License

Maybe Don’t ships two things under two different licenses: the gateway software itself (free, open source, self-hosted or not) and paid Support Services (Teams and Enterprise plans, purchased under an Order Form). This page covers both.

Open Source License

The Maybe Don’t gateway — the maybe-dont binary, Docker image, and Homebrew formula — is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. The license text ships with every release and lives in the source repository:

Source code: github.com/maybedont/maybe-dont
License text: LICENSE

Apache 2.0 permits you to use, modify, and redistribute the Software — including in derivative and commercial products — subject to the license’s attribution and notice requirements. Nothing on this page or in the Commercial Agreement below restricts those rights for anyone using the open source Software without a paid Order Form.

Commercial & Support Services Agreement

Effective: Jan 1, 2026

The terms below apply only to customers who have executed an Order Form for Teams, Enterprise, or other paid offerings from Maybe Don’t, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as “Maybe Don’t, AI” (“Company”). If you’re using the free, self-hosted, open source Software without an Order Form, this section does not apply to you — see Open Source License above instead.

This Customer License Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Company and the customer (“Licensee”) named on an Order Form. By executing an Order Form, Licensee agrees to be bound by these terms with respect to Support Services and any Company-hosted Offerings.

1. Definitions

“Documentation” — Technical documentation, user guides, and specifications provided with the Software.

“Error” — Any reproducible failure of the Software to conform materially with the Documentation.

“Fees” — All fees specified in an Order Form payable by Licensee.

“Licensee Data” — Any data, content, or information provided by Licensee in connection with use of the Offerings.

“Offerings” — Support Services and any professional or hosted services ordered by Licensee, together with related Documentation.

“Order Form” — Company’s form describing Offerings purchased and applicable Fees.

“Software” — Company’s Maybe Don’t AI gateway software, including Updates and Enhancements, licensed to all users (paid and unpaid) under the Apache License, Version 2.0 as described above.

“Support Services” — Technical support services as described in Exhibit A.

“Update” — Any new version of the Software issued by Company.

2. Scope of This Agreement

This Agreement governs Support Services and any Company-hosted or managed Offerings purchased under an Order Form. It does not modify, restrict, or supersede the Apache License, Version 2.0 under which the Software itself is distributed. Licensee’s rights to install, use, modify, and redistribute the Software come from the Apache License; this Agreement covers only what Company additionally provides under an Order Form — support, hosted infrastructure, custom policy development, and similar services.

2.1 Software Warranty

For paid Licensees under an active Order Form, Company warrants that the Software will perform substantially in accordance with Documentation for thirty (30) days from delivery. Licensee’s sole remedy is notification within this period, and Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct defects.

3. Restrictions on Support Services

In connection with Support Services purchased under an Order Form, Licensee shall not:

a. Permit third parties to use Support Services for their own purposes b. Use Support Services on a service bureau or time-sharing basis c. Remove Company’s proprietary notices from Documentation or support materials d. Publish benchmark results involving Support Services without Company’s written consent

Nothing in this section restricts Licensee’s rights under the Apache License with respect to the Software itself.

4. Proprietary Rights

Company Ownership: Company retains all ownership and proprietary rights in the Offerings (Support Services and related materials), including all copies, Updates, and derivatives of those Offerings. This does not affect the Apache License grant covering the Software.

Licensee Data: Licensee retains all rights to Licensee Data. Licensee grants Company a limited license to use Licensee Data solely to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Feedback: If Licensee provides feedback regarding the Offerings, Licensee grants Company a perpetual, royalty-free license to use such feedback.

5. Fees and Payment

Fees are set forth in each Order Form and are non-refundable unless otherwise stated.
Payment is due in U.S. dollars within thirty (30) days of invoice.
Fees exclude taxes; Licensee is responsible for all applicable taxes.
Past due amounts accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum legal rate.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 2.1, COMPANY PROVIDES THE OFFERINGS “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT SUPPORT SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED.
The Software itself is provided “AS IS” under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0, Section 7 (Disclaimer of Warranty).

7. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY LICENSEE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

8. Indemnification

By Licensee: Licensee will defend and indemnify Company against claims arising from Licensee Data or breach of Section 3.

By Company: Company will defend and indemnify Licensee against claims that the Offerings infringe valid U.S. intellectual property rights, except where caused by modifications, misuse, or combination with third-party products.

9. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to protect the other’s confidential information using reasonable care. Confidential information excludes information that is publicly known, independently developed, or rightfully obtained from third parties.

10. Term and Termination

Term: This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues for the period in the Order Form, or one (1) year if not specified, with automatic annual renewal unless either party provides ninety (90) days’ written notice of non-renewal.
Termination: Either party may terminate for material breach uncured after thirty (30) days’ notice, or for insolvency.
Effect: Upon termination, Support Services and any Company-hosted Offerings end and Licensee must cease use of any Company-hosted infrastructure provided under the Order Form. Licensee’s rights to the Software under the Apache License are unaffected.

11. General Provisions

Governing Law: This Agreement is governed by Delaware law. Disputes shall be resolved in Delaware state or federal courts.
Assignment: Licensee may not assign this Agreement without Company’s written consent.
Entire Agreement: This Agreement and all Order Forms constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding Support Services.
Severability: Invalid provisions shall be modified to be enforceable; remaining provisions continue in effect.
Force Majeure: Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control.
