This End User Licence Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal contract between you ("you") and Campos Systems LLC ("we," "us," "Licensor") for the Adam Local software, including its installer, updates, and documentation (the "Software").
PLEASE READ THESE SECTIONS CAREFULLY — THEY LIMIT OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND ALLOCATE RISK TO YOU: §6 (AI Output), §7 (Agentic Actions & Your Permissions), §8 (Acceptable Use), §9 (Security & Unauthorised Access), §16 (No Warranty), §17 (Limitation of Liability), and, if elected, §22 (Arbitration).
You accept this Agreement by checking "I agree" at first run (see our assent process) and/or at checkout. Installing or using the Software also indicates acceptance, but the affirmative "I agree" is the primary method. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software. If you accept on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind it.
Subject to this Agreement and payment of any applicable fee, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and run one instance of the Software, for a single user, on devices you own or control, for your own personal or internal business use, in accordance with the tier you purchased, as described at the point of sale.
Any licence key we issue is verified locally on your device; the Software performs no licence "phone-home," and no licence server of ours is required to install, run, or keep running the Software. You may not share, resell, or circumvent licence keys. A key authenticates your tier; it is not an account with us and creates no obligation for us to operate any service.
The Software has no AI of its own. It functions only by orchestrating the AI Provider's software running under your own AI Provider account. You are solely responsible for: (a) obtaining and maintaining your own AI Provider account and credentials; (b) complying with the AI Provider's terms of service and usage policies, as they change — including ensuring that the authentication method you choose (for example, an API key or a subscription login) is permitted by the AI Provider for use with third-party software like the Software; and (c) all fees the AI Provider charges for your usage. We do not sell, resell, broker, or meter access to the AI Provider; we orchestrate your own installation of the AI Provider's software and do not resell it. The Software's optional spending-cap feature is a convenience, not a guarantee, and does not limit your liability to the AI Provider. We are not responsible for the AI Provider's availability, performance, pricing, model changes, or your account's suspension or termination (including any suspension arising from your chosen authentication method), nor for how the AI Provider processes data you send it, which is governed by the AI Provider's own terms and privacy policy.
The Software can optionally connect to Connected Services using your own credentials (for example, to read or draft email, create calendar events, post to social media, or receive text messages). Each is off unless you enable it. You are responsible for your own accounts, for complying with each Connected Service's terms, and for all charges they impose. We are not responsible for Connected Services or for any act the Software performs through them at your direction.
AI Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, biased, or unsuitable. The Software does not provide legal, medical, financial, tax, safety, or other professional advice. You are responsible for reviewing Output before relying on or acting on it, and for ensuring your use complies with applicable law.
The Software is an agentic assistant. Beyond generating text, it can, when you permit, read and modify files in your Vault and take actions through Connected Services (such as creating or editing calendar events, drafting or sending email, or posting to social media).
By default, the Software operates in a review-and-approve mode in which proposed file changes and outward actions wait for your explicit approval, and command/shell execution is disabled. The Software also lets you enable Higher-Capability Modes, which reduce or remove those safeguards — including modes that auto-approve changes, execute arbitrary commands on your device, allow the Software to modify its own program files, and write across your Vault and system.
You acknowledge and agree that: (a) enabling any Higher-Capability Mode is your decision, made with knowledge that it increases risk, including data loss, unintended file changes, executed commands, messages or posts sent, and other irreversible actions; (b) you are solely responsible for your permission configuration and for reviewing any action the Software proposes before you approve it or before it acts under a setting you enabled; and (c) to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any outcome of an action the Software takes in a Higher-Capability Mode you enabled or under an approval you granted. Nothing in this Section purports to eliminate any remedy you may have for a defect in the Software's default review-and-approve behaviour; such matters are governed by §16 and §17 and by any non-waivable rights you have.
You will not use the Software (including any Connected Service, messaging, posting, or command capability) to: (a) send unlawful, bulk, or unsolicited messages, or otherwise violate CAN-SPAM, the TCPA, or any anti-spam or communications law; (b) harass, defame, or infringe anyone's rights; (c) access any system or data without authorisation, or distribute malware; (d) violate any Connected Service's or the AI Provider's terms; or (e) violate any applicable law. We may terminate your licence under §20 for breach of this Section.
The Software runs a local service on your own device and can, at your configuration, be reached over your own network. You are responsible for securing your device, network, and any access token or credential, and for the security consequences of exposing the Software to a network. We are not liable for unauthorised access to, or misuse of, the Software or your device by a third party. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to security@camposenterprises.org; we will make reasonable efforts to respond, but provide no guaranteed timeframe.
