Thryve Studio Terms of Use
Acceptance
By installing, buying, activating, or using Atlas, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use Atlas.
Scope
These terms apply to:
- The Atlas Mac app.
- Atlas local voice, memory, companion, and tool behavior.
- Atlas purchases, licenses, updates, refunds, and support.
- Any private alpha, beta, pilot, or early access version of Atlas.
If Thryve Studio later ships accounts, cloud sync, hosted LLM services, team plans, or other products, these terms will be updated before those features are released.
What You Are Buying
Atlas is planned as a subscription product. The subscription is expected to cover the Atlas Mac app, app updates while subscribed, support, and ongoing safety and reliability work.
If Thryve Studio later offers paid cloud services, hosted models, mobile app subscriptions, major versions, business plans, or add-ons, those may require separate terms and pricing.
License Grant
While your subscription is active, Thryve Studio grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:
- Install and run Atlas on Macs you personally own or control.
- Use Atlas for personal or professional purposes.
- Use the Atlas Mac app, subject to these terms and subscription status.
- Receive included app updates while Thryve Studio provides them and your subscription is active.
Multiple machines may be allowed if you are the subscribed user, subject to activation limits. Sharing one subscription across multiple people, households, teams, or businesses is not allowed unless Thryve Studio provides a plan that expressly permits it.
License Restrictions
You may not:
- Redistribute, repackage, upload, mirror, or host Atlas for others to download.
- Sell, rent, lease, sublicense, transfer, or share your subscription, account, activation, or license key.
- Bypass activation, license checks, usage limits, confirmations, or security controls.
- Use Atlas to attack, scan, overload, or compromise systems you do not own.
- Use Atlas to send spam, phishing, fraud, malware, harassment, or unlawful content.
- Use Atlas to violate platform rules, third-party terms, or another person's rights.
- Use Atlas to collect, expose, or misuse private data without permission.
- Attempt to extract proprietary app code or proprietary assets except where open-source licenses allow inspection of their own components.
Open-source components included with Atlas remain governed by their own licenses.
User Content and Ownership
You keep ownership of your prompts, transcripts, memories, vault files, screenshots, clipboard content, messages, and other content you provide to Atlas. Thryve Studio does not claim ownership of your local Atlas data.
You grant Thryve Studio permission to use content you voluntarily send to support only as needed to provide support, debug issues, improve reliability, enforce these terms, comply with law, or protect users and the service.
Early Access, Beta, and Pilot Use
Atlas may be offered as a private alpha, beta, demo, or pilot build. Those builds may be incomplete, unstable, inaccurate, or changed quickly. They may fail during voice recognition, memory recall, tool use, browser control, model generation, audio routing, or shutdown.
Do not rely on an early Atlas build for emergency, safety-critical, financial, medical, legal, or mission-critical decisions.
AI Output and Companion Behavior
Atlas uses local AI models and automation. AI output may be wrong, incomplete, out of date, awkward, or inappropriate. Atlas may misunderstand speech, lose context, recall the wrong fact, or take the wrong tool route.
Atlas is not a doctor, therapist, lawyer, accountant, financial advisor, or emergency service. Companion conversations are for support, reflection, productivity, and general use only. You are responsible for decisions you make based on Atlas output.
Tools and User Responsibility
Atlas can use local tools such as memory, browser, YouTube, weather, timers, notes, files, clipboard, screenshots, Messages dry-run, app control, and vault writes.
You are responsible for:
- Confirming sensitive actions before they are sent, posted, opened, clicked, written, or executed.
- Reviewing files, notes, messages, searches, browser actions, and memory writes.
- Backing up your vault and local data.
- Keeping private information out of prompts, memory, screenshots, and clipboard actions unless you accept the risk.
- Making sure you have the right to process, store, send, or share any data you give Atlas.
Voice Ownership and Access
Atlas is designed to be controlled by the enrolled user's voice. Voice ID is a security and privacy feature, not a perfect biometric lock.
