Terms of Service

Alarmist

Architecture: Alarmist operates with no Folding Sky backend. All LiDAR motion detection processing happens entirely on your device. We do not create or manage user accounts.

Permissions: Requires camera/LiDAR access for motion detection. You control whether captured photos are saved to your Photos library.

iCloud Sync: Alarmist can sync detection history (event timestamps, detection metrics, and captured photos) across your devices via CloudKit using your personal iCloud account. This sync is enabled by default and can be disabled in the product's settings. iCloud sync is subject to Apple's iCloud Terms of Service. Folding Sky does not have access to data stored in your iCloud account. You are responsible for managing your iCloud storage and settings.

Third-Party Services: All LiDAR motion detection processing uses native iOS capabilities. Alarmist does not use AI services.

Ad Conversion Tracking: Alarmist integrates third-party SDKs from Google and TikTok to measure advertising campaign effectiveness. By using Alarmist, you acknowledge that device identifiers and purchase events may be shared with these providers for ad attribution. You can decline the App Tracking Transparency prompt to prevent access to your device's advertising identifier. See our Privacy Policy (https://folding-sky.com/privacy (opens in new tab)) for full details on what data is collected and shared.

Silent Detection and Photo Capture: Sound, flashlight, and photo capture are separate settings. Alarmist can detect motion and log events with the sound and flashlight off, and can still capture photos if photo capture is enabled. Photos taken without the flashlight need ambient light. Alarmist captures still photos, not audio or video.

Lawful Use and Respect for Privacy: Alarmist is intended for lawful personal security, such as monitoring an entrance for intrusion. You must not use it for unlawful surveillance, stalking, harassment, voyeurism, or any use that violates another person's privacy rights. These restrictions apply to every configuration, including silent detection, photo capture, and motion logging without photos.

By using Alarmist, you agree to:

• Monitor only areas you have the legal right to monitor. Owning, renting, occupying, or controlling a property does not by itself give you permission to monitor or photograph everyone in it.
• Comply with applicable privacy, surveillance, photography, and data protection laws wherever you use the product. Provide any required notices and obtain any required consent before monitoring or capturing photos. A device's camera permission does not supply another person's consent.
• Respect other people's reasonable expectations of privacy. Do not secretly monitor or photograph people in bathrooms, changing areas, bedrooms, or other private spaces in violation of those expectations. Position the device so both the monitored area and the camera's view stay within the area you are lawfully entitled to monitor.
• Store, use, and share detection history and photos only as permitted by law and without violating anyone's privacy rights. Lawful capture does not automatically authorize sharing or publication.

These obligations apply even when the sound or flashlight is off and when data stays on your device or in your personal iCloud account. Alarmist cannot determine whether your intended use is lawful. If you are unsure, consult a qualified attorney in the jurisdiction where you plan to use it before monitoring begins. Folding Sky does not provide legal advice or authorize unlawful use.

Not a Security System: Alarmist is a convenience tool, not a security device. It cannot guarantee detection of all motion, prevent intrusion, or protect you from harm. Technology can fail. LiDAR sensors have limitations. Environmental conditions affect detection reliability. This product is provided as-is for informational awareness only.

No Guarantee of Protection: Alarmist should never be your sole means of protection. Do not rely on it for personal safety or as a substitute for proper security measures. Test thoroughly in your specific environment and understand its limitations before use.

Busybody

Architecture: Busybody operates with no Folding Sky backend. Website screenshots are captured and stored locally on your device. We do not create or manage user accounts.

Permissions: No special device permissions required. Screenshots are captured using a standard embedded web browser.

Third-Party Services: Busybody does not use any AI services. However, it accesses third-party websites that you specify.

Website Access: Busybody captures screenshots from websites you specify using an embedded web browser, including automatic captures performed by its widgets. The Website Access and Automated Actions section below applies to your use of Busybody.

Optional Website Sessions: You can choose to save reusable cookies from compatible websites for signed-in captures on that device. Busybody does not guarantee that a website, sign-in method, or saved session will work or remain available. Websites can block embedded browsers, require storage that Busybody does not reuse, expire sessions, or require additional verification. Clear Session stops using the saved cookies for future captures, but does not revoke access at the website or remove existing captures. See the Privacy Policy (https://folding-sky.com/privacy (opens in new tab)) for session storage and deletion details.

