End user licence agreement

We have not released an application. There is no store listing, no download, and nobody outside the company is running our software. This licence is published early so that it can be read calmly, rather than at the moment somebody is trying to install something.

This licence takes effect for each application on the day that application is released, and from that day it governs your use of it. Until then it binds nobody. If a particular application needs different terms, it will say so at the point you get it, and the terms shown there will govern that application.

Your use of this website is a separate matter, governed by the terms of service.

This licence is between you and a Limited Liability Company (LLC) formed in Delaware. The seller name shown on the store listing will be LittleStone, LLC.

Downloading, installing or using an application means you accept this licence. If you do not accept it, do not install the application, and remove it if you already have.

You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live. If you are installing an application for an organisation, you are confirming you have authority to bind it.

Where a business customer has signed an agreement with us that covers the same software, that agreement governs the relationship and this licence fills in only what it does not address.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the application, in the form we supply it, on devices you own or control, for your own use.

The software is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors keep everything we own in it. You get the right to use it on these terms and nothing further by implication.

The licence is revocable in the narrow sense that it ends if this agreement ends. We would not withdraw it from someone using the application normally, and the section on ending this licence sets out the grounds.

With the application, you may not:

• Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, or try to derive its source code, except to the precise extent that applicable law gives you that right despite a contractual restriction.
• Copy, redistribute, publish, sublicense, rent, lease, lend or resell it, or make it available to anyone else as a service.
• Use it, or anything you obtain from it, to build or train a competing product. That includes using its output as training data for a model intended to reproduce what the application does.
• Circumvent or interfere with any limit, quota, rate limit, licence check, paywall or safety measure in it, or use it through any tool designed to do so.
• Use it for anything unlawful, or to help anyone else do something unlawful.
• Remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trade mark or other notice in it.
• Take the application apart in order to extract prompts, model weights, keys or credentials from it.

These restrictions apply to the application as a whole. Where a component is supplied to us under an open-source licence, that licence governs that component, and where it grants you rights these restrictions do not take them away. Applications that include such components will list them.

The acceptable use policy is written for this website, and the same principles apply to the applications. The points below are specific to software with AI features in it.

• Do not use an AI feature to produce material that is unlawful where you are, or that would be unlawful to distribute.
• Do not use it to harass, threaten, defame or endanger anyone, or to impersonate a real person in a way intended to deceive.
• Do not use it to produce sexual material involving children. There is no reading of this agreement, and no configuration of any application, under which that is permitted.
• Do not use it to generate malware, phishing content, or instructions for causing serious physical harm.
• Do not attempt to defeat a safety filter, and do not use an application to launder a prohibited request through a permitted one.

We may suspend or end access where an application is being used this way. Where the conduct appears criminal we may report it.

Some of what our applications do is done by a machine-learning model. This section says where that happens, who owns the result, how reliable it is, and who carries the consequences. It is the part of this agreement most worth reading.

What you put into an application stays yours. We do not acquire ownership of your files, your text, your images or anything else you bring with you.

To run a feature you asked for, we need permission to do the specific things running it requires: hold your input long enough to process it, transmit it to a hosted model where that feature uses one, store it if the feature exists to store it, and display it back to you on your devices. That is the entire licence you give us. It lasts as long as running the feature takes, and it covers nothing else.

It is not a licence to publish your content, to share it, to sell it, or to train models on it. We do not train models on your content. Whether a hosted provider may use input sent to them for training is a separate question with a separate answer, recorded as [MODEL_TRAINING_POSITION] — this detail has not been filled in yet.

Keep your own copies of anything that matters. Where an application stores your content, we will describe how to export it and how to delete it, but the copy you control is the one that survives a lost phone.

Our products will not all be paid for in the same way. Across the range we plan to use paid downloads and in-app purchases, subscriptions, licences under a signed business agreement, and products that are free with no payment in them at all. Which applies is a property of the individual product, and its store listing will say.

Nothing is taking payment today. When something does, the store you bought it from handles the transaction: the App Store or Google Play collects the money, applies its own refund rules, and manages any subscription. Cancel a subscription through the store account you bought it with, not by deleting the application.

Where a business customer buys under a signed agreement, that agreement sets the price, the term and the payment terms.

We may issue updates. Some fix defects, some add features, and some are required to keep an application working with a new version of the operating system. Where your device installs updates automatically, this licence covers the updated version as well.

We may change or remove features. Where a change materially reduces what a paid product does, we will say so before it lands rather than after, and where a subscription is affected we will explain what your options are.

We may stop supporting an application. If that happens we will give notice through the application or the store listing, explain how to get your content out, and honour any signed agreement that says something different.

These terms apply where you obtained the application from the App Store. Apple requires them in the licence agreement for any application distributed there, and for that copy of the application they prevail over anything else in this document that conflicts with them.

• Apple is not a party to this licence. It is between you and us alone, and we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the application and its content.
• The licence is limited to using the application on Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the usage rules in the App Store terms of service.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the application.
• If the application fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation of any kind, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, not Apple's. Support requests come to contact@littlestone.world.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party that the application, or your possession and use of it, infringes intellectual property rights.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for handling any claim about the application, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this licence, and on your acceptance of it they have the right to enforce it against you as such.

Where you obtained the application from Google Play, the Google Play terms of service apply to that distribution alongside this licence, and Google handles the transaction. Google is not a party to this licence and is not responsible for the application.

Google Play has its own refund window, its own subscription controls, and its own route for reporting an application. Those stay open to you whatever this licence says, and nothing here is intended to narrow them. Where this licence conflicts with a right Google Play gives you, use the one that gives you more.

If we ever distribute an application any other way, this page will say what terms apply to it.

Support for our applications comes from us, at contact@littlestone.world. Neither Apple nor Google provides support for our software, and neither can fix a problem in it.

Tell us what you did, what you expected, and what happened instead. That is usually enough. Do not send us passwords, and do not send us anything sensitive that we did not ask for.

You can end this licence at any time by deleting the application from your devices. Where you have a subscription, cancel it through the store as well — deleting an application does not cancel a subscription.

We can end this licence if you breach it materially, and we will tell you why unless the law prevents us. Where the breach can be put right, we will say what would put it right before ending anything, unless the breach is serious enough that waiting is not reasonable.

When this licence ends, stop using the application and delete it. The sections on intellectual property, your content, restrictions, liability and governing law survive. Refunds, where any are due, follow the rules of the store you bought from.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising out of your use of an application or of anything it produces.

Our total liability arising out of or relating to an application is limited to [LIABILITY_CAP] — this detail has not been filled in yet.

Nothing here excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

This licence is governed by the laws of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of New Castle County have jurisdiction over any dispute about it.

Our dispute resolution position is: [DISPUTE_RESOLUTION] — this detail has not been filled in yet.

• If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force and the unenforceable part is limited to the minimum extent necessary.
• You may not assign this licence. We may assign it as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, and we will say so on this page if that happens.
• This licence, together with the acceptable use policy and the privacy policy, is the entire agreement about your use of an application, except where a signed customer agreement covers the same ground.
• Not enforcing a provision on one occasion does not waive it.
• Neither of us is liable for failures caused by events genuinely beyond our reasonable control.
• This licence does not create a partnership, agency or employment relationship.

We may update this licence. The "last updated" date at the top moves whenever the content does, and the version number increases with it.

Where a change materially reduces your rights, we will bring it to your attention in the application rather than relying on you noticing this page, and where the law requires your agreement to a change, we will ask for it. Continuing to use an application after a change that does not require agreement means you accept the revised licence.
