Service Agreement

Terms Of Service

These terms cover the optional Alera account and cloud notification service. The local open-source application remains governed by its repository license.

Effective August 1, 2026

Using The Service

You may use Alera's account and notification service if you can legally agree to these terms. You are responsible for activity from your signed-in runtimes and mobile devices and for removing access from devices you no longer control.

Local App And Cloud Service

Alera's desktop and mobile applications are local-first. An account is optional and is required only for shared cloud features such as mobile push delivery. Source code and license terms are available in the Alera Repository. These terms do not replace the open-source license for code you run locally.

Acceptable Use

Do not use the service to attack, probe, overload, disrupt, or bypass limits on Alera or its providers. Do not attempt to send notifications to devices you do not control, impersonate another person, automate disposable accounts to evade quotas, or use the service in violation of applicable law.

Service Limits

The public service may enforce per-account, per-session, per-device, and global limits. Current default notification limits are documented in the cloud operations guide and may change to protect availability. Repeated attempts to evade a limit can result in suspension.

Your Content And Notifications

You retain rights to your projects and workspace names. If you enable detailed push notifications, you instruct Alera to send the selected status, project name, and workspace name through Firebase Cloud Messaging to your registered device. Prompts and terminal contents are not included in push payloads.

Availability

The service is a public beta provided on a best-effort basis without a service-level agreement. Features may change, pause, or be discontinued. We will try to avoid unnecessary disruption, but notification delivery is not guaranteed and must not be used for emergency, safety-critical, or time-critical workflows.

Suspension And Termination

You may stop using the service or delete your account at any time. We may restrict or suspend access to protect users, providers, or the service; respond to unlawful activity; or enforce these terms. Where practical, we will provide a reason and a path to contact us.

Disclaimers And Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the cloud service is provided as available and without warranties of uninterrupted operation, fitness for a particular purpose, or error-free delivery. Alera is not liable for lost work, missed notifications, provider outages, or indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the beta service. Rights that cannot legally be waived remain unaffected.

Changes

We may update these terms as the service evolves. Material changes will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated terms where permitted by law.
