Terms of Use

Last updated: June 5, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Tarlo application for macOS and the website at tarlo.me (together, the “Service”). Please read them carefully. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Tarlo, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Eligibility and age requirement

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using Tarlo, you represent that you are 16 or older and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. The Service is not intended for, and may not be used by, anyone under 16. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. If we learn that someone under 16 is using the Service, we may suspend or terminate that access.

3. License to use the app

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use Tarlo on devices you own or control, for your own lawful purposes. Tarlo is distributed as a downloadable .dmg for macOS and is not distributed through the App Store. This license does not transfer any ownership of the Service to you.

4. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms. In particular, you agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or our backend;
• Use the Service to infringe the rights of others or to generate or distribute unlawful, harmful, or abusive content;
• Misuse any connected third-party service in breach of that service's own terms.

5. Intellectual property

The Service, including the Tarlo name, logo, software, and website content, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license granted above, no rights are granted to you. Content you create or store locally on your device remains yours.

6. Third-party services and BYOK keys

Tarlo uses a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model. You may connect your own API keys for third-party AI providers (such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or OpenRouter) and authorize integrations with other services. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policy, and you are responsible for your accounts and keys with those providers. We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, their pricing, or how they process the data you send to them. You are responsible for any fees charged by the providers whose keys you connect.

7. Disclaimer and your responsibility

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that AI-generated outputs will be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any purpose.

Tarlo is a tool that carries out your instructions on your own device, using the AI providers and integrations you connect. It is not the author of your content, and we do not control, monitor, or endorse how you use it. We are responsible only for the quality of the product itself — that is, for the Tarlo software we provide. We are not responsible for the actions you take, or the results you produce, by using the Service as a tool. You are solely responsible for how you use the Service and for everything you do with it, including:

• Your data. You are responsible for the data you provide to, store in, or instruct Tarlo to act on, and for handling that data lawfully (including obtaining any necessary consents and complying with applicable privacy and data-protection laws).
• Intellectual property and copyright. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to any content you use with the Service and that your content and outputs do not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party.
• Commercial and other use. You are responsible for any commercial, professional, or other use you make of the Service and its outputs, and for ensuring that such use complies with applicable laws and with the terms of any third-party provider you connect.
• Reviewing outputs and actions. AI-generated outputs may be wrong or inappropriate; you must review actions and outputs before relying on them.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible or liable for any act or omission you carry out using the Service as a tool, for the content you create or process with it, or for the consequences of any action you instruct Tarlo to take. Our responsibility is confined to the quality and functioning of the Tarlo software as delivered.

8. Limitation of liability

Consistent with the disclaimer above, we are responsible only for the quality of the Tarlo software itself, and not for the actions you take, or the outcomes you produce, by using the Service as a tool. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, nor for any loss of data, profits, revenue, business, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your reliance on any output, or any action you instruct Tarlo to take — whether based in contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Tarlo is a tool. We are not responsible for any actions you take, or any outcomes that result, from using the Service — including how you use it, the content or outputs you generate, your data, your compliance with intellectual-property or copyright rules, or any commercial use. You are solely responsible for your use of the Service and for anything you do with it. Our responsibility is limited to the quality of the product (the Service) itself. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all other liability arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded — for example, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

9. Subscriptions and payments

Tarlo may offer paid plans in the future. When available, subscriptions and payments will be processed by a third-party payment provider acting as merchant of record (Stripe or Paddle). Pricing, billing cycles, renewal, and refund terms applicable to paid plans will be presented at the time of purchase and form part of these Terms when you subscribe. Until paid plans are launched, no payment is required to use the Service.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and uninstall the app. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service or any optional account if you breach these Terms or if necessary to protect the Service or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless otherwise required by mandatory local law.

Tarlo is operated by Doroshenko Dmytro, located at 97 Beverley Drive, Prestatyn, LL19 7RD, United Kingdom. Questions about these Terms can be directed to hello@tarlo.me.
