1. About these terms
These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and Boulesis LLC, a United States company, concerning your use of Lino. “Lino” and the “Services” include our desktop application, website, online services, and related features.
Please read these terms before use. You accept them when you click to agree or take another action clearly indicating acceptance in an interface that expressly presents these terms. If you do not agree, do not accept these terms or use the relevant Services.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we process personal information. Acceptance of these terms does not replace separate privacy consent required by law. Contact service@lino.one with questions.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 and have legal capacity to enter this agreement. If you accept on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization.
Provide accurate account information, reasonably protect your sign-in credentials, and promptly notify us of unauthorized access you discover. Do not sell or rent your account or share it to circumvent plan or usage limits. You are responsible for your activities and those of people you authorize to use your account, but not for security incidents for which we are legally responsible.
3. Services and software license
Lino provides local working features, cloud synchronization, AI, and related functionality. The desktop application provides local features and serves as a client for accessing Lino’s online services.
If you purchase a subscription, it gives you access to the services and features included in your selected plan, subject to its limits, for the subscription period. It does not transfer ownership of Lino software or provide perpetual access to paid services.
Subject to these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the desktop application. Except for rights expressly granted, we and the relevant rights holders retain rights in Lino’s software, interface, branding, and materials.
Third-party open-source components remain subject to their own licenses. These terms do not restrict rights those licenses grant or conduct that applicable law permits and does not allow a contract to prohibit.
4. Plans, limits, and service changes
Plans may offer different features, capacity, AI allowances, and conditions. Your entitlements are described when you select a plan and in any applicable order.
AI credits measure service usage; they are not currency, deposits, or property with independent cash value. Calculation, expiration, replenishment, and rollover rules are specified in the relevant plan or purchase information. These terms do not authorize retroactive changes to promised entitlements.
We may apply necessary limits to protect security, stability, and reasonable resource allocation, but will not use undisclosed limits to substantially negate expressly promised plan benefits.
We may update features, fix issues, and change available models. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, subscriptions do not guarantee permanent availability of a particular third-party model. If a change materially reduces core benefits during a paid period, we will provide reasonable notice and appropriate alternatives, cancellation, refunds, or other remedies as the circumstances and applicable law require.
5. Your content and permissions
You retain the rights you hold in content you submit, create, or import. Using Lino does not give us ownership of that content or give you rights belonging to others. You must have the rights needed to submit the content and allow its processing under these terms and the Privacy Policy.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, copy, transmit, process, and display your content as necessary to provide and maintain the Services you use, including synchronization and backups, AI processing you request or enable, transmission to authorized tools and connections, and handling feedback and support requests you submit.
This license is limited in scope and duration to those purposes and applicable retention and deletion arrangements. It does not grant an independent right to sell your content or use it for advertising.
If we plan to use your content for model training or fine-tuning, we will explain the data involved, the purposes, and your choices before doing so, and obtain any consent required by law.
6. AI features and outputs
AI may produce inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, inappropriate, or non-unique output. Review and verify important outputs before relying on, publishing, or acting on them.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Lino does not provide professional medical, legal, investment, or other regulated advice. Generating content on those subjects does not establish a professional advisory relationship.
To the extent permitted by law, we assign to you any rights we may hold in outputs generated specifically for you. This does not guarantee copyright protection, exclusivity, accuracy, or non-infringement, and does not transfer rights belonging to third parties.
When AI can read files, modify content, perform actions, or call external tools, set permissions appropriately and review actions requiring your approval. Authorizing an action does not waive rights arising from our breach of these terms or applicable law.
Do not use Lino as a life-critical safety system or use AI output without appropriate human review as the sole basis for decisions materially affecting a person’s rights or interests.
7. Acceptable use
You must not use Lino to:
- Violate applicable law or another person’s intellectual property, privacy, or other legal rights.
- Introduce malware, commit fraud, attack systems, or access data without authorization.
- Circumvent authentication, security, billing, or reasonable usage restrictions.
- Abuse resources through bulk accounts, automated misuse, or similar conduct.
- Resell or provide Lino’s hosted services to others without permission.
- Impersonate others or deceptively present AI-generated content as a real person’s statements or actions.
- Unlawfully obtain, disclose, or exploit confidential information.
These terms do not restrict lawful security research, software analysis protected by applicable law, or your right to publish honest reviews of Lino.
8. Third-party services and materials
Lino may connect to third-party models, websites, resource libraries, and services subject to their own terms, privacy policies, and licenses. Being able to find or access an image, article, code, or other material does not mean it may be freely copied, modified, published, or used commercially. Comply with applicable attribution, licensing, and usage restrictions.
