This is the version identified by the date above.
A change gets a new version with its own effective date, and earlier versions stay at their own addresses. See 13. Changes.
## 1. Who and what
Ginu · support@ginu.ai
United Kingdom
Contact Ginu at the support address.
In these terms, and in the privacy notice, "Ginu" means the Ginu software and service and whoever runs it, as named in this section.
These terms cover the Ginu desktop app, its phone connection, the iPhone app you install through TestFlight, the relay and the website.
You must be 18 or over to accept these terms and use Ginu. Ginu is a tool for developers and is not designed for children.
2. What Ginu is, and what it is not
Ginu is the orchestrator and harness for your AI agents. It runs them, coordinates them, remembers for them and gives you a voice and a screen to work with them. The AI models those agents use are not Ginu's. They belong to you and your chosen AI provider, under the subscription or API access you already hold with that provider.
Ginu does not sell, resell, repackage or proxy AI access, and it has no model access of its own. What you say and type, and the files your agent is allowed to read, go from your machine to your AI provider under that provider's own terms and privacy policy. Ginu is not responsible for your AI provider, its models, their outputs or its handling of your data. Keeping your AI provider's terms is your responsibility.
3. Your licence, and getting Ginu
Anyone can get Ginu, and no invite code is needed. On a computer, paste the one-line install command from the download page into Terminal (Mac and Linux) or PowerShell (Windows). It downloads Ginu, checks it and installs it. On an iPhone, join through the public TestFlight link on the same page. Android uses your phone's browser, so there is nothing to install. An invite link sent before the public download still works.
The iPhone app comes through Apple's TestFlight. TestFlight is Apple's service, and Apple's terms apply to it as well as these. TestFlight builds expire, and Ginu cannot extend that.
These terms grant a personal, non-transferable, revocable right to install and run Ginu on machines you control. You may not redistribute it, remove notices or reverse engineer it except where applicable law permits.
Your CLI, model access and credentials remain yours and are governed by their providers' terms. You are responsible for the permissions you give those tools and for reviewing work before relying on it.
If you install Ginu on a device you do not own, or one your employer or another organisation manages, such as a company laptop, getting whatever permission that employer or owner requires, and following their policies, is your responsibility. Ginu is not responsible for that decision or its consequences.
4. Commercial use
Commercial use means using Ginu to build or maintain software that is sold, licensed for a fee or used in the course of a business, or to provide paid services. Anything else is non-commercial. In particular, these are non-commercial:
- Learning and self-education.
- Contributing to open-source projects, whether or not you are paid elsewhere.
- Hobby projects.
- Making content about Ginu or with it, including paid courses and videos.
Ginu is free. No charge is made, and commercial use is permitted.
5. The beta
Ginu is beta software, open to anyone. It may break, change or be withdrawn, and features may be added or removed. Keep backups and inspect AI-generated work before accepting it. The beta does not oblige Ginu to keep any feature, during the beta or after it, except for your rights under applicable law.
6. Support
Ginu is not obliged to give support, fix bugs, ship updates or maintain any level of service. Any support offered is best-effort and can change or stop at any time.
7. Your data and licence compliance
Using Ginu free of charge is not conditional on data collection you cannot switch off. Licence compliance is not checked by reading private files on your machine. The privacy notice explains local storage and connections to other services.
8. Signing in
Signing in is optional. Ginu works fully without it. If you choose to sign in, you do so through Google, Apple or GitHub, and the provider you choose confirms who you are; Ginu never sees or stores your password. Signing in links Ginu to that identity so a small number of features, such as receiving an emailed reply about something you reported, or recovering an account from another device, have somewhere to reach you.
You can add a second sign-in provider or a verified email to the same account, sign out, or delete your account at any time from Settings. Deleting your account removes the sign-in link and what it was used for; it does not touch the local data described in the privacy notice, which stays on your machine either way.
9. Acceptable use
Use Ginu lawfully. The phone relay is for connecting your own devices to your own machine. Do not attempt to access another person's session or interfere with the service.
10. Feedback
Feedback you choose to send may be used to improve Ginu without an obligation to you. Personal data in feedback is governed by the privacy notice. This clause does not transfer ownership of your projects or other work.
11. Warranty and liability
The beta is provided as is, with no warranty of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. To the same extent, Ginu is not liable for loss of data, loss of business, loss of profit or damage to your systems arising from your use of Ginu.
Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, your statutory rights relating to digital content, or anything that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other applicable law.
12. Stopping
You may stop using Ginu at any time by deleting it. Removing the app does not automatically remove its local data; the reference guide explains cleanup. Ginu may end the licence for breach, with notice through the channels available at the time and subject to applicable law.
13. Changes
A change will have a new version and effective date, recorded here and in release notes. Earlier versions remain available at their versioned URLs. The app's first-run agreement screen asks you to read and accept these terms before Ginu starts. When the terms change it shows the screen again, with a short plain-English summary of what changed.
14. Governing law, and where Ginu is offered
The governing law is England and Wales, without depriving a consumer of protections that apply under the law of their own country.
Ginu is run from the United Kingdom, and anyone may download it. If the law where you live restricts what you may install or use, following it is your responsibility.
Version history
- Version 2 · 2026-10-10 · Current
Ginu is open to everyone now, with no invite code, so the closed-beta wording is gone. The terms say who runs Ginu, where it is offered and that you must be 18 or over, and they describe the public install. - Version 1 · 2026-10-03 · Superseded by version 2
First effective version of the terms, accepted 2026-10-03. Includes a signing-in clause for Google/Apple/GitHub sign-in and a clause on the role of Ginu, with its sections renumbered.
