Release preview. Publisher contact details are being finalised for the public alpha.
About these terms
These terms describe use of the Mars website and the publicly distributed Mars desktop application and CLI. Mars is proprietary software offered free of charge in this public alpha. These terms do not replace the separate terms of your model providers or other connected services.
Mars is an independent software project. Publisher and contact details for the public release are pending confirmation. This preview is a draft for the upcoming release.
Using Mars
You may use the released Mars application for personal or commercial work without a Mars subscription, subject to these terms and applicable law. Use only accounts, data, projects and systems you own or are authorised to access.
Free use does not make Mars open-source software or grant rights to its source code, branding or redistribution beyond any separate written licence. Third-party components remain subject to their own licences and notices.
Provider accounts and costs
You supply and manage your own model connections and API keys. You are responsible for provider usage charges and any costs from remote servers or connected services. Mars does not set those providers’ prices.
Task token budgets are execution controls, not a guarantee of a final invoice amount. Monitor your provider’s usage and spending controls. Any future paid offering would need its own clearly stated terms; this alpha does not enrol you in a paid Mars subscription.
Permissions and authorised access
The agent can read files, change projects and run commands within the access available to it. Review the permission mode, workspace, SSH account and connected tools before starting a task.
Bypass permissions allows supported actions without Mars approval prompts. It does not grant administrator, root or additional SSH privileges. You remain responsible for deciding which systems and actions the agent is authorised to use. Do not use Mars to gain unauthorised access, distribute malware or violate others’ rights.
Your work and AI output
These terms do not transfer ownership of your projects or inputs to Mars. Rights in model output may depend on your provider’s terms, applicable law and third-party rights. Mars does not promise that generated output is unique, accurate, secure or free of third-party claims.
Review code, commands and other output before relying on them or publishing them. Keep backups and use appropriate checks, particularly for changes to production systems. A displayed completion status or passing check is not a guarantee that all defects have been found.
Public alpha limitations
This is early software. Features may change, tasks may fail, and updates may alter behaviour or compatibility. No service-level, uninterrupted-operation or task-completion guarantee is offered for the free alpha.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the alpha is provided as available, without additional warranties. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or responsibilities that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.
Privacy and external services
Read the Privacy Policy for how the website and application handle data. Your selected providers and connected services operate under their own terms and policies. Choosing a connection can send task content outside your device.
Changes and stopping use
You can stop using Mars at any time. Removing the application does not cancel provider accounts, erase all local or remote data, or reverse changes made by tools.
Updates to these terms will be identified by the date on this page. Review the terms provided with future releases before using them. Questions about the public release will use the publisher’s contact details once confirmed.