You are responsible for enrolling the correct voice profile, re-enrolling if the gate becomes unreliable, and keeping your Mac secure. Thryve Studio does not guarantee that voice recognition will reject every outsider or accept every valid request in every room, mic setup, or noise condition.
Sensitive actions should require stronger confidence, explicit confirmation, or both.
Memory and Local Data
Atlas stores memories locally, usually in your configured Obsidian vault or markdown folder. You are responsible for:
- Choosing what Atlas should remember.
- Correcting wrong memories.
- Deleting memories you no longer want.
- Backing up or syncing your vault.
- Understanding that synced vaults are handled by your sync provider, not Thryve Studio.
Thryve Studio is not responsible for data loss caused by local deletion, sync conflicts, corrupted vaults, user edits, third-party sync tools, or device failure.
Third-Party Services
Some Atlas features depend on third-party software or services, including but not limited to:
- macOS and Apple services.
- Browsers and websites.
- YouTube and Google.
- Weather providers.
- Payment processors.
- Tailscale or network tools, if you use them.
- Obsidian, iCloud, Dropbox, git, or other sync providers.
- Open-source models and libraries.
Those third parties have their own terms and policies. Thryve Studio is not responsible for third-party services, outages, account restrictions, policy changes, content, privacy practices, or fees.
App Stores and Distribution Channels
If Atlas is distributed through an app store, payment platform, or managed software channel, that channel's rules may also apply. If those rules conflict with these terms, the channel rules may control for purchases, refunds, installation, updates, or account handling through that channel.
Payment, Refunds, and Taxes
If Atlas does not work for you, email support@thryvest.io within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.
After 14 days, refunds are handled case by case. Taxes, currency conversion, app store rules, payment provider rules, and chargeback processes may affect the final handling of a purchase.
Updates and Major Versions
Atlas app updates are included while Thryve Studio provides them and your subscription is active. A future Atlas v2, cloud service, hosted model, mobile app, business plan, or major upgrade may require separate pricing.
Thryve Studio may change, add, remove, pause, or discontinue features, especially during early access and pilot periods.
Support
Support may be provided by email, documentation, repository issues, private channels, or another method Thryve Studio chooses. Unless a separate paid support agreement says otherwise, Thryve Studio does not provide guaranteed response times, uptime, emergency support, or service-level commitments.
Privacy
Use of Atlas is also governed by the Thryve Studio Privacy Policy. The current Atlas build is designed to keep voice, memory, vault, transcript, and tool data local during normal use, with exceptions described in the privacy policy.
Termination
Thryve Studio may terminate or suspend your subscription or license if you materially violate these terms, share or resell access, bypass security controls, misuse Atlas, or use Atlas unlawfully.
Termination does not give Thryve Studio access to your local vault or local Atlas data. You remain responsible for deleting local copies if you stop using Atlas.
Export Control and Sanctions
You may not use, export, re-export, download, or transfer Atlas in violation of U.S. export control laws, sanctions laws, or other applicable trade restrictions. You represent that you are not barred from using Atlas under applicable law.
If Thryve Studio Shuts Down
The v1 Mac app is local-first by design. If Thryve Studio shuts down, the local app should continue to run where technically possible. Features that depend on third-party services, future hosted services, activation systems, updates, or support may stop working.
Disclaimer
Atlas is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, Thryve Studio disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, uninterrupted operation, and error-free operation.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some parts may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Thryve Studio is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, reputational harm, or the cost of substitute services.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Thryve Studio's total liability for any claim relating to Atlas is limited to the amount you paid for Atlas in the 12 months before the claim, or $49 if no higher amount applies.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limits, so some parts may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot legally be limited, including non-waivable consumer protection rights where they apply.
Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Thryve Studio from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising from your misuse of Atlas, violation of these terms, violation of law, or violation of another person's rights.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Changes to These Terms
Thryve Studio may update these terms as Atlas changes. Material changes will be disclosed in the app, changelog, repository, purchase flow, or support channel. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
