SmallClaw Terms & Conditions and End User License Agreement
Effective date: 22 March 2026
Last updated: 28 April 2026
These Terms & Conditions and End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) are entered into between you and Smallsoft Pty Ltd (“Smallsoft”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Agreement governs your download, installation, access to, and use of SmallClaw, including the SmallClaw macOS app, related documentation, updates, websites, support, purchases, model integrations, automation features, and optional connected services.
By installing, accessing, or using SmallClaw, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, you must not use SmallClaw.
1. Product Description
SmallClaw is a native macOS productivity app for AI-assisted workflows. It lets users configure supported LLM providers, manage local permissions, run personal or organization task workflows, and connect optional integrations.
SmallClaw is designed as a local-first app. It does not itself provide, host, operate, or resell an LLM or generative AI model service. Users may configure their own supported third-party model providers.
2. Distribution Channels and Purchase Handling
SmallClaw may be distributed through different channels. The purchase, entitlement, and update mechanism for your copy of SmallClaw depends on the distribution channel through which that copy was obtained.
For the Mac App Store version, in-app digital feature purchases, subscriptions, restore purchases, refunds, and App Store account handling are managed by Apple and may also be subject to Apple’s terms, including the Apple Standard EULA and Apple Media Services Terms.
For the Direct version, licence activation, payments, and updates may be handled by Smallsoft or third-party payment and licensing providers.
If there is a conflict between this Agreement and mandatory Apple terms for Mac App Store transactions, Apple’s applicable terms control for those transaction-related matters.
3. Licence
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and payment of any applicable fees, Smallsoft grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use SmallClaw on compatible macOS devices that you own or control.
SmallClaw is licensed, not sold. Smallsoft retains all rights not expressly granted in this Agreement.
4. Restrictions
You must not:
- copy, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or distribute SmallClaw except as expressly permitted by law;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract source code, internal logic, prompts, keys, or protected structures, except where applicable law permits;
- bypass licensing, payment, entitlement, security, or access-control mechanisms;
- use SmallClaw for unlawful, harmful, abusive, fraudulent, infringing, or malicious purposes;
- use SmallClaw to attack, scan, exploit, spam, phish, or gain unauthorized access to any system;
- remove copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices.
5. Accounts, Purchases, and Entitlements
Some features may require a valid purchase, subscription, licence key, app-store entitlement, third-party account, or configured provider credential.
You are responsible for keeping your credentials, API keys, licence information, and connected accounts secure.
Smallsoft may validate, suspend, limit, or revoke access where necessary to prevent fraud, enforce licences, protect security, comply with law, or respond to misuse.
6. User-Configured LLM Providers
SmallClaw can send prompts, instructions, context, file excerpts, tool context, and outputs to the LLM provider selected and configured by you.
You are responsible for:
- choosing an appropriate provider;
- reviewing the provider’s terms, privacy policy, pricing, and usage limits;
- ensuring you have the right to send data to that provider;
- protecting your API keys and provider accounts;
- managing the cost and risk of model usage.
Smallsoft is not responsible for third-party model availability, pricing, policy changes, output quality, or provider-side data handling.
7. AI Output and No Professional Advice
SmallClaw is an AI-assisted tool. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading, unsafe, or unsuitable for your use case.
SmallClaw does not provide legal, medical, financial, cybersecurity, employment, safety, or other professional advice. You must not rely on SmallClaw as the sole basis for high-impact decisions.
You are responsible for reviewing outputs, verifying important information, and deciding whether to use or act on any output.
8. Automation and Sensitive Actions
SmallClaw may support automation, tool execution, browser interaction, file access, channel integrations, and other workflows.
You are responsible for reviewing and approving sensitive actions, including actions involving money, legal rights, contracts, external communications, account permissions, data deletion, security settings, system configuration, or third-party services.
You should maintain appropriate backups and grant only the permissions necessary for your intended workflow.
9. Third-Party Services
SmallClaw may connect to third-party services, including model providers, messaging platforms, browser environments, websites, cloud services, payment processors, App Store services, and other APIs.
