A few things, made clear.
License agreement
The license you accept when you get Bison from the Mac App Store. The same text appears there.
Last updated Bison for Mac
Your Macs
Use Bison on the Apple devices you own or control.
Your data stays yours
The license gives us no rights to your databases.
Your rights remain
Mandatory consumer protections still apply.
This License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between you and Aleksandr Shelestov PR JustOneDev, Jurija Gagarina 231, 11070 Belgrade, Serbia (“we”, “us”), the developer of Bison for Mac (the “App”). It governs your use of the App obtained from the Mac App Store.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the App.
Acknowledgement
You and we acknowledge that this Agreement is concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
This Agreement does not provide usage rules for the App that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (“Apple’s Terms”). If they conflict, Apple’s Terms prevail.
Your license
We grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple’s Terms, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
Except as the law or an open-source license allows, you may not:
- copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App;
- rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App; or
- remove or alter any proprietary notices in the App.
The App includes open-source components, each licensed under its own terms, listed in the App under Help ▸ Acknowledgements. Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights under those licenses. We and our licensors keep all rights not expressly granted to you, and the App is licensed, not sold, to you.
Your data and your databases
The App runs on your Mac and connects to databases and services you choose. Your database content, queries, exports, and dashboard files remain yours; this Agreement gives us no rights to them.
The App can change and permanently delete data. You are responsible for using it only with systems and information you are authorized to access, for reviewing every operation before you run, confirm, or approve it (including operations proposed by an AI client), and for keeping backups of your data.
Third-party terms and services
You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App, including the terms of your database hosting providers, SSH servers, AI clients and AI model providers, and your organization’s policies.
Those services are independent of us, and we are not responsible for them. Information an AI client reads through the App is handled under that client’s and its provider’s terms.
Maintenance and support
We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App, as described at https://getbison.app/support or as required under applicable law. You and we acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
We may release updates, but we do not promise a schedule, a particular feature, or compatibility with every database deployment, third-party service, or future version of macOS, except as required by applicable law.
Use at your own risk; disclaimer of warranties
YOU USE THE APP AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT IT WILL WORK WITH EVERY DATABASE, SERVER VERSION, CONFIGURATION, OR NETWORK, THAT RESULTS, COUNTS, EXPORTS, OR AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE, OR THAT ITS SAFEGUARDS (CONFIRMATIONS, READ-ONLY CONNECTIONS, PRODUCTION WARNINGS, AND AGENT PERMISSIONS) WILL PREVENT EVERY MISTAKE. THE APP IS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR USE WHERE ITS FAILURE OR ERROR COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, OR FINANCIAL HARM.
We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole responsibility.
Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR CONTRACTORS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, DATABASE DOWNTIME, COST OF RECOVERING DATA OR OBTAINING SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, OPERATIONS YOU RUN OR CONFIRM, OPERATIONS PROPOSED OR RUN BY AN AI CLIENT YOU CONNECT, OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP AND FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US$50).
This Agreement does not limit our liability to you beyond what is permitted by applicable law. Nothing in it excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, and nothing in it affects your rights as a consumer under mandatory law, including any legal guarantee that the App conforms to its description. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Product claims
You and we acknowledge that we, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims of you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
Intellectual property claims
You and we acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
Your responsibility for misuse
If you use the App in breach of this Agreement or the law, for example to access a database without permission, you are responsible for the resulting claims by third parties against us, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Legal compliance
You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all export control and sanctions laws that apply to your use of the App.
Term and termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated. Your rights under it end automatically, without notice, if you fail to comply with it. You may end it at any time by deleting the App. When it ends, you must stop using the App and delete it. Ending this Agreement does not undo changes made to any database. The sections on your data, warranties, liability, claims, misuse, and third-party beneficiaries survive termination.
Changes to this Agreement
We may update this Agreement for new versions of the App. The current version is published at https://getbison.app/license. A new version applies to versions of the App released after it, and does not remove rights attached to an earlier purchase; where the law requires your consent to a change, we will ask for it.
General
This Agreement, together with our Privacy Policy (https://getbison.app/privacy), is the entire agreement between you and us about the license to the App. Our Terms of Use (https://getbison.app/terms) describe how the App is offered; if they conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement governs. If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and that provision is enforced to the fullest extent permitted. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this Agreement. If this Agreement is translated, the English version governs, except where the law requires otherwise.
Third-party beneficiary
You and we acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
