Client License (EULA)

This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) covers the Terminalwire client — the terminalwire-exec program, and any app launcher that runs through it, that you install on your machine. It’s the plain-language companion to our full Terms; where the two differ, the Terms control. By installing or using the client, you agree to it.

The short version: the client is ours, we distribute and update it, you can use it freely — including from scripts and AI agents — and you just can’t repackage or tamper with it.

What the client is

The Terminalwire client is proprietary software owned by Rocketship, LLC. It connects your terminal to an application’s server and streams the session. It is not open source — but the server software it talks to is (Apache-2.0), so the code running inside the app you’re using is auditable and self-hostable by that app’s operator.

What you can do

• Install and use it to connect to Terminalwire-powered applications.
• Use it from automation. Scripted, headless, CI, and AI-agent-driven installation and use are fully permitted. The client never blocks, gates, or prompts for a license, and license checks never change its exit status — so it won’t break your pipelines or agents.
• Use it for personal and non-commercial purposes for free.

What you can’t do

• Redistribute or re-host it. Only Terminalwire distributes the client. Don’t mirror it, repackage it, bundle your own copy, or hand it to others — point people at Terminalwire’s installer instead. (This is true even for companies that pay for a Terminalwire subscription.)
• Reverse-engineer or tamper with it, or run a modified copy.
• Interfere with updates or license verification. The client updates itself through Terminalwire so every install stays compatible and current; don’t disable, pin, or work around that except through options we provide. Don’t suppress or circumvent the unlicensed-server notice.

The unlicensed notice

If you connect to a server whose operator doesn’t hold a valid Terminalwire license, the client prints a short advisory notice to standard error. That’s about the operator’s licensing, not you — it never blocks the session, and it’s the operator’s job to resolve it. See How is it licensed?.

Privacy

The client is built so we can’t watch you: we don’t identify or track individual users, and we never receive the commands you run or their output. We do record limited connection metadata for per-server licensing and aggregate volume. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

No warranty

The client is provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, Rocketship, LLC is not liable for any damage to your systems, data, or workflows arising from its use. The complete warranty disclaimer and limitation of liability are in the Terms.
