Effective date: 2026-08-15
These Software License Terms govern the local Sleev software provided by Sleev Labs Inc., including the Sleev CLI, TUI, local gateway, updater, install scripts, packaged binaries, configuration tools, documentation, and related local components.
If you have a written agreement, pilot agreement, enterprise agreement, or order form with Sleev Labs Inc., that written agreement controls to the extent it conflicts with these terms.
1. Parties And Acceptance
These terms are between Sleev Labs Inc. and the person or organization that installs, accesses, or uses Sleev.
Where Sleev requires explicit acceptance, you may accept these terms through the Sleev website. If Sleev provides notice of updated terms with an effective date, continued use after that effective date is governed by the updated terms.
If you accept on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. If you do not have that authority, you may accept only for your own permitted individual use or limited evaluation use.
2. Ownership
Sleev is proprietary software owned by Sleev Labs Inc. Sleev is not open source. Sleev Labs Inc. and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in Sleev, including all intellectual property rights.
These terms grant only the limited rights expressly stated below. All other rights are reserved.
3. Individual Use License
Sleev Labs Inc. grants one natural person a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Sleev for that person’s own work.
Individual Use includes personal projects, learning, solo commercial work, freelance work, contracting, consulting, side-business work, and client work.
A freelancer or contractor may use Sleev as their own tool to produce work for a client. They may not provide Sleev itself as a service, make Sleev available to a client or team, or let a client or team use their Sleev install.
4. Organization Evaluation License
An organization may evaluate Sleev on a self-serve basis for up to 15 days under these limits:
- Exactly one evaluator.
- Exactly one Sleev account.
- Exactly one local machine.
- Non-production use only.
- No team rollout.
- No CI, automation, or shared gateway use.
- No central deployment, managed device image, or company-wide setup.
- No support, uptime commitment, SLA, DPA, or security review unless separately agreed in writing.
The evaluator may use any email address. This limit is contractual and does not depend on email domain.
If an organization wants a longer evaluation, more evaluators, support, a DPA, security review, production use, or any rollout, it must contact Sleev Labs Inc. for a pilot, enterprise subscription, or written agreement.
Employee use for regular employer work after the 15-day evaluation requires a paid pilot, enterprise subscription, or written agreement.
5. Organization Use
Organization Use requires a paid pilot, enterprise subscription, or written agreement with Sleev Labs Inc.
Organization Use includes use where Sleev is deployed, managed, coordinated, recommended, required, or relied on by a company, team, institution, client, customer, nonprofit, research group, school, or other organization outside the 15-day Organization Evaluation License.
Education, nonprofit, open-source maintainer, and research use do not receive a special automatic category. They follow the same Individual Use, Organization Evaluation, and Organization Use rules unless Sleev Labs Inc. grants an exception in writing.
6. Restrictions
Except as expressly allowed by these terms or by written permission from Sleev Labs Inc., you may not:
- Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of Sleev.
- Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, host, mirror, distribute, bundle, or redistribute Sleev.
- Make Sleev available to others as a hosted service, managed service, shared gateway, service bureau, or outsourced service.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code from Sleev, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
- Bypass or interfere with authentication, licensing, usage limits, update mechanisms, security mechanisms, or safety mechanisms.
- Use Sleev for illegal, abusive, harmful, or unauthorized activity.
- Use Sleev if you are legally barred from doing so, including under applicable export-control or sanctions laws.
- Present benchmark, performance, reliability, or competitive claims about Sleev in a false or materially misleading way, or imply Sleev Labs Inc. endorses your results without written permission.
Being technically able to do something with Sleev does not make that use permitted under these terms.
We welcome good-faith independent benchmarking, including use of Sleev Labs Inc.’s published benchmark guidance or suites when available. If you publish results, include the material methodology and configuration needed to understand and reproduce them. You may contact Sleev Labs Inc. before publication if you want us to validate your methodology or compare it with current benchmark guidance.
7. Accounts, Credentials, And Providers
You are responsible for your Sleev account, local installation, provider credentials, upstream provider accounts, and activity through your installation.
Sleev may allow you to configure upstream AI providers. Your use of those providers is governed by your agreements with those providers. Sleev Labs Inc. is not responsible for upstream provider services, availability, pricing, model behavior, or policy enforcement.
8. Data Handling Summary
For supported local gateway use, provider request and response content is handled by the user’s local Sleev gateway and is not sent to Sleev Labs servers by default.
Sleev Labs Inc. may collect account, installation, licensing, update, diagnostics, and service usage metadata needed to operate and improve Sleev. Default metadata collection excludes provider API keys and request and response content.
Sleev-managed gateways redact prompt, response, and tool content from diagnostic logs by default. Uploaded bundles include operational metadata and are not intended to contain conversation content. Unexpected failures or nonstandard logging may expose sensitive details. Interactive uploads show a warning and require confirmation; passing --yes to a noninteractive CLI upload explicitly confirms the upload.
Enterprise agreements may include stricter data commitments, including zero-retention terms where required. The Sleev Privacy Policy provides more detail about data handling.
9. Updates
Sleev may check for, download, install, or prompt you to install updates. Updates may change, add, or remove features. Some versions may stop working or stop receiving support after newer versions are released.
Updated versions remain governed by these terms, any accepted updated terms, and any written agreement that applies to you.
10. Support And Availability
Self-serve individual users and self-serve evaluation users receive no guaranteed support, uptime, SLA, or response time.
Enterprise and pilot customers receive only the support commitments stated in their written agreement or order form.
11. Suspension And Termination
Sleev Labs Inc. may suspend or terminate access to Sleev for abuse, illegal use, security risk, violation of these terms, or use outside the allowed license scope.
When your license ends, you must stop using Sleev and delete copies under your control unless a written agreement says otherwise. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, restrictions, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, governing law, and notice terms.
12. Warranty Disclaimer
For self-serve users, Sleev is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind.
Sleev Labs Inc. disclaims all warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Enterprise and pilot customers receive only the warranties stated in their written agreement or order form.
13. Limitation Of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sleev Labs Inc. will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or replacement services.
For free self-serve users and paid individual self-serve users, Sleev Labs Inc.’s total liability for all claims is limited to USD $100.
For enterprise and pilot customers, liability limits are defined by the written agreement or order form.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
14. User Responsibility
You are responsible for claims against Sleev Labs Inc. caused by your misuse, illegal use, violation of these terms, or your own content, credentials, systems, workflows, or instructions.
15. Trademarks
You may say that you use Sleev. You may not use Sleev’s name, logos, or branding in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, resale, official status, or ownership without written permission from Sleev Labs Inc.
16. Children And Minors
Sleev is not directed to children. Users under 13 may not use Sleev. Users under the age of majority where they live may use Sleev only with permission from a parent or legal guardian.
17. Third-Party Software
Sleev may include or be distributed with third-party software. Third-party software is governed by its own license terms and notices. These terms do not limit rights you may have under third-party licenses.
18. Changes To These Terms
Sleev Labs Inc. may update these terms. For material legal changes, Sleev Labs Inc. will give notice by email, website notice, or another appropriate product notice. Some users may be asked to expressly accept updated terms before continued use; existing users may instead receive notice with an effective date, and continued use after that date is governed by the updated terms.
Minor edits, formatting changes, clarifications, or other non-material changes do not require re-acceptance.
19. Governing Law And Venue
These terms are governed by Delaware law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction and venue for disputes relating to these terms or Sleev, unless a written agreement specifies a different governing law or venue.
20. Legal Notices
Legal notices to Sleev Labs Inc. should be sent to support@sleev.ai.
