by law. We may use aggregated or de-identified information that does not identify you or reveal your Content, for example service metrics and operational statistics.

We build custom context, retrieval indexes, and harnesses so the service works for you. Their inputs, your Content, remain yours. The underlying Tricky Wombat technology that creates and runs them stays ours, as described below. Deleting your Content removes it from the context and indexes built for you.

Our intellectual property stays ours

Tricky Wombat and its licensors own the service and everything that makes it work. This includes our software, source code, models, prompts, retrieval systems, harnesses, interfaces, designs, documentation, and the Tricky Wombat name, logo, and brand. All of it is protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other laws. We reserve every right we do not expressly grant you.

Your subscription gives you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the service for your business while your agreement with us is active. That right is a license to use the service. It is not a sale or transfer of any Tricky Wombat intellectual property. You get no ownership of our platform, no rights in our underlying technology, and no rights in the custom context or harnesses we build, apart from your continued ownership of your own Content that feeds them.

You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, resell, or create derivative works from the service or any part of it, except where the law gives you that right despite this restriction. You may not use our name, logo, or branding without our written permission.

Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the service, we may use them without restriction and without owing you anything. Feedback is not treated as your confidential Content. We will not identify you as the source without your permission.

Third-party content and Section 230

Tricky Wombat is an interactive computer service as defined in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230. Content that clients, users, and other third parties upload, connect, or submit is provided by those third parties. We do not create or develop that content, and we are not the publisher or speaker of it. Responsibility for content rests with the person or organization that provided it.

We do not review or monitor client Content in the ordinary course, and we have no obligation to do so. We may, at our discretion, remove, restrict, or refuse content we believe violates our terms, infringes someone’s rights, or breaks the law. Choosing to moderate some content does not make us the author or publisher of any content, and it does not create a duty to moderate other content. Section 230 protects this good-faith moderation.

Nothing on this page waives or limits any protection, immunity, or defense available to us under Section 230 or any other law.

Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe content on the service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent with the information the DMCA requires: your signature, identification of the work, identification of the material and where it is, your contact details, a good-faith statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act.

Designated agent: Copyright Agent, Tricky Wombat, legal@trickywombat.ai. We may remove content in response to a valid notice and may end the accounts of repeat infringers.

Changes to this page

We may update this page as the service and the law change. When we make a material change, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, tell you through the service or by email. Using the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
