Terms of Service

Last updated: June 8, 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of NoFlattery ("the Software"), a local-first multi-agent AI chat application. By using the Software, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.

The Software is developed and distributed by the project maintainer ("we," "us," "our"). You are the "user" ("you," "your").

NoFlattery provides a user interface that lets you interact with underlying AI models from third-party providers you choose and configure. We are an independent service and are not affiliated with those model providers.

2. Software License

NoFlattery is proprietary software. Portions of the Software may include third-party open-source components. Nothing in these Terms limits rights granted directly by those third-party open-source licenses for the applicable third-party portions.

2.1 Free Tier

The Software runs entirely in your browser as a local-first single-file web application. You may access and use the Software for personal and internal business purposes, subject to the feature limitations described in the Software (for example, the free tier supports up to 3 agents per conversation).

2.2 Pro License

A paid Pro license unlocks additional features. Pro is sold as a one-time purchase through our payment provider, Creem (creem.io), acting as Merchant of Record. After purchase you receive a license key, which you activate in the app.

By purchasing Pro, you also agree to Creem's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, insofar as they relate to payment processing, tax handling, and refunds.

Activation registers your device with the license service and is limited to a set number of devices per license. You can deactivate a device to free a slot and move your license to another machine. The app re-validates the license online from time to time and continues to work offline for a grace period between checks. Only your license key and a device identifier are sent during activation/validation — never your conversations or API keys (see the Privacy Policy).

We reserve the right to change Pro feature scope and pricing at any time; existing licenses are honored for their term. We may revoke a license — for example in cases of chargeback, fraud, refund abuse, or violation of these Terms — after which it stops unlocking Pro on the next check.

2.3 What You May Not Do

For the NoFlattery proprietary product, official builds, license keys, and project-maintainer services, you may not:

• Redistribute, resell, sublicense, or lease NoFlattery to third parties.
• Modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble NoFlattery (except as expressly permitted by applicable law or applicable third-party open-source licenses).
• Remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices.
• Use NoFlattery proprietary code, design, branding, license keys, or official builds to build a competing product or service.

3. Payment Terms

3.1 Merchant of Record

Pro purchases are processed by Creem (creem.io) acting as the Merchant of Record. Creem is the contractual seller for the transaction, collects applicable taxes, issues receipts, and processes refunds on our behalf. Your payment statement will show a Creem charge, not a NoFlattery charge.

3.2 Pricing and Taxes

Prices are displayed at checkout in the applicable currency. Creem calculates and collects any applicable VAT, GST, sales tax, or other indirect taxes based on your billing location. The final amount, including tax, is shown before you confirm payment.

3.3 Refunds

Refund eligibility is determined by our Refund Policy. In summary: we generally offer refunds within 14 days of purchase when Pro does not work as described, you were charged in error, or you could not activate the license due to a fault on our side.

To request a refund, email contact@noflattery.com with your Creem order number. We aim to respond within 3 business days. Approved refunds are submitted to Creem and typically appear on your original payment method within 5–10 business days.

Creem may also issue refunds at its sole discretion where required by law, card scheme rules, technical errors, duplicate payments, or suspected fraud. If Creem issues such a refund, the associated license will be revoked.

3.4 Chargebacks

If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card issuer:

• We may revoke your Pro license immediately.
• You remain responsible for the original transaction amount plus any chargeback fees, penalties, or costs imposed by Creem or the payment network.
• We ask that you contact contact@noflattery.com before initiating a chargeback so we can attempt to resolve the issue directly.

4. User Data and Local Storage

4.1 Your Data is Local

The Software stores all user data — conversations, agent configurations, settings, provider credentials (API keys, base URLs), and thread data — locally in your browser using IndexedDB. Your Pro license key and a device identifier are stored in Local Storage. We operate no backend servers, cloud storage, or synchronization infrastructure for your data. The only service we operate is a license-activation service, which receives solely your license key and a device identifier to activate and validate Pro — never your conversations or API keys. We have no ability to access, view, recover, or delete data stored on your device.

