Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern use of the website blxade.dev, participation in the early-access waitlist, and the purchase and use of the software BLXAde (the “Software”), offered by:

1. Scope

(1) These Terms apply to consumers and businesses unless expressly stated otherwise. Conflicting customer terms do not apply unless we expressly agree to them in writing.

(2) The website is for product information and collecting early-access requests. Binding licence terms for purchased builds may also be set out in a separate licence agreement (EULA/licence certificate); in case of conflict, specific licence terms prevail over these Terms to the extent permitted by law.

2. Description of services

(1) BLXAde is a local-first desktop workspace for Windows, macOS, and Linux on a canvas foundation for agents, terminals, and previews. Features and system requirements follow the product description on the website and the respective build version.

(2) Features, pricing, and early-access availability may change. Website statements are non-binding unless expressly marked as binding.

(3) Connecting external services (e.g. AI APIs, OpenRouter, browser previews) may require your own accounts, API keys, and costs. Those services are not part of our deliverable unless we expressly state otherwise.

3. Early access / waitlist

(1) Joining the waitlist does not create a right to admission, delivery, or a specific price. Seats are opened in waves.

(2) By signing up you agree that we store your email address and contact you about early access and product updates (see the Privacy Policy).

(3) We may reject, limit, or delete signups (e.g. abuse, spam, or technical limits).

4. Contract formation and pricing

(1) Price displays on the website (e.g. founder pricing) are not a binding offer, but an invitation to order once checkout is enabled.

(2) A contract is formed only when we accept the order (e.g. by confirmation email, unlock of download access, or receipt of payment in the enabled checkout).

(3) Prices are shown in the indicated currency and — depending on the listing — including or excluding statutory VAT. Net prices may apply for business customers where stated.

(4) Where “pay once / own forever” is advertised, this refers to the unlocked major line (e.g. 1.x updates as described in the product copy), not unlimited major upgrades, third-party cloud services, or support SLAs, unless expressly promised.

5. Licence and usage rights

(1) Upon purchase of a licence you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable (unless otherwise agreed), perpetual right to use the Software on the unlocked devices/platforms within the agreed scope.

(2) Without our prior consent you must not, in particular:

• resell, rent, or sublicense the Software
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble beyond what mandatory law allows
• remove copyright or proprietary notices
• use the Software to build a competing product in violation of our rights

(3) Third-party open-source components (e.g. Excalidraw foundations and other libraries) remain subject to their respective open-source licences.

6. Customer obligations

(1) You must ensure that the data you provide (especially email) is accurate and that you retain access to it.

(2) You are responsible for keeping licence keys, API keys, and credentials secure, and for lawful use of content and third-party APIs you connect inside the Software.

(3) The Software must not be used for unlawful purposes.

7. Right of withdrawal for consumers

Right of withdrawal: Consumers generally have a statutory right of withdrawal for distance contracts, unless legal exceptions apply.

Special rule for digital content / software: The right of withdrawal expires for a contract for the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium if we have begun performance after you have expressly consented to performance beginning before the withdrawal period ends, and you have acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal (see § 356(5) German Civil Code (BGB)).

The full withdrawal notice and model withdrawal form will be provided in the enabled checkout flow or on request at [email protected].

8. Warranty

(1) Statutory warranty rights apply. For business customers, claims for defects are time-barred one year after delivery/provision to the extent permitted by law.

(2) Early-access and pre-release builds may be incomplete and may contain defects. Where we provide Software free of charge or expressly as beta/preview, warranty and liability are limited to the extent permitted by law.

9. Liability

(1) We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body, or health, under the Product Liability Act, and within the scope of any guarantee we have given.

(2) In case of slightly negligent breach of essential contractual duties (cardinal duties), liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage.

(3) Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded.

(4) The above limitations also benefit our vicarious agents.

10. Website availability

We aim for high website availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, outages, and force majeure may temporarily limit access.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms for legal, technical, or business reasons. For contracts already formed, the Terms in force at formation apply unless a valid change agreement is made. The current version is available at this URL.

12. Final provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where a consumer has their habitual residence remain unaffected.

(2) If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is Leipzig.

(3) If any provision is invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