Third-party services are not controlled by Smallsoft. Their own terms, privacy policies, pricing, limits, availability, and compliance rules apply.
Smallsoft is not responsible for third-party services except to the extent required by applicable law.
10. Privacy
Your use of SmallClaw is also governed by the SmallClaw Privacy Policy.
SmallClaw stores settings, credentials, workflow records, usage records, audit logs, permissions, automation settings, skills, and integration settings locally on your Mac by default. Data may leave your Mac when you configure external LLM providers, connected services, App Store purchases, support requests, sync, or optional integrations.

You represent that you have the necessary rights and permissions to process, upload, transmit, or use any data, files, prompts, instructions, or third-party content with SmallClaw.
You are responsible for ensuring that your use of SmallClaw complies with applicable confidentiality, privacy, employment, intellectual property, and data-protection obligations.
12. Intellectual Property

If you provide suggestions, ideas, bug reports, or other feedback, Smallsoft may use them to improve SmallClaw without payment, attribution, or obligation, unless otherwise required by law.
14. Fees, Refunds, and Taxes
Fees are charged as shown at the time of purchase.
For Mac App Store purchases, Apple handles billing, refunds, subscriptions, tax collection, and payment processing under Apple’s rules.
For Direct purchases, billing and refunds may be handled by Smallsoft or third-party payment providers.
You are responsible for any applicable taxes, currency conversion fees, bank charges, or provider usage costs.
15. Updates and Availability
Smallsoft may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue SmallClaw or any feature at any time.
We do not guarantee that every feature, integration, provider, workflow, or compatibility mode will remain available forever.
Mac App Store versions are updated through Apple’s App Store mechanisms. Direct versions may use Smallsoft’s update mechanisms.
16. Security
SmallClaw uses macOS security features to help protect sensitive credentials. However, no software or system is completely secure.
You are responsible for securing your Mac, Apple account, backups, API keys, third-party accounts, local files, and connected services.
17. Prohibited Uses
You must not use SmallClaw to:
- violate law or third-party rights;
- generate, automate, or distribute malware, phishing, spam, or fraudulent activity;
- access systems without authorization;
- evade security, licensing, or payment controls;
- process data you are not authorized to use;
- perform safety-critical operations where failure could cause death, personal injury, or serious damage.
18. Disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SmallClaw is provided “as is” and “as available”.
Smallsoft does not warrant that SmallClaw will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, fit for a particular purpose, compatible with every provider, or capable of producing any specific result.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including the Australian Consumer Law.
19. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Smallsoft is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, data, revenue, goodwill, business opportunity, or business interruption.
Smallsoft is not responsible for losses caused by third-party services, user-configured providers, user instructions, automation decisions, unavailable integrations, inaccurate AI outputs, or failure to review sensitive actions, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
20. Australian Consumer Law
If the Australian Consumer Law applies, our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded. For major failures, you may be entitled to cancel your service contract and receive a refund for the unused portion, or compensation for reduced value. You may also be entitled to compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.
Nothing in this Agreement limits any non-excludable consumer rights.
21. Termination
You may stop using SmallClaw at any time.
Smallsoft may suspend, restrict, or terminate access if you breach this Agreement, misuse the service, attempt fraud, create security risk, violate law, or interfere with third-party rights.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination will continue, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, privacy, and dispute provisions.
22. Export and Sanctions Compliance
You must comply with applicable export-control, sanctions, and trade laws. You must not use, export, re-export, or transfer SmallClaw in violation of those laws.
23. Changes to This Agreement
Smallsoft may update this Agreement from time to time. If changes are material, we may provide notice through the app, website, release notes, or other reasonable means.
Your continued use of SmallClaw after the updated Agreement becomes effective means you accept the updated Agreement. If you do not agree, you must stop using SmallClaw.
24. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Australian Capital Territory and the federal laws of Australia applicable there, except where applicable consumer law gives you non-excludable rights in another jurisdiction.
