Terms of use
The short version. Perfica runs AI agents on your computer. They run commands and create, change and delete files in the folders you give them, using AI models you choose and pay for. Models make mistakes, so review what runs and keep backups. Perfica is provided as is. When you use it for free, we answer only for intent or gross negligence; if you pay for Cloud as a consumer, your rights under consumer law stay whole. Section 10 says exactly what we are and are not responsible for. The full terms follow, and they are what counts.
1. Who we are and what these terms cover
Perfica is operated by UEZAR LABS SpA (Uezar Labs), a Chilean company, RUT 78.528.712-6, with its registered address at General del Canto 112, oficina 301, Providencia, Santiago, Chile, represented by its general manager, Isaac Razeu Montillas Montilla (“we”, “us”). These terms cover the Perfica desktop app, the website perfica.dev, and Perfica Cloud if you buy it.
You accept these terms by choosing Accept and continue in the app, or when you buy Perfica Cloud. Visiting perfica.dev does not bind you to anything.
If you use Perfica for an organisation, you confirm you may accept these terms for it, and “you” includes that organisation.
2. What Perfica does
Perfica is a desktop app in which loops of AI agents plan, write, review and test software on your own computer. The agents work in folders you choose, with AI models you choose, and with the permissions you give them.
3. The agents act on your computer
This is the most important section of these terms.
- Agents run commands and change files. Perfica’s agents run commands on your computer and create, change and delete files in the folders you give them. That is what the product is for.
- AI models make mistakes. An agent can run a command you did not expect, change or delete the wrong files, install software, use your network, or write code that is wrong or insecure. No setting removes that possibility.
- You decide what the agents can reach. You choose the folders, the models, the capabilities each agent is granted, and whether the command sandbox and command approvals are on. You are responsible for those choices and for what runs under them.
- Protect what matters before you start. Keep backups and use version control. Review what the agents run and what they change. Use the sandbox and approvals for anything you care about. Do not give agents folders holding data you cannot afford to lose or must not share.
- Check the output before you rely on it. You are responsible for reviewing, testing and securing any code or other output before you use, publish or deploy it.
Perfica’s safeguards (write scopes, the command guard, the sandbox and approvals) reduce these risks. They do not remove them.
4. Your models, your keys
- Bring your own key. Perfica uses AI models through your own accounts with model providers (for example OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter or NVIDIA) or through model servers on your own machine (such as Ollama or LM Studio).
- Their terms apply. Your use of a provider is governed by that provider’s terms and policies, and the provider bills you directly. We are not a party to that relationship and are not responsible for a provider’s service, availability, prices, or what it does with what you send it.
- What you send them. Prompts, and the files, command output and images the agents read, are sent from your computer to the providers you pick. Choose providers whose terms suit your data.
- Your costs. You are responsible for keeping your API keys secure and for what your use costs, including runs you started and left running. Perfica offers limits on passes and on request rates; setting them is up to you.
5. Your content
We claim no rights in your projects, prompts or the output Perfica produces for you. You are responsible for having the rights to what you give the agents. Output from AI models may not be unique, and a provider’s terms may say more about it.
6. Acceptable use
Do not use Perfica to break the law, infringe anyone’s rights, gain unauthorised access to or attack any system, create malware, or run agents on computers or accounts you are not authorised to control. Do not use it in a way that breaks your model providers’ usage policies.
7. The software
- Licence. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to install and use Perfica, which we may end only if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms. You may not sell or sublicense it, or remove its notices.
- Third-party components come under their own licences, listed with the app.
- Updates. The app checks for updates and can download and install them. Features may change or be removed over time.
- Price. The desktop app is free to use with your own keys. Perfica Cloud is an optional paid plan.
8. Accounts and Perfica Cloud
- Accounts are optional. Everything in the desktop app works without one. An account is needed for Perfica Cloud.
- Keep your account secure. You are responsible for activity under your account.
