Terms of Service and Licence

Hosia · Konquer Media Pty Ltd · ABN 15 685 811 492 · Australia
Last updated: 28 September 2026

1. What you are agreeing to

By installing or using Hosia you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not install it. "We" and "us" mean Konquer Media Pty Ltd, which makes Hosia; "you" means the person or organisation using it.

2. Licence

Hosia is a derivative work of Hermes Agent by Nous Research, used under the MIT Licence. That licence is reproduced in full in LICENSE, and the relationship is set out in NOTICE. Both files also ship with the download. Hosia is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Nous Research.

You may install and use Hosia on any machine you control, for personal or commercial work, including for clients.

The code is yours to use, change and share under the MIT Licence. Keep the LICENSE and NOTICE files with any copy you share. The Hosia name and logo are not part of that licence, so do not use them for your own version.

3. What the software does - read this part

Hosia executes commands on your computer, reads and writes your files, and sends data to an AI provider you choose. It is an automation tool that takes real actions on real systems.

You are responsible for:

• what you instruct it to do, and what a model instructs it to do on your behalf
• keeping backups - an agent that edits files can edit them wrongly
• the API keys you supply and any charges your provider bills you for
• complying with the terms of whichever AI provider you use

A large language model is not deterministic and not reliable. It will sometimes be confidently wrong. Do not use Hosia for anything where a wrong action is unacceptable and unrecoverable, unless you have independently verified the action first.

4. The Wall, and what it is not

Hosia checks a fixed set of actions in code, before the tool runs. Anything sent to a customer, and any change in an app you connected, waits for you to approve it. Moving money, reading credential files and deploying to production are refused. Configuration and bot files may narrow what is permitted; they cannot widen it. A file attempting to widen it fails to load rather than loading with the restriction dropped.

This is a safety floor, not a guarantee of safety. It is a defence against a model being talked into a specific class of action. It is not a defence against every mistake a model can make, and it does not make the software safe to point at systems you cannot afford to have damaged. It reduces blast radius; it does not remove it.

On Windows and Linux there is no kernel-level layer: the checks work on the text of each command, and a well-disguised command can get past them. Keep backups there, and do not point Hosia at anything you cannot afford to lose.

You must not rely on the Wall as your only control over a production system.

5. Signing in: the free plan and Hosia Plus

The free plan

You can sign in to the Hosia app with Google or with your email address. Signing in is optional. It lets Hosia work with no keys to copy: your chats go through our hosted service to free AI models, and the free plan costs nothing.

• The free plan has a daily limit. It resets at midnight UTC (10 am in Sydney, or 11 am during daylight saving). When you reach it, you can wait for the reset, or use your own key or a local model instead.
• The providers of the free models may keep your chats and use them to train and improve their models. Do not enter private customer information, personal information about other people, or anything confidential on the free plan. Our Privacy Policy has the details.
• There is no promise that the free plan is always available (see section 6).
• We may change the daily limit, the free models, or the free plan itself at any time. We may suspend a free account that is used to get around the limit (see section 8).

Hosia Plus

Hosia Plus is coming soon and cannot be bought yet. This part applies once it opens.

A subscription gives you a token that routes requests through our gateway to an AI provider, so you do not have to hold a provider account yourself.

• Billing is monthly in advance through Stripe, in the currency shown at checkout.
• You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for.
• We may apply rate and spend limits to protect the service. Where limits apply to your plan they are shown before you buy.
• We may change prices with 30 days' notice by email. A price change never applies to a period you have already paid for.

Refunds

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law, which cannot be contracted out of. If the software is faulty, not as described, or does not do what we said it does, you are entitled to a remedy under that law regardless of anything written here.

Beyond those rights, and because a subscription's cost to us is incurred as you use it:

• Within 14 days of your first payment: full refund on request, no reason needed.
• After that: we refund the unused remainder of the current period if the service was unavailable or materially failed to work, and pro-rata at our discretion otherwise.
• We do not refund charges billed to you by a third-party AI provider under your own account. Those are between you and them.

Refund requests: support@hosia.com.au.

6. Availability

Our hosted service (the free plan, and Hosia Plus once it opens) is offered as-is, with no uptime promise. It is operated by one person. If it is down, Hosia still works with your own API key or a local model: that path does not depend on us at all, which is deliberate.

7. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, and subject to section 5's consumer guarantees:

• We are not liable for loss or damage arising from actions the software takes on your systems, including data loss, incorrect edits, or charges from your AI provider.
• Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
• Where a consumer guarantee applies and the failure is not major, our liability is limited to resupplying the service or refunding its cost.

Hosia and its free plan cost nothing. If you are not paying us, our liability to you is limited to the fullest extent the law allows.

8. Ending it

You may stop using Hosia at any time. We may suspend or end an account, free or paid, that is being used unlawfully, to attack others, to get around the free plan's limits, or in a way that endangers the service. Where we end a paid account, we refund the unused portion of the current period.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Victoria, Australia. Disputes go to the courts of Victoria, subject to any right you have to bring a matter before a consumer tribunal.