4.2 Data Ownership

You retain full ownership of all content you create or input through the Software, including conversations, prompts, configurations, and outputs. We claim no ownership, license, or right to any of your data.

4.3 Backup Responsibility

You are solely responsible for backing up your data. The Software provides an export feature (Settings → Export Backup). We disclaim all liability for data loss resulting from browser data clearing, device failure, storage corruption, or any other cause.

4.4 Not for Critical Use

The Software is not designed, intended, or warranted for use in safety-critical applications, emergency services, medical diagnosis, legal advice, financial trading, or any situation where failure or inaccuracy could result in death, injury, or significant financial loss.

5. API Keys and Third-Party Providers

5.1 Bring Your Own Keys

You are responsible for obtaining, managing, and securing your own API keys for AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, Groq, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, or custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints). Usage charges from these providers are your sole responsibility.

5.2 Direct Browser-to-Provider

API requests are sent directly from your browser to the AI provider's endpoint. The Software does not proxy, intercept, log, or relay these requests through any server we control.

5.3 Provider Terms

Your use of third-party AI services is governed by the respective provider's terms of service and privacy policy. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with them.

6. AI-Generated Content

6.1 No Warranty on Outputs

AI-generated content is produced by third-party models over which we have no control. We do not warrant or assume responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, completeness, safety, legality, or suitability of any AI-generated output.

6.2 Human Review

AI outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, biases, or misleading information. You should not rely on AI-generated content without independent human verification where accuracy matters.

6.3 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for evaluating and verifying any AI-generated content before using or relying on it. You assume all risks associated with your use of AI-generated outputs.

6.4 Not Professional Advice

NoFlattery is a thinking aid, not a substitute for professional advice. Its output is not financial, legal, medical, tax, or psychological advice. For decisions with significant financial, legal, or health consequences, consult a qualified professional before acting.

7. Optional Tools

The Software includes optional tool integrations that, when used, make external API calls from your browser:

Some tools require explicit credentials or configuration (e.g., Linkup requires a Linkup API key). Public tools such as CoinGecko, World Bank, and QuickChart may be available whenever tool calling is enabled and may be invoked by the AI model during a conversation. All tool requests go directly from your browser to the external service — we do not proxy any tool calls.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Software to:

• Generate, distribute, or facilitate content that is illegal, harmful, fraudulent, or violates the rights of others.
• Violate the acceptable use policies of any AI provider whose API keys you use.
• Circumvent rate limits, authentication, or security measures of third-party services.
• Transmit malware, viruses, or malicious code through the Software.
• Engage in any activity that violates applicable local, national, or international law.

We reserve the right to revoke Pro licenses and block access to any hosted instance of the Software we control in response to violations of this section. A revoked license stops unlocking Pro on the next online check.

9. Intellectual Property

9.1 Software Ownership

The NoFlattery proprietary product, including its source code, design, trademarks, logos, documentation, and license-key system, is the intellectual property of the project maintainer. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.

Third-party open-source portions remain governed by their respective licenses.

9.2 Your Content

You retain all intellectual property rights in the content you create using the Software. We claim no ownership over your prompts, conversations, configurations, or outputs.

9.3 Feedback

Any feedback, suggestions, or feature requests you provide may be used without restriction or compensation.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

We do not warrant that:

• The Software will meet your specific requirements or expectations.
• AI-generated content will be accurate, complete, or suitable for your purposes.
• The Software will operate without interruption, bugs, or security vulnerabilities.
• Third-party AI provider APIs will remain available, compatible, or cost-free.

Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of implied warranties. In such jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PROJECT MAINTAINER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Our total cumulative liability for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the Software shall not exceed the amount you paid for a Pro license in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or ten US dollars (USD $10) if you have not purchased a Pro license.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the project maintainer from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• Your use of the Software in violation of these Terms.
• Content you generate, distribute, or publish using the Software.
• Your violation of third-party provider terms or applicable law.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

13.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, without regard to conflict of law principles.

13.2 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal legal action, you agree to contact us to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

13.3 Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be noted in the Software's changelog. Continued use of the Software after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. The date of the latest revision is indicated at the top of this page.
