Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2026

1. The service

Termalin is a desktop SSH client with optional cloud features (account sync, session-recording storage, a web cabinet) at termal.in. By creating an account or using the cloud features you agree to these terms. The desktop app works without an account; these terms then apply only to your use of the software.

2. Backups and reliability

Termalin is provided as is. Software changes, and bugs — including ones that can lose data — are possible despite our best efforts. Keep independent backups of anything critical (your SSH keys most of all).

3. Your account

  • You are responsible for your account credentials and for your master password. We cannot recover data encrypted with a lost master password.
  • You must provide a working email address (used for account emails such as verification and password reset; the privacy policy lists the rest).
  • One person per account; teams get team plans.

4. Acceptable use

Termalin is a tool for accessing systems you are authorized to access. You agree not to use it, or our cloud, to:

  • access computers or accounts without authorization, or test the security of systems you don't own or lack written permission to test;
  • host, transmit or store unlawful content through the service;
  • probe, overload, or disrupt the service itself, or attempt to access other users' data (their content is encrypted anyway — see the security page);
  • scan, probe or attack systems you don't own or lack written permission to test, including through servers connected with a Connector;
  • build, host or operate tooling for phishing, credential or payment-card theft, or any other fraud, on servers connected to the service;
  • mine cryptocurrency on, or send unsolicited mail from, servers you do not own;
  • resell the service without an agreement with us.

When activity looks like the above, we may pause an account's Connectors and API access while we review it (signing in keeps working, and we email the account), and we may suspend or terminate accounts engaged in it, without refund.

5. Plans & payment

A free tier exists and will remain. Paid tiers unlock the cloud features (sync, the web terminal, Connectors, hosted MCP, server monitoring) and larger allowances (cloud recording storage and retention, AI assistant requests). Prices, including any discounts or one-time licenses, are shown at purchase time. Billing terms (renewal, cancellation, refunds) are stated on the pricing page and form part of these terms.

5a. Referral program

Each account has a personal invite link. When someone opens it and then creates a new account, you earn account credit equal to 10% of each plan payment they make, for as long as they pay. Details are on the referral program page.

  • Only new accounts can be linked; the first invite link a visitor opened counts. Balance top-ups on their own and purchases through Apple's App Store are not rewarded.
  • One reward per payment. Credit is usable toward Termalin plans and services and is never paid out as cash.
  • Self-referrals, fake or duplicate accounts and other abuse are not allowed; credit obtained that way may be removed. Credit for refunded or charged-back payments may be reversed.
  • We may change or end the program with notice; credit already earned stays usable.

6. Your content

Everything you store through Termalin remains yours. You grant us only the license required to store and transmit your (encrypted) data in order to operate the service. We claim no rights to your terminal sessions, keys, or hosts.

7. Software

The desktop app is licensed, not sold, for your use with the service. You may not redistribute modified builds under the Termalin name in a way that misleads users about their origin (see also the update-signing model on the security page).

8. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (OR $0 ON THE FREE TIER). WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST DATA CAUSED BY A LOST MASTER PASSWORD.

10. Termination

You can delete your account at any time (app or web cabinet); this permanently removes your server-side data, except the records the privacy policy says are kept. We may terminate accounts that violate section 4, with notice where practical.

11. Changes

We may update these terms as the service evolves; material changes will be announced on the site or by email. Continued use after changes means acceptance.
