Terms of Service

Last updated: July 7, 2026 · Also serves as the End-User License Agreement (EULA)

Product: Ormur, a sovereign phone↔PC encrypted-terminal tool by BarbarOS Technologies LLC ("BarbarOS", "we", "us").

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you", "User") and BarbarOS Technologies LLC, a limited liability company formed in New Mexico, United States ("Provider", "we"). By installing, pairing, or using Ormur (the "Software" / "Service"), you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use Ormur.

0. Summary (plain language, not a substitute for the full Terms)

Ormur is a terminal to your OWN computer from your phone — like SSH, mosh, or tmux. It is not an AI service. You bring your own AI and your own machine; we store no AI credentials and never see your terminal content. We give you a personal license to use the app, provided as-is, and we run only the minimal connection metadata needed to link your phone to your PC. You are responsible for what you do on your own computer and through any third-party tools or AI you reach over Ormur.

1. What Ormur is (and is not)

1.1 Ormur is a remote-access / terminal tool. It connects your phone to a Go agent running on your own PC over an end-to-end-encrypted private network (WireGuard) — a self-hosted headscale mesh with DERP relay, plus a same-Wi-Fi LAN-TLS fallback.

1.2 Ormur is NOT an AI product, AI provider, or AI reseller. We do not supply, bundle, resell, host, or proxy Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT/Codex (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), or any other AI or model.

1.3 The buyer controls their own PC. Ormur connects your devices to your machine. We do not operate, administer, or have access to your computer.

2. License grant

2.1 Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software on devices you own or control, for your own lawful use.

2.2 This is a license, not a sale. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual-property rights. No rights are granted except as expressly stated here.

2.3 Restrictions. You may not, except to the extent applicable law forbids this restriction: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software; (b) remove or alter proprietary notices; (c) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Software; (d) circumvent license, device-pairing, or entitlement controls; or (e) use the Software to build a competing product.

2.4 Updates. We may provide updates, patches, or new versions. Some updates may be required for continued operation or security; these Terms apply to all updates unless accompanied by separate terms.

3. Acceptable use

3.1 Lawful use only. You may not use Ormur for any illegal purpose or to access systems you are not authorised to access. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the right to access and control the target PC and anything reached through it.

3.2 No abuse. You may not use Ormur to: distribute malware; conduct unauthorised intrusion, scanning, or attacks; infringe others' rights; harass; or violate export-control, sanctions, or data-protection laws.

3.3 No account sharing. Ormur links your devices to your machine. Do not use it to share a single third-party account's access with others, to open your accounts to others' use, or to provide unauthorised multi-user access to a single-user subscription.

3.4 Third-party / provider terms are your responsibility. You alone are responsible for complying with the terms of service of every third-party tool, service, or AI you reach through Ormur (e.g. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google). In particular, do not use a consumer subscription (e.g. Claude Pro/Max) programmatically in breach of that provider's terms — use the provider's official API key for programmatic use.

3.5 Trademarks (nominative use). Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT/Codex (OpenAI), Gemini (Google) and others are trademarks of their respective owners. Any references in Ormur are purely descriptive (nominative fair use) and imply no affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.

4. BYO-AI — you are responsible for your AI and your machine

4.1 You bring your own AI. Ormur supplies no AI and stores no AI credentials. Any AI tool you run (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, etc.) runs on your own PC, under your own account, subscription, or API key, inside that tool's own login. The app and our servers never see those credentials.

4.2 You are responsible for your machine. You are responsible for your PC, its operating system, configuration, security, backups, and everything you run on it — including any AI agent or command you choose to execute. Ormur passes your input and output through; it does not vet, control, or supervise what runs on your computer.

4.3 AI output and actions are yours. We are not responsible for the behaviour, accuracy, cost, or consequences of any AI or command you invoke through Ormur, including data loss, destructive commands, or charges incurred with your AI provider.

5. Privacy and the sovereign / no-content-access reality

5.1 End-to-end encrypted. Terminal input/output, commands, files, and keystrokes are end-to-end encrypted (WireGuard) directly between your phone and your own PC. We cannot see, store, decrypt, or transmit that content. It never reaches our servers.

5.2 Metadata only. Our control plane (headscale on our VPS) processes only connection metadata — per-device public keys, a transient mesh IP (100.64.x), and online/offline presence — strictly to connect your devices. Pairing mints a per-device token.