Private Content in Captures: Screenshots and captured HTML can contain personal or confidential account information. That content can remain in history after a session expires or is cleared, and screenshots can be visible in widgets to anyone who can see your screen. Choose monitored pages and widget placement accordingly. Protect access to your device and delete the monitored site when you want to remove its saved session and capture history.

Cumbersome and Endemic

Cumbersome and Endemic are Folding Sky's AI-powered products. They share underlying technology but serve different purposes and connect to AI in different ways. Neither product has a Folding Sky backend for AI processing. We do not create or manage user accounts for either product. See the Artificial Intelligence Disclosure section below for important information about AI-generated content.

Cumbersome (Cloud AI Client): Cumbersome's core chat function connects your device directly to a third-party AI provider (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI Studio, OpenRouter, Z.ai, Vercel AI Gateway, or another provider you choose). You must provide your own API keys or other authentication values. By using Cumbersome, you acknowledge and explicitly consent to Cumbersome sending the content needed for the features you use to your selected provider. This can include prompts, messages, conversation context, attachments you send, and tool results drawn from content you make available to the product. Folding Sky does not collect, store, or have access to the content you send to AI providers. You are responsible for securing every credential you configure. Disabling optional tools does not stop these core provider requests.

Built-In Instructions and Tools (Cumbersome only): To provide Cumbersome's current and future features, the product may include built-in prompts, system instructions, tool or function definitions, attachment framing, and related request data in communications with the AI provider you select. Examples include instructions used to generate conversation titles, compare responses, draft a Ghost/Write message, compact conversation history, ask structured clarification questions, or let a model use enabled tools. These additions may affect model behavior, token usage, and provider charges. We use them only to perform the product's stated functionality and keep them as focused as practical. Some are part of default features, while others apply only when you enable or explicitly invoke a feature. See Cumbersome Data, API Keys, and Prompt Transparency (https://folding-sky.com/cumbersome/transparency (opens in new tab)) for more information and examples. That page is explanatory and may not contain a complete or current inventory of every feature or request.

Camera Attachments (Cumbersome only): If you capture a photo inside Cumbersome, you are responsible for having the right to capture and share it. The photo becomes User Content and is sent to the selected AI provider if you send the message containing it. Do not capture or submit images in violation of another person's privacy, intellectual property, or other rights.

Question Cards (Cumbersome only): The selected model can call this tool to ask structured questions before answering. Cumbersome returns your answers, or your decision to skip, to the provider as the tool result. The result may be stored with the conversation. The questions and suggested choices are AI Content, so review them before responding. Tool instructions say not to request secrets or use the cards to confirm an external action, but instructions cannot guarantee appropriate behavior. Do not enter credentials or other secrets into a Question Card, and do not treat a card as authorization for a separate action.

Browser Tools (Cumbersome and Endemic): Cumbersome and Endemic provide Local Web Search, which sends an AI-generated query to a search engine and returns result links and snippets; Local Web Browser, which loads one page, can run AI-generated JavaScript once, extracts readable content, and then discards that page; and Web Agent, a visible browser that keeps page and navigation state for multi-step work and can operate on sites you sign into. Availability, settings, and initial defaults vary by operating system and product version and can change over time. When a browser tool is used, the selected model may propose searches, navigation, page inspection, JavaScript, form interaction, and other browser steps for the product to execute from your device. Cumbersome may return browser tool results to the AI provider you selected. Endemic processes browser tool results with the local model running on your device, but search engines and websites still receive requests directly from your device. A webpage can contain text or code that influences the model's later actions, including content designed to mislead an AI system. In unusual or unintended cases, an AI-generated browser action could include information from your prompt, conversation, or a page in a request to a third-party website or service. The products instruct models not to inspect password, payment, passkey, or authentication fields, but instructions and model safeguards cannot guarantee that sensitive information will never be accessed or transmitted. The visible browser lets you observe and intervene, but it does not eliminate this risk. You are responsible for supervising browser activity and deciding which sites and accounts to use. The Website Access and Automated Actions section below applies whenever you use these tools. Avoid AI-assisted browsing with highly sensitive accounts or information unless you accept these risks.

Tool Availability and Controls: Some optional tools may be enabled by default, and an enabled tool may be invoked by the model during a chat. Other tools require you to configure or enable them. Cumbersome may offer Provider Web Search, which runs on the selected AI provider's systems when enabled. Review and change available tools in Settings > Tools. Defaults, saved choices, and availability may differ by product version and device. These settings govern only the features the product exposes or requests. They do not stop Cumbersome's core requests to your chosen AI provider or Endemic's on-device model inference, govern every tool a provider may run on its own systems, or retract information already sent to an external service.

