End User License Agreement

Effective September 18, 2026 · Version 2026.09.18

End User License Agreement (EULA)

The Deliberate Company, LLC — Deliberate for macOS

Effective date: 18 September 2026 Last updated: 18 September 2026

1. This agreement and how it fits with our other terms

This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is a legal agreement between you and The Deliberate Company, LLC (“Deliberate,” “we,” “us”) for the Deliberate desktop software for macOS, including its updates and accompanying materials (the “Software”). By downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to this EULA. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

This EULA governs the software license. Your subscription and use of the service are governed by our Terms of Service, and our handling of data by our Privacy Policy, both incorporated here by reference. If there is a conflict, the EULA controls for questions about the Software itself, and the Terms control for questions about the subscription, billing, and service.

2. License grant

Subject to your compliance with this EULA and the Terms, and for as long as you maintain an active subscription, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the Software on macOS devices you own or control, for your own use. Consistent with our per-person licensing, you may install and use the Software on as many of your own devices as you like, but the license is for one person — you may not share it, and each person who uses Deliberate needs their own license and subscription.

3. License validation

The Software confirms your license by verifying your identity (your Google or Microsoft sign-in) with our servers and checking your subscription status; it caches a signed confirmation so it can keep working offline for a limited grace period. You agree not to interfere with, circumvent, disable, or tamper with license validation or any technical protection measure in the Software.

4. Automatic updates

The Software updates itself automatically so every installation stays current and secure. Updates are part of the “Software” and are covered by this EULA, and may add, change, or remove features. You consent to receiving these automatic updates.

5. Restrictions

Except to the extent expressly permitted by this EULA or required by applicable law that cannot be waived by contract, you will not, and will not permit anyone else to:

6. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. You receive no rights except the license expressly granted here. Deliberate and its logos are our trademarks; this EULA grants you no right to use them.

7. Open-source and third-party components

The Software includes third-party and open-source components that are licensed under their own terms. Those licenses govern your use of those components, and to the extent an open-source license grants you rights that conflict with the restrictions in §5 (for example, a right to modify or reverse engineer that component), the open-source license controls for that component. A list of these components and their licenses is available in the Software or on request.

8. Your connected accounts and third-party services

The Software works over accounts you connect (Google, Microsoft) and services we or you use (Anthropic Claude for AI, Stripe for payments). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms, and the AI runs on your own Claude subscription. How the Software accesses and handles the data in your connected accounts is described in our Privacy Policy (sections 7 and 8). We are not responsible for third-party services.

9. Term and termination

This EULA is effective until terminated. Your license ends automatically if you breach this EULA or the Terms, or if your subscription ends, and we may suspend or terminate it as described in the Terms. On termination, you must stop using the Software and delete or uninstall all copies. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (Ownership, Restrictions, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Export, and the General terms) survive.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Software is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. During the alpha in particular, the Software may be incomplete or contain defects, and we do not warrant it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI-generated drafts will be accurate or suitable — you are responsible for reviewing anything before you approve or send it.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability arising out of or relating to the Software is subject to the same limitations and exclusions set out in the Terms of Service (Limitation of Liability), which apply to this EULA as if restated here.

12. Export compliance and sanctions

You represent and agree that you will comply with all applicable U.S. and other export control and sanctions laws (including the Export Administration Regulations), that you are not located in an embargoed or sanctioned country and not on any U.S. government denied-, blocked-, or restricted-party list, and that you will not export, re-export, or use the Software in violation of those laws. This section does not apply to a U.S. Government agency licensee.

13. U.S. Government end users

The Software is “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation” as those terms are used in FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202. If licensed to or on behalf of the U.S. Government, it is provided only with the rights granted to all other end users under this EULA, consistent with those regulations.

14. Distribution channel

The Software is distributed directly by Deliberate (a signed, notarized download), not through the Mac App Store. If you obtain the Software through the Apple App Store, the additional terms in Appendix A also apply to that copy and control over any conflicting term in this EULA for that copy.

15. General


Appendix A — Apple App Store (applies only to copies obtained via the Apple App Store)

This Appendix applies only if you obtained the Software through the Apple App Store, and contains the terms Apple requires of a custom EULA. It has no effect on copies downloaded directly from Deliberate. (Where the Software is offered on the App Store, Deliberate may alternatively elect to use Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, in which case that agreement governs the App Store copy.) In this Appendix, “Apple” means Apple Inc.

  1. Acknowledgement. This EULA is concluded between you and Deliberate only, and not with Apple. Deliberate, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Software and its content. This EULA does not provide usage rules for the Software that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
  2. Scope of license. The license granted to you for the Software is a non-transferable license to use the Software on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the Software may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
  3. Maintenance and support. Deliberate is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the Software, as specified in this EULA or required by law. You and Deliberate acknowledge that Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the Software.
  4. Warranty. Deliberate is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the Software fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the Software to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the Software, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to a warranty are Deliberate’s sole responsibility.
  5. Product claims. You and Deliberate acknowledge that Deliberate, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the Software or your possession and/or use of it, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Software fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims under consumer protection, privacy, or similar laws. This EULA does not limit Deliberate’s liability to you beyond what applicable law permits.
  6. Intellectual property rights. If a third party claims that the Software or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Deliberate, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
  7. Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as “terrorist supporting,” and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  8. Developer name and address. Questions, complaints, or claims about the Software should be directed to: The Deliberate Company, LLC, 35 W. Main Street, Unit 2272, Frisco, CO 80443, [email protected].
  9. Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the Software.
  10. Third-party beneficiary. You and Deliberate acknowledge that Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA, and that upon your acceptance of this EULA, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this EULA against you as a third-party beneficiary.
