Terms of use

These terms cover pipkin.io, the Pipkin CLI and the Pipkin firmware. Pipkin is run by Damian Worsdell, a sole trader in Western Australia, Australia (“we” and “us”). By using the website or the software, you agree to these terms. Buying a kit is covered by the terms of sale, and how we handle information by the privacy policy.

The website

We work to keep the information on pipkin.io accurate, but it may change without notice, and product details may change before kits go on sale. Please don’t interfere with the site, try to break its security, or overload it.

The software

The Pipkin firmware and CLI are source-available under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0. You can read, build, modify and share them for any noncommercial purpose, as that licence sets out. Their source is on GitHub: the firmware and the CLI.

If you own a Pipkin, whether it’s a kit from us or one you’ve built yourself, you may also run the firmware on it, and use the CLI with it, for any purpose, including your paid work. This covers your own changes to the firmware and CLI when you use them with your Pipkin. Later changes to these terms won’t take this permission away from a Pipkin you already own.

Everything else stays under the licence above: you can still share and modify the software for noncommercial purposes, but selling it, or using it in a commercial product or service, needs our written permission.

The CLI reads usage from your own Codex and Claude accounts, using the sign-ins already on your computer. It only reads usage: it doesn’t send requests to the models, redeem resets, buy credits or change your subscriptions. Your use of those accounts remains subject to OpenAI’s and Anthropic’s terms. Figures come from the providers and can be delayed or unavailable, and daily spend is a local estimate, not a bill. Please don’t rely on Pipkin for billing or anything critical.

Names and marks

Codex is a trademark of OpenAI. Claude and Claude Code are trademarks of Anthropic. Pipkin is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by either company. The Pipkin name, Pip and the Pipkin logo are ours; please don’t use them in a way that suggests we made or endorse something we didn’t.

Our responsibility

Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, or other consumer laws that apply to you and can’t be excluded. Apart from those rights, the website and software are provided as they are, as the software’s licence also says, and to the extent the law allows we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from using them.

Changes and law

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows when they last changed. These terms are governed by the law of Western Australia, and disputes go to its courts, except where your local consumer law gives you the right to bring them elsewhere.
