Version 1.0 · Effective October 1, 2026
Have a licensed Idaho attorney review this before you sell Arla. It was drafted with AI help and is not legal advice.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Cody Dean, publishing as Irishwarhound ("we", "us", "our"). They cover the Arla desktop app, the Arla mobile app, and any related websites, updates, skills, templates and documents (together, "Arla" or the "Software").
By installing, opening or using Arla, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use Arla. If you use Arla for an organization, you confirm you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organization.
Please read sections 5 (AI output), 6 (code and automated actions), 15 (no warranties), 16 (limitation of liability), 17 (indemnification) and 21 (disputes, arbitration and class action waiver) carefully. They limit our responsibility and affect your legal rights.
1.1 You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, whichever is higher. If you are between 13 and that age, you may use Arla only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms. Arla is not for children under 13.
1.2 You may not use Arla if the law forbids you to, or if we have previously suspended your use.
2.1 Arla is a personal software hub that connects artificial intelligence ("AI") models you choose, including models running on your own devices and third-party AI services, and gives them tools to help you: chat, planning, memory, document search, file and settings changes, terminal sessions, scheduled tasks and computer power controls.
2.2 Arla is a tool that you direct and control. Arla and its assistant ("Arla"), personas, specialists, skills and teams are software features, not people, professionals or advisers. They don't have judgment, responsibility or accountability.
2.3 Most of Arla runs on your own hardware. Its speed, quality, cost and availability depend on your devices, networks, the models you install and the third-party services you connect, none of which we control.
3.1 Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use Arla on devices you own or control.
3.2 You may not, and may not help anyone else to:
(a) copy, sell, rent, lease, sublicense or redistribute Arla, except as the law expressly allows;
(b) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble Arla, except where the law allows it despite this restriction;
(c) remove or change any notices of ownership, licensing or legal terms;
(d) use Arla to build a competing product by copying its features, content or design;
(e) get around license checks, security, permissions, rate limits or safety features;
(f) use Arla in any way that breaks these Terms or the law.
3.3 Open-source components included in Arla are licensed under their own licenses, which apply to those components and control where they conflict with these Terms.
4.1 Some features need accounts or API keys from third parties (for example OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, OpenRouter, Mistral, NVIDIA, Hugging Face or Ollama). You get these directly from those providers, under their terms.
4.2 You are responsible for keeping your keys, passwords, pairing codes, devices and networks secure, and for all activity that happens through them, including charges, rate-limit use and actions taken by AI models you connect. Tell the relevant provider immediately if you think a key has been exposed.
4.3 Pairing a phone or other device with the Arla hub lets that device use your hub. Only pair devices you control, on networks you trust. You are responsible for your router, firewall, VPN (such as Tailscale) and operating-system security settings.
5.1 AI models make mistakes. Output from any model used through Arla (local or cloud, including Arla, personas, specialists, teams, skills, summaries, plans, schedules, timelines, milestone checks and imported-chat analysis) may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, offensive, insecure or inappropriate for your purpose. Output can sound confident and still be wrong.
5.2 AI output is not professional advice. It is not medical, mental-health, legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, insurance, engineering, safety or other professional advice, and it doesn't create any professional relationship. Always check important information with a qualified professional and original sources before relying on it.
5.3 You are solely responsible for deciding whether and how to use any output, and for checking its accuracy, suitability, legality and safety before relying on it, publishing it, sending it or acting on it.
5.4 Features that estimate things, such as savings, time returned, working style, pacing, deadlines, plan status ("on track", "behind") or automatically marked milestones, are approximations for convenience. They may be wrong and must not be relied on for business, contractual, financial or safety decisions.
5.5 Output may resemble content that others own. You are responsible for making sure your use of output doesn't infringe anyone's rights.
6.1 Arla can, when you allow it, write and edit files, run code (including Python), open terminals, launch tools, change app settings, create and run scheduled tasks and reminders, and sleep, lock, restart, shut down or wake your computer. Some of these actions can run without asking you each time, depending on the permissions you choose.
6.2 You are solely responsible for every action taken on your devices through Arla, whether you took it yourself, approved it, set a permission that allowed it, scheduled it, or it was proposed or carried out by an AI model or skill. This includes any code, commands, scripts, configurations, file changes and deletions, and their results.
