These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your download and use of the EditVolt desktop application ("the Software") and this website. By downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.
2. License
The Software is proprietary software, licensed, not sold. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on devices you own or control, for your own development work, subject to these Terms.
You may not: (a) copy the Software except as reasonably necessary for backup; (b) modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the Software; (c) redistribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise make the Software available to third parties; (d) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction; or (e) remove or alter any proprietary notices in the Software.
The Software incorporates open-source components (including Code-OSS) that are licensed under their own terms. Those components' licenses and attributions are listed in the third-party notices distributed with the Software, and nothing in these Terms limits any rights those licenses grant you with respect to those components.
The EditVolt name and logo are trademarks of the EditVolt project and may not be used without permission.
3. Beta software
EditVolt is currently pre-release software. It may contain defects, change significantly between releases, or occasionally lose data. Keep your work under version control and back up anything important. Features described on this website may change or be removed before general availability.
4. AI features and generated content
The Software includes features powered by artificial-intelligence models, including models operated by third parties you choose to connect. You acknowledge and agree that:
- AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, insecure, or unsuitable for your purpose. You are responsible for reviewing all AI-generated code and content before using it, and for anything you build, ship, commit, or execute with it.
- Agent features can edit files and run commands with your consent. You are responsible for the consent levels you configure and for reviewing staged changes before approving them.
- You are responsible for the content you submit to AI providers, including ensuring you have the right to share any code or data you include in prompts and context.
- Ownership and permitted use of AI-generated output are determined by the terms of the AI provider that generated it; EditVolt claims no rights over your prompts or the output you receive.
5. Third-party services and your keys
The Software connects, at your direction, to third-party services — AI providers (such as Anthropic, Google, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), the Open VSX extension marketplace, and package registries. Your use of each service is governed solely by that service's own terms, and:
- API keys and accounts you connect are yours; you are responsible for all fees charged by providers under your keys and for keeping your keys secure.
- Extensions you install are third-party software; EditVolt is not responsible for their behavior.
- Third-party services may change or discontinue their APIs at any time, which may affect Software features.
6. Acceptable use
You agree to use the Software only in compliance with applicable law and with the acceptable-use policies of any AI provider you connect. You may not use the Software to develop or distribute malware, to infringe others' intellectual-property rights, or to violate the security of systems you are not authorized to access.
7. Privacy
EditVolt collects no telemetry or personal data. How the Software handles your data is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
8. Updates
The Software periodically checks our update server for new versions and may notify you or download updates. You can disable automatic updates in settings and install releases manually instead.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI output will be accurate or fit for any purpose.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE EDITVOLT PROJECT OR ITS CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY — INCLUDING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR COSTS INCURRED WITH THIRD-PARTY SERVICES — ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR ITS USE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be noted in the release notes and reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Software after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Software shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
