Terms of Service

Last updated: March 31, 2026

The short version: You buy Rete once, you own a license to use it on all your personal devices. Don't redistribute it. AI outputs are yours. We're not liable for what the AI generates.

1. Agreement

By purchasing or using Rete ("the Software"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use the Software.

2. License

When you purchase Rete, you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Software. This license grants you the right to:

Install and use Rete on any devices you personally own or control
Use Rete for any lawful personal or commercial purpose
Download and use AI models provided through the Software

This license does not grant you the right to:

Redistribute, resell, sublicense, or share your license key with others
Reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the Software for redistribution
Use the Software to provide AI services to third parties as a hosted service
Remove or alter any proprietary notices in the Software

3. Payment and Refunds

Rete is sold as a one-time purchase. There are no recurring charges or subscriptions.
Payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your payment card details.
We offer a 30-day refund policy. If you are unsatisfied with Rete for any reason, contact us within 30 days of purchase at hello@retes.app for a full refund.
Upon refund, your license key will be deactivated.

4. AI-Generated Content

All AI processing happens locally on your devices. We have no access to your prompts, conversations, or AI-generated outputs.
You own the outputs. Content generated by AI models running through Rete belongs to you, subject to applicable law and any upstream model licenses.
AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or biased. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying any AI-generated content before relying on it.
You agree not to use Rete to generate content that is illegal, harmful, or violates the rights of others.

5. AI Models

Rete provides access to AI models that may be subject to their own licenses (e.g., Meta's Llama Community License, Microsoft's Phi License). By downloading and using these models through Rete, you agree to comply with their respective license terms. Rete is a tool for running models locally; the models themselves are provided by their respective creators.

6. Mesh Networking

Rete's mesh feature allows multiple devices on your local network to work together. You are responsible for ensuring you have authorization to install and run Rete on any device you connect to the mesh. All mesh traffic stays within your local network.

7. System Requirements

Rete requires compatible hardware to function. Performance depends on your hardware capabilities. We do not guarantee specific performance levels. Minimum requirements and recommended specifications are available on our website.

8. Updates

We may release updates to improve the Software. Updates are optional — the version you purchase will continue to work indefinitely without updates. We are not obligated to provide updates, but we intend to actively maintain and improve the Software.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Software is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Software will be error-free or uninterrupted.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Rete or its creators be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Software, regardless of the theory of liability.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms or the Software shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Software.

11. Termination

We may terminate your license if you violate these terms (e.g., redistributing the Software). Upon termination, you must stop using the Software and delete all copies. Termination does not entitle you to a refund unless required by applicable law.

12. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of the state in which the creator resides.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email to the address associated with your purchase. Your continued use of the Software after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
