Terms of Service

Openly by North Tumbleweed LLC · Last updated April 25, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Openly (“the Service”) on iOS, you (“you”, “user”) agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use Openly.

Openly is published by North Tumbleweed LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”). These Terms apply to the iOS app and all updates, new features, and functionality we add to it.

2. The Service

Openly is an AI chat client for iOS that routes your messages to a curated set of frontier open-source language models. Today the lineup includes DeepSeek V4 (default), DeepSeek V4 Pro, Kimi K2.6, Qwen 3.6, and GLM 5.1.

Your messages are sent to a Cloudflare Worker proxy that we operate, which forwards the request to the upstream model provider. We do not log the content of your prompts, the content of model replies, or your IP address. We use a per-device anonymous identifier solely to enforce monthly fair-use caps tied to your subscription tier (see Privacy Policy).

Openly is a general-purpose AI chat client. It is not a substitute for professional advice. Do not rely on Openly for medical, legal, financial, or other consequential decisions.

3. Eligibility

Openly is intended for users aged 13 and older. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 13 years of age. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

4. Subscriptions and Billing

4.1 Tiers

Openly offers two auto-renewing subscription tiers, both billed monthly through Apple’s App Store via StoreKit:

Openly — $9.99 / month. Includes a monthly fair-use cap covering typical daily use across all five models.
Openly Plus — $29.99 / month. Includes a substantially larger monthly fair-use cap for power users.

Current pricing is shown in the app at the moment of purchase. Apple’s receipt and your local currency conversion are authoritative if they differ from the figures above.

4.2 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each monthly billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
You can turn off auto-renewal at any time in your iOS subscription settings, but cancellation must be completed at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid the next charge.

4.3 Cancellation and Refunds

How to cancel: open iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Openly → Cancel Subscription. You can also reach the same screen from inside Openly at Settings → Manage Subscription.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access to paid features until then.
Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple. To request one, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.

4.4 Fair-Use Caps

Each tier includes a monthly fair-use cap, enforced server-side against your per-device anonymous identifier. We do not throttle or degrade the experience under the cap. When you reach the cap, the app shows you a clear message and your usage resets at the start of the next monthly period. The exact cap figure is shown in the app under Settings → Usage.

4.5 Price Changes

We may change subscription prices. Price changes take effect at the start of the next billing period after notice. Where applicable, Apple will notify you of price changes and may require your consent before renewing.

5. AI-Generated Content

Openly forwards your messages to third-party open-source language models. Read this section carefully before relying on any model output.

5.1 No Guarantee of Accuracy

AI-generated responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, or otherwise inappropriate, despite our best efforts. Models can produce content that sounds confident but is factually wrong. Always verify important information independently.

5.2 Not Professional Advice

AI responses do not constitute professional advice of any kind, including medical, legal, financial, tax, or psychological advice. Do not rely on AI-generated content for decisions that affect your health, safety, finances, or legal standing.

Openly is an AI chat client, not a licensed professional. Never use AI-generated responses as a substitute for consultation with qualified professionals. If you have a medical emergency, contact emergency services immediately.

5.3 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for how you use AI-generated content. We are not liable for any actions you take based on AI responses, including advice, code, analysis, or other outputs produced through Openly.

5.4 Ownership of Output

You may use AI-generated responses for personal and commercial purposes. We do not claim ownership over outputs generated in response to your prompts. The underlying models, weights, and infrastructure remain the property of their respective owners.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use Openly to:

Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right.
Generate, submit, or distribute illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable content.
Generate content that exploits, harms, or endangers minors.
Generate spam, phishing content, malware, or deceptive material.
Generate content intended to mislead others into believing it was written by a human when disclosure is required or expected.
Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service.
Circumvent, disable, or interfere with safety filtering or fair-use enforcement.
Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to interact with the Service.
Resell, redistribute, or sublicense access to Openly.
Attempt to extract, replicate, or reverse-engineer the underlying models or their training data.

Violation may result in immediate termination of your access without refund.

7. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in Openly — code, design, graphics, icons, logos, names, and trademarks — are owned by North Tumbleweed LLC or our licensors.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Openly for personal purposes.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service.
You may not use our trademarks, logos, or brand names without prior written consent.

The names of the underlying models (DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, GLM) are trademarks of their respective owners. Their inclusion is descriptive and does not imply endorsement.

8. Your Content

You retain ownership of all content you create or provide through Openly, including the messages you type. Openly does not store the content of your prompts or the content of model replies on our servers; conversations live locally on your device. The Cloudflare Worker proxy forwards each request to the upstream model and returns the response — no copy is retained.

You represent that you have the right to use any content you submit, and that it does not infringe on any third party’s intellectual property or other rights.

9. Disclaimers

OPENLY IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to:

Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses.
Warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any AI-generated content.
Warranties regarding availability or speed of model responses.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NORTH TUMBLEWEED LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, including:

Loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses.
Damages resulting from AI-generated content, advice, code, or analysis.
Damages resulting from decisions made based on AI responses.
Service interruptions, downtime, or performance issues.
Unauthorized access to or alteration of your data.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising from your use of Openly shall not exceed the amount you paid us in subscription fees during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or fifty dollars (USD $50), whichever is greater.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless North Tumbleweed LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, or damage, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party arising from your use of Openly, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.

12. Termination

You may stop using Openly at any time by cancelling your subscription and uninstalling the app. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, with or without notice. On termination, the license granted to you ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) survive.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, except where prohibited by applicable consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we update the “Last updated” date at the top. Continued use of Openly after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you in-app or by email.
