Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you") and Teminops Corporation, a Delaware C corporation ("TEMINOPS", "we", "us", or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the TEMINOPS application or visiting teminops.com (collectively the "Service"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Description of Service

TEMINOPS is an AI-powered desktop terminal application that enables users to manage SSH connections to remote Unix/Linux servers, analyse command output and logs, and optionally use AI assistance ("AI Copilot") powered by third-party large-language model providers. The Service is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

2. Accounts & Registration

To access the Service you must create an account on our web portal at teminops.com. You agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete registration information.
• Keep your account credentials confidential and not share them with third parties.
• Notify us immediately at support@teminops.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. Accounts registered on behalf of an organisation represent that the individual has authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

3. Subscription Plans & Billing

TEMINOPS is offered under several subscription plans:

Billing is processed through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise TEMINOPS (via Stripe) to charge the payment method on file at the start of each billing period. Prices are listed in USD and are exclusive of applicable taxes. All payments are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.

We reserve the right to change plan pricing with at least 30 days' written notice. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. You can cancel at any time from your dashboard; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

4. Device Limits & License Keys

Each account is issued a unique license key and a per-device key upon first activation. Device limits are enforced per plan (see Section 3). A "device" is a unique physical or virtual machine on which the TEMINOPS application is installed and activated. Attempting to circumvent device limits, transfer license keys to unauthorised devices, or reverse-engineer the license validation mechanism is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination.

5. AI Copilot Features

5.1 Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) Model

AI Copilot features within TEMINOPS require an API key from a supported third-party AI provider (currently OpenAI and Anthropic/Claude). You must supply your own API key. TEMINOPS does not provide AI inference on your behalf and does not store or transmit your AI API key to our servers. Your API key is stored exclusively in an AES-256-CBC encrypted local database on your device.

5.2 AI Provider Terms

Your use of AI Copilot features is subject to the terms of service of the respective AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or others you configure). You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of those providers complies with their acceptable-use policies and any applicable regulations. TEMINOPS is not responsible for the accuracy, safety, or legality of AI-generated output.

5.3 Data Sent to AI Providers

When you use AI Copilot, terminal context (selected command output, log snippets, or chat messages) may be transmitted directly from your device to your configured AI provider. TEMINOPS does not route this data through its own servers. You are responsible for ensuring that any data you send to an AI provider does not violate applicable confidentiality or data-protection obligations.

5.4 No Warranty on AI Output

AI-generated responses are provided "as-is" for informational purposes only. TEMINOPS makes no representation that any suggested command, script, or analysis is correct, safe, or fit for any particular purpose. You assume all risk arising from executing commands on remote systems based on AI suggestions.

6. Security & Encryption

6.1 Local Data Encryption

SSH host credentials, connection details, AI API keys, and other sensitive settings are stored on your local device in an encrypted database (AES-256-CBC). TEMINOPS does not have access to this encrypted data. You are responsible for maintaining the physical and logical security of your device.

6.2 SSH Connections

TEMINOPS establishes SSH connections directly between your device and your remote servers using the ssh2 library with PTY negotiation (xterm-256color). SSH session data is transmitted directly between your machine and your remote host; TEMINOPS does not proxy, monitor, or log your SSH session traffic.

6.3 Session Sharing

The optional "Session Sharing" feature uses WebRTC peer-to-peer connections. TEMINOPS may relay signalling data (SDP/ICE candidates) through its infrastructure solely to establish the peer connection; terminal output is then streamed directly between peers. Shared sessions are protected by a one-time password (OTP) you control. You are responsible for managing who you share sessions with and ensuring appropriate access controls.

6.4 Log Capture

The Log Capture feature records terminal output locally on your device for later review. Captured logs are stored locally; TEMINOPS does not upload captured logs to any external server.

6.5 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for the security configuration of the remote servers you connect to via TEMINOPS, including SSH key management, firewall rules, and user permissions. TEMINOPS is a client application and does not manage or audit your remote server security.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Access systems for which you do not have authorisation.
• Conduct penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, or offensive security activities against systems you do not own or have explicit written permission to test.
• Distribute malware, ransomware, or other malicious code via SSH sessions or the AI Copilot.
• Circumvent or attempt to circumvent our license enforcement, device limits, or subscription restrictions.
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the TEMINOPS application without our prior written consent.
• Violate any applicable law, including export control laws, data protection regulations, or intellectual-property rights.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account immediately upon discovery of a material violation of this section.

8. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in and to the TEMINOPS application, its design, trademarks, documentation, and any improvements thereto are and remain the exclusive property of Teminops Corporation. These Terms do not grant you any ownership interest in the Service. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the TEMINOPS application for your own internal business or personal purposes during the term of your active subscription.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with or depends on third-party services including Stripe (billing), OpenAI / Anthropic (AI inference), and Metered.ca (TURN relay for session sharing). Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. TEMINOPS is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of any third-party service.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE 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, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OPERATION. TEMINOPS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TEMINOPS CORPORATION, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL TEMINOPS'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO TEMINOPS IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (USD $100).

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Teminops Corporation and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any third-party rights, or (d) any data or commands you transmit through the Service.

13. Term & Termination

These Terms remain in effect for as long as you use the Service or maintain an account. Either party may terminate: you may do so by cancelling your subscription and deleting your account; TEMINOPS may do so immediately for material breach or at any time with 30 days' notice for any other reason. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases and we may delete your account data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved through informal negotiation. If not resolved within 30 days, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules, with arbitration conducted in Delaware. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by a prominent notice within the Service at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and TEMINOPS regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Waiver: Failure by TEMINOPS to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment: You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without TEMINOPS's prior written consent. TEMINOPS may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
