Terms of Service

Effective September 29, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the RUNBENCH beta application and the account used to access it (collectively, the "Service"), which is provided by Alexander Krause ("RUNBENCH," "we," "us," or "our"). Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms. By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Beta Service

The Service is provided free of charge on a beta basis. It is offered for evaluation and may be modified, suspended, interrupted, or discontinued at any time, in whole or in part, without notice or liability. The Service is not a backup service, and we do not guarantee the preservation, availability, or integrity of any data. We may decline to provide the Service to installed versions that are no longer supported. If we introduce a paid plan in the future, we will provide notice before any charge is imposed. We do not maintain payment-card information on file during the beta.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

3. License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the application for your own purposes, including your own commercial work. This is a license, not a sale; you acquire no ownership interest in the software. You may not sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, redistribute, decompile, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of the application or its installers, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law. The application incorporates third-party software components, each of which is subject to its own license terms.

4. Your Content

Your projects, prompts, and related content remain on your device. We do not claim ownership of, host, or access your content. Rights in any output generated by a third-party provider you connect are governed by that provider's terms.

5. Third-Party Providers

The Service permits you to connect third-party providers using your own accounts and API keys. You are solely responsible for those accounts, for compliance with those providers' terms, and for any fees they charge. We do not warrant that any provider, Midjourney, or ComfyUI will be available, will function, or will accept any given request, and we are not responsible for the acts, omissions, or content of any third-party provider.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to: (a) violate any applicable law or regulation; (b) infringe the rights of any third party; (c) attack, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure; or (d) circumvent any access controls or obtain access you have not been granted. You may not share your account with any other person.

7. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate any account used in violation of these Terms, or otherwise at our discretion, without notice or liability. You may cease using the Service at any time and may request deletion of your account by contacting support@runbench.app. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive.

8. The Applications

The macOS application is signed and notarized by Apple. The Windows installer for this beta is unsigned; Windows may display a warning, and Smart App Control on a new Windows 11 device may prevent it from running. These conditions are described on the download page. The application is capable of updating itself when a new version is available.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROJECTS, PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER CHARGES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE, WHICH FOR THIS BETA IS ZERO DOLLARS ($0). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page and updating the "Effective" date above. Your continued use of the Service after the revised Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of them. If you do not accept the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and may request deletion of your account.

13. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account; we may assign these Terms in connection with a transfer of the Service, and these Terms will bind any successor. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
