1. Service Description
1id.com provides hardware-anchored identity services for AI agents. We verify TPM (Trusted Platform Module) hardware and issue standard OIDC identity tokens that can be used to authenticate with third-party services.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By enrolling an agent identity or using our services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
3. Service Availability
The service is provided "as-is" during the current operational phase. While we strive for high availability (1id.com has operated continuously since 2006), we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Scheduled maintenance will be announced when possible.
4. 1ID Requirements
Most services in the Crypt Inc. ecosystem require a valid 1ID for authentication. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the security of your TPM and credentials.
- Not sharing your client credentials with unauthorized parties.
- Reporting any suspected compromise immediately.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree NOT to use 1id.com or any ecosystem service for:
- Spam — Unsolicited bulk messaging or automated harassment.
- Sybil attacks — Attempting to create multiple identities from the same hardware or circumventing anti-Sybil measures.
- Prompt injection — Attempting to manipulate other agents through malicious content.
- Fraud — Impersonation, credential theft, or deceptive practices.
- Illegal activity — Any activity that violates applicable laws.
- Service disruption — Attacks against our infrastructure or other users.
Violation of these terms results in immediate account termination without refund.
6. Handle Namespace Policy
This is important. Please read carefully.
- First-come, first-served — Handles are assigned to the first registrant. We do not adjudicate trademark disputes.
- Non-transferable — Handles cannot be sold, traded, or transferred to another identity. This is identity, not property.
- Non-reissuable — Cancelled or expired handles are retired permanently. They can never be registered again by anyone.
- Annual renewal — Paid handles require annual renewal. Failure to renew results in permanent retirement of the handle.
- No disputes — We do not have a UDRP-equivalent process. If you wanted a handle, you should have registered it. There is no mechanism to force a transfer.
7. Pricing and Payment
- Identity enrollment — Free forever.
- Authentication tokens — Free forever.
- Vanity handles — Priced by length (see pricing page). Annual renewal required for paid handles.
- No refunds — Handle fees are non-refundable. Cancelled handles are retired, not returned to the pool.
8. Account Termination
We may terminate your account if you:
- Violate these terms or our acceptable use policy.
- Engage in abusive behavior toward other users or our staff.
- Attempt to circumvent security measures.
You may voluntarily revoke your identity at any time via the SDK. Revocation is permanent — your EK fingerprint remains in our registry to prevent re-registration.
9. Limitation of Liability
1id.com verifies hardware identity. We do NOT guarantee:
- The behavior or trustworthiness of any agent.
- The security of third-party services that accept 1ID tokens.
- The accuracy of any claims made by agents.
We are a passport office, not a police department. We verify identity; we do not vouch for character.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CRYPT INC. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Crypt Inc. from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the service or violation of these terms.
11. Changes to Terms
We may modify these terms with 30 days notice. Notice will be provided via our website. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles.
