License and terms

PriestAI — License and Terms

Plain language on purpose. The bold sentences are the ones that matter. This file is the licence: the page at pavona.locker/terms/ is generated from it, so the two cannot say different things.

1. What you pay

While PriestAI is in beta, the download is free and there is no license to buy. Nothing is charged, no card is taken, and no account is created. When it ships publicly it becomes one license per person, covering installing and running PriestAI on machines you own or control. It is yours for good — no subscription, no activation, nothing to phone home to. It includes updates through the release channel for one year from purchase; after that, what you have keeps working forever. Anything you downloaded free during the beta stays yours for good, and no later price reaches back to it.

There is nothing to refund while the download is free. A refund period will be published on this page at the same time as the price, before anyone can pay anything.

2. Who you are dealing with

PriestAI is published at pavona.locker by BEM Bio-Engineered Mechanics. Business questions, privacy questions and questions about these terms go to outreach@priest.locker. Support and problem reports go to the address on the News panel inside the product, and to the Support page at pavona.locker/support/ — an ordinary mailbox read by the people who build it, still support@priest.locker. The registered address that will appear on an invoice is published here when there is a price to pay; until then there is no purchase to invoice.

PriestAI is for everyone aged 6 and up. If you are under 13, use it with a parent, guardian or teacher. The app itself collects nothing about who is using it. Cloud model providers and some models have their own age terms; read those before a child under 13 uses a cloud model or a paid seat. Do not give a child's personal details to the website's hosted support chat.

3. What you may not do

You may not redistribute PriestAI — free or paid, modified or not. The source code ships readable so you can verify what the product does; that is transparency, not open source. You may read it, modify it for your own use, and prove any claim we make against it. You may not publish it, sell it, or ship it inside something else.

4. The models are yours, and so is what they say

PriestAI runs models you choose, install, and prompt — including uncensored ones. It does not create, filter, endorse, or review what they produce. You are responsible for what you ask for, what you do with the output, and for using the software lawfully where you live. If a model you installed says something wrong, offensive, or harmful, that is between you and the model you chose to run.

5. No warranty

PriestAI is provided AS IS, with no warranty of any kind — no promise that it is error-free, fit for any particular purpose, or uninterrupted. The test suite in the box (python run-tests.py) is offered so you can measure it yourself; it is evidence, not a guarantee.

6. Limit of liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, total liability for any claim arising from this software is capped at the amount you paid for it. For a download taken free during the beta, that amount is zero. No indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — lost data, lost profit, lost time — are recoverable, even if we were told they were possible. Some jurisdictions limit these exclusions; where they do, these terms apply to the fullest extent permitted.

7. Your data

Local inference runs on your computer. Cloud models and connected tools send data to the services you use. Your conversations are stored on your own disk; that does not protect them from other people or software with access to your computer. A local model can still use a network-connected tool when its permissions allow it. pavona.locker/privacy/ says this again in plainer words, in one place, and covers what the website itself collects.

Setup and model downloads, model catalogue refreshes, web research, cloud providers and other connected tools use the network. Cloud requests can include your prompt and conversation context under the provider's terms. Review the model, tool permissions and destination before using sensitive data. Providers may charge for their services separately from PriestAI.

While the app is open it reads a list of releases every six hours for version, size and checksum information. Downloading and installing an update requires confirmation. As with other network requests, the receiving service can observe connection details such as your IP address.

Problem reports are composed on your screen and go nowhere until you send them yourself. Inspect the report for sensitive information before sending.

The home page names a track before anything loads. Pressing Play connects to Spotify to play it; Spotify can then see your IP address and connection details, the same as any embedded player. Closing the player is remembered on your browser, and nothing loads again until you press Play.

The website's DevAd Support and handbook assistants are hosted services. When you ask a question, its text, relevant recent conversation and public article excerpts may be processed by Netlify and the AI provider. They cannot inspect your installation. Leave out secrets and private files. The website keeps its chat history in the current page's memory; these handlers do not write chat transcripts to application storage or logs. Hosting and AI providers process requests under their own terms.

If you request a representative, review the reply address and message, then confirm sending to the recipient shown in DevAd Support. Including the chat transcript is optional and off by default. A receipt means the support mail server accepted the message; it does not guarantee inbox delivery or a response time.

8. Support and updates

Support is best-effort through the address on the News panel and the Support page. Releases fix what reports surface, on no promised schedule. Nothing in these terms obliges any particular fix, feature, or timeline.

9. Termination

Break section 3 and the license ends. Everything in sections 4–6 survives.

If any part of these terms is unenforceable where you live, the rest stands.
