Nexus End User License Agreement

Last updated: September 2, 2026

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you, either an individual or an entity you represent ("You" or "User"), and Nawrass Andaloussi Dahman, an individual developer based in Morocco and the creator and current operator of the Nexus software ("Nexus," "we," "us," or "our").

This Agreement governs your download, installation, access to, and use of the Nexus desktop application, including its software, features, updates, and accompanying documentation (collectively, the "Software").

Nexus is currently an independently developed software product operated by Nawrass Andaloussi Dahman. No corporation named "Nexus, Inc." currently operates the Software or is a party to this Agreement. If Nexus is later transferred to or operated by a separate legal entity, this Agreement may be updated accordingly.

BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, ACCESSING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, ACCESS, OR USE THE SOFTWARE.

1. Definitions

"Software" means the Nexus desktop application in object-code form, including its features, updates, and accompanying documentation. The Software does not include source code that is not expressly provided or licensed to you.

"Your Content" means notes, text, files, information, browser-related content, AI conversation history, and other content that you create, import, access, or store using the Software.

"Third-Party Provider" means an external service provider that you choose to connect to or use through the Software, including an AI provider accessed using credentials or an API key supplied by you.

"Nexus" means the Nexus software product and, where the context requires, Nawrass Andaloussi Dahman as the current developer and operator of the Software.

2. Grant of License

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Nawrass Andaloussi Dahman grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the Software in object-code form for your personal or internal business purposes on devices that you own or are authorized to control.

This license does not transfer ownership of the Software or any intellectual property rights to you.

All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved by Nawrass Andaloussi Dahman.

3. Restrictions

You shall not, and shall not knowingly permit or assist any third party to:

(a) copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Software, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
(b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive or access the source code, underlying structure, algorithms, or proprietary components of the Software, except to the limited extent that such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
(c) distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, lend, publish, or otherwise transfer the Software or rights granted under this Agreement to a third party, except as expressly authorized by Nexus;
(d) remove, alter, or obscure copyright, trademark, licensing, or other proprietary notices contained in or accompanying the Software;
(e) use the Software to develop, train, or improve a competing product or service, to the extent permitted by applicable law;
(f) circumvent, disable, or interfere with security, licensing, authentication, or other technical protections incorporated into the Software;
(g) use the Software to violate any applicable law or regulation;
(h) intentionally interfere with the normal operation of the Software or attempt to gain unauthorized access to functionality that is not made available to you.

Nothing in this section is intended to restrict rights that cannot legally be restricted under applicable law.

4. Ownership and Intellectual Property

The Software is licensed, not sold.

All rights, title, and interest in and to the proprietary portions of the Software, including its source code, object code, architecture, design, user interface, documentation, graphics, logos, and other proprietary elements, are owned by or licensed to Nawrass Andaloussi Dahman, except for third-party materials that are subject to their own licenses.

Nothing in this Agreement grants you ownership of the Software or any intellectual property rights in the Software except for the limited license expressly granted in Section 2.

The Nexus name, logo, and other branding are proprietary assets of Nexus and/or Nawrass Andaloussi Dahman to the extent protected by applicable law.

Feedback

If you voluntarily provide suggestions, ideas, bug reports, feature requests, or other feedback regarding the Software ("Feedback"), you grant Nawrass Andaloussi Dahman a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, and sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, and otherwise exploit that Feedback for any lawful purpose without compensation or attribution to you.

5. Local-First Architecture and Your Content

Nexus is designed as a local-first desktop application.

Nexus does not currently operate a cloud service through which your local workspace is routinely synchronized or stored.

(a) Local Storage

Your Content is primarily stored locally on your device.

Nexus stores notes and related workspace data in local application storage, including a local SQLite database where applicable.

Nexus does not currently require you to create a Nexus online account to use the Software and does not currently require your notes to be uploaded to a Nexus-operated cloud service.

Your local workspace remains on your device unless you explicitly choose to export, back up, copy, synchronize, or otherwise transmit it through a feature or external service.