6.3 Code and commands produced or run by AI models, by skills (including skills that Arla or others create, or that you import), by other software or by you may contain errors, security vulnerabilities or destructive operations. Review all code and commands before running them. Test changes in a safe environment before using them in production. Keep your own backups.
6.4 A power action (sleep, restart, shut down) or a scheduled wake can interrupt unsaved work, downloads, updates or other programs. Save your work, and use the on-screen cancel option or permissions if you don't want this.
6.5 Verification features (such as skill tests, plan evidence checks, permission prompts and safety guards) reduce risk but don't guarantee correctness, safety or security.
6.6 Don't point Arla's tools at systems, files, accounts or networks you don't own or aren't authorized to use.
7.1 Arla lets you connect third-party AI models and services, download models, fetch web pages and import data from other apps. These third parties are not under our control. Their own terms, privacy policies, usage limits, content policies and fees apply to your use of them, and you are responsible for following them.
7.2 When you choose a cloud model, the content you send to it (your prompts, context, files, memories, imported chats or photos included in a request) goes to that provider and is handled under its terms. Local models keep data on your devices.
7.3 We are not responsible for third-party models, services, websites, downloads or content, including their availability, accuracy, security, pricing, charges, changes or data practices. A provider may change or discontinue a model or service at any time, and features that depend on it may stop working.
7.4 Any fees you owe to third parties are between you and them.
8.1 "Your Content" means everything you put into or create with Arla: prompts, chats, files, notes, goals, memories, settings, photos, imported chat history, skills and output generated for you. Between you and us, you own Your Content.
8.2 Arla stores Your Content mainly on your own devices. We don't receive it unless you choose to send it to us (for example in a support request or feedback). Our Privacy Policy explains this further: https://irishwarhound.com/arla/privacy.html.
8.3 You confirm that you have all rights and permissions needed for Your Content and for Arla to process it as you direct. That includes chat exports from other services, documents you index, photos you capture (including of other people, who may need to agree) and personal information about others.
8.4 You are responsible for backing up Your Content. Arla includes backup tools, but backups can fail, be incomplete, or be lost with a device. We are not responsible for loss or corruption of Your Content.
8.5 If you give us feedback or suggestions, you allow us to use them without restriction or payment.
You agree not to use Arla, or any model, tool, skill or output accessed through it, to:
(a) break any law or regulation, or anyone's rights, including privacy, publicity, intellectual property and consumer-protection rights;
(b) create, store or share child sexual abuse material, or sexualize minors in any way;
(c) harass, threaten, stalk, defame, discriminate against, or incite violence or hatred against anyone;
(d) develop, spread or run malware, ransomware, spyware, credential theft, phishing, spam, denial-of-service attacks or unauthorized access to systems or data;
(e) watch, track, record or profile people without legal authority and their consent where required;
(f) make weapons capable of mass harm (biological, chemical, nuclear or radiological), or give serious help to anyone planning violence;
(g) commit fraud, scams, impersonation, or deceptive or manipulative practices, including passing off AI output as human where disclosure is required;
(h) break the terms, usage policies or rate limits of any third-party model or service, or get around their safety systems;
(i) make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on people (such as credit, employment, housing, insurance, education or legal status) without meaningful human review and any legally required notices;
(j) interfere with or overload Arla, other people's devices, or networks.
Arla is not designed, tested or certified for situations where a failure, error or delay could lead to death, personal injury, serious physical or environmental damage, or major financial loss. Examples: medical diagnosis or treatment, emergency services, operating vehicles, aircraft or machinery, nuclear facilities, weapons systems, critical infrastructure, and life-support systems. You must not use Arla for these purposes.
11.1 When you import chat history, Arla files the conversations on your devices and may use a model to pick out facts about you to remember. Import only data you have the right to use. Review and delete memories you don't want kept.
11.2 The camera feature captures photos only when you tap it, and stores them in Arla's own storage. Follow the law and respect others' privacy when you take and store photos.
11.3 Memory and learning features store information on your devices to personalize Arla. They may remember things incorrectly. You can view, edit and delete memories and lessons in the app.
12.1 We may release updates, and some updates may be needed for Arla to keep working. Updates may add, change or remove features.
12.2 Features labeled experimental, preview or beta, or described as optional, are provided for testing, may be unstable, and may be changed or removed at any time.
