Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

You accept these Terms of Service ("Terms") by checking the agreement box during checkout on dryx.ai, or by clicking “Agree & Activate” (or importing a license file) in the Dryx app ("the App"). If you obtain or use the App by any other means, downloading, installing, or using it also constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Dryx AI, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Dryx," "we," "us," or "our"). The App is operated by Dryx AI, Inc.; founder and inventor of record is Matthew Jackson.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Section 10 governs how changes take effect; we will notify users of material changes through the App or via our website.

2. Description of Service

Dryx is a macOS desktop application that inspects AI agent configurations on your local machine and maps their configuration exposure. The App detects installed AI agents (such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI, Cline, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini, and any MCP-capable agent), analyzes their configuration files, and produces an informational report about secrets, permissions, supply chain dependencies, external service connections, and behavioral patterns.

Dryx's flagship capability is the AI Security Triad — a patent-pending architecture in which three independent parties (the user, the deterministic security tool, and the user's AI agent itself) reach consensus before agent actions with security impact occur on the workspace.

Key characteristics of the service:

• Local and offline-first. Inspection and analysis run locally on your Mac. Dryx does not transmit your inspection data, secrets metadata, or behavioral telemetry to any Dryx-controlled server. A small set of explicitly-disclosed network requests exist (software update checks, optional MCP Registry verification, user-initiated Skill Shield package fetches, user-configured webhook output, license activation and verification for direct downloads). See the Privacy Policy for the complete list.
• Deterministic analysis. Dryx uses rule-based static analysis, not AI or machine learning. Results are reproducible given the same inputs. There is no LLM in the security-analysis path.
• Informational only. Inspection results are informational reports, not professional security audits, certifications, or guarantees. See Section 7 for full warranty disclaimers.
• No user accounts. The App does not require account creation. Licensing for paid plans is handled via license keys issued at purchase (direct download); the Mac App Store version is free and involves no purchases.
• Optional features that write to your files. Some advanced features — Context Shield, Quick Fix actions, Ghost Agent cleanup — require user opt-in and write to files on your machine. These features are off by default and reversible. See the Privacy Policy, Section 5.
• Patent-pending mechanisms. Dryx's core security mechanisms are patent-pending across seven United States provisional filings (April 16, 2026 priority date) — part of eleven total filings; see dryx.ai/patents.

3. Subscriptions & Pricing

3.1 Mac App Store Version (free)

The Mac App Store version of Dryx is free. It provides read-only inspection — the blast-radius graph, A–F posture score, findings, and Skill Shield analyses. It does not include the Authority Anchor MCP, Context Shield, or Action Guard (Observe or Enforce), and it has no paid subscriptions or in-app purchases.

The paid plans (Pro, Team), the Founding Member Lifetime, and the full enforcement experience are available only via direct download from dryx.ai (see Section 3.2). Apple's App Store guidelines (Guideline 2.5.2) do not permit an app to install or execute code that changes the behavior of other apps, which is intrinsic to those features — so they ship exclusively through the notarized direct download.

3.2 Direct Download Purchases (dryx.ai)

Purchases made through dryx.ai are processed by our merchant of record, Paddle (paddle.com). Your contract of sale — payment, invoicing, and applicable tax — is with Paddle, and Paddle’s checkout terms apply to the transaction; your license is granted by Dryx AI, Inc. under these Terms. For direct download purchases:

• You receive a license key that activates the App on your machine.
• Subscription billing is managed by Paddle. You can cancel at any time through your customer portal link or by emailing [email protected].
• Refund requests for direct purchases should be sent to [email protected] within 14 days of purchase. We offer full refunds within this period, no questions asked. Refunds are processed by Paddle to your original payment method. This policy is in addition to — not instead of — any statutory refund or withdrawal rights you have.

3.3 Pricing

Current pricing (subject to change with notice):

Prices are in US dollars. Tax may apply depending on your jurisdiction. We may change listed pricing for new purchases at any time. Team and Enterprise subscription pricing may change with 30 days' notice; changes take effect no earlier than the next renewal period after the notice. Active Pro subscriptions are never repriced upward — see Section 3.4 (Pro Pricing Promise).