(b) Local Search

Nexus's semantic search functionality is designed to operate locally on your device.

Where Nexus uses an embedding model for semantic search, the model is intended to run locally rather than requiring your notes to be uploaded to a Nexus-operated server for indexing.

(c) Local Version History and Trash

Nexus may maintain version history, deleted content, and related workspace information locally on your device.

These features are designed to operate on your local workspace and are not intended to upload your content to Nexus-operated servers.

(d) Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) AI

Nexus's optional AI Assistant uses a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model where supported.

To use the AI Assistant, you may provide credentials, such as an API key, for an AI provider or other Third-Party Provider that you choose.

When you submit a request through the AI Assistant, information necessary to process that request may be transmitted from your device to the Third-Party Provider you selected.

Depending on your request and configuration, this information may include:

the message you submitted;
relevant portions of Your Content;
relevant information from a web page being used as context; and
other information necessary for the Third-Party Provider to generate a response.

The exact information transmitted depends on the features you use and the configuration of your Third-Party Provider.

(e) AI Credentials

Where supported by the Software, API keys and other credentials may be stored locally using operating-system or application-level credential-storage mechanisms.

Your credentials are not intended to be stored in a Nexus-operated cloud database.

You are responsible for protecting your credentials and for any charges, usage, or activity associated with credentials you provide to a Third-Party Provider.

(f) AI Provider Responsibility

Third-Party Providers are independent from Nexus.

When you use a Third-Party Provider through Nexus, your use of that provider is governed by the provider's own terms, privacy policy, data practices, pricing, and security practices.

Nexus does not control how a Third-Party Provider receives, processes, stores, uses, or deletes information submitted to that provider.

You are responsible for reviewing the policies and terms of any Third-Party Provider before using its services with Nexus.

(g) Local AI Chat History

Nexus may save AI conversation history locally on your device.

Such local chat history is part of Your Content and is not currently intended to be stored by Nexus on a Nexus-operated cloud service.

(h) Built-In Browser

Nexus includes a browser that allows you to access third-party websites and online services.

When you access a third-party website through the Nexus browser, that website may communicate directly with its own servers and may collect information according to its own privacy policy and terms.

Nexus does not control or guarantee the availability, accuracy, security, legality, content, or privacy practices of third-party websites.

Your use of third-party websites is governed by the applicable terms and policies of those third parties.

(i) Data Transmission

Nexus is designed so that local workspace operations, including local storage and local semantic search, can operate without requiring your workspace to be transmitted to a Nexus-operated cloud service.

Information may leave your device when you explicitly use an external service or a feature that requires network communication, including the AI Assistant, third-party websites, updates, or other network-dependent functionality.

You are responsible for deciding what information you submit to Third-Party Providers and third-party websites.

6. No Nexus Cloud Account or Cloud Storage

Nexus does not currently require an online Nexus account to use the Software.

Nexus does not currently provide or require a Nexus-operated cloud storage service for your workspace.

Nexus does not currently provide automatic cloud synchronization of your notes.

If Nexus introduces online services, accounts, synchronization, analytics, or other network-based features in the future, those features may be governed by additional or updated terms and privacy disclosures.

7. Backups and Data Loss

Because Nexus is designed around local storage, you are responsible for maintaining backups of Your Content.

Nexus may provide tools for exporting, copying, or backing up your workspace.

You are solely responsible for deciding whether and where to create backups.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Nexus is not responsible for loss, corruption, deletion, or unavailability of Your Content resulting from:

device failure;
storage failure;
operating-system failure;
accidental deletion;
malware or security incidents;
user actions;
third-party software;
hardware failure;
improper backups; or
other events beyond the reasonable control of Nexus.

You should maintain independent backups of important data.

8. Updates and Changes

Nexus may provide updates, upgrades, bug fixes, patches, security fixes, or new features from time to time.

Nexus is not obligated to provide updates or continue supporting any particular version or feature of the Software, except where required by applicable law.