The Software is not designed or licensed for use where failure could lead to death, personal injury, or serious physical, financial, or environmental harm (including medical, aviation, life-support, or critical-infrastructure uses). You will not use it for any such purpose.
You may not: (a) redistribute, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or offer the Software as a service to third parties; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law or permitted by the licence of a bundled open-source component; (c) remove or alter proprietary notices; or (d) use the Software to build a competing product.
Updates are delivered as release packages you choose to install. The Software may check our public release page over the network for a newer version (you can disable this check); no update installs without your action. We may modify or discontinue the Software or any feature at any time and are not obligated to provide updates, maintenance, or support except as separately stated.
Except for your own AI Provider and any Connected Services you enable, the Software sends nothing to us; there is no account with us, and no server of ours receives your content. The only exception is the optional update check in §12, which is an ordinary web request carrying no identifying account information (though, like any web request, it discloses your device's IP address to GitHub, which hosts the release page). Our handling of the limited information we do receive (purchase records via our Merchant of Record, support emails) is described in our Privacy Policy at adam.camposenterprises.org. Maintaining, verifying, and safeguarding backups of your Vault and data is your responsibility; we are not responsible for any loss of data.
The Software is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Software, except for third-party open-source components, which are licensed to you under their own licences (see the NOTICES/third-party licences file included with the Software), and nothing here limits your rights under those licences. If you send us feedback, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use it.
Adam Local is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the AI Provider (Anthropic) or ADAM.AI INC. / adam.ai. "Claude" and "Anthropic" are trademarks of Anthropic, used only to identify the AI service the Software is compatible with.
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND UNDER BOTH THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AND COMMON LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE. ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO STATEMENTS WE MAKE IN WRITING AT THE POINT OF SALE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO DATA OR FILES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. (b) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SOFTWARE, OR (ii) USD $100. (c) Exceptions. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by our negligence; and where mandatory consumer-protection law gives you non-waivable rights, those rights apply and the highest level of protection controls. (d) If any limited remedy is held to fail of its essential purpose, the other limitations in §§16–17 remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law. This allocation of risk reflects the price of the Software and is a fundamental basis of our bargain.
You will defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any third-party claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) your violation of §8 (Acceptable Use), any law, or any third party's rights; (b) content, files, or data you process with the Software; or (c) your use of any Connected Service or AI Provider account. This indemnity does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by our own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud.
You represent that you are not located in, or a national or resident of, any comprehensively U.S.-sanctioned country or territory, are not on any U.S. restricted-party list, and will comply with applicable export and sanctions laws.
This Agreement is effective until terminated and terminates automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using and delete the Software; your own data and files remain yours. Sections 4–11 and 13–26 survive termination.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and (subject to §22) the exclusive venue for disputes is the state and federal courts in Navajo County, Arizona, to whose jurisdiction you consent. Before filing anything, you agree to contact us at adam@camposenterprises.org and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days. Either party may always bring an individual claim in small-claims court (in Arizona, small-claims jurisdiction is currently up to $5,000).
This Section applies to any dispute not resolved under §21 and replaces the court venue in §21 for those disputes. Any such dispute will be resolved by individual binding arbitration administered by AAA under its consumer rules. You and we waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. You may opt out of this Section by emailing adam@camposenterprises.org within 30 days of first accepting this Agreement, in which case §21 (court venue) governs. The small-claims carve-out in §21 always applies.
You must be at least 18 years old to purchase, install, or operate the Software.
We may update this Agreement; we will change the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, present the updated terms for your acceptance at next launch. Continued use after a non-material change constitutes acceptance. If you first installed the Software under an earlier beta licence, your continued use after an update that presents this Agreement, and your acceptance of the clickwrap, constitute acceptance of this Agreement, which supersedes the beta licence.
Your purchase is processed by our Merchant of Record and your AI usage by the AI Provider, each under its own terms. As between you and us, this Agreement governs your use of the Software; the Merchant of Record's terms govern the payment transaction, and the AI Provider's terms govern your AI usage. If those third-party terms conflict with this Agreement, they control only for their own subject matter.
This Agreement, with the Terms of Service, Refund Policy, and Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement regarding the Software and supersedes prior agreements (including any earlier LICENSE/EULA shipped with beta versions). We may assign this Agreement (for example, to an affiliated entity such as Campos Systems LLC); you may not. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the provision is limited to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Force majeure: we are not liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Notices: legal notices to us go to Campos Systems LLC at adam@camposenterprises.org; to you, at the email associated with your purchase. Nothing creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship.