3.4 Pro Pricing Promise

Every Dryx Pro individual subscription carries the Pro Pricing Promise:

• Your rate never rises. A Pro subscription renews at the rate it started at, indefinitely, for as long as it remains active. We do not reprice active Pro subscriptions upward — not at renewal, not with notice, not ever. A subscription in payment-retry status remains active and covered until it ends. A paused subscription has not ended: it stays covered at its rate, and resuming continues the same subscription at the same price.
• A ceiling, not a floor. At any renewal you pay the lower of the rate your subscription started at and the then-current standard listed price for Pro. “Standard listed price” means the non-promotional price published on dryx.ai for new Pro subscriptions; time-limited promotions, coupons, and bundle pricing do not change your rate. If the standard listed price later rises again, your rate returns to the rate your subscription started at — never higher.
• Switching billing periods keeps the Promise. You may switch between monthly and annual billing at any time; your subscription carries the monthly and annual rates that were current when it started (for launch subscribers, $19/month or $149/year). If you move to a Team plan and later return to an individual Pro subscription, you return at your prior Pro rate.
• 90-day return window. If your subscription ends — because you cancel it, or because payment fails and retries are exhausted — you may resubscribe within ninety (90) days of the date it ended and keep your prior rate. A return within the window is a new subscription at your prior rate, with a new billing date starting when you return, and it carries the Pro Pricing Promise. The return window may be used once in any rolling twelve-month period. After the window closes, new subscriptions are at then-current listed pricing. Those two events are the only ones that open a return window: it does not apply to refunded purchases (a purchase refunded under Section 3.2 and bought again is a new purchase at listed pricing), to subscriptions ended by chargeback, or to subscriptions terminated by us under Section 11.
• Scope. The Promise covers the price of the Dryx Pro individual subscription only. It is a price commitment, not a feature snapshot: Pro’s feature set continues to evolve for all subscribers as described in Section 4.2. If Pro is renamed, or replaced or succeeded by a substantially equivalent individual plan, the Promise applies to that plan at your rate. Team and Enterprise pricing may change with notice as described in Section 3.3. Separate future products and separately priced tiers are not covered by the Promise and are priced independently — your Pro rate is unaffected either way. (The same fence applies to the Founding Member Lifetime — see Section 5.2.)
• Taxes and currency. The Promise attaches to Dryx’s listed US-dollar price. Taxes and VAT vary by jurisdiction, and currency conversion at checkout is handled by our payment processor; changes in either do not change your Dryx price but may change the checkout total you see.

Notwithstanding Section 10, this Section 3.4 may not be modified or revoked with respect to any subscription already covered by it, except in the subscriber’s favor. Clarifications that resolve an ambiguity in this Section are permitted where they do not raise any covered subscriber’s rate or shorten the return window.

4. Free Tier vs Pro vs Team

4.1 Free Tier

The Free tier is genuinely useful and available indefinitely (not a trial). It provides:

• The full blast-radius exposure graph across all seven risk layers, at the composite level
• Posture score with A–F grade
• Plain-language findings summaries (per-layer drill-down and step-by-step remediation are Pro)
• Unlimited Skill Shield pre-install analyses
• The Authority Anchor MCP — the local dryx-authority-anchor server your AI agents consult before acting (direct-download build)
• Action Guard in Observe mode — logs what would have been blocked, without blocking; the deterministic destructive-action floor still refuses the rm-rf class outright wherever the gate is armed (direct-download build)
• Integrations tab

On the Mac App Store, the Free version is read-only inspection only (graph, posture, findings, Skill Shield); the Authority Anchor MCP and Observe require the direct-download build. We may adjust Free tier features over time but will provide notice before removing functionality.

