Terms of Service & License Terms
Last Updated: August 3, 2026 • BerryDB Desktop Software Version 1.0.0
1. Software License Grant
By downloading, installing, or executing BerryDB Desktop ("the Software"), you agree to be bound by the terms of this End User License Agreement ("EULA"). Notex grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use BerryDB Desktop on supported macOS hardware in accordance with your subscription tier or active free trial.
2. 14-Day Free AI Trial & Pay-As-You-Go AI Credits
- 14-Day Free AI Trial: New users are eligible for a 14-day AI trial containing 1,000,000 free tokens upon email activation. Trial status is bound cryptographically to your Mac hardware device signature (device hash).
- AI Credit Top-Ups: Additional AI Assistant tokens are purchased as Pay-As-You-Go credits ($2, $5, $10, $20 top-ups via Paddle checkout). Credits never expire and are consumed strictly per token used.
- Free Local AI Option: You may also use Apple Intelligence on-device local models for $0 without purchasing AI credits.
3. Local-First Architecture & Data Sovereignty
BerryDB Desktop operates as a local-first application. All database credentials, connection profiles, SSH private keys, query histories, saved scripts, and workspace configurations are stored locally on your macOS device inside macOS Keychain and local SQLite stores. BerryDB servers do not collect, transmit, store, or inspect your connected database contents or executed queries.
4. User Responsibilities & Production Guardrails
You are solely responsible for all database queries, DML modifications (UPDATE, DELETE), DDL structural changes (DROP TABLE, ALTER TABLE), and data grid edits executed through BerryDB Desktop. While BerryDB provides Production Environment safety warnings, you remain fully accountable for verifying statements before execution.
5. AI Assistant & Tool Execution Disclaimer
The integrated AI Assistant utilizes large language models (LLMs) to generate SQL queries, explain execution plans, and assist with schema tasks. SQL queries generated by the AI Assistant are recommendations only. Tools that modify or execute queries (run_sql, run_tab_statements) require explicit user approval before execution against your database server.
6. Free Desktop Client Capabilities
BerryDB Desktop core database client capabilities are 100% free forever. You retain permanent access to connection profiles, multi-engine drivers (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Qdrant), SQL editors, streaming data grids, and SSH tunneling without any subscription fees or time limits.
7. Limitation of Liability & Support
BerryDB Desktop is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind. In no event shall Notex or its developers be liable for data loss, server downtime, or incidental damages arising from database management activities.
