Cloaksmith — End User Licence Agreement

Effective date: 18 July 2026 Developer: Barton Hall Software Pty Ltd (ACN 700 196 809) ("we", "us", "the Developer") Contact: hello@cloaksmith.app

This End User Licence Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you ("you") and the Developer for the Cloaksmith software application ("the App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

1. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on up to three (3) Apple computers that you own or control, for your own personal or internal business use, in accordance with this Agreement. Your licence key is for you alone: you must not share, publish, or resell it. The App may refuse activation of a key that has already been used on the permitted number of computers; to move your licence to a new Mac, contact hello@cloaksmith.app.

The App and the Model (defined in section 4) are licensed, not sold. We and our licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement.

2. What the App does

The App detects personal information in documents you open and produces a redacted copy in which the personal information it detects is removed or replaced with stand-ins. All processing happens on your device. Your documents are not uploaded to us or to any third party (see the Privacy Policy).

3. No guarantee that all personal information is removed

The App removes the personal information it detects. It does not, and cannot, guarantee that every piece of personal information has been detected or removed. Automated detection is imperfect: it may miss information, and it may remove information you wanted to keep.

You are responsible for reviewing every redacted copy before you share it. Do not rely on the App as your only safeguard for highly sensitive material. The trust indicators in the App describe the action performed; they are not a warranty that the output is free of personal information.

4. Ownership and the on-device model

The App includes an on-device machine-learning model developed by the Developer (the "Model"), which the App downloads in encrypted form on first run and decrypts solely for the App's own use.

The App and the Model — including the Model's weights, parameters, architecture, and configuration as shipped with the App — are and remain the property of the Developer and its licensors, and are protected by intellectual-property laws and by this Agreement. The Model constitutes the Developer's confidential information and valuable trade secrets, and is supplied in encrypted form as a technological protection measure.

The Model is proprietary. It is a derivative of an openly licensed base model (see section 6 and the App's Acknowledgements for attribution); however, the Model as shipped with the App is not open-source software, and no licence applying to the base model grants you any right in, or to extract, use, or redistribute, the Model as shipped.

You acknowledge that unauthorised extraction, disclosure, use, or distribution of the Model would cause the Developer harm that damages alone may not adequately compensate, and that the Developer may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of any actual or threatened breach of this section or section 5, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have.

5. Restrictions

Except to the extent a particular restriction cannot lawfully be imposed on you (including any statutory right that cannot be excluded, such as rights relating to interoperability under Division 4A of Part III of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth)), you must not, and must not permit, direct, or assist any other person to:

• copy, reproduce, redistribute, publish, upload, host, sublicense, rent, lease, sell, or otherwise commercialise or make available the App or the Model, in whole or in part;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or decode the App or the Model, or otherwise attempt to derive the App's source code or the Model's weights, parameters, or architecture;
• extract, copy, reconstruct, or recover the Model or any part of it from the App, its distribution artifacts, files, caches, temporary files, or process memory, or retain any decrypted copy of the Model;
• use the Model or any part or reproduction of it separately from the App for any purpose, including to operate a product or service, or to train, fine-tune, distil, evaluate against, or otherwise develop or improve any other model, software, or system;
• circumvent, disable, defeat, or interfere with any technological protection or licensing measure of the App, including the Model's encryption or decryption keys, licence-key activation, activation limits, or trial limitations;
• share, publish, sell, or transfer your licence key, or activate the App on more computers than permitted by section 1;
• remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notice on or in the App; or
• use the App to break the law or to infringe any person's rights.

6. Third-party components

The App includes third-party open-source components licensed under their own terms. Those terms are reproduced in the App's Acknowledgements (see Settings → Legal) and prevail over this Agreement for those components.

The Model is not a third-party component: it is the Developer's proprietary model, derived from an openly licensed base model. The base model's licence text and required attribution are reproduced in the Acknowledgements to satisfy that licence's notice requirements only; nothing in the Acknowledgements grants you any licence in, or any right to extract or redistribute, the Model as shipped with the App.

7. Updates and first-run download

On first run the App downloads its on-device engine (an encrypted model file) from our hosting endpoint. The App may offer updates from time to time. This Agreement governs any updates unless an update is accompanied by its own terms.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to section 9, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that it will detect or remove all personal information.

9. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy that you have under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), including the Australian Consumer Law, or any other law, that cannot lawfully be excluded or modified. Where our liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee can be limited, our liability is limited, at our option, to re-supplying the App or paying the cost of re-supplying it.

10. Limitation of liability

Subject to section 9, to the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the App or this Agreement is limited to the amount you paid for the App. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, however arising, even if advised of the possibility of such loss. In particular, we are not liable for any consequence of personal information that the App did not detect or remove.

11. Privacy

Your use of the App is subject to the App's Privacy Policy (Settings → Legal), which describes what the App does and does not collect.

12. Termination

This Agreement applies until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using the App, delete your copies of the App, and delete any copy of the Model in your possession or control. Sections 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, and 13 survive termination.

13. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia and of the State or Territory in which the Developer has its registered office, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that place.