4.2 Pro

Pro (direct download only) is the complete individual feature set:

• Action Guard Enforce — the deterministic gate moves from Observe (logging would-be holds) to holding flagged agent actions at the harness hook, before they run. Enforce operates on agent harnesses that expose a supported hook seam; supported harnesses are listed in the App and expand over time. Enforce arms only on the direct-download (notarized) build; the Mac App Store version is read-only and provides neither Observe nor Enforce.
• Per-layer drill-down evidence panels across all seven risk layers (Secrets, Permissions, Supply Chain, Egress, Schedule, Prompt Injection, Cross-Agent) plus the composite overlay
• Step-by-step remediation guidance on every finding
• Workspace Drift detection and continuous Monitoring with source attribution
• Context Shield (agent security awareness via instruction-file directives)
• Behavioral baseline — a precomputed exposure input the policy compiles from (it covers more, it does not think more), feeding the risk layers and Drift detection
• Compliance exports (PDF, Markdown, JSON, CSV, CycloneDX AI BoM, Graph PNG)
• Webhook output to your SIEM/SOAR

The Authority Anchor MCP, unlimited Skill Shield, and Action Guard Observe are included in the Free tier (Section 4.1). Each Pro license activates on up to three (3) machines used by the licensed individual. A Pro subscription is for one named individual operator (personal use); teams and organizations use the Team or Enterprise plans.

4.3 Team

Team includes everything in Pro, plus:

• Fleet metadata fields (org_id, team_id, asset_criticality, environment) on findings and webhook payloads, for org-level correlation in your SIEM
• Priority support
• Feature tuning requests

Additional Team capabilities ship progressively and are added to active Team subscriptions at no extra charge. Team pricing is per seat; each seat represents one individual user.

5. Founding Member Lifetime

5.1 Three separate promises, stated separately

A perpetual license is a promise about how long your right to use the software lasts. It is not, by itself, a promise about updates — so we make the three promises separately, each with its own honest boundary:

• The license — never expires. Your right to install and use the Founding Feature Set is perpetual: it is not conditioned on any subscription, does not expire, and cannot be suspended or revoked except as provided in Section 5.10.
• Feature updates — two years. Every update we release to the individual feature set within two years of your purchase date is included and becomes part of your set permanently (Section 5.3).
• The floor — ongoing. After the update window, we keep the Founding Feature Set installing, activating, and running: security fixes and macOS-compatibility maintenance, with no end date except the end-of-life provisions in Section 5.9 (Section 5.4).

A perpetual license is not a warranty that every feature will function identically on every future macOS version or with every future third-party agent. Section 5.4 states exactly what we maintain, and Section 5.9 states exactly what happens if Dryx is ever discontinued. Founding is sold on ownership of this enumerated set and membership in a one-time cohort of at most 300 — it makes no statement, express or implied, about future subscription pricing (Pro pricing is governed separately by Section 3).

5.2 The Founding Feature Set — enumerated

Your license covers exactly this set, as constituted in the version available on your purchase date, plus everything that joins it under Section 5.3:

• The blast-radius exposure graph and A–F posture score
• All seven risk layers (Secrets, Permissions, Supply Chain, Egress, Schedule, Prompt Injection, Cross-Agent) with per-layer drill-down and step-by-step remediation
• Workspace Drift detection and continuous Monitoring with source attribution
• Context Shield
• Behavioral baseline
• Compliance exports (PDF, Markdown, JSON, CSV, CycloneDX AI BoM, Graph PNG) and webhook output
• Unlimited Skill Shield pre-install analyses
• The Authority Anchor MCP
• Action Guard — Observe and Enforce. Enforce operates on agent harnesses that expose a supported hook seam; the supported list is published in the App and may expand over time. Harness coverage added during your update window joins your set (Section 5.3); the coverage matrix published at your purchase is the baseline.

What is not included. Products or capability planes we introduce as separate, separately priced offerings — including, without limitation, a future deeper operating-system-level enforcement plane, and policy-authoring or fleet-management capabilities introduced as separate tiers — are not part of the Founding Feature Set or its update window. The test is objective: a capability is a separate offering only if it is not included in the base individual (Pro) subscription at no additional charge — anything that ships as part of the base individual feature set during your update window joins your set under Section 5.3. This is the same fence drawn in Section 3.4 for Pro subscriptions: separate future products are priced independently, on both sides of it. Team-tier features (Section 4.3) are likewise not included.

