Terms for using Runeka

1. Who provides the Service

The real operator legal name, registered address, country, and governing law have not been configured. The Runeka brand and the Lumo-Works GitHub organisation are not substitutes for that legal identity. No operator should enable an external beta or paid offer in this state.

2. Agreement, age, and separate choices

Invited testers accept these Terms through the affirmative private-beta clickwrap. Any future activation or purchase flow must show the applicable Terms before acceptance. Merely reading the Privacy Notice is not consent to optional processing. Runeka’s Diary cloud-processing consent and telemetry choice are separate, optional controls and are not bundled into these Terms. The external beta is for adults aged 18 or older.

3. The local-first product boundary

Core workspace data—including tasks, plans, Diary entries, wellbeing entries, focus history, and the main SQLite database—stays on your Windows device by default. The live SQLite database is not represented as application-level encrypted. Use Windows account, device, disk-encryption, backup, and physical-security protections appropriate for sensitive personal data.

Optional cloud features have separate boundaries. Licensing and account features send the identifiers needed to provide those services. Encrypted cloud backup uploads a client-encrypted blob and necessary metadata. Hosted AI sends only the exact content and context shown in its invocation receipt after the relevant separate consent and user action.

4. Your content and permissions

You retain your rights in content you create. You give Runeka only the limited permission needed to process content when you deliberately invoke a hosted feature, provide support material, or request a cloud operation. You must have the right to submit the content and should avoid including another person’s sensitive information unless necessary and lawful. Runeka does not obtain permission to sell Diary content or use it for advertising merely because you use the Service.

5. AI and wellbeing features

AI output is generated by a machine, may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, unsuitable, or unsafe, and must be reviewed by you. Runeka is a bounded reflective-writing and planning tool—not a therapist, medical provider, diagnostic service, treatment, crisis service, lawyer, financial adviser, or substitute for qualified human help. Therapeutic Reflection describes a style of reflective writing, not therapy. Read the AI & wellbeing disclaimer before using these features.

AI suggestions are hypotheses, not facts about you or anyone else. Runeka does not silently change user-reported wellbeing values. Only values you enter or explicitly confirm become wellbeing records. Do not use AI output as the sole basis for medical, safety, legal, financial, relationship, employment, or other consequential decisions.

6. Safety and emergencies

Runeka does not continuously monitor Diary entries or messages and cannot guarantee that it will detect risk, distress, abuse, self-harm, or an emergency. If you or another person may be in immediate danger, stop using the reflection feature and contact local emergency services or a trusted person who can provide immediate human support. Runeka does not guess or hardcode hotline numbers; localized resource information must come from the reviewed safety route.

7. Accounts, licenses, and security

Keep license keys, access links, recovery material, passwords, and devices secure. Do not share private beta access credentials. You are responsible for activity performed with credentials under your control, except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise. Tell support promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. Device, offline-grace, quota, and feature limits shown in the offer or account surface form part of the applicable plan.

8. Acceptable use

You must not:

• use the Service unlawfully or to violate another person’s rights;
• attempt to bypass access, quota, safety, security, or provider-routing controls;
• probe, disrupt, overload, scrape, resell, or reverse engineer hosted services except where law permits;
• submit malware, stolen credentials, or content you have no right to process;
• present AI output as professional diagnosis, treatment, emergency guidance, or verified fact; or
• use the Service to manipulate, coerce, harass, discriminate against, or make high-impact decisions about another person.

9. Beta status, updates, and availability

Beta features may be incomplete, unavailable, changed, or removed and may contain defects. Back up important local data before testing. We may suspend a hosted feature to protect users, security, service integrity, or legal compliance. Material changes should be explained before they take effect; changes do not silently expand a withdrawn Diary or telemetry consent.

10. Purchases, subscriptions, cancellation, and withdrawal

No paid public offer is authorized while the repository’s commercial and legal release gates remain closed. If a paid offer is enabled later, the checkout must identify the seller or merchant of record, total price and taxes, billing interval, trial conversion date, renewal, cancellation, refund process, and any applicable withdrawal right before payment. Paddle is the intended merchant of record, but the exact checkout and order confirmation control the payment contract. These Terms do not remove mandatory consumer rights, legal guarantees, remedies for non-conforming digital content or services, or a statutory withdrawal right.

11. Third-party services

Optional hosted functions may use configured hosting, email, payment, storage, error-reporting, and AI providers. Server-controlled routing may choose Anthropic or OpenAI for hosted AI. Provider availability, terms, regions, and retention differ. The Privacy Notice describes the data boundary; the deployed provider and retention configuration must be verified before external beta.

12. Ownership of the Service

Runeka and its licensors retain rights in the application, hosted services, branding, and documentation, excluding your content and third-party components. Subject to these Terms and the applicable plan, you receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use the Windows application. Open-source components remain governed by their own licenses.

13. Disclaimers and liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the beta Service is provided without a promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, suitable for a particular purpose, or that AI output will be accurate. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability, warranties, remedies, or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or deliberate misconduct where applicable. Any permitted limitation must be reviewed for the operator’s jurisdiction before release.

14. Ending use and data access

You may stop using the Service at any time. Local data remains on your device unless you delete it. Withdrawing optional consent stops future processing under that consent but does not itself delete already saved local reflections, approved memories, backups, account records, or records retained under another lawful basis; use the corresponding deletion controls or contact support. Suspension of hosted access should not prevent legally required access, export, or remedies.

15. Governing law and disputes

Governing law and the operator forum remain a release blocker. Mandatory consumer protections and access to competent courts cannot be replaced by an invented jurisdiction.
