Terms of Use

Last updated 21 July 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Exception To Policy, Inc. ("we", "us") covering your use of the Little Brother application for macOS and iOS (the "App"). By installing or using the App you accept them. If you do not, do not use the App.

If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. Where these terms and Apple's conflict, these terms govern — except that nothing here reduces any right Apple's agreement gives you.

What the App does

Little Brother downloads open-weight language models to your device and runs them locally. Conversations, documents you import, and the models themselves stay on your device. We do not operate a server that processes your prompts, and we cannot see your conversations. See the Privacy Policy for detail.

Generated content is not reliable

The App produces text by statistical prediction. Output can be wrong, misleading, or entirely fabricated, and can be presented confidently. It is not professional advice. Do not rely on it for medical, legal, financial, safety, or other consequential decisions without independent verification by a qualified person.

The models are third-party works that we did not train. We do not control, endorse, or vouch for what they generate, and their output does not represent our views.

Acceptable use

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour. You agree not to use the App to:

  • create, store, or distribute material that sexually exploits or endangers children, or that depicts non-consensual sexual activity;
  • harass, threaten, defame, or incite violence against any person or group, or generate hate speech targeting protected characteristics;
  • plan, facilitate, or carry out any crime, including fraud, stalking, or the creation of weapons capable of mass harm;
  • generate content designed to deceive, such as impersonation of a real person, fabricated records, or disinformation;
  • violate the licence of any model you download through the App (see "Model licences" below); or
  • circumvent the App's technical limits, or use it in any way that breaks applicable law.

Because the App runs entirely on your device, we cannot monitor or filter what you generate — which makes your compliance with this section the whole of the safeguard. If you encounter output you believe is objectionable, use Report this response in the App, or email support@exceptiontopolicyinc.com. We review every report and may respond by changing the App, removing a model from the catalogue, or terminating your licence under these terms.

Model licences

The App downloads model weights from Hugging Face. Each model stays under its own licence, granted by its publisher rather than by us, and some of those licences restrict commercial use or require attribution. The current terms for every model in the catalogue are listed in the App under Settings › General › Model licences, each linking to the full text. You are responsible for using a model within its licence.

Your content

Conversations, imported documents, and generated output are yours. We claim no ownership and, because they never reach us, we hold no copy of them. Deleting the App deletes them, and we cannot recover them for you.

Availability and changes

We may change, suspend, or discontinue the App or any model in its catalogue at any time. Models are hosted by third parties and can become unavailable without notice. We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above, and continuing to use the App after a change means you accept it.

No warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that its output will be accurate or suitable for any purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Exception To Policy, Inc. is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, nor for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of your use of or inability to use the App — including any reliance on its output. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for it in the twelve months before the claim and USD 50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Termination

Your licence to use the App ends automatically if you breach these terms. You may end it at any time by deleting the App.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Nothing here removes a consumer-protection right you hold under the mandatory law of your country of residence.