5.3 Feature updates — two years from purchase

• The clock. Your update window runs for twenty-four (24) months from your purchase date.
• What arrives. Every feature update we release to the individual (Pro) feature set during your window — including new agent-harness coverage — becomes part of your Founding Feature Set permanently. If the individual plan is renamed, or replaced or succeeded by a substantially equivalent individual plan, this Section applies to that plan’s feature set.
• When the window ends, nothing is taken away. You keep every feature you have. The window limits which new features arrive; it never removes anything you already own, and your license does not change, lapse, or expire when it closes. Features may be redesigned, consolidated, or renamed over time, provided materially equivalent capability remains in your set.
• The window does not renew. There is no paid extension built into this offer. If we ever offer an optional updates extension, it will be exactly that — optional, separately priced, published in advance, and never required to keep what you own secure and working (Section 5.4 covers that at no charge).

5.4 Security & compatibility floor — ongoing

• What the floor is. After your update window, we continue to provide the updates necessary to keep the Founding Feature Set installing, activating, and running on then-current macOS versions, including security fixes.
• What the floor is not. The floor is feature-frozen: it does not include new features, or support for agent harnesses first added to the product after your window. Where a third party materially changes or discontinues an agent harness your set already supports, we will maintain that coverage on a commercially reasonable basis — we cannot promise the conduct of third parties, and we won’t pretend to.
• No end date. The floor has no expiration date. It ends only under the end-of-life provisions in Section 5.9. The two-year window in Section 5.3 limits new features only — never security or compatibility updates.
• EU/UK consumers. If you are a consumer in the EU, EEA, or UK, these commitments are in addition to your statutory rights to updates and conformity (including under Directive (EU) 2019/770 as implemented in your country); nothing in this Section reduces those rights.

5.5 Availability — at most 300, opened once, then closed

• The cap is real. No more than 300 Founding Member licenses will ever be issued for the Dryx desktop application. The cohort opens once; when 300 licenses have been issued — or earlier, if we close the offer sooner — the offer is permanently retired. We will not offer additional Founding Member licenses later, under this or any other name.
• If a processing race oversells the cap. Checkout and license issuance are separate systems, so simultaneous orders could momentarily exceed 300. If that happens, orders received after the 300th are refunded in full and no license is issued. The cap wins.
• Refunded seats stay retired. If a Founding license is refunded or terminated, that seat is not resold. “At most 300, opened once, then closed” stays literally true in every branch — the cohort can only ever get smaller.
• Membership deliverables. Each Founding Member licensee receives a dated, EdDSA-signed Founding Member charter delivered to the purchase email address within fourteen (14) days of purchase, and a permanent in-app Founding badge. These are marks of membership, personal to you (Section 5.7), and independent of the license mechanics.

5.6 Activation — three Macs, no fees

• Three machines. Your license activates on up to three (3) Macs that you personally use and control.
• Moving Macs is free, always. You may deactivate a machine and activate a replacement at any time, at no charge. We will never charge transfer, reactivation, or per-machine fees. Reasonable anti-abuse safeguards that do not charge you or materially delay a legitimate move do not violate this promise.
• Air-gapped Macs. The documented “Import license file” path activates a machine without a network connection on that machine; it counts against the same three activations and remains a permanent activation path.

5.7 Single user, non-transferable — with the honest edges stated

• One named individual. The license is personal to the purchasing individual — the natural person who holds the purchase email address. It covers one user; it may not be shared, rented, sublicensed, or used as a substitute for Team seats.
• No resale or transfer — except where the law says otherwise. The license may not be sold, gifted, or transferred, except to the extent applicable law grants you a non-waivable right to transfer your copy (in parts of the EU/EEA it may). Any transfer made under such a right must be of the entire license, permanent, and to a single person; you must first deactivate all machines, cease all use, and destroy all copies in your possession; and the transferee takes the license subject to these Terms. We will provide reasonable assistance to complete a transfer required by applicable law. The license may never be split, shared, or partially transferred.
• Membership is personal. The Founding charter, in-app badge, and any Founders-ledger listing are marks of your membership. They do not transfer with the software under any circumstance.
• If a Founding Member dies. On written request with reasonable evidence, we will re-issue the license, one time and at no charge, to a family or household member of a deceased Founding Member. The market is silent on this; we’d rather say it in advance.