Remote MCP Servers (Cumbersome and Endemic): Both products may let you configure remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers or similar tool services. You can add a server, choose its available tools, and disable or remove it in Settings > Tools. When you enable and invoke a remote tool, the product sends tool requests and arguments directly to the server you configured. Those arguments may include information from your prompt, conversation, attachments, or model-generated content when needed for the requested tool. Server results may be added to your conversation and, in Cumbersome, returned to your selected AI provider as tool results. You are responsible for choosing and securing each server, understanding its terms and privacy practices, and reviewing what you send. Folding Sky does not operate or control a user-configured server unless we specifically identify it as a Folding Sky service.

Endemic (On-Device Local LLM): Endemic's core chat function runs large language model inference on your device using downloaded model weights (GGUF format). Ordinary chat does not send prompts to an external AI provider. Network access is required to download models from the catalog; inference does not require network access after models are downloaded. Optional web and remote tools can contact external services as described above. Model weights are downloaded from third-party publishers and hosts. You are responsible for complying with any license or terms that apply to those model files. Folding Sky does not host model files and does not control third-party hosts.

Provider Relationship: For Cumbersome, AI processing and outputs are provided by the third-party AI provider you select and are governed by that provider's terms and policies. Cumbersome functions as a client interface that sends your requests using your API key. For Endemic, AI output is produced by local models on your device using weights from third-party publishers. In both cases, Folding Sky does not provide, train, host, or control the underlying AI model.

Provider-Side Tools (Cumbersome): A provider or gateway may run web search, page retrieval, code execution, or other tools on its own systems and may involve websites or other services. The provider controls those operations, which may not be visible or configurable in Cumbersome. Turning off a product tool does not guarantee that a provider will not use a similar capability independently, or that it will interpret a request as you expect. Providers may change their tools, data practices, terms, and privacy policies without a change to Cumbersome. You are solely responsible for choosing a provider, reviewing its current terms and privacy practices, and deciding what content to send. Folding Sky does not control or guarantee provider-side tool behavior.

Provider Access Restrictions (Cumbersome only): You may use a provider through Cumbersome only if that provider permits access from your current country or territory. Your provider account must also be authorized for that access. Cumbersome's technical ability to connect does not grant permission to use the provider. You must not use Cumbersome with a VPN, proxy, location spoofing, or any other method to evade a provider's geographic, account, sanctions, export-control, or other access restrictions.

AI Content: AI Content generated through Cumbersome or Endemic is not created by Folding Sky. See the Artificial Intelligence Disclosure and Disclaimer of Warranties sections for important limitations on AI Content.

API Cost Monitoring (Cumbersome only): Cumbersome may provide estimates of API usage costs from third-party providers. These estimates are provided for informational purposes only and are not guaranteed to be accurate. Actual costs may vary based on provider pricing changes, token counting methodologies, model updates, or other factors. You are solely responsible for monitoring your actual API usage and costs directly with each provider.

Product Analytics: When enabled, Cumbersome and Endemic send limited technical and product-usage data, including pseudonymous identifiers, through Google's Firebase Analytics for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy (https://folding-sky.com/privacy (opens in new tab)). By downloading or using a product with this collection enabled, you acknowledge and agree to that collection and disclosure, subject to applicable law and any control offered in the product. Cumbersome offers Share Usage Analytics in Settings; turning it off stops new Cumbersome Firebase Analytics collection on that device. Some of our other products may offer a similar choice. A choice in one product does not control another product or data already sent.

iCloud Sync: Both products automatically sync data via your personal iCloud account when iCloud is enabled on your device. Each product uses a separate iCloud container. This sync is subject to Apple's iCloud Terms of Service. You are responsible for managing your iCloud storage and settings. Folding Sky does not have access to data stored in your iCloud account.

Dense

Architecture: Dense uses a Folding Sky backend to query Gemini with search grounding and generate news digests. We do not create or manage user accounts.

Permissions: Requires network access for digest updates.

AI-Generated Digests: Dense displays a rolling micro digest per topic, generated by Gemini with search grounding. Folding Sky operates backend services to process these queries.

AI Content Disclaimer: Digests and summaries in Dense are generated by Google's Gemini AI. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of this content. AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or reflect biases in the underlying data. Dense is designed for quick scanning and is not a primary source. Always verify important information from primary sources.

