GPT4All: Terms of Service

Last Update: October 18th, 2024


1. Terms
Nomic, Inc. and its subsidiaries or affiliates (“we,” “our” or “us”). By installing or using the GPT4All application (the “Software“), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the “Agreement”). This Agreement governs your use of the Software, whether you are using the Community Edition (MIT License) or the Enterprise Edition (Commercial License). If you do not agree to the terms outlined here, you must not install or use the Software.
2. Licensing

We provide two different licensing options for GPT4All:
Community Edition (MIT License): You may use, modify, and distribute this edition freely under the MIT License. No warranties are provided, and you must comply with the terms of the MIT License, which includes, but is not limited to, providing proper attribution to the original creators when redistributing the software.
Enterprise Edition (Commercial License): This edition is available for commercial use by businesses and organizations. The terms of the Enterprise License will govern the use, redistribution, and modification of the Software in a commercial context. Specific features and extended support may be included. Usage of the Enterprise Edition requires acceptance of additional commercial terms, as outlined in the associated license agreement.

3. Subscriber Content and Data

GPT4All Enterprise does not collect or transmit your data to external servers as it runs locally on your machine.
Community Edition: Upon opt-in, we may collect telemetry, usage logs, and personal information.
Enterprise Edition: While no data is sent off the local machine, certain logging and performance monitoring features may be made available to improve the enterprise use case. These logs are entirely local unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties under a specific enterprise service contract.

4. Use License

Subject to the terms of the respective licenses (MIT for Community, Commercial for Enterprise), we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Software. Under this license, you must NOT:
a. Modify or distribute the Enterprise Edition without explicit permission;
b. Use the Community Edition for commercial purposes, unless specified by the MIT License;
c. Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Enterprise Edition;
d. Transfer or sublicense the Enterprise Edition to any third party without our prior written consent.
This license is automatically terminated if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by us at any time.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Software is provided “as is“ and without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no guarantees regarding the performance, reliability, or suitability of the Software for any specific task, and use of the Software is at your own risk. AI software may produce unfactual responses or hallucinations.

6. Limitations of Liability

In no event shall we or our suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption) arising out of the use or inability to use the Materials, even if we or our authorized representative has been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.

7. Modifications and Updates

We reserve the right to modify or update these terms at any time. Continued use of the Software after modifications to the Terms of Service constitutes your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review these terms periodically.

8. No Refunds

You may terminate your subscription or stop using the Software at any time, but no refunds will be issued for any portion of unused subscription fees. If you would like to become an Enterprise Customer, please contact us and your Nomic representative will reach out to work with you.

9. Publicity

We may use Subscriber's brand on our website for the sole purpose of identifying Subscriber as a customer. Any other use of Subscriber's logo or other service marks will require prior written approval of Subscriber.

10. Export Compliance

By using our service, you agree that neither you nor any business or entity on whose behalf you are acting i) are in a location embargoed under U.S. economic sanctions, such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the Crimea region of Ukraine, ii) are listed on any restricted parties list issued by any U.S. or other applicable governmental entity or international organization, including but not limited to lists published by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control and the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Restricted Parties Lists”), or iii) will utilize this product to service, directly or indirectly, a sanctioned location or any entity appearing on any Restricted Parties Lists.
Nomic is required to comply with all applicable U.S. laws, including laws and regulations prohibiting transactions with individuals and entities subject to trade sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and export controls enforced by the U.S. Department of Commerce. You represent that you are not a target of U.S. sanctions, included on OFAC lists of Specially Designated Nationals, or on the Sectoral Sanctions Identification List.

11. Governing Law

These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, USA and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in Delaware, USA.
