Terms of Service

Last updated: June 15, 2026

Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the TermPuzzle desktop application and the website at termpuzzle.com (together, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, activating, subscribing to, or using TermPuzzle, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

---

1. The Service

TermPuzzle is a local-first desktop application designed to help users organize, launch and manage development workspaces across macOS, Windows and Linux. A workspace may include:

• Terminal sessions
• Commands
• Editor windows
• Layouts
• Project configurations
• AI-assisted development tools
• Workspace definitions

We may update, improve, modify, add or remove features as the Service evolves.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, and capable of entering into a legally binding agreement to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. License to Use TermPuzzle

Subject to these Terms and an active subscription, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable license to install and use TermPuzzle. The license may be used for personal, commercial or professional purposes.

Each license may be activated on up to two (2) devices at the same time. You may move your license to another device by deactivating an existing activation.

You may not:

• Resell, rent, lease, sublicense or distribute TermPuzzle.
• Share your license key with unauthorized third parties.
• Circumvent licensing, activation, subscription or device restrictions.
• Remove or alter proprietary notices.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software except where applicable law expressly permits such activity.

4. Subscriptions, Billing and Renewals

TermPuzzle is offered on a subscription basis. Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the Merchant of Record for purchases.

• Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled.
• By subscribing, you authorize Lemon Squeezy to charge your selected payment method for recurring subscription fees.
• You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation prevents future renewals but does not affect the remainder of the already-paid subscription period.
• Applicable taxes may be collected and remitted by Lemon Squeezy as required by law.
• We may change subscription pricing in the future. Any pricing changes will apply only to future billing periods after reasonable notice.

5. Refunds

If you are dissatisfied with the Service, contact us at support@termpuzzle.com. Refund requests are reviewed in good faith and are subject to our refund practices and the policies of Lemon Squeezy. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer rights or statutory withdrawal rights available under applicable law.

6. License Validation and Activation

To activate and maintain a subscription, TermPuzzle periodically validates your license. During validation, the application may send:

• License key
• Subscription identifier
• Pseudonymous installation identifier
• Application version

This information is used solely for:

• Subscription verification
• Device limit enforcement
• Fraud prevention
• License management

We may suspend or deactivate licenses in cases of:

• Fraud
• Abuse
• Chargebacks
• Non-payment
• Violation of these Terms

7. Offline Use

TermPuzzle is designed to function offline. Following a successful license validation, the application may continue operating without internet connectivity for up to fourteen (14) days. If a subscription cannot be revalidated after the grace period, licensed features may become unavailable until validation succeeds again.

Your locally stored projects, files and workspace data remain on your device and are never deleted by TermPuzzle as a result of subscription expiration.

8. Your Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

• The commands you configure and execute.
• The projects you manage.
• Any code executed through your workspace.
• Any third-party software connected to the Service.
• Compliance with applicable laws and licenses.
• Maintaining backups of your own data.

TermPuzzle merely launches and organizes workflows you define. You are responsible for the consequences of any actions performed through those workflows.

9. Your Data

TermPuzzle is a local-first application. Your data remains under your control. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, TermPuzzle does not collect, upload, process or store:

• Source code
• Project files
• Workspace contents
• Terminal commands
• Terminal output
• Project names
• Directory structures
• File paths

Anything you create using TermPuzzle remains your property.

10. AI Tools and AI Content

TermPuzzle may be used alongside third-party AI tools, coding assistants and agents, including but not limited to Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and similar products.

TermPuzzle does not access, inspect, store or transmit:

• AI prompts
• AI conversations
• AI-generated responses
• Agent memory
• Context windows
• AI-generated code

Any interaction with third-party AI services remains governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

11. Anonymous Analytics

To improve the Service, TermPuzzle may collect limited anonymous usage analytics. Analytics may include:

• Application version
• Operating system
• Workspace creation events
• Workspace launch events
• License activation events
• General feature usage statistics

Analytics never include:

• Source code
• File contents
• Project names
• File paths
• Terminal commands

Where offered, anonymous analytics may be disabled by the user. Additional details are provided in our Privacy Policy.

12. Third-Party Services

The Service may rely on or integrate with third-party providers, including:

• Lemon Squeezy (payments and licensing)
• PostHog (analytics)
• Vercel (website hosting)
• Code editors
• AI tools
• Operating system services

We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and policies.

13. Intellectual Property

TermPuzzle, including its software, website, branding, documentation, design, logos and related materials, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms grant a license to use the Service, not ownership of it. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

14. Experimental Features

From time to time, we may release beta, preview, experimental or early-access features. Such features may be modified, restricted or removed without notice. Experimental features may not perform as reliably as generally available features and are provided on an "as-is" basis.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of:

• Merchantability
• Fitness for a particular purpose
• Non-infringement
• Availability
• Reliability

We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free or completely secure operation. Some functionality may depend on operating system limitations outside our control.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TermPuzzle and its operators shall not be liable for:

• Indirect damages
• Incidental damages
• Special damages
• Consequential damages
• Loss of profits
• Loss of revenue
• Loss of business opportunities
• Loss of data

arising from or related to the use of, or inability to use, the Service.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the greater of: the amount paid by you during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim; or USD $50. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain liability limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless TermPuzzle and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses arising from:

• Your misuse of the Service.
• Your violation of these Terms.
• Your violation of applicable law.

18. Termination

You may stop using the Service and cancel your subscription at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you:

• Violate these Terms.
• Engage in fraud or abuse.
• Use the Service unlawfully.

Upon termination, your license ends. Your locally stored data remains on your device and is not deleted by us.

19. Changes to the Service and Terms

We may modify the Service and these Terms as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this document. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

20. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Chile, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts of Chile. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer protection rights available under applicable law.