- Price and billing. Perfica Cloud costs US$36 a year, billed yearly. The price shown at checkout is the one that applies. Cloud is sold through Paddle, which acts as merchant of record: Paddle sells the subscription to you, takes payment, handles taxes and issues receipts, and Paddle’s buyer terms apply to the purchase.
- Renewal and cancelling. The subscription renews each year until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in Paddle’s customer portal (the link is in your receipt email) or by writing to [email protected]. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and Cloud stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
- Refunds. You can get a full refund within 14 days of a purchase or a renewal, with no questions asked. This includes, and goes beyond, the 10-day right of withdrawal (derecho de retracto) of Chilean law (Ley 19.496 art. 3 bis) and the 14-day right of withdrawal of EU and UK law. See the refund policy.
- If we stop Cloud. If we discontinue Cloud for reasons other than your breach of these terms, we will refund the unused part of the period you paid for.
- Suspension. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms.
9. No warranty
To the extent the law allows, Perfica is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. That includes any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted or error-free operation, or correct output. If you are a consumer, this section does not affect the guarantees and rights consumer law gives you.
10. Our responsibility
- What we are responsible for. What Perfica itself does wrong: a defect in the app, or Perfica Cloud not doing what these terms say it does.
- What the agents do under your settings. The agents’ commands and file changes are chosen by the AI model you pick, within the folders, capabilities, sandbox and approvals you set (section 3). A loss that comes from a command or change your settings allowed is not a failure of Perfica, unless Perfica went beyond those settings or the loss comes from a defect in Perfica. Where a loss was also caused by not following section 3, for example by having no backup, the law’s rules on shared responsibility apply.
- Free use. When you use Perfica without paying, we are responsible only for harm we cause intentionally or through gross negligence, and for death or personal injury we cause by negligence.
- If you are a consumer. If you pay for Perfica Cloud as a consumer, you keep every right to compensation the consumer law of your country gives you, including in Chile the right to adequate compensation under Ley 19.496, and nothing in this section limits it.
- If you are a business. If you use Perfica for a business and are not a consumer under the law that applies to you (in Chile, this excludes micro and small companies protected by Ley 20.416), we are not liable for lost profits, revenue or business, or for losses that could not have been foreseen when you accepted these terms, and our total liability is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the event and US$100.
- Always. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct (dolo) or gross negligence, or any liability the law does not allow to be limited.
11. Responsibility for misuse
- If you are a consumer. If you break these terms or the law and that causes us loss, you are responsible for it as the law provides, and no more.
- If you are a business. You will cover our reasonable costs and losses, including reasonable legal fees, from a claim by someone else that results from your breach of section 6 or from content you gave the agents, except to the extent the claim results from our own breach or fault. We will tell you about the claim promptly, let you take over its defence, and not settle it for you without your consent.
12. Ending
You can stop using Perfica at any time by uninstalling it, and cancel Cloud as described above. We may stop offering Perfica or any part of it. Sections 3, 5, 9, 10, 11 and 14 continue to apply after your use ends.
13. Changes to these terms
We may change these terms. We will publish the new version on this page with a new version number and effective date. When the terms or the privacy policy change, the app asks you to accept the new version before agents work on your computer again. If you do not accept it, stop using Perfica; if you have Cloud, you can cancel it. If you have Cloud and a change is to your disadvantage, it applies to your subscription from your next renewal; until then the terms you accepted keep applying, and you can cancel before the renewal if you do not want the change.
14. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Chile. Disputes with businesses go to the courts of Santiago, Chile. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and your right to go to the courts or consumer authorities there. If you are a consumer in Chile, you can take a claim to the juzgado de policía local of your own domicile or of ours, as you choose (Ley 19.496 art. 50 A), or go to the Servicio Nacional del Consumidor (SERNAC), and you can always go to the competent court.
15. Language
These terms are published in English and Spanish. If you are a consumer in Chile, the Spanish version controls. In other cases, if the versions differ, the English version controls, unless the law of your country gives you the more favourable one.