12.3 We may change or stop offering Arla, or any part of it, at any time, to the extent the law allows.
If we charge for Arla or any feature, the price, billing terms and any refund rights will be shown at the time of purchase, and the storefront's terms (for example Google Play or the Microsoft Store) will also apply. Unless the law requires otherwise, fees are non-refundable. Taxes are your responsibility.
Arla, including its code, design, names, logos, built-in skills, templates and documentation, belongs to us and our licensors and is protected by law. These Terms don't give you any rights to our trademarks. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.
To the fullest extent the law allows, Arla and all output, models, skills, tools and content provided through it are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", with all faults and without warranties of any kind, express, implied or statutory. That includes any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We don't promise that Arla will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, compatible with your hardware or software, free of harmful components, or that any output will be accurate, safe or reliable, or that defects will be fixed. Some places don't allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of these may not apply to you.
16.1 To the fullest extent the law allows, we and our affiliates, licensors, suppliers and contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, business, goodwill or anticipated savings, or for costs of substitute goods or services, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if we were told they were possible.
16.2 Without limiting 16.1, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from or relating to: (a) the output of any AI model, whether run locally or by a third party; (b) code, commands, scripts, file changes, settings changes, scheduled tasks or power actions written, suggested, approved or run by you, an AI model, a skill, a persona, another model or any other software; (c) errors, bugs or security vulnerabilities in code produced through Arla; (d) third-party models, services, downloads, websites or content; (e) your permissions, configuration, keys, devices, networks or pairing; (f) unauthorized access to your devices, keys or data; (g) data loss, including failed or incomplete backups; or (h) your breach of these Terms or the law.
16.3 To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for all claims relating to Arla or these Terms is limited to the greater of (i) the amount you paid us for Arla in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) US $50.
16.4 These limits apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose, and they are an essential part of the bargain between you and us. Some places don't allow certain limitations, so some of them may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law allows.
To the fullest extent the law allows, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our affiliates, licensors and contributors, and our and their officers, employees and agents, from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or relating to: (a) your use of Arla; (b) Your Content, including imported data and photos; (c) actions taken on your devices or systems through Arla, including code run, files changed and scheduled or automated actions; (d) your use of third-party models or services; (e) your breach of these Terms or any law; or (f) your violation of anyone's rights.
You understand that AI is an emerging technology with known and unknown risks, and that Arla can take real actions on your devices. You use Arla at your own risk and accept responsibility for supervising it, reviewing its output and actions, choosing its permissions, and keeping backups.
19.1 You may stop using Arla at any time by uninstalling it. Uninstalling may not remove all data you created; use the in-app tools to export or delete it first.
19.2 We may suspend or end your license if you break these Terms, if the law requires it, or to protect users, third parties or Arla.
19.3 Sections 5 to 11 and 14 to 23, and any other terms that by their nature should survive, continue to apply after termination.
You will follow all export-control and sanctions laws that apply to Arla and to the models and services you use through it, and you won't use Arla in or for a sanctioned country, region or person.
21.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where the law of your place of residence requires otherwise.
21.2 Informal resolution first. Before starting a claim, you agree to contact us at irishwarhound@gmail.com and try to resolve it informally for at least 60 days.
21.3 Arbitration. Where the law allows, any dispute that isn't resolved informally will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules under its rules, in Ada County, Idaho (or by phone or video, at your choice), instead of in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, or seek an injunction for misuse of intellectual property.
21.4 Class action waiver. Where the law allows, you and we each agree to bring claims only individually, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative action, and the arbitrator may not combine claims.
21.5 Opting out. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing irishwarhound@gmail.com with your name and a clear statement that you opt out.
21.6 Time limit. Where the law allows, any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.
21.7 If you live in a country whose consumer laws give you rights that these sections can't limit, those rights still apply.
We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we will show the new version in Arla and ask you to accept it before you continue. Changes don't apply to disputes that arose before them. If you don't agree to the new Terms, stop using Arla.
23.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any purchase terms, are the whole agreement between you and us about Arla.
23.2 Severability. If any part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable part is changed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
23.3 No waiver. Not enforcing a part of these Terms isn't a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
23.4 Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
23.5 Force majeure. We aren't responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
23.6 App stores. If you got Arla from an app store, its operator isn't a party to these Terms and has no responsibility for Arla, except as its own terms say.
23.7 Language. If these Terms are translated, the English version controls where the law allows.
