Terms of Service

AIF-BIN Studio & Tools

Last Updated: February 1, 2026 | Effective Date: February 1, 2026

Welcome to AIF-BIN Studio (the "App"), including the ingestor, inspector, viewer, writer, and related tools, operated by Terronex.dev ("we", "us", or "our").

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App (or any part of it), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. The App & Its Purpose

The App is a local-first software tool that lets you:

Ingest files (PDFs, documents, images, etc.) and convert them into .aif-bin format
Inspect, analyze, view, and edit .aif-bin files
Use your own AI API keys (Google Gemini, Ollama, Llama, etc.) to add intelligence to files
Search semantically across your ingested content
Export original files and extracted content

The App processes files locally on your device by default. When you choose cloud AI mode, files or portions you explicitly send are transmitted to third-party AI providers.

2. Beta / Experimental Status

The App is currently in beta / early-access status. This means:

Features may be incomplete, unstable, or change without notice
Bugs, data loss, or unexpected behavior may occur
We do not guarantee uptime, accuracy, or fitness for any particular purpose
You use the App at your own risk
The .aif-bin format specification may evolve; backward compatibility is not guaranteed during beta

Recommendation: Always maintain backups of your original files.

3. Your Account & Responsibilities

Your Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

Securing your AI API keys — we do not store, access, or have visibility into your keys
Backing up your .aif-bin files and original content
Complying with all applicable laws when using the App

Prohibited Uses

You may NOT:

Use the App for any illegal purpose

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some exclusions may not apply to you.

Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
Loss of data, files, or content (including .aif-bin files)

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice.

Upon termination:

Your license to use the App ends immediately
Your .aif-bin files remain on your device; we do not delete your local files

11. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Informal Resolution First: Before filing any legal claim, contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
