Terms of Service

Last updated

The short version: you get a license to use Hivedeck on one Mac while your subscription is active, your code stays yours and on your machine, and you stay in charge of what your AI agents do.

Hivedeck is a macOS application that lets you run, organise and orchestrate AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI) side by side on one canvas. It is published by EPIWANIX, SAS (société par actions simplifiée), Paris Trade and Companies Register (RCS Paris) 944 129 451, 60 rue François Ier, 75008 Paris, France ("we", "us").

These Terms of Service govern your use of the website hivedeck.dev, your Hivedeck account and the Hivedeck application (together, the "Service"). Purchases are also governed by our Terms of Sale. By creating an account, buying a subscription or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you use Hivedeck on behalf of a company, you confirm you are allowed to bind it.

  • You must be at least 18 years old and give accurate information when you sign up.
  • You are responsible for keeping your password and your license key confidential and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us at support@hivedeck.dev if you think they have been compromised.
  • One account is for one person. Accounts may not be shared.

While your subscription (or a complimentary license we grant) is active, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Hivedeck application on one Mac at a time, activated with your license key. You can move your license to another Mac by removing the previous one from your account.

You agree not to:

  • share, sell, rent or publish your license key, or use one key on several Macs at once;
  • bypass, disable or tamper with license checks, update signatures or any other protection of the app;
  • copy, modify, decompile or reverse-engineer the app, except to the extent the law expressly allows it despite this restriction;
  • use the Service to break the law or to harm, attack or overload our systems or anyone else's.

The app and the Service remain our property (or our licensors'). Apart from the license above, no rights are granted to you.

Hivedeck does not provide AI models. It launches and organises command-line tools that you install and connect yourself (for example Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Aider, or an optional Groq API key for the orchestrator). As a result:

  • your use of those tools is governed by your own agreements with their providers, including their pricing, usage limits and data policies;
  • when you run an agent, that tool may send parts of your code, files or prompts to its provider. Hivedeck itself does not receive or store them;
  • AI agents can make mistakes: they may write incorrect, insecure or destructive code, run commands, modify or delete files, or incur costs with their providers. You are solely responsible for reviewing what your agents do, for the commands you let them run, and for keeping backups and version control of your work.

Your code, files, prompts and the output of your agents are yours. They stay on your Mac and in the services you connect; we claim no rights over them and do not access them. You are responsible for having the rights to the content you process and for complying with the licenses of the code you use.

We regularly improve Hivedeck. Updates are downloaded and installed automatically and may add, change or remove features. We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free. The app keeps working offline for up to 72 hours after its last license check.

The Service requires a compatible Mac (macOS 12 or later) and an internet connection to activate your license and receive updates.

You can stop using Hivedeck and cancel your subscription at any time from your account. You can ask us to delete your account by emailing support@hivedeck.dev.

We may suspend or terminate your access, after notice when reasonably possible, if you seriously or repeatedly breach these terms (for example by sharing your license key or circumventing license checks), if payment fails, or if the law requires it. If we end the Service for reasons other than your breach, we will refund the unused part of any prepaid period.

Hivedeck is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we make no warranty that it will meet your specific needs or that the output of AI agents will be accurate or suitable.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (such as loss of data, code, profits, business or reputation), nor for the actions of AI agents or third-party tools you run, nor for charges billed by their providers. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, death or personal injury, or any liability that cannot be limited by law. If you are a consumer, you keep all the rights granted to you by the mandatory consumer laws of your country, including the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services.

We may update these terms, for example when we add features or when the law changes. For material changes we will email active subscribers at least 30 days in advance. If you disagree, you can cancel before the change takes effect; continuing to use the Service after that date means you accept the new terms.

These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer living outside France, you also benefit from the mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence. These terms are available in English and in French; for consumers residing in France, the French version prevails.

Please contact us first at support@hivedeck.dev — most issues are solved quickly. Consumers may also use the consumer mediation procedure described in our Terms of Sale. Failing an amicable solution, disputes with business customers are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Paris, France; consumers may bring proceedings before the courts of their place of residence.
