1. The Agreement
1.1. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between WhiteTR Technology ("we", "us") and you, the person or the organisation you represent ("you"). They cover the Kubby desktop software ("Kubby"), its updates, and the kubby.tech website with its download, contact and e-mail announcement services (together, the "Services").
1.2. The Privacy Policy and the AI Transparency Policy form part of these Terms.
1.3. If you accept these Terms for an organisation, you confirm that you may bind it. We may update these Terms; we announce material changes on this page before they apply. Using the Services after a change means you accept the new Terms.
2. Free use
2.1. Kubby is free of charge. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to install and use Kubby on any number of computers, for personal or business use, under these Terms.
2.2. Kubby is free to use, not open source. You may not, except where the law expressly allows it: modify Kubby or create derivative works of it; reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it; remove notices; sell, rent or sublicense it; or offer Kubby to others as a hosted service.
2.3. You may share the official installer from kubby.tech inside your organisation, for example through a software catalogue. Do not distribute modified installers.
2.4. Kubby is a professional tool and is not intended for children.
3. Kubby account
Kubby creates a local account on your computer, protected by a password and two-step verification. It protects your cluster credentials. The account is not stored on our servers; keep your password and recovery codes safe, because we cannot restore them.
4. Acceptable use
- Use Kubby only on clusters and systems you are allowed to access, within your permissions.
- Use the website and the download through a normal browser or Kubby. Do not overload, scan or attack them, bypass rate limits, or collect content automatically in bulk.
- Do not send forms automatically or submit false information.
- Ask Kubby uses your own AI account; that provider's usage limits and acceptable use rules apply to you. Do not try to get around the topic limitation or the approval of changes, or use Ask Kubby to extract data you are not allowed to see.
Where practical we contact you first. If misuse continues or is serious, we may limit or block access to the website and the download.
5. Updates
5.1. Kubby checks kubby.tech for new releases and installs them from inside the app after you approve. We decide what each release contains and may change or remove features.
5.2. We are not obliged to publish updates or to keep providing Kubby, the download or the website. We may stop at any time.
6. Privacy
6.1. Kubby connects to your clusters directly from your computer. Your kubeconfigs, cluster names, logs and resources are not sent to us. Kubby only asks kubby.tech whether a newer version exists; it collects no usage statistics. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
6.2. You remain responsible for your own obligations under data protection law for the data in your clusters.
7. AI features
7.1. Ask Kubby is optional and off by default. It works with an AI provider you choose and connect with your own account or API key. Your use of that provider is governed by the provider's terms; we are not a party to them.
7.2. AI output can be wrong. Kubby never applies a proposed change without your approval, and you are responsible for reviewing and approving changes, especially on production clusters. See the AI Transparency Policy.
8. Intellectual property
8.1. Kubby, the website, the Kubby name and logo, and all related rights belong to us or our licensors. You receive the right to use Kubby described in section 2, not ownership.
8.2. Your clusters, configurations, notes and other content stay yours. We claim no rights in them and, by design, do not receive them.
8.3. Kubby includes open-source components under their own licences; the list is shown in Help → About.
9. Feedback
If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them to improve Kubby without obligation to you.
10. Third-party services and external sites
10.1. Kubby works with software and services of others, such as Kubernetes clusters, Prometheus, Argo CD, Helm repositories, news feeds and AI providers. We do not control them and are not responsible for their availability, content or terms.
10.2. Links to external websites are for convenience; you use them at your own risk.
11. Ending use
You may stop using Kubby at any time by uninstalling it. Your right to use Kubby ends if you break these Terms. Sections 8, 12, 13, 14 and 15 continue to apply after that.
12. No warranty
Kubby and the Services are provided free of charge, "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that they are uninterrupted, error-free, secure or fit for a particular purpose. You are responsible for the changes you make to your clusters and for your backups. Statutory rights of consumers are not affected.
13. Limitation of liability
13.1. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from the use of, or the inability to use, Kubby or the Services, including indirect or consequential damages, outages, loss of profit, revenue, data or goodwill.
13.2. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for intent or gross negligence, or to consumers' statutory rights.
14. Indemnification
If you use Kubby for business, you will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your breach of these Terms or of law in your use of the Services.
15. Miscellaneous
15.1. These Terms and the documents in section 1.2 are the entire agreement between us about the Services.
15.2. We send notices by posting them on kubby.tech or, where we have your address, by e-mail; you send notices to [email protected].
15.3. If a provision is invalid, the rest remains in force. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
15.4. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. The courts and enforcement offices of Türkiye have jurisdiction, without prejudice to the mandatory rights of consumers.
