Legal
Terms of Service
Clear, fair terms for a tool you actually own. Please read them before using Obsydian Lab.
Last updated: June 13, 2026
1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Obsydian Lab, a desktop code editor and related websites, license services and software updates (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, downloading, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Accounts
You sign in using a third-party identity provider (Google, via Supabase). You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping access to your sign-in method secure. You must be at least 16 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service.
3. License to use the software
Subject to these Terms and an active subscription (or valid trial), we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Obsydian Lab on devices you control, for your own development work.
You may not, except where the law forbids restricting it:
- resell, sublicense, rent or share your license key or account;
- circumvent license validation, quota metering or technical protections;
- reverse engineer the Service except to the extent expressly permitted by law; or
- use the Service to build a directly competing product.
4. Subscriptions, billing and trials
Paid plans are sold as recurring subscriptions and processed by our merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy, who handles payment, taxes and invoicing. By subscribing you authorize recurring charges to your payment method until you cancel.
- Trial. The 14-day free trial requires no card. Unless you subscribe, access ends when the trial expires.
- Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically each billing period at the then-current price for your plan.
- Cancellation. You may cancel anytime from your dashboard or billing portal; access continues until the end of the paid period.
- Price changes. We may change prices with notice; changes apply to the next renewal.
5. Refunds
Because a free trial lets you evaluate the Service before paying, fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law. Refund requests are handled by Lemon Squeezy in accordance with its buyer terms; contact support@obsydianlab.com and we will help.
6. AI features and your content
Obsydian Lab is local-first. Your code and files remain on your device. Included-AI engines (Obsydian Turbo/Apex) are metered by quota; when you bring your own provider keys, requests go directly to that provider and are governed by that provider's terms.
You retain all rights to the code and content you create. You are responsible for your use of AI output, including reviewing it for correctness, security and licensing before relying on it. AI output may be inaccurate or may resemble third-party material; the Service is a tool, not a substitute for your judgment.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to violate the law or others' rights, to develop malware or conduct attacks, or to abuse our infrastructure (including the included-AI engines) beyond your plan's fair limits. We may suspend accounts that threaten the security or integrity of the Service.
8. Our intellectual property
The Service, including its software, branding ("Obsydian Lab", "Obsydian Turbo", "Obsydian Apex") and website, is owned by us and our licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you no rights in our marks.
9. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI output will be accurate.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.
11. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms or to protect the Service. On termination your license ends; sections that by their nature should survive (such as IP, disclaimers and liability) will survive.
12. Governing law and changes
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at our principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. We may update these Terms; material changes take effect on the "last updated" date above and, where appropriate, with in-app or email notice. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