Nexus may modify, suspend, replace, or discontinue features of the Software, subject to applicable law.

Unless an update is accompanied by separate terms, this Agreement will continue to apply to the updated Software.

9. Term and Termination

This Agreement begins when you first download, install, access, or use the Software and continues until terminated.

Nexus may terminate or suspend your license if you materially breach this Agreement or use the Software unlawfully, subject to applicable law.

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by uninstalling the Software and ceasing to use it.

Upon termination, you must cease using the Software and delete copies of the Software in your possession or control, except where retention is required by applicable law.

Termination of your license does not automatically delete Your Content from your device.

Sections concerning intellectual property, Feedback, Third-Party Providers, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive termination.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEXUS DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

NEXUS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL:

be uninterrupted;
be error-free;
be completely secure;
be available at all times;
be compatible with every device or operating system;
be free from defects; or
prevent data loss.

NEXUS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY OF INFORMATION OR RESPONSES GENERATED BY AI SYSTEMS OR Third-Party Providers.

AI-generated information may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or inappropriate for a particular purpose.

You are responsible for evaluating AI-generated information before relying upon it.

YOU USE THE SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits any warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEXUS AND NAWRASS ANDALOUSSI DAHMAN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF NEXUS AND NAWRASS ANDALOUSSI DAHMAN ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

(a) the amount you actually paid to Nexus for the Software during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
(b) USD $100.

THE LIMITATIONS ABOVE APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, WARRANTIES, OR DAMAGES. WHERE SUCH LIMITATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, THEY SHALL APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Nawrass Andaloussi Dahman from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses arising directly from:

(a) your unlawful use of the Software;
(b) your material breach of this Agreement;
(c) your violation of applicable law; or
(d) your infringement or violation of the rights of a third party through content or information that you intentionally transmit or use through the Software.

This section does not require you to indemnify Nexus or Nawrass Andaloussi Dahman to the extent a claim results from their own unlawful conduct or where such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

Nexus is currently operated by an individual developer based in Morocco and may be used by individuals and organizations in different jurisdictions.

This Agreement is subject to applicable law and any mandatory consumer protections that apply to you based on your jurisdiction.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to deprive you of rights or protections that cannot legally be waived under the laws applicable to you.

If Nexus is later transferred to a separate legal entity, this Agreement may be updated to identify the applicable contracting entity and appropriate governing-law and dispute-resolution provisions.

14. General Provisions

(a) Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the Nexus Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly incorporated into it, constitutes the agreement between you and Nexus concerning the Software and supersedes prior agreements concerning the same subject matter.

(b) Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

(c) No Waiver

Failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

(d) Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under this Agreement without Nexus's prior written consent, except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

Nexus may assign or transfer this Agreement in connection with a reorganization, sale, merger, acquisition, transfer of the Software, or establishment of a successor legal entity.

(e) Modifications

Nexus may update this Agreement from time to time.

If material changes are made, Nexus may provide reasonable notice through the Software, website, or another appropriate method where required by applicable law.

Your continued use of the Software after an updated Agreement becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(f) Export Compliance

You agree to use the Software in compliance with applicable export- control, sanctions, and other trade laws that apply to your use of the Software.

(g) Eligibility

You must have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement under the laws applicable to you.

If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

(h) No Partnership or Agency

Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, agency relationship, or other fiduciary relationship between you and Nexus.

15. Privacy

Your use of the Software may also be governed by the Nexus Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy describes how Nexus handles information and how information may be transmitted to Third-Party Providers when you choose to use their services.

Because Nexus is designed as a local-first application, the Privacy Policy should clearly distinguish information stored locally on your device from information transmitted to external services.

The Privacy Policy should be read together with this Agreement.

Nexus Privacy Policy

16. Third-Party Licenses

Nexus may include third-party software and components that are distributed under separate licenses.

Those licenses may grant rights that are independent of this Agreement.

Where required, applicable third-party license notices are provided separately with the Software or in the Nexus repository.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit rights granted to you under applicable third-party open-source licenses.