5.3 No analytics, no ads. Ormur contains no third-party analytics SDKs and serves no advertising.

5.4 Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Because of the sovereign design, we are structurally unable to access your content, and our support and security obligations are bounded accordingly.

6. Accounts, pairing, and termination

6.1 Pairing. Use of Ormur requires pairing your phone with your PC agent; pairing mints a per-device token that you can revoke.

6.2 Your obligations. Keep your devices and any per-device tokens secure. You are responsible for activity that occurs through your paired devices.

6.3 Suspension/termination by us. We may suspend or terminate your license, with or without notice, if you materially breach these Terms (including Section 3), or where required by law or to protect the Service or other users.

6.4 Termination by you. You may stop using Ormur at any time by unpairing your devices and uninstalling the Software. If you have a paid subscription, see Section 8.

6.5 Effect of termination. On termination, your license ends and you must cease using and remove the Software. Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g. 2.2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) survive termination.

7. Warranty disclaimer (AS-IS)

7.1 THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, whether express, implied, or statutory, including (to the maximum extent permitted by law) the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

7.2 We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or available at any particular time or location, or that it will meet your requirements. Connectivity depends on networks, relays, and devices outside our control.

7.3 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the mandatory law of your jurisdiction, including, where applicable, the non-excludable rights of consumers.

8. Refunds and cancellation

8.1 Free vs. paid. The core Ormur app does not require a paid subscription. We may offer an optional paid cloud/relay tier. Where a paid tier is purchased through an app store, billing is handled by that store's in-app purchase system (Apple App Store / Google Play), subject to the store's terms. Where a paid tier is purchased outside the app stores (e.g. on https://ormur.app), billing is handled by our Merchant of Record (identified at checkout), which processes payment and handles applicable VAT/sales tax. In either case, we do not receive or store your payment-card details.

8.2 Cancellation. You may cancel a paid subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period; the paid tier remains active until then, after which it does not renew. The free functionality is unaffected by cancellation.

8.3 Refunds. For purchases made through an app store, refunds and cancellations are governed by that store's policy (Apple / Google), and you should request them through the store. For purchases made outside the app stores, refund requests are handled under the Merchant of Record's refund policy. In all cases, applicable consumer law continues to apply. Where you have a statutory right of withdrawal (e.g. EU/EEA 14-day cooling-off for consumers), that right applies; note that by starting use of digital content you may, where lawfully presented with that choice, consent to immediate performance and acknowledge the corresponding effect on the withdrawal right. To request a refund or cancellation, contact info@barbarostechnologies.com, the relevant app store, or the Merchant of Record.

9. Data deletion (GDPR SLA)

9.1 You may exercise your GDPR rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection) as described in the Privacy Policy.

9.2 Deletion SLA. On a verified deletion/unpairing request, we delete your connection metadata (device registrations and associated transient IPs) within 30 days, unless retention is required by law. Because no session content is ever held, there is no content to delete or return.

9.3 Requests: info@barbarostechnologies.com. If you are in the EU/EEA or another region with a data-protection authority, you may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

10. Limitation of liability

10.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business, arising out of or relating to the Software or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

10.2 AGGREGATE CAP. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Software or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us (or to the Merchant of Record on our behalf) for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 50.

10.3 Sovereign reality. Because terminal content is end-to-end encrypted and never reaches us, we have no ability to monitor, recover, or restore your content, and we are not liable for loss of, or damage to, data on your own machine or anything you do or run through Ormur.

10.4 Sections 7.3 and 10 do not exclude liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable mandatory law.

11. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless BarbarOS Technologies LLC from claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising out of your breach of these Terms, your unlawful or unauthorised use of the Software, your use of any third-party tool or AI through Ormur, or your violation of any third-party provider's terms.

12. Architectural commitments (sovereign-by-design)

We maintain the following at the product/architecture level, which makes the framework above real:

13. General

13.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the State of New Mexico, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located there have jurisdiction, subject to any non-waivable rights of consumers to bring proceedings in their place of residence.

13.2 Changes. We may update these Terms; we will revise the date above and, for material changes, provide reasonable notice (e.g. in-app or at https://ormur.app). Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

13.3 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect and the provision is modified to the minimum extent necessary.

13.4 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any DPA, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Software and supersede prior understandings. No waiver is effective unless in writing.

13.5 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

13.6 Export & compliance. You must comply with applicable export-control and sanctions laws. Ormur uses standard WireGuard cryptography (export status: standard / exempt where applicable).
