TERMS OF USE

Last updated: May 28, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Otherside (CLI and/or the companion app), you explicitly agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, please uninstall and cease using the software immediately.

2. Software Description & Scope

Otherside is a developer tool designed as a command-line interface (CLI) assistant that integrates with external Artificial Intelligence providers configured by the user. It also offers a companion mobile experience to monitor and interact with active terminal sessions remotely.

Otherside provides the communications bridge and interface formatting, but the actual code generation and AI content are supplied by third-party services (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, etc.).

3. API Credentials & Billing

To use Otherside, you must configure your own API keys obtained from your preferred LLM providers. You are solely and exclusively responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality and security of your locally configured API keys.
  • All charges, usage fees, and billing occurrences resulting from the use of those APIs in connection with Otherside.
  • Complying with the terms and acceptable use policies of each integrated AI provider.

4. Pairing & Encryption Security

Otherside employs end-to-end encryption to pair your local CLI with your mobile companion. However, the security of the tunnel depends heavily on the physical integrity and access control of your devices.

When pairing via QR Code or authorization token, ensure you are in a secure environment and that unauthorized persons do not have visual or physical access to your terminal or mobile device. Otherside is not liable for compromise arising from user-side credential leaks.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability

Otherside is distributed on an "AS IS" basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

As a developer tool, Otherside suggests code snippets and executes actions according to user instructions. It is the developer's sole responsibility to review, test, and validate any generated code before introducing it to production environments. We are not responsible for software bugs, service disruptions, data loss, or security vulnerabilities in systems developed using Otherside.

6. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any feature of Otherside, or update these terms at any time. Your continued use of the software after updates are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms of Use.
