Terms of Service

1. Who and what

konnos is open-source Git hosting: a place to store, share, and collaborate on code repositories. The hosted service is operated by flndrn, Arch. Makariou III 171, Vanezis Business Center, 4th floor, 3027 Limassol, Cyprus, with day-to-day development carried out from Flanders, Belgium. These Terms apply only to the hosted service we run — not to copies you self-host (see section 9).

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use konnos. By using the service you confirm that you meet this requirement and that you can form a binding agreement under the laws that apply to you. If you use konnos on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these Terms for it.

3. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your sign-in method secure — your magic-link inbox, your linked identity provider, and any SSH keys or API keys you create. You are responsible for all activity under your account. One person should hold one account; do not share a single account between several people. You can invite teammates into organisations and teams so that each person keeps their own login.

4. The service

konnos provides Git hosting and the features around it, including: repositories over both SSH and HTTPS; organisations and teams; issues; webhooks; and a built-in MCP server so AI tools can work with your repositories with your permission. Your repositories are stored as bare Git repositories on disk — they are just files, so your code survives even if the surrounding database has a problem.

konnos is open source. The Git engine is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and is self-hostable; the CLI, web app, and client SDKs are licensed under MIT. The source is currently available at github.com/flndrn-dev/konnos.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use konnos to:

• break the law — including EU and Belgian law — or help anyone else do so;
• send spam, or host content that infringes someone else's intellectual-property or other rights;
• store, share, or distribute child sexual abuse material (CSAM). We will terminate the account immediately and report it to the competent authorities;
• probe, scan, overload, or otherwise attempt to compromise konnos infrastructure or other users' data;
• run crypto-mining, denial-of-service, or other workloads that abuse shared resources; or
• operate konnos as a separate paying entity's production service on a free tier — paid use needs a paid plan once those launch.

6. Your content

Your repositories and their contents are yours. You keep all the rights you had before — using konnos does not transfer ownership of your code to us. You grant us only the limited licence we need to host, store, serve, and back up your content so the service works, and to show it to the people you give access to.

Git is portable by design. You can clone, push, and export your repositories at any time, and we provide a data export. There is no proprietary lock-in — your history travels with you.

7. Fees

During Phase 0 (private alpha), konnos is free to use. When paid tiers launch, their prices and what they include will be published at konnos.org/pricing, and any new charges will be announced at least 30 days in advance. You will never be charged without clear notice and a choice.

8. Alpha disclaimer

konnos is in an early alpha phase. We do not guarantee any particular uptime, and features may change. Where we make a change that affects how you use the service, we aim to give you about a week's notice. For details on how we run and protect the platform, see our Trust page.

9. Open source & self-hosting

Because the konnos engine is AGPL-3.0, you are free to run your own copy. If you self-host konnos, these Terms do not apply to your instance — you are the operator of it. We provide the self-hostable engine with no warranty and no support obligation; you run it at your own responsibility under the AGPL.

10. Intellectual property

The konnos name, logo, and brand belong to the Operator and are not covered by the open-source licences. The software itself is licensed as set out above: the engine under AGPL-3.0, and the CLI, web app, and SDKs under MIT.

11. Suspension and termination

You can close your account at any time in Settings. After deletion, we keep a 30-day window during which the action can be reversed, after which the data is permanently removed. We may suspend or terminate access if these Terms are broken or as the law requires.

If we ever decide to discontinue the hosted service, we will give at least 90 days' notice so you can export your repositories — and because the engine is AGPL-3.0, you can continue by self-hosting.

12. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms removes or limits any rights you have as a consumer under EU law that cannot be waived.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim relating to the service is capped at the greater of the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or €100. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses. This cap does not apply to liability for fraud or gross negligence, or to anything else that cannot be limited under applicable law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to cover us for reasonable claims, losses, and costs that arise from your unlawful use of the service, your content, or your breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.

15. Modifications

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will announce them and email registered users at least 30 days before they take effect, and we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by Belgian law. Any dispute will be brought before the courts of Antwerp, Belgium, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have in your country of residence.
