These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between Nyxone OÜ, Estonian registry code 16172329 (“Timeline”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), and the person or organization using The Timeline at https://thetimeline.cc and related services (the “Service”). Our Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed, and our Trust page summarizes our security and data practices.
1. Acceptance and authority
You must accept the current Terms and acknowledge the current Privacy Policy before using protected parts of the Service. These Terms bind you personally. If you expressly accept them on behalf of an employer or other organization—or create, purchase, or administer its team—you also represent that you have authority to bind that organization; “you” then means both you and the organization. If you lack that authority, do not accept on its behalf or create, purchase, or administer its team, but you may use a workspace you are personally authorized to join.
Each user accepts individually. An owner or administrator who creates a team, connects a shared source, invites members, or makes organization-level choices represents that the organization has authorized those actions. An enterprise order form, data-processing agreement, or other written agreement may add customer-specific terms; if it conflicts with these Terms, that signed agreement controls for the conflict.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old and legally capable of entering this agreement. The Service is intended for professional and organizational use. You may not use the Service if applicable law prohibits us from providing it to you.
3. The Service
Timeline is an evidence-backed team memory product. It can capture, import, store, organize, search, transcribe, summarize, and cite information from web entry, Telegram, Slack, email, documents, meetings, calendars, selected third-party integrations, webhooks, and connected MCP servers. Features and supported providers may change over time.
4. Accounts and credentials
You must provide accurate account information, keep credentials and recovery methods secure, and promptly tell us about suspected unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless caused by our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable security. Accounts are personal and may not be shared. We may require email verification, multi-step authentication, or other security checks.
5. Teams, roles, and permissions
A team is a shared workspace. Owners and administrators are responsible for inviting the right people, assigning appropriate roles, reviewing connected sources, and removing access when it is no longer needed. Product roles control administrative actions but do not give an administrator a general right to read another member's private content. Items may be team-visible, private, or limited to named users; users must select appropriate visibility.
When a member leaves or is removed, some team-owned connections or shared capture settings may need to be reassigned so the team can continue operating. Private personal content must not be made team-visible merely because membership ends, except where the user deliberately shared it, the organization owns it under applicable policy, or law and a documented process permit the transition.
6. Customer Content and license to operate the Service
As between you and Timeline, you retain ownership of Customer Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited license to host, copy, transmit, format, index, create technical and requested product-derived versions of, and otherwise process Customer Content solely to provide, secure, support, and maintain the Service; follow your instructions; and comply with law. This license ends when the content is deleted from active systems, subject to backup or recovery copies where configured, legal retention, and content shared with others before deletion.
You represent that you and your organization have all rights, notices, permissions, and lawful bases needed for Customer Content and for our processing of it under these Terms. You remain responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of the content you submit and the instructions you give us.
7. Recording, transcription, and third-party content
You may use capture and transcription only when lawful. You are responsible for informing meeting participants, message participants, employees, contractors, customers, and other people and for obtaining any consent required by law, contract, workplace policy, or platform terms. A host-consent confirmation in the product is a safeguard, not a substitute for your legal obligations. Do not secretly record or import content you are not authorized to process.
8. AI features
The Service uses AI for transcription, extraction, embeddings, media text extraction, summarization, classification, suggestions, and agent answers. Hosted AI requests are routed under the privacy controls described in the Privacy Policy. Timeline does not use Customer Content to train or fine-tune any model. Creating embeddings for retrieval is processing for the Service, not model training.
generation, extraction, summarization, media text extraction, and embeddings require zero-data-retention processing and cannot downgrade to weaker retention during an outage. Non-meeting voice transcription currently uses openai/gpt-4o-transcribe as the retained, no-training quality exception described in the Privacy Policy. A ZDR replacement will be adopted only after it passes the documented broad-multilingual quality gate.
AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or based on incomplete evidence. Citations help you inspect source material but do not guarantee correctness. You must review output before relying on it, especially for decisions affecting legal rights, employment, safety, finance, health, or other consequential matters. Timeline is not a provider of legal, financial, medical, employment, or other professional advice.
9. Integrations, agents, and external actions
You may connect third-party accounts, shared sources, webhooks, and MCP servers. You direct us to exchange the data necessary to use them. Their services are governed by their own terms, availability, and privacy practices. You are responsible for permissions, resource selection, credentials, and charges on those services.
A member may authorize ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, or another MCP-compatible client to request data from one selected team. The default read scope follows that member's current membership and visibility. The optional agent:ask scope requires a current owner or admin, can create proposals for human review, and may use enabled team tools with external side effects. Revoking the app stops future Timeline requests; it does not delete copies the app already received under its own terms.
Tools made available to an agent may cause external side effects, including creating or changing records outside Timeline. Review scopes and approval settings before enabling a tool. Disconnecting a source does not automatically delete evidence already captured into Timeline. We are not responsible for third-party changes, outages, or data practices outside our reasonable control.