Fees

Some Services offer one-time in-app purchases or subscriptions through the Apple App Store. We may introduce fees for a Service or feature that was previously available at no charge, change prices, or move features between free and paid tiers. The applicable storefront will show the price and purchase terms before you authorize a charge.

Subscriptions

App Store subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each subscription period until you cancel them through your App Store subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period unless Apple states otherwise. Deleting a product does not cancel its subscription.

Subscriptions provide access to the paid features described in each product while access is active. The App Store shows the current price and billing period before you buy. Any charges from an AI provider you connect to through Cumbersome are separate from your subscription.

Payment Processing and Refunds

Apple processes current in-app purchases, billing, cancellations, and refund requests under its own terms. Folding Sky does not receive your full payment-card details. Our products receive StoreKit transaction and entitlement information needed to provide or restore purchased access. If we introduce another payment method, we will identify the processor and applicable terms before purchase. Refunds are subject to the applicable storefront's rules and any rights that cannot be waived under law.

Taxes

Taxes are handled as disclosed by the applicable storefront or payment processor. You remain responsible for taxes that law requires you to pay directly.

Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict of law provisions, except to the extent non-waivable law applies.

Informal Resolution First

Before either party starts arbitration, that party must send written notice of the dispute and requested relief to the other party and attempt to resolve the matter informally for at least 30 days. You can send notice to us at tabla.kicker.2g@icloud.com. We will send notice to you using any contact information you have provided to us. If the dispute is not resolved after the 30-day period, either party may proceed as allowed under these Terms.

Small Claims Option

Either party may bring an individual dispute in small claims court instead of arbitration, so long as the matter remains individual and qualifies for small claims court jurisdiction.

Arbitration Opt-Out (30 Days)

You may opt out of the Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section by emailing tabla.kicker.2g@icloud.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Your opt-out email must include your full name, the product name, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration does not affect the rest of these Terms.

If we make a material change to the arbitration or class action waiver terms in the future, you may opt out of the revised terms within 30 days after the updated Terms become effective. Re-accepting unchanged arbitration terms does not create a new opt-out window.

Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules. Proceedings must be brought on an individual basis only, not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. You and Folding Sky Co. waive any right to a jury trial.

The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all threshold issues of arbitrability and enforceability, including disputes about the formation, existence, scope, validity, interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms or this arbitration provision, except to the extent applicable law requires a court to decide a particular issue.

Class or representative proceedings are not allowed in any forum. The arbitrator has no authority to consolidate claims or preside over class, collective, private attorney general, or representative matters. If a dispute is heard in court rather than arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives a jury trial. Nothing in this section prevents either party from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

If a court determines that all or part of the class action waiver in this section is unenforceable for a specific claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief must be resolved in court and not in arbitration, and only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Judicial Forum if Arbitration Is Unavailable

If arbitration cannot be compelled or is held unavailable for a claim, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, that claim must be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Washoe County, Nevada, or in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, and each party irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

Prevailing Party Fees

In arbitration, the prevailing party may recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs where permitted by law.

Time Limitation on Claims

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Claims filed after this period are permanently barred. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in arbitration or court.

Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. Non-material updates may become effective when posted. Material updates will be reflected in the Last updated date and, where reasonable, by additional notice using one or more of the methods described in the Communications section.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, if you receive reasonably conspicuous notice of updated Terms and continue to access or use the affected Service after the update takes effect, you agree to the revised Terms.

If we make a material change to the Governing Law and Disputes section, we may require additional assent for the updated terms, such as an acknowledgment within the product or click-through acceptance, before continued use of the affected Service. If we request such assent, the revised dispute terms will become effective only when you provide it, except to the extent applicable law permits another method of acceptance.

Entire Agreement

These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Folding Sky Co. regarding the Services.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted to the maximum extent enforceable under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

If any portion of the Governing Law and Disputes section is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be severed and the remainder of that section will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Non-Waivable Rights

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights, remedies, or protections that cannot be waived or limited under applicable law.

No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations at any time.

Sanctions and Export Compliance

You represent that you are not on any U.S. government sanctions or denied-party lists and that you will not use the Services in violation of export, re-export, or sanctions laws. The Services may be subject to U.S. and other export control laws; you agree to comply with them.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as expressly provided in the Apple App Store Terms section below, these Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
