Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you", "your") and LimanDoc ZZP, a sole proprietorship ("eenmanszaak") established in the Netherlands ("LimanDoc", "we", "us", "our"), governing your use of the Ipek desktop application and related websites, documentation, and services (together, "Ipek" or the "Software").

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY INCLUDE IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON OUR LIABILITY AND AN ASSUMPTION OF RISK FOR RUNNING THIRD-PARTY AND AI-GENERATED CODE (SEE SECTIONS 8, 9, 16, AND 17).
1. ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
By downloading, installing, or using Ipek, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the Software. If you use Ipek on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf, and "you" includes that organization.
2. WHAT IPEK IS
Ipek is a local-first desktop application that lets you build and run automation workflows on your own computer. Workflows are composed of "workers" (also called plugins) - discrete, typed processing steps that you connect together. Workers may be built in, imported by you, or generated for you with the help of AI features. Some workers and features can call third-party services (such as AI model providers or connectors) using credentials you supply.
Ipek keeps your projects, inputs, and outputs on your device. We operate no backend server that receives or stores them (see the Privacy Policy).
3. LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal (or internal-business), non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use Ipek on devices you own or control, for your own lawful purposes.
We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all source code, designs, text, graphics, logos, and other content and trademarks (the "Marks"), which are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms or by mandatory law, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works of the Software, and you may not reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble it, except to the extent (a) such restriction is prohibited by applicable law, or (b) we expressly permit it (for example, to develop interoperable worker plugins against a published SDK). This license does not grant you any rights in the Marks.
4. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY
Ipek currently does not require you to create an account. If we introduce accounts in the future, you agree to provide accurate information, to keep your credentials confidential, and to be responsible for activity under your account.
You represent that you are at least 16 years old (or older where required by your local law), that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and that your use of the Software will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws.
5. YOUR CONTENT AND DATA
As between you and us, you own and are solely responsible for your projects, the files you process, your configurations, your workflow outputs, and any worker source you create or have generated (your "Content"). Because Ipek is local-first, your Content is stored on your own device; we do not receive, store, access, back up, or have the ability to recover it.
You are solely responsible for: maintaining backups of your Content; the legality of the data you process and of the way you process it; obtaining any consents or rights required for that data; and securing your device and credentials. We have no liability for any loss, corruption, or destruction of Content.
6. ACCEPTABLE USE
You agree not to use Ipek to, and not to build or run workers that:
- (a)violate any law or regulation, or infringe the intellectual-property, privacy, or other rights of others;
- (b)create, store, or distribute malware, or gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, network, account, or data;
- (c)circumvent, disable, or interfere with security or access controls, or the safety measures of any third-party service or AI model (for example, by prompt injection, "jailbreaking", or evading rate limits or usage policies);
- (d)generate, process, or distribute unlawful content, including child sexual abuse material, or content that is harassing, defamatory, or that incites violence;
- (e)violate the terms of use or acceptable-use policy of any third-party service, model provider, or connector you access through Ipek; or
- (f)misrepresent the origin of AI-generated content where disclosure is required, or use the Software in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load on, or otherwise abuses, any third-party service.
You are responsible for everything done through your use of the Software, including the behavior of workers you create, import, generate, or run.
7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND BRING-YOUR-OWN-KEY
Ipek lets you connect to and use third-party services - including AI/model providers (such as Anthropic and Google) and connectors (such as Linear and Zendesk) - using your own accounts, API keys, or credentials. These services are operated independently of us.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:
- (a)when you use such a feature, your data is sent directly from your device to the third-party provider you selected, using your own credentials, and we do not intermediate, inspect, store, or control that exchange;
- (b)your use of each third-party service is governed solely by your own agreement with, and the policies of, that service, which you are responsible for reviewing and complying with;
- (c)you are responsible for all activity and all charges incurred on your third-party accounts; and
- (d)we do not endorse, and are not responsible or liable for, any third-party service, including its availability, accuracy, security, data handling, or any act or omission on its part.
