Terms of Service

Last updated: 27 June 2026

1. Acceptance

By using Thuban ("the Service"), you agree to these terms. Thuban is operated by Orionos AI Ltd. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. What Thuban Does

Thuban is a command-line code health engine. It scans, analyses, and optionally fixes source code files on your local machine. It runs entirely locally — your code is never transmitted to our servers.

3. Accounts and Licensing

• Free tier: 5 scans per month, up to 100 files per scan. No account required.
• Pro tier (£19/month): Unlimited scans, auto-fix, dashboards, all detection features. Requires a valid subscription via Stripe.
• Team tier (£99/month): Everything in Pro plus CI integration, team dashboards, config file support. Up to 25 developers.
• Enterprise: Custom pricing and terms. Contact us.

License keys are tied to a machine identifier stored locally in ~/.thuban/. One license per machine unless otherwise agreed.

4. Payment and Billing

Payments are processed by Stripe. Subscriptions renew monthly. You may cancel at any time from your Stripe billing portal. Upon cancellation, you retain access until the end of your current billing period, then revert to the free tier.

All fixes already applied to your code remain — they are in your files. All reports already generated remain on your machine. You lose access to Pro/Team features only.

5. Your Code and Data

• Thuban runs locally. Your source code is never uploaded, transmitted, or stored by us.
• When scanning a GitHub URL, Thuban shallow-clones the repository to a temporary directory on your machine, scans it, and deletes the temporary copy immediately. Nothing is retained.
• Optional anonymous telemetry (file count, health score, grade, OS, scan duration) can be enabled with thuban telemetry --on. It is disabled by default. No code, file paths, or personally identifiable information is ever transmitted.
• A machine identifier is generated and stored locally for license validation. It is not transmitted unless telemetry is explicitly enabled.

6. Auto-Fix

Thuban's auto-fix feature modifies source files on your machine. By using --fix, you accept responsibility for reviewing the changes. We strongly recommend:

• Using thuban fix . (dry run) to preview changes first
• Using --commit to create reversible git commits
• Reviewing diffs before pushing to production

Thuban is not liable for any issues caused by auto-fix modifications to your code.

7. Availability

Thuban is distributed via npm and runs locally. We do not guarantee uptime of the npm registry, GitHub Pages website, or Stripe payment processing, as these are third-party services.

8. Intellectual Property

Thuban is the property of Orionos AI Ltd. "Thuban", the Thuban logo, and "Mother Code DNA" are trademarks of Orionos AI Ltd. You may not redistribute, reverse-engineer, or resell Thuban without written permission.

9. Limitation of Liability

Thuban is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for any damages arising from the use of Thuban, including but not limited to data loss, code corruption, or business interruption. Our total liability is limited to the amount you have paid for Thuban in the 12 months preceding the claim.

10. Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use of Thuban after changes constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be announced on thuban.dev.
