Terms of Service

Simple terms for an agent-first, local-first macOS app: BenAgent is designed to sit beside your work, not between your work and a hosted BenAgent server.

Privacy stance

No hidden cloud path.

The important promise is direct: BenAgent does not run a cloud account service, does not proxy your prompts through a BenAgent server, and does not add third-party tracking to the product experience.

0

BenAgent servers required

0

third-party analytics SDKs

You

control configured endpoints

No BenAgent server collecting prompts.
No third-party tracking pipeline.

Local utility, not hosted SaaS

BenAgent is provided as a macOS app. The product is not built around a BenAgent account, workspace, or hosted message server.

No third-party tracking

We do not use ad pixels, third-party analytics SDKs, or resale pipelines for your product usage data.

Your endpoint choices

If you configure an agent provider, you are responsible for that provider and endpoint. BenAgent does not silently reroute it through us.

01

Agreement to these terms

By downloading, installing, or using BenAgent, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

BenAgent is an agent-first, local-first macOS app for working with agent runtimes. These terms cover your use of the app and the landing page that describes it.

02

Local-first service model

BenAgent does not require a BenAgent-hosted account, workspace, or message server. The app is designed to run as a local macOS utility.

Your settings, selected provider configuration, and local app state are controlled on your Mac. Model-provider credentials stay with the runtime you control, while BenAgent-owned administrative secrets stay in the macOS Keychain rather than a BenAgent cloud account.

No BenAgent server is required for the app shell.
No BenAgent prompt proxy is inserted into your agent workflow.
No third-party analytics or advertising SDK is part of the promised product experience.
03

Configured agent endpoints

BenAgent can be configured to talk to an agent endpoint that you choose. When you send a message to a configured endpoint, you are responsible for that endpoint, its availability, and its own terms.

BenAgent does not make your configured provider a BenAgent server. The app should send requests directly to the endpoint you configure for that workflow.

04

Your responsibilities

Use BenAgent lawfully and only with data you have the right to process. Do not use the app to violate another service's terms, compromise systems, or send harmful content.

You are responsible for keeping your Mac, provider credentials, and configured endpoints secure.

05

Updates and availability

BenAgent may check a configured update manifest and may offer downloads for newer versions. Update availability can change over time.

Because BenAgent is not a hosted SaaS account service, these terms do not promise cloud uptime, hosted storage, or account recovery from a BenAgent server.

06

Disclaimers and limits

BenAgent is provided as-is, without warranties of uninterrupted operation, fitness for a particular purpose, or error-free output from configured agent providers.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, BenAgent is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the app.

07

Changes

If these terms change, the updated version should be posted with a new updated date. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