10. Acceptable use
You must not use or help others use the Service to:
- violate law, sanctions, export controls, court orders, or another person's rights;
- secretly monitor, record, profile, harass, discriminate against, or make unlawful consequential decisions about people;
- submit malware, destructive code, or content designed to manipulate an AI system;
- probe, scan, scrape, overload, reverse engineer, or bypass security, rate limits, visibility, approvals, authentication, or team isolation, except as law expressly permits;
- access another user's account or content without authorization;
- resell or provide the hosted Service to third parties without our written permission;
- misrepresent AI output as verified human work or remove source context deceptively; or
- use the Service to develop or train a competing general-purpose model without permission.
Report suspected vulnerabilities privately to [email protected]; do not put credentials, Customer Content, or undisclosed exploits in public issues. We may rate limit, investigate, or block activity reasonably believed to create risk.
11. Confidentiality and security responsibilities
We will use reasonable care to protect non-public Customer Content and will access it only as described in the Privacy Policy, your instructions, or law. You must use reasonable safeguards appropriate to your content: manage membership, use private visibility when needed, protect export links and API keys, review integration scopes, and avoid submitting data that the Service is not approved to handle.
If either party receives confidential information from the other, it may use that information only to perform this agreement and may disclose it only to personnel and providers with a need to know and confidentiality obligations, or when legally required. Information is not confidential if it is public without breach, independently developed, or rightfully received without restriction.
12. Privacy and data protection
Our Privacy Policy describes our controller activities. For Customer Content where we act as processor, the customer is responsible for its instructions and lawful basis. Customers needing a data-processing agreement or transfer terms should contact [email protected] before using the Service for data that depends on those terms.
Our Cookies and similar technologies notice lists current browser storage and the conditions for any optional public analytics. The notice provides information; accepting these Terms does not consent to optional browser analytics.
The hosted Service is not approved for special-category personal data, protected health information, government identifiers, financial account credentials, or other highly regulated data. You must not submit any such data unless Timeline has given express prior written approval for the specific data and use case. Our written approval is mandatory in every case, even if you have determined that you have a lawful basis and appropriate safeguards.
Supported complex documents may be processed in an ephemeral Daytona sandbox. Sandbox state is discarded when the sandbox stops, while Daytona documents three-day retention for its observability logs, traces, and metrics.
13. Our intellectual property
Except for Customer Content and third-party materials, Timeline and its software, designs, documentation, trademarks, and service content belong to us or our licensors. These Terms grant only the limited right to use the hosted Service while your account is authorized. Public availability of source code does not by itself grant permission to copy, modify, redistribute, or self-host it; those rights exist only under an applicable license. Third- party and open-source components remain governed by their own licenses.
14. Feedback and contributions
If you provide feedback, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use it without restriction or compensation, without identifying you publicly. Before contributing code or documentation, review the contribution terms and license in the relevant repository; if none is published, contact us before submitting the contribution.
15. Beta features and service changes
We may identify features as preview, experimental, beta, or evaluation features. They may be less reliable, change without notice, and be discontinued. We may improve, replace, add, or remove features and supported providers. We will provide reasonable notice when a material change substantially reduces core functionality, where practicable.
16. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access when you materially breach these Terms, fail to cure a remediable breach after notice, create an urgent security or legal risk, or when continued provision is unlawful. We may act without advance notice for urgent risk and will explain the reason when legally and practically permitted.
Before planned termination, use available export tools or contact us. After termination we may delete Customer Content from active systems after a reasonable retrieval period, unless a written agreement says otherwise or law requires retention. Sections that by nature should survive—including ownership, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, and dispute terms—remain effective.
17. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that AI output or captured source data is accurate, complete, or suitable for a particular decision. These disclaimers do not limit warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
18. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill, business opportunity, or data, even if advised that such loss was possible. Timeline's total liability arising from the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount paid by you for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or €100.
These limits do not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited, or to your payment obligations, infringement or misuse of our intellectual property, violation of acceptable use, or indemnity obligations. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
19. Indemnity
If you use the Service for an organization, that organization will defend and indemnify Timeline and its personnel against third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from Customer Content, unlawful capture or recording, connected services, or your material breach of these Terms, except to the extent caused by our breach, negligence, or willful misconduct. We will promptly notify you and allow you to control the defense, subject to our right to participate and to approve any settlement imposing liability or an admission on us.
20. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by Estonian law, without its conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Harju County, Estonia have exclusive jurisdiction, except that either party may seek urgent injunctive relief in a competent court and mandatory consumer law may provide a different forum or governing law. Before filing a claim, the parties will try in good faith for 30 days to resolve it after written notice.
21. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect product, provider, legal, or security changes. We will publish a new version and effective date. For material changes, we will provide reasonable notice and require each signed-in user to accept the current Terms before continuing into the protected product. Continued use after valid acceptance means the updated Terms apply.
22. General terms
You may not assign these Terms without our consent, except as part of a permitted corporate reorganization. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified only as necessary and the rest remains effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms and any applicable signed agreement are the complete agreement about the Service and supersede prior discussions on that subject.
