Terms of Service

1. Scope and contact

These terms apply to the Atlas website, alpha-access program and purchases offered by Cuber Labs, the publisher of Atlas File Manager. Contact support@modhyt.org for support, license delivery, refunds or questions about these terms. The privacy policy explains how personal information is processed.

The software license supplied with your build governs use of the application. These website terms do not replace that license, a third-party component's license, or mandatory consumer rights. If a provision conflicts with rights granted by an applicable open-source license, those license rights prevail.

2. Alpha access and product availability

Atlas is under active development. The free Windows alpha is available on the Microsoft Store and does not require buying a paid plan. A downloaded free alpha version does not expire merely because the alpha program ends.

Alpha software can contain defects, incomplete functions and compatibility limitations. Back up important files before using file operations, cleanup, conversion or encryption. Review deletion and overwrite confirmations and protect encryption passphrases. Performance examples describe particular tests and are not guaranteed on every computer.

Features and operating-system support are those documented for the build you receive. Linux is in development and macOS is on the roadmap; a roadmap item is not a currently delivered feature or a guaranteed release date.

3. Paid website plans and included rights

Founding License is a one-time purchase covering the offer for up to five Windows PCs and the final 1.0 license. Lifetime Pro is a supporter plan that exists mainly to support the creators of Atlas; it covers the offer for up to ten Windows PCs and includes future major upgrades and Pro features as they are released. Current features, price, taxes and the selected plan are shown before payment. There is no recurring subscription for these plans.

Lifetime refers to the permanent entitlement for the purchased software versions and the upgrades expressly included in the offer. It does not guarantee perpetual hosting, indefinite support or delivery of every roadmap proposal. An unreleased Pro feature must be described as upcoming, not as available today.

Commercial use is permitted under the software license applicable to your copy. Buying a plan does not remove rights already granted by the AGPL, GPL, MPL or other applicable open-source licenses. Device counts describe paid-plan entitlements and support; they do not impose additional restrictions on copying or modifying components under their open-source licenses.

Free and Full builds may have different limits. Where the Free edition is offered, it permits up to two panes, two profiles, one saved cloud connection, up to ten conversions per day, up to 25 files per batch rename and one source file per conversion operation. A build change may be required to obtain Full features; a purchase must not be presented as an automatic in-app unlock unless that activation method is actually available. Your purchase confirmation and the offer identify the delivery method and entitlement.

4. Checkout, delivery and refunds

Polar handles website checkout and payment processing. Review the total amount, currency, taxes and applicable checkout terms before paying. If checkout cannot confirm the advertised offer, do not proceed; contact support@modhyt.org. Keep your order confirmation so we can help with delivery or a refund.

Website plans advertised with a 14-day money-back guarantee can be refunded by contacting support@modhyt.org within 14 days of purchase and providing the order identifier or purchase email. This guarantee is additional to mandatory consumer rights, including any applicable withdrawal or refund rights. We do not require you to post private payment information publicly.

Microsoft Store purchases are separate from purchases on this website. The Store listing specifies the price and entitlement for that channel; Microsoft handles its checkout and refund process. Do not assume that an external plan is included in a Store purchase unless its listing explicitly says so. These terms do not restrict rights granted by Microsoft's applicable customer terms.

5. Third-party software and optional services

Atlas includes third-party libraries, fonts, icons and tools. Their copyright notices and license terms are provided with the application and on the Third-party licenses page. They remain under their respective licenses; the Atlas website terms do not relicense them.

The repository identifies Atlas workspace code as AGPL-3.0-or-later. Components with copyleft licenses may require corresponding source and other materials to accompany distribution. The license and source information supplied with the exact release determine those rights; a plan purchase does not waive them.

Cloud accounts, external applications and downloaded extensions or conversion tools are optional and can have their own licenses, requirements and fees. You authorize data transfers when you connect a service or request an operation involving it. You are responsible for having permission to access and manage those files.

Mounting encrypted private folders on Windows uses WinFsp, an optional filesystem driver. Atlas can run without it. If you request installation, Atlas downloads the pinned official installer, verifies its SHA-256 and launches Windows Installer with a progress interface. Review WinFsp's license before choosing installation and approve any Windows administrator prompt yourself. Device policies, cancellation or a required restart can prevent immediate mounting. The driver and the Rust bindings have their own license terms.

6. Acceptable use and intellectual property

Use Atlas and the website lawfully. Do not use them to access files or accounts without authorization, introduce malware, attack the service or infringe another person's rights. Keep copyright and license notices where the applicable license requires them.

Atlas branding, website materials and third-party marks remain with their respective owners. This does not limit modification, redistribution, reverse engineering or other activities permitted by the software's applicable license or mandatory law. A third-party logo or resource does not imply endorsement of Atlas.

7. Support, warranties and liability

We provide support through support@modhyt.org and the official community. We do not promise a particular response time unless a specific support agreement provides one. Report suspected security issues privately to support@modhyt.org and avoid sending unrelated confidential files.

To the extent permitted by law and subject to your purchase terms and mandatory consumer rights, development builds and website materials are provided as available without a guarantee of uninterrupted operation or fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liabilities that the law does not allow us to exclude. Applicable open-source license warranty and liability provisions continue to govern their components.

Backups, confirmation prompts and encryption do not eliminate all risks. If an operation fails, stop and contact support before repeating actions that could overwrite or delete data.

8. Changes, service discontinuation and disputes

The date above identifies these terms. Changes to the website do not retroactively remove a purchased entitlement, an existing open-source license right or a mandatory consumer right. Material changes to an ongoing service will be communicated where required.

If a product or service is discontinued, we will provide the notices and remedies required by law and the applicable purchase terms. A permanent license to an already delivered version is not converted into a subscription by discontinuation.

Contact support@modhyt.org first so we can try to resolve a problem. These terms do not require arbitration, waive statutory remedies or prevent you from using courts or consumer-protection authorities available under applicable law.