5.8 Refunds — 14 days, no questions asked

• The promise. If you want a refund within 14 days of purchase, you get one — full, no questions asked. Email [email protected] or use Paddle’s order support at paddle.net; refunds are processed by Paddle to your original payment method. After 14 days, the purchase is final, except as provided by law.
• Your statutory rights. This refund policy is in addition to — not instead of — any statutory rights you have, including any applicable right of withdrawal or local cooling-off period. Where you consent at checkout to immediate delivery of digital content, the statutory withdrawal right may end once delivery begins; our 14-day policy applies regardless.
• Effect of a refund. On refund, your license terminates and activation of new machines is disabled; you must cease use of the App’s paid features and delete license files in your possession. Your Founding seat is retired (Section 5.5), not resold.

5.9 Continuity & end of life — what happens if Dryx goes away

This is the clause most “lifetime” deals leave out. Here is how yours survives, in terms you can check:

• How activation works today. Your license is delivered as a cryptographically signed key that the App verifies locally on your Mac. Once a machine is activated, the App does not need to contact our servers to keep working: there is no remote kill switch, and your license does not expire. Our activation service is contacted only when you activate a new machine — and the App’s offline “Import license file” path (Section 5.6) already ships in every build, so honoring the commitment below requires only that files be issued, not that new software be written.
• End-of-Life Events. Each of the following is an End-of-Life Event: (a) we publicly announce permanent discontinuation of the Dryx desktop application; (b) our activation service is continuously unavailable for 90 days; (c) Dryx AI, Inc. is dissolved or enters insolvency proceedings without a successor assuming these Terms in writing; or (d) the application or its licensing infrastructure is sold or transferred without the transferee assuming these Terms in writing. Every trigger is observable from outside the company. If our activation service is restored after an outage and the commitment below has been met, ordinary update and floor obligations resume.
• The continuity commitment. Upon an End-of-Life Event — and before or at the closing of any transfer we make — we will, at no charge, do at least one of the following: (i) issue you perpetual offline license files that activate the then-current version on new machines without contacting our servers, up to your three-machine cap; or (ii) release a final version of the App that activates from the license you already hold, without contacting our servers. We will deliver the applicable files to your purchase email address (keep it current with us — email [email protected] with your license key to update it) and keep them available for download for at least 12 months after the event.
• The honest worst case. If we are ever unable to act at all — for example, an involuntary insolvency with no successor — the machines you have already activated, and any license files you already hold, keep working without us: local verification has no server dependency. The design goal of this Section is that the worst case never touches software you already run.
• What ends and what survives. Feature updates (if your window is still open) and the floor (Section 5.4) end 12 months after an End-of-Life Event. Your license, your activated machines, and the continuity files never do. Your license remains limited to one named user and three machines even where the final mechanism cannot technically enforce those limits.
• Successors and assigns. These Terms bind and benefit Dryx AI, Inc. and its successors and permitted assigns. We will not sell or transfer the Dryx desktop application or its licensing infrastructure unless the acquirer assumes our obligations to Founding Members in writing. A transfer without that written assumption is itself an End-of-Life Event and obligates us to complete the continuity commitment before or at closing.
• Payment processors are not a dependency. Your license is issued by Dryx AI, Inc., not by a payment processor. The end of our relationship with any payment processor is not an End-of-Life Event and has no effect on your license.

5.10 Termination discipline & later changes to these Terms

• We can suspend or terminate this license only for material breach of these Terms — for example, circumventing the three-machine cap, or sharing or reselling license keys or files — and only after notice and a 30-day opportunity to cure, where cure is possible. Sections 11.2 and 11.3 apply to Founding licenses only as modified by this Section; in particular, the “abusive behavior” ground in Section 11.2 does not permit suspension or termination of a Founding license.
• We will never suspend or revoke this license for business reasons — not on a pricing change, not on a change of ownership or control of Dryx, and not because the product is discontinued (Section 5.9 governs discontinuation).
• If we change these Terms later. Changes adverse to Founding Member Lifetime licenses already issued do not apply to those licenses: this Section 5 may change for an issued license only in the license holder’s favor, save for clarifications that resolve an ambiguity without reducing what the license holder already holds. Section 10 reflects this.
• Your statutory rights. Nothing in this Section 5 excludes, limits, or modifies any right or remedy you have under applicable law that cannot be excluded, limited, or modified by agreement, including the consumer-protection laws of your state or country of residence.

