Terms of Service
On this page
Acceptance
By downloading, installing, or using OpenAlly, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, that's okay — please don't use the app.
Eligibility
You need to be at least 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) and able to enter into a binding agreement to use OpenAlly. If you're under the age of majority where you live, please use OpenAlly only with a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms. OpenAlly isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Description of Service
OpenAlly is a platform for running your own AI agents on Android devices. AI processing occurs locally on your device via an embedded Rust runtime (the cortex-kernel) — not on servers operated by TheAppStack. The app connects to third-party AI providers and messaging platforms using credentials you supply.
Intellectual Property & Open Source
OpenAlly grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms. The OpenAlly name, brand, and proprietary components remain the property of TheAppStack.
OpenAlly's on-device engine is built with open-source software — including the whatsmeow WhatsApp library and other third-party Rust components — used under their respective licenses, and it incorporates code with an upstream OpenClaw lineage. The OpenAlly application itself is proprietary; our separate Aster companion app is open source. Third-party open-source licenses are included in the app's notices, govern your use of those components, and, where they differ from these Terms, control as to that component. These Terms apply to your use of the OpenAlly application as a whole.
Your Responsibilities
By using OpenAlly, you agree that:
- You are responsible for your own API keys and any costs incurred with third-party AI providers. OpenAlly does not manage billing with providers on your behalf.
- You will not use the app for any illegal purpose, or to violate the rights of others.
- You are responsible for compliance with the terms of service of any third-party platforms you connect (messaging apps, AI providers, etc.).
- You will not attempt to reverse-engineer, tamper with, or misuse the app in ways that could harm other users or third-party services.
Acceptable Use & Automation
With the Android Accessibility service and its automation features, OpenAlly can act on your device and inside other apps on your behalf. That's a lot of capability, so using it responsibly matters: you are responsible for every action OpenAlly takes on your device at your direction. Please don't use OpenAlly's automation, screen-control, or web-automation features to:
- break the terms of service or acceptable-use policies of any app, website, or service you automate;
- send spam, bulk, or unsolicited messages;
- commit fraud, impersonate someone, or do anything unlawful;
- bypass paywalls, access controls, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, or sign-in on services you aren't authorized to access;
- scrape or collect data against a site's terms; or
- interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to any system.
Automation can sometimes do something unexpected, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on automated runs. OpenAlly isn't responsible for the consequences of actions you ask it to perform.
Third-Party Services
OpenAlly integrates with third-party AI providers and messaging platforms. These services have their own terms of service, privacy policies, and usage limits. TheAppStack is not responsible for third-party service outages, policy changes, rate limits, or any other actions taken by third-party providers. Your relationship with each provider is governed by your agreement with that provider. A current list of supported AI providers and messaging platforms is kept in our Privacy Policy.
OpenAlly does not provide, host, or operate any AI model. Every bit of AI processing uses a model you bring — your own API key, a subscription you authorize by signing in, or a model running on your own device. That means you're responsible for following each AI provider's and each messaging platform's terms, and for any costs, charges, and usage limits run up under your keys, accounts, or subscriptions. Because the model is yours, TheAppStack does not control, and is not responsible for, the content, accuracy, or legality of anything a third-party or on-device model produces.
Advertising
OpenAlly is free and supported by ads shown through Google AdMob. Ad content comes from Google and its advertising partners and isn't controlled by TheAppStack. AdMob may use your device's advertising ID to show ads; you can reset it or opt out of personalized ads any time in your Android device settings.
Crash Reporting
OpenAlly uses Firebase Crashlytics to collect anonymous crash and performance data, which helps us keep the app stable. Crash reports never include conversation content or personal information — just the technical details (like device model, OS version, and stack traces) we need to fix what broke.
AI-Generated Content
AI can get things wrong — responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated — so it's worth double-checking anything important. Please don't rely on AI-generated content for medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, or other high-stakes decisions without verifying it yourself. Any financial, spending, legal, medical, or safety information is for general guidance only and isn't professional advice; for decisions like these, check with a qualified professional. You're responsible for how you use AI-generated content.
Safety features — like SMS spam and scam/phishing detection — run on-device and do their best, but they're a helpful heads-up, not a guarantee. They can miss things or flag the wrong thing, so please treat them as one signal rather than your only line of defense, and trust your own judgment before acting on a message.
Your Content
The content you create or work with in OpenAlly — prompts, documents, messages, automation recordings, knowledge-base files — stays yours. It lives on your device, so TheAppStack doesn't host it, access it, claim ownership of it, or use it. You're responsible for your content and for making sure you have the right to process it and to send it to any model provider or messaging platform you connect.
Disclaimer of Warranties
OpenAlly is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. TheAppStack and Satyajit Pradhan make no warranties regarding merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of security vulnerabilities.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TheAppStack and Satyajit Pradhan shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, OpenAlly — including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or service interruptions — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Indemnification
Because OpenAlly acts under your direction and your own accounts, you agree to cover and hold harmless TheAppStack and Satyajit Pradhan from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) that arise out of or relate to:
- your use or misuse of OpenAlly, including any automated actions it performs at your direction;
- your breach of these Terms or of any third-party provider's, platform's, or service's terms;
- content you send, generate, or process through the app; or
- your violation of any law or the rights of anyone else.
Termination
These Terms stay in effect while you use OpenAlly. You can stop any time by uninstalling the app; uninstalling removes your on-device data (any backup you saved to your own Google Drive needs to be deleted by you separately). We may suspend, discontinue, or change the app or any feature at any time, with or without notice, to the extent the law allows. Sections that should naturally outlast the agreement — including Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law — survive.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of OpenAlly will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of India, to the extent the law allows. None of this limits the mandatory consumer-protection rights you already have under the law of the country where you live.
Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of OpenAlly after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
