Terms of Service

Koru, a terminal-first workspace for macOS

Last updated: August 12, 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Koru application, its CLI, and the optional Koru Cloud sync service (together, the “Software”), provided by Fly-by-wire AB (“Company”, “we”, “us”), a company registered in Sweden. By downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.

2. License

The Koru application is provided free of charge for personal and commercial use. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software in accordance with these Terms. You may not reverse engineer, resell, or redistribute the Software except as permitted by applicable law.

3. Koru Cloud Subscription

  • Koru Cloud is an optional paid subscription that enables end-to-end encrypted sync across your devices. All other features of Koru are free.
  • Subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or yearly basis through Stripe and renew automatically until cancelled.
  • You may cancel at any time; cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide prorated refunds for partial periods.
  • We may change subscription prices or features. We will give reasonable notice of price changes, which take effect at your next renewal.
  • If a payment fails or a subscription lapses, cloud sync may be disabled, but your local data remains on your device and fully usable.

4. Your Data and Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your data and for maintaining your own backups.

Koru encrypts your data on your device, and Koru Cloud is end-to-end encrypted. This means we do not hold your encryption keys or your cloud passphrase and cannot read, reset, or recover your data.

  • If you lose your device, your macOS Keychain, or your cloud passphrase, your data may become permanently unrecoverable. We cannot assist with recovery.
  • You are responsible for keeping your passphrase safe and for maintaining independent backups of anything important.
  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible or liable for any loss, corruption, or inaccessibility of your data, however caused, including where it results from software errors, service outages, synchronization issues, or our own acts or omissions.

See our Privacy Policy for how your data is handled.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Software to violate any law, to store or transmit unlawful content, to infringe the rights of others, or to disrupt, attack, or gain unauthorized access to our services or infrastructure. We may suspend or terminate access that we reasonably believe violates these Terms.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Software is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any data will be preserved or synchronized without loss.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Fly-by-wire AB, its owners, employees, or suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Software, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Software or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us for Koru Cloud in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty euros (EUR 50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case, our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Fly-by-wire AB from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Software or your violation of these Terms.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Software at any time. We may suspend or terminate the Software or your access to cloud services, with or without notice, including for violations of these Terms or to comply with law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The courts of Sweden will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.

11. Changes and Contact

We may update these Terms from time to time; updated versions are posted here with a revised date, and continued use of the Software constitutes acceptance. For any question about these Terms, contact support@flybywire.se.
