Terms of Service

Last updated July 8, 2026

These Terms govern your use of the o8.run website and the o8 desktop application. o8 is a local-first macOS app — a governance layer for autonomous AI engineering agents — and this website is a simple, static marketing site with no third-party analytics or tracking. By using the site or the app, you agree to the terms below. We've kept them short and readable on purpose.

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing the o8.run website or by downloading, installing, or using the o8 application (and, where applicable, the Symon companion app), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the website or the app.

If you use o8 on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. The website and app are provided "as is"

The o8.run website is an informational and marketing site. The o8 application is a local-first macOS tool that runs on your own Mac. Both the website and the app are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without guarantees of uptime, availability, or fitness for any particular purpose.

We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website or the app at any time. App releases are distributed through GitHub Releases, and we do not guarantee that any particular version will remain available.

3. License to use the app

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the o8 application (and Symon, if you choose to install it) on macOS devices you control, for your own use or your organization's internal use.

You may not redistribute, resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the app except as expressly permitted, and you may not remove or alter any proprietary notices. This license does not transfer any ownership in the software to you.

o8 is local-first: your settings, sessions, approvals, and organizational memory are stored on your own machine in a local database. o8 connects to AI providers using your own API keys or subscriptions, and you are responsible for your use of and compliance with those providers' terms.

4. Intellectual property

The "o8" and "Symon" names and marks, the o8.run website, and all of its content — text, design, graphics, and layout — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our names, logos, or branding without our prior written permission, except as needed to identify the product in good faith.

Your own source code, prompts, and the work your configured agents produce remain yours. o8 does not operate a cloud that ingests or stores your code; that material stays on your machine and is sent only to the AI providers you configure.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use the website and the app only for lawful purposes and in line with these Terms. You will not:

Use the app or site to violate any applicable law, regulation, or third party's rights.
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the app except where such restriction is prohibited by law.
Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, its hosting, or any related systems.
Misrepresent your affiliation with us or use our marks in a misleading way.

You are solely responsible for the work you direct AI agents to perform through o8, for any code or output they produce, and for reviewing and approving that work before relying on it.

6. Third-party services and links

o8 and the website rely on or link to services operated by third parties. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and policies, not ours, and we are not responsible for them.

App downloads are served from GitHub Releases. Visiting GitHub and downloading releases is governed by GitHub's own policies.
o8 connects to AI providers (for example, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google) using your own API keys or subscriptions. Your use of each provider is governed by that provider's terms.
The optional one-time Founding Operator edition, if you choose to purchase it, uses Stripe for payment processing and Clerk for authentication. Those services are governed by their respective terms.

We do not control these third parties and are not liable for their availability, performance, content, or policies.

7. Purchases & refunds

o8 is free with your own API keys — the full app, no crippled tier. The one paid option is the Founding Operator edition: a one-time purchase made through o8.run that turns on the managed layer for the life of the product, within fair use.

Payment is processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details; Stripe's own terms govern the payment itself.

Refund requests are reviewed case-by-case. If you want a refund, email hello@o8.run from or with the account you purchased under, along with your purchase details, and we'll look at it honestly. Where a refund is granted, the Founding Operator license and its perks (managed inference, the early release channel, the signature theme, and your seat on the wall) are revoked.

8. No warranty

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and the app are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the website or app will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any output produced by AI agents you direct through o8 will be accurate, complete, or suitable for your purposes. You are responsible for reviewing and approving that output.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, or business, arising out of or related to your use of the website or the app, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Because o8 is local-first and runs on your machine using your own provider credentials, you are responsible for your data, your API usage and any associated costs, and the actions you direct agents to take. To the extent any liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to the website or the app is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months before the claim arose.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes will be reflected here, and your continued use of the website or app after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. The version posted at o8.run is the current and governing version.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the website or app will be subject to the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania.

These Terms are entered into with Rainwater Logic LLC, the company behind o8 (doing business as "o8" — "we" and "us" throughout these Terms).
