Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using Headroom ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App. These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Garm Tech B.V., registered in the Netherlands under Chamber of Commerce number 99602075, with registered address at Staalkade 6 O, 1011 JN Amsterdam, the Netherlands ("Garm Tech", "we", "us", "our").

2. What Headroom Does

Headroom is a macOS and Linux desktop application that runs a local proxy on your machine. It intercepts traffic between Claude Code and Anthropic's API, compresses and optimizes prompts locally, and forwards the optimized requests onward. By design, all prompt processing happens on your device. For details on what data is and is not collected, see our Privacy Policy.

3. Account

Some features require creating a Headroom account using your email address. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Free Trial

New users receive a 72-hour local trial without an account, and a 14-day trial upon creating a free account. Trial periods are provided once per user. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue trial offers at any time.

5. Paid Subscriptions

Paid plans are billed on a recurring basis through our payment processor, Polar. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges at the frequency and rate disclosed at checkout. You may cancel at any time through your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and no partial-period refunds are issued for unused time within a paid period. All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes.

Right of withdrawal. If you are a consumer in the European Union, you have the right to withdraw from a subscription purchase within 14 days of the transaction without giving any reason. To exercise this right, contact us at [email protected] within 14 days of your purchase. If you withdraw, we will refund the amount paid for that billing period. This right does not apply to renewal charges after the initial subscription period.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the App or access to it
• Use the App to violate any applicable law or third-party rights
• Attempt to circumvent or interfere with subscription or trial enforcement
• Use the App in a way that places unreasonable load on our infrastructure
• Use the App in any way that violates the terms of service of Anthropic or any other upstream API provider whose services the App interacts with on your behalf

7. Intellectual Property

Headroom and all associated software, trademarks, and content are owned by Garm Tech or its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any rights in Garm Tech's intellectual property beyond the limited license to use the App for your own use.

8. Third-Party Services

The App interacts with Anthropic's Claude API on your behalf. Your use of Claude Code and the Claude API is also subject to Anthropic's own terms and policies. Payments are processed by Polar, subject to Polar's terms. The App also uses third-party services for analytics and error reporting; details of those services and how they handle data are set out in our Privacy Policy. Garm Tech is not responsible for any third-party services.

9. No Warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranty of any kind. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that token savings will meet any particular threshold. Use the App at your own risk.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Garm Tech will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the App, including but not limited to loss of data, lost profits, or service interruptions, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months preceding the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including mandatory statutory rights of consumers.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will notify you by email at the address associated with your account at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Non-material changes will be noted by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, this clause does not affect any mandatory rights you may have to bring or defend proceedings in your country of residence under applicable consumer protection law.

13. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the service. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. If we terminate your account other than for a breach of these Terms on your part, we will refund a pro-rata portion of any prepaid subscription fees for the unused remainder of your current billing period.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a competent court or authority to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
