14. Sustainability and End of Life

We believe you should own your tools, not just rent them.

In the event that Intentioned ceases commercial operations, dissolves, or enters bankruptcy ("End of Life" or "EOL"), we grant all existing paid license holders a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the last stable local version of the Application indefinitely. This license will be provided via a downloadable package or repository access and be Copylefted via a GPL license to protect our legacy and your future with our product.

Our Promise:

Note: This pledge applies to the local execution of the software. External dependencies (e.g., third-party APIs like OpenAI or Anthropic) are subject to their own availability and are not covered by this pledge.

We also have the right to reclaim any rented technology or services that are not part of the local software itself, such as cloud hosting, online demos, or proprietary AI models that require server-side processing in the event of a bankruptcy, but a local only copy that you can run on your own hardware will still be given to you.
