Terms of Service

Last updated: February 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using HammerLock AI ("the Service"), including the desktop application, website, and any associated services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of any modifications.

2. Service Description

HammerLock AI provides a privacy-first AI desktop application and complementary web services. The desktop application runs locally on your device and includes features such as an encrypted vault, AI-powered chat with multiple model providers, document analysis, and agent workflows. Web services include account management, license key provisioning, and optional cloud AI routing for subscription tiers that include bundled credits.

3. Accounts and License Keys

When you purchase a subscription, you receive a unique license key that activates the desktop application. License keys are tied to your purchase and are non-transferable. You are responsible for keeping your license key secure. Do not share your license key with others.

Each license key is valid for use on a reasonable number of personal devices. We reserve the right to deactivate license keys that show signs of abuse or unauthorized redistribution.

4. Subscription and Billing

HammerLock AI offers subscription plans billed on a recurring basis through Stripe, our payment processor. All prices are displayed at the time of purchase. There are no long-term contracts. You may cancel your subscription at any time from your Stripe customer portal.

Upon cancellation, you will retain access to your plan features through the end of your current billing period. No refunds are issued for partial billing periods. If your subscription lapses, your license key will revert to free-tier functionality, but your local data and vault remain intact on your device.

We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable notice. Existing subscribers will be notified of any price changes before their next billing cycle.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use HammerLock AI only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You may not:

  • Use the Service to generate, store, or distribute illegal or harmful content
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or tamper with the application beyond what is permitted by the applicable open-source license
  • Circumvent or attempt to circumvent license key verification or subscription enforcement
  • Use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm others
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute license keys or access to the Service
  • Overload or interfere with the Service's infrastructure or cloud endpoints

6. Intellectual Property

The HammerLock AI desktop application is built on the OpenClaw open-source engine, which is released under the MIT License. You are free to use, modify, and distribute the OpenClaw engine in accordance with the MIT License terms.

The HammerLock AI brand, name, logo, website content, and proprietary cloud services are owned by HammerLock AI and are not covered by the MIT License. All content you create and store within the application remains your property. We claim no ownership over your data, chats, vault contents, or generated outputs.

7. Limitation of Liability

HammerLock AI is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI-generated outputs will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, HammerLock AI and its creators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption.

Our total liability for any claim arising from the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

8. Termination

You may stop using HammerLock AI at any time by canceling your subscription and uninstalling the application. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms of Service, engage in abusive behavior, or if required by law.

Upon termination, your license key will be deactivated and cloud services will become unavailable. Your locally stored data, vault contents, and encrypted files remain on your device and are not affected by account termination.

9. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes arising from these terms or the Service shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation, and if necessary, binding arbitration.
