Terms of Use
Last updated: May 13, 2026
Plain English: Conclave is free software you install on your computer. We give it to you as-is. You agree not to use it for anything illegal. We're not liable for what you (or the AI you point it at) does with it.
1. Acceptance
By downloading, installing, or using Conclave ("the Software"), you agree to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you don't agree, don't use the Software.
2. License
Hyve grants you a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license to install and use the Software on devices you own or control, for personal or business purposes, free of charge.
You may not:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software except to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or attribution notices.
- Distribute modified copies of the Software under the Conclave name.
- Use the Software to build a competing product.
3. Third-party AI providers
Conclave connects to AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) using API keys you supply. Your use of those providers is governed by their terms and acceptable-use policies, not ours. Hyve has no responsibility for content generated by third-party AI models.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to use Conclave to:
- Violate any applicable law or regulation.
- Generate or distribute illegal content, malware, or material that infringes others' rights.
- Harass, threaten, or harm others.
- Circumvent security or access controls of any service.
- Process other people's personal data in violation of applicable privacy laws.
5. No warranty
The Software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Hyve does not warrant that the Software is error-free, secure against all threats, or compatible with your environment.
AI output is generated by third-party models. It may be inaccurate, biased, or harmful. You are responsible for reviewing any output before relying on it.
6. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hyve will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or use, arising from or related to your use of the Software — even if Hyve has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Hyve's total cumulative liability under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Software in the twelve months preceding the claim. The Software is currently free; this amount is zero.
7. Plugins and integrations
Conclave can run third-party plugins (MCP servers). Each plugin runs as a separate process on your machine and may transmit data to third-party services. Hyve does not audit plugins for security and is not responsible for plugin behavior. Use plugins at your own risk.
8. Updates
Conclave may check for updates from a Hyve-operated server. Update checks can be disabled in Settings. Updates may add, modify, or remove features. We try not to break things you rely on, but we make no guarantee of backward compatibility.
9. Termination
These Terms remain in effect for as long as you use the Software. You may stop using and uninstall the Software at any time. Hyve may terminate or revoke this license if you materially breach these Terms.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Software after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Hyve is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