Third-party availability and behavior may change. We do not guarantee continuous availability of third-party services, but this does not exclude our responsibility for our own contractual performance or obligations imposed by law.
9. Free access, trials, and future payments
Lino does not currently accept payments. Free and promotional benefits are governed by the scope and duration disclosed when offered. A free period ending does not create a payment obligation unless you separately and expressly accept a paid arrangement.
If paid services are introduced, we will disclose pricing, billing periods, benefits, applicable taxes, renewal, cancellation, and refund terms before purchase. Accepting these terms alone does not authorize future charges.
If you select an automatically renewing subscription, we will charge only as expressly authorized and provide a clear, convenient cancellation method. Unless stated otherwise at purchase or required by law, cancellation of renewal takes effect at the end of the current paid period, during which your benefits continue.
Refunds follow the policy disclosed at purchase and applicable law. No policy excludes statutory withdrawal, refund, or other remedies. Price changes apply to future periods with advance notice and any further consent required by law.
10. Data, backups, and subscription expiry
Storage, synchronization, backup, and deletion arrangements are described in the Privacy Policy. Keep suitable independent backups of important content, particularly before file changes, imports, restores, or other actions affecting it. Backup features assist recovery but do not guarantee that data can never be lost or recovered to any point in time.
After a trial or subscription ends, your account may move to the applicable free plan. AI, creation, and other operations exceeding that plan may be restricted. Expiry does not transfer ownership of your content to us, and exceeding a free allowance does not constitute consent to immediate deletion. Post-downgrade access, export, and retention arrangements will be explained in plan information or expiry notices.
Stopping use, uninstalling, cancelling a subscription, and deleting an account are distinct actions. Cancellation does not automatically delete an account, and uninstalling may leave local data. Contact service@lino.one for account deletion or help exporting or clearing data.
11. Suspension, termination, and discontinuation
We may take necessary, proportionate measures, including restricting features, suspending access, or terminating an account, if we reasonably determine that you seriously or repeatedly breach these terms, unauthorized activity or other conduct threatens users or the service, law or a competent authority requires action, or lawful overdue charges remain unpaid.
Where feasible and legally permitted, we will explain the reason and provide a reasonable opportunity to correct the issue or appeal. Urgent security risks, unlawful activity, or legal restrictions may require action first.
If we discontinue the Services or end ongoing service for users who are not in breach, we will give advance notice and a reasonable opportunity to export content where reasonably practicable. If we end prepaid services early for reasons other than your breach, we will provide an appropriate refund for the undelivered portion, unless another arrangement is legally permitted and accepted by you.
12. Warranties and limits of liability
We will provide the Services with reasonable skill and care. Except for express commitments and legal requirements, we do not warrant that they will be error-free, uninterrupted, meet every requirement, or always produce accurate AI output.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, other express or implied warranties not expressly promised or legally required are excluded. Experimental and beta features may have additional defects and should not be your only means of storing or recovering important data.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses, or lost profits, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from use of the Services.
Where liability may lawfully be limited, our aggregate liability arising from these terms or the Services is limited to the greater of:
- The fees you actually paid us for Lino Services during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or
- US $100.
These exclusions and limits do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, and do not restrict mandatory consumer rights. Requirements to review AI output, set permissions, or maintain backups do not constitute a blanket release of our own responsibilities.
13. Third-party claims
If you use Lino on behalf of a business or other organization, to the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify us for losses and reasonable expenses arising directly from third-party claims caused by that organization’s unlawful use, infringement of third-party rights, or material breach of these terms.
This obligation does not cover losses caused by our breach, negligence, or misconduct. We will promptly notify you of claims and reasonably cooperate. We will not accept a settlement on your behalf that increases your obligations without your consent. This section does not impose the same broad indemnity on individuals using Lino as consumers.
14. Changes and disputes
We may update these terms to reflect changes in the Services or law. We will notify you of material changes and their effective date and obtain express acceptance where required. Posting a new version does not by itself retroactively alter rights or obligations arising from past events or expand use of existing content without required notice and consent.
You may contact service@lino.one so we can try to resolve a dispute. Contact or negotiation is not a prerequisite to seeking urgent relief, making a regulatory complaint, or bringing a lawful claim.
These terms do not require arbitration or a waiver of class-action rights. Unresolved disputes may be brought before a court with jurisdiction, with applicable law determined under the relevant legal rules. Mandatory local consumer protections remain available.
15. General terms and contact
If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to the extent they can apply. A delay in exercising a right is not a permanent waiver.
These terms and applicable orders or supplemental terms you expressly accept form our agreement concerning use of the Services. Unless otherwise expressly and validly agreed, they do not exclude specific commitments made at purchase or give us final unilateral authority to resolve disputes about their meaning.