8. PLUGINS, CUSTOM WORKERS, AND AI-GENERATED CODE - ASSUMPTION OF RISK
THIS SECTION IS IMPORTANT. READ IT CAREFULLY.
Ipek can build, install, and run worker code - including workers you import from third parties and workers generated for you by AI features - IN THE SAME PROCESS AS THE APPLICATION AND WITH THE FULL PRIVILEGES OF YOUR OPERATING-SYSTEM USER ACCOUNT. At present, this code is NOT sandboxed or otherwise isolated.
This means that a worker - whether written by you, obtained from a third party, or generated by AI - can, while it runs, read, modify, or delete any file your user account can access, make network connections, send data to external services, and execute other operations on your device on your behalf. Automated safety checks that Ipek may perform on generated or imported workers are best-effort static checks only; they are NOT a security sandbox, they can be defeated, and they must not be relied upon as containment or as a guarantee of safety.
ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE THAT:
- (a)you install, build, and run all workers and AI-generated code entirely AT YOUR OWN RISK;
- (b)you are solely responsible for reviewing and deciding whether to trust any worker before you build, install, or run it, and for the consequences of running it. Ipek lets you inspect a worker's source code - both within the App and directly in the worker's ".ipek" package file on your device - so that you can read and verify it yourself before running it;
- (c)any directory, gallery, marketplace, template set, or listing of workers is provided for convenience only; we do not develop, vet, endorse, or guarantee third-party workers, and listing does not imply review or approval; and
- (d)TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS, DATA DESTRUCTION, SECURITY COMPROMISE, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, OR OTHER DAMAGE ARISING FROM ANY WORKER OR AI-GENERATED CODE, WHETHER OBTAINED FROM US, FROM A THIRD PARTY, OR GENERATED FOR YOU.
The same applies if you enable Ipek's optional local external-agent (MCP) interface and connect external tools or agents to it: you are responsible for the tools you authorize and for the permissions and confirmations you grant them.
You also acknowledge that workers, AI-generated code, run logs, and workflow outputs can read, transform, and transmit your data (including to third-party services), and may therefore expose confidential information. You are responsible for reviewing logs and outputs before sharing or relying on them.
9. AI FEATURES AND GENERATED OUTPUT
Ipek's AI features (including the in-app assistant and the worker builder) and any AI-powered workers produce output using third-party models. You acknowledge that:
- (a)AI-generated content, code, and worker definitions may be inaccurate, incomplete, insecure, or unsuitable for your purpose, and you MUST independently review and validate any such output before relying on it or putting it into production;
- (b)such output may resemble pre-existing material and may be subject to third-party rights, including open-source licenses, and you are responsible for confirming you have the rights necessary to use it; identical or similar output may be generated for other users; and
- (c)as between you and us, you own the inputs you provide and any output generated for you, and we claim no ownership of them. Your use of AI output is at your sole risk.
10. FEES, SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND PAYMENT
Ipek is currently provided free of charge. You are, however, responsible for any costs you incur with third-party providers under your own keys (for example, AI/model API usage).
We may introduce paid plans, subscriptions, or paid features in the future. If we do, the following will apply to those paid offerings, in addition to any specific terms presented at the point of purchase:
- (a)you agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and billing information, and to keep it updated;
- (b)you authorize us and our payment processors to charge your chosen payment method for the fees and applicable taxes;
- (c)subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods at the then-current price until cancelled, and you authorize recurring charges until you cancel;
- (d)any free trial converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel before it ends;
- (e)prices are exclusive of taxes unless stated otherwise, and you are responsible for applicable taxes (including VAT where it applies);
- (f)we may change prices and the features included in a plan; we will give reasonable advance notice of price changes that affect an existing subscription, and changes will take effect at your next renewal; and
- (g)we may correct pricing errors, decline or cancel orders, and offer discounts (for example, to early adopters or students) at our discretion.
11. CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS
If and when paid plans exist, you may cancel a subscription at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period, and you will retain access until then. Except where a refund is required by mandatory applicable law (including statutory rights that may apply to consumers in the European Union), fees are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partial periods. If you are unhappy, contact us at info@limandoc.com - we will try to make it right.
12. UPDATES AND CHANGES TO THE SOFTWARE
We may release updates, and the Software may check for and download them (see the Privacy Policy); you can choose whether to install them, though some features may require a current version. We may modify, add, or remove features, and may suspend or discontinue the Software or any feature, at any time. We are not obligated to provide updates, support, or maintenance, and we have no liability for changes to, or discontinuation of, the Software or any feature.
13. BETA AND PRE-RELEASE FEATURES
Ipek, or particular features, may be offered as alpha, beta, early-release, experimental, or otherwise pre-release ("Pre-Release"). Pre-Release software is provided for evaluation, may contain bugs or errors, may change or be removed at any time, may be unstable, and is provided "AS IS" without any warranty or service commitment. Do not rely on Pre-Release features for critical work.
14. FEEDBACK
If you send us ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about Ipek, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use it for any purpose, without restriction, attribution, or compensation to you.
15. HIGH-RISK AND PROHIBITED-CONTEXT USE
Ipek is general-purpose software and is NOT designed, intended, or authorized for use in hazardous or safety-critical environments or applications where a failure or inaccuracy could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical, financial, or environmental harm - including, without limitation, the operation of life-support systems, medical devices, nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication, or weapons systems. You agree not to use the Software for any such purpose, and we disclaim all liability for any such use.
16. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IPEK AND ALL RELATED SERVICES, WORKERS, TEMPLATES, AND OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; THAT ANY WORKER, AI-GENERATED CODE, OR OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, SAFE, OR SUITABLE; OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL WORK WITH ANY PARTICULAR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE. YOU BEAR THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE.
17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
- (a)WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OR DATA, OR FOR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND
- (b)OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR (ii) ONE HUNDRED EUROS (EUR 100).
These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory on which a claim is based and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. In particular, we do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for intent or gross negligence; and if you are a consumer, you retain all mandatory rights you have under the law of your country of residence, and nothing in these Terms affects those rights.
18. INDEMNIFICATION
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LimanDoc and its owner, agents, and representatives from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your Content or your data; (b) your use of the Software, including any worker you create, import, generate, or run; (c) your use of any third-party service; (d) your breach of these Terms or of any applicable law; or (e) your infringement of any third-party right.
19. EXPORT CONTROL AND SANCTIONS
You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and economic-sanctions laws and regulations. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use or export the Software in or to, any country or territory subject to a relevant embargo, and that you are not a person or entity targeted by applicable sanctions or on a restricted-party list.
20. TERM AND TERMINATION
These Terms apply while you use the Software. The license in Section 3 terminates automatically if you breach these Terms, and you may end it at any time by ceasing to use the Software. We may also suspend or terminate your access to the Software or any service, or discontinue the Software, where reasonably necessary (for example, for legal reasons, security, or breach of these Terms). On termination, you must stop using the Software and may uninstall and delete all copies. Your locally stored Content remains under your control on your device. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5-9 and 14-23) will survive.
21. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Software, are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The competent courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, will have jurisdiction over any such dispute, except that: (a) we may seek injunctive relief in any competent court; and (b) if you are a consumer, you may rely on the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence and may bring or defend proceedings in the competent courts there.
22. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised version with a new "Last updated" date and, where the changes are material, take reasonable steps to bring them to your attention (for example, by an in-app or website notice). Changes take effect when posted unless stated otherwise, and your continued use of the Software after that constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, stop using the Software.
23. MISCELLANEOUS
- •Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Software and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.
- •Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions remain in full force.
- •No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
- •Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
- •Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- •No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any rights for any third party, except that our owner, agents, and representatives may rely on the disclaimers, limitations, and indemnities here.
- •Electronic acceptance. You agree to contract electronically, and you waive any objection to the validity of these Terms based on their electronic form.
