Terms of Service & EULA
Last Updated: April 20, 2026
Welcome to Silkwave Chat! These Terms of Service and End-User License Agreement ("Agreement") govern your use of the Silkwave Chat macOS application (the "App").
1. Acknowledgment
This Agreement is concluded between you and Bakhshi Mnatsakanyan ("Developer", "we", or "us") only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and the content thereof. This Agreement does not provide for usage rules for the App that are in conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
2. The Service
Silkwave Chat is a client interface for generative artificial intelligence. The Service includes features for:
- Text-based chat with AI models.
- Image generation.
Key Acknowledgment: The App is a client interface. It does not provide the underlying AI services (unless running strictly on-device models like Apple Intelligence or Ollama). To use cloud-based features, you are required to provide your own Application Programming Interface (API) keys.
3. Scope of License
The Developer grants you a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The App may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
4. AI Providers & On-Device Models
Third-Party Terms: You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App. For example, if you use OpenAI or Google keys, you must comply with their respective Terms of Service.
- Cloud Providers: Your relationship with any third-party API provider is strictly between you and that provider. You are solely responsible for any usage fees they charge.
- On-Device Models: When using Apple Intelligence or local models (e.g., Ollama), processing occurs locally on your Mac.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Harmful Generation: Generate or edit images or text to create deepfakes, non-consensual sexual content (NCSC), child sexual abuse material (CSAM), or content that promotes violence or hate speech.
6. Intellectual Property & Claims
You acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
7. Maintenance & Support
The Developer is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App as specified in this Agreement or as required under applicable law. You and the Developer acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
8. Warranty & Product Claims
The Developer is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims of the End-User or any third party relating to the App or the End-User's possession and/or use of that App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
AI Disclaimer: You acknowledge that AI models can hallucinate. The Developer is not responsible for inaccuracies in generated content.
9. Legal Compliance
You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
10. Third Party Beneficiary
You and the Developer acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOSS OF DATA, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM (A) YOUR USE OF THE APP; OR (B) CONTENT GENERATED BY THIRD-PARTY OR LOCAL MODELS.
