Software License Agreement
Last updated: July 15, 2026
This Software License Agreement ("Agreement") is between you (an individual or the organization you represent) and Orchestris Inc. ("Orchestris"). It governs your use of the Orchestris Community Edition Server and the Orchestris Chat client applications in binary form (the "Software"). By downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.
1. Scope
This Agreement covers official binary distributions of the Software obtained from orchestris.com or other channels Orchestris designates. It does not cover: (a) the Orchestris hosted services, which are governed by the Orchestris Terms of Service; (b) paid, licensed, or private deployments, which are governed by the applicable signed agreement or order form; or (c) source code, which is not licensed for public use.
2. License Grant
Subject to this Agreement, Orchestris grants you a free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and run the Software, in object code form only, for your personal use or your organization's internal business use.
The Community Edition Server includes built-in functional limits (currently one organization and up to eight users). These limits are part of the license: using the Community Edition within them requires no license key or payment. Expanded capabilities require a paid license from Orchestris.
3. Restrictions
Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or required by applicable law, you may not:
- redistribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or host the Software for third parties as a commercial service;
- modify, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation;
- bypass, disable, or interfere with license enforcement, edition limits, or security features of the Software;
- remove or alter any proprietary notices in the Software; or
- use the Software to violate applicable law or the rights of others.
You may make a reasonable number of copies of the Software for backup and deployment within your own organization.
4. Beta Software
The Software is currently distributed as a beta release. It may contain defects, may change materially between releases, and may be discontinued. Orchestris has no obligation to provide support, updates, or maintenance, though it may do so at its discretion. Do not rely on beta software as your only safeguard for important data; maintain backups.
5. Third-Party and Open-Source Components
The Software includes third-party and open-source components licensed under their own terms. Those terms are included with the Software (for example, in the third-party-licenses directory of an installation) and govern those components to the extent they conflict with this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights under those licenses.
6. AI Providers and Output
The Software connects to AI model providers that you or your organization configure, using API keys or endpoints that you or your organization supply. Your use of any provider is governed by that provider's terms, and you or your organization are responsible for the fees it charges. AI-generated output may be inaccurate or inappropriate; you are responsible for reviewing output before relying on it and for your use of the output. Orchestris does not claim ownership of your prompts or output.
7. Your Deployment, Your Data
For software you install and operate, you (or your organization) control the infrastructure and the data. You are responsible for account administration, data retention and deletion, provider configuration, securing your deployment, and compliance with laws that apply to your use, including privacy and data protection laws.
8. Updates and Diagnostics
The Software may check for updates or, where documented, validate license status with Orchestris servers. Any diagnostic or usage information collected by Orchestris is described in the Orchestris Privacy Policy.
9. Ownership and Feedback
Orchestris and its licensors own the Software and all related intellectual property. This Agreement grants you a license, not ownership. If you provide feedback or suggestions, Orchestris may use them without restriction or obligation to you.
10. Warranty Disclaimer
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ORCHESTRIS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. ORCHESTRIS'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID ORCHESTRIS FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR, IF THAT AMOUNT IS ZERO AND APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT PERMIT A COMPLETE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, TEN US DOLLARS (USD $10). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
12. Indemnification
If you use the Software in a business, you agree to indemnify Orchestris against third-party claims arising from your deployment's data handling, your violation of this Agreement, or your violation of applicable law.
13. Export and High-Risk Use
You must comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws. The Software is not designed for use in high-risk environments where failure could lead to death, personal injury, or severe damage (for example, life support or weapons systems), and you may not use it for those purposes.
14. Termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you materially breach it. Orchestris may also terminate the beta license for the Software with reasonable notice (for example, by ending distribution of the beta). Upon termination you must stop using and delete the Software. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 16) survive termination.
15. Apple App Store and Google Play Distributions
Apple. If you obtain Orchestris Chat through the Apple App Store or TestFlight, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple Standard EULA") applies to that copy of the application instead of this Agreement. Apple provides the Apple Standard EULA. No custom EULA is supplied through App Store Connect for Orchestris Chat unless Orchestris expressly says otherwise in the application's App Store listing.
Google. If you obtain the Software from Google Play, this Agreement is between you and Orchestris only. Google is not a party to this Agreement and is not responsible for the Software. Your use through Google Play is also subject to the applicable Google Play terms, which control to the extent they conflict with this Agreement.
16. Governing Law and Disputes
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You and Orchestris submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.
17. Changes to This Agreement
Orchestris may update this Agreement for future releases of the Software. The version that accompanies the release you install governs that release. Continued use of a new release after notice of changes constitutes acceptance for that release.