6. Intellectual Property

Dryx — including its source code, user interface designs, graph visualizations, rule definitions, scoring algorithms, behavioral baselining methods, instruction-layer directive injection mechanisms, AI Security Triad consensus architecture, documentation, and branding — is the intellectual property of Dryx AI, Inc. All rights are reserved.

Core Dryx mechanisms are patent-pending across eleven United States provisional filings: seven covering Dryx Authority Anchor architecture (priority date April 16, 2026 — multi-party consensus, dynamic policy directive injection, adversarial request resistance, per-instance behavioral baseline, orphaned configuration detection, pre-deployment blast radius, and multi-layer enforcement), and four prior cybersecurity foundations (priority date November 2025). See dryx.ai/patents for the full breakdown.

Brand assets are protected by federal trademark applications: USPTO Serial #99807971 (DRYX standard character wordmark) and USPTO Serial #99808108 (Triangulation Mark design), both filed May 6, 2026 under Dryx AI, Inc. across IC 009 and IC 042.

Your purchase or download grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App on macOS devices you own or control, subject to these Terms. This license is revocable only as provided in Section 11 — and a Founding Member Lifetime license is perpetual and terminable solely as provided in Sections 5.9 and 5.10.

You may not:

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent permitted by applicable law.
• Redistribute, sublicense, rent, lease, or lend the App or your license key.
• Remove or alter any copyright notices, branding, or proprietary labels in the App.
• Use the Dryx name, logo, AI Security Triad term, or branding in a way that implies endorsement without prior written consent.
• Attempt to recreate or implement the patent-pending mechanisms described above without a separate written license.

Your data is yours. Dryx does not claim any ownership of your configuration files, inspection results, behavioral baselines, exported reports, or any data on your machine. Inspection results and exported reports are your property.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

Specifically:

• Not a security guarantee. Dryx is an informational tool that highlights potential security exposures in AI agent configurations. It does not guarantee that your system is secure, nor does it guarantee detection of all security issues.
• Not a professional audit. Inspection results do not constitute a professional security audit, penetration test, or compliance certification. They should not be treated as such.
• No guarantee of accuracy. While we strive for accuracy, Dryx may produce false positives (flagging items that are not actual risks) or false negatives (missing items that are actual risks). Rule-based analysis has inherent limitations.
• Not legal or compliance advice. Nothing in the App constitutes legal advice. Consult qualified professionals for compliance and legal matters.
• No uptime guarantee. As a locally installed application, Dryx does not depend on cloud services for core functionality. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

The pricing, update, floor, and continuity commitments in Sections 3.4 and 5 are express commitments we stand behind; nothing in this Section 7 limits them. Subject to that, we disclaim all implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; where an implied warranty cannot be disclaimed, it is limited in duration to the duration of the applicable express commitment, to the extent the law allows. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so those limitations may not apply to you. This section gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary by jurisdiction.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• Dryx AI, Inc. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the App.
• This includes, without limitation, damages for loss of data, loss of profits, business interruption, security breaches, or any failure of the App to detect a security exposure.
• Our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) for one-time purchases (including the Founding Member Lifetime), the amount you paid for that license.
• If you are using the Free tier, our total aggregate liability shall not exceed fifty US dollars ($50).

You acknowledge that Dryx is a tool to assist your decision-making, and you are solely responsible for the security decisions you make based on its output.

9. User Responsibilities

By using Dryx, you agree to:

• Use the App lawfully. You will not use Dryx for any unlawful purpose or to inspect systems you do not own or are not authorized to inspect.
• Make your own security decisions. You understand that inspection results are informational and that you are responsible for evaluating and acting on findings.
• Keep your license key secure. If you have a direct-download license key, you are responsible for keeping it confidential. We are not liable for unauthorized use of your license key.
• Respect system permissions. Dryx requests file access through macOS permission dialogs. You are responsible for understanding which folders you grant access to and for what purposes.
• Understand opt-in features that write to your files. If you enable Context Shield, Quick Fix actions, or Ghost Agent cleanup, Dryx will write to or modify files on your machine to deliver those features. You are responsible for understanding these actions before you opt in. Each action is reversible (Context Shield writes are bounded by markers and removable; Quick Fix and Ghost Agent actions surface their effects before you confirm).
• Operate the webhook responsibly. If you configure a webhook to a SIEM or SOAR endpoint, the endpoint is yours and any data sent to it is governed by your organization's policies, not Dryx's. You are responsible for ensuring the endpoint and the data flow comply with applicable laws (GDPR, HIPAA, internal data-handling policies, etc.).
• Use Skill Shield and Authority Anchor MCP responsibly. Skill Shield fetches packages from URLs you supply; you are responsible for the URLs you analyze. Authority Anchor MCP exposes a local API to AI agents on your machine; you are responsible for which agents you allow to query it.
• Not circumvent licensing. You will not attempt to bypass, disable, or circumvent the App's licensing mechanisms, feature gating, or usage limits.

10. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes:

• We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
• For material changes (changes to pricing, liability, or your rights), we will provide at least 30 days' notice via the App or through our website.
• Modifications may not diminish the Pro Pricing Promise (Section 3.4) for any subscription already covered by it. That Section may only ever change in the subscriber's favor, save for the narrow ambiguity-resolving clarifications Section 3.4 itself permits — which may never raise a covered subscriber's rate or shorten the return window.
• Modifications adverse to Founding Member Lifetime licenses already issued do not apply to those licenses: Section 5 may change for an issued license only in the license holder’s favor, save for the same narrow ambiguity-resolving clarifications — which may never reduce what a Founding Member already holds (Section 5.10).
• Continued use of the App after the effective date constitutes acceptance of non-material changes only. Changes to dispute resolution (Section 12) or to the limitation of liability (Section 8) apply prospectively only and bind you only after you affirmatively accept them (for example, at your next checkout or activation); Sections 3.4 and 5 may change only as those Sections themselves provide.
• If you do not agree to the revised Terms, your remedy is to stop using the App and, if applicable, cancel your subscription.

11. Termination

11.1 By You

You may stop using Dryx at any time. Paid plans are sold via direct download; to cancel a paid subscription, use the customer portal link from your purchase receipt or email [email protected]. (The Mac App Store version is free, so there is nothing to cancel there.)

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access to paid features until that date.

11.2 By Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you:

• Violate these Terms.
• Attempt to circumvent licensing or feature gating.
• Engage in abusive behavior toward Dryx or its creator.

In the event of termination by us for reasons other than a Terms violation, we will provide a pro-rated refund for any unused portion of a prepaid subscription. Founding Member Lifetime licenses are different: we may suspend or terminate them only as provided in Section 5.10 — material breach, after notice and an opportunity to cure — never for business reasons, and discontinuation of the product is governed by the continuity commitments in Section 5.9, not by this Section.

11.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your license to use paid features ends, except as provided in Sections 5.9 and 5.10 for Founding Member Lifetime licenses. The Free tier remains available. Your locally stored inspection data is unaffected by license termination — it remains on your machine under your control.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the agreement to arbitrate below. If you are a consumer, you also benefit from any mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of the country or state where you reside, and nothing in this Section deprives you of that protection or of the right to bring proceedings in your local courts where that law grants it.

Disputes. Talk to us first: email [email protected] and give us 60 days to resolve the issue informally. If that fails, disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (and, where applicable, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules), conducted in English; we pay all arbitration fees beyond the equivalent of your court filing fee. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court in the consumer’s own jurisdiction. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement, with no effect on your license, by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of your first purchase (or, if you did not purchase the App, within 30 days of your first activation or first use). Changes to this arbitration provision require notice and do not apply to disputes that arose before the change.

Class waiver. Claims must be brought in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. If this class waiver is found unenforceable as to a dispute, the entire agreement to arbitrate that dispute is void and it will proceed in court. Venue for non-arbitrable matters is the state or federal courts located in Salt Lake County, Utah, except that small-claims matters and claims for public injunctive relief may proceed where the law requires.

EU, EEA, and UK consumers. The arbitration and class-waiver provisions above do not apply to you. You may bring disputes in the courts of your country of residence, and arbitration is available only if you choose it after a dispute arises.

Savings. Nothing in these Terms excludes, limits, or modifies any right or remedy you have under applicable law that cannot be excluded, limited, or modified by agreement. To the extent any provision of these Terms conflicts with such a right, that provision applies to you only to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the rest of these Terms remains in effect.
