Terms of Use

Last updated November 14, 2026

1. Who we are and what this covers

Gesher is a terminal and SSH client made by CTF Designs, LLC (“we”, “us”). These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and us about the Gesher app and the gesher.dev website. By downloading, installing or using Gesher you agree to them. If you use Gesher for an organization, you agree for that organization and confirm you can. If you don’t agree, don’t use Gesher.

2. Your license

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Gesher on computers you own or control, under these terms. We keep all rights in the app, its design and the Gesher name. You may not sell, rent or redistribute the app, or reverse engineer it except where the law allows you to despite this restriction. Gesher may include open-source components, which are licensed under their own terms; those terms win for those components.

3. Early software, pricing and changes

Gesher is in development. Early versions may be incomplete, change a lot between releases, or stop working with older data, so keep backups. We may add, change or remove features at any time. If we ever charge for Gesher or any part of it, we’ll show the price and any extra terms before you pay.

4. Use it only on systems you’re allowed to use

• Only connect to servers, devices and accounts you own or have permission to access, and follow the rules of whoever owns them.
• Don’t use Gesher to break into systems, scan or attack networks without permission, spread malware, send spam, or break any law.
• Commands run on your servers with your permissions. You are responsible for every command you run and every file you change, upload or delete through Gesher.

5. AI features

• Check before you run. AI suggestions and autocomplete can be wrong, out of date or harmful to your system, even when they look right. Read every command before you run it, especially ones that use sudo, delete, overwrite, or change permissions, networks or databases. You decide what runs, and you are responsible for the result.
• Your provider, your agreement. When you connect an AI provider, you use it under your own agreement with that provider, including its terms, usage limits, fees and privacy policy. You are responsible for following them, including any rules on which apps may use your subscription or key, and for any charges the provider makes.
• We don’t run the AI. We don’t operate, control or guarantee any AI provider or model, and we aren’t responsible for what they return, store or charge.
• Mind what you send. If you let the AI see a session’s output, that output goes to your provider. Don’t turn it on for sessions with data you aren’t allowed to share.

6. Your data, your database

• Everything Gesher stores is kept on your computer or in a PostgreSQL database that you or your organization run. We have no copy and no way to view, recover or restore it.
• Backups are up to you. If a computer or database is lost, damaged, reset or wiped, its data is gone unless you have a backup.
• You are responsible for securing your computers, your database, your encryption key, keys and passwords, and for the people, roles, permissions and access lists you set up. If you lose your encryption key, we can’t recover passwords encrypted with it.
• If an administrator runs your Gesher database, they control the accounts and data in it.

7. Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them to improve Gesher without owing you anything for them.

8. Export rules

Gesher uses encryption. You agree to follow the export and sanctions laws that apply to you, and confirm you are not located in a country under a U.S. Government embargo and are not on a U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we’ll change the date at the top of this page, and if the change matters, we’ll say so in the app or on this site. Continuing to use Gesher after a change means you accept the new terms.

10. No warranty

Gesher and gesher.dev are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don’t promise that Gesher will be error-free or secure, that it will work with every server, or that autocomplete or AI suggestions will be correct or safe to run.

11. Limits on our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, CTF Designs, LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, downtime, damage to systems, security incidents, provider charges or lost profits, arising from your use of Gesher, including commands you run and AI suggestions you accept. Our total liability for any claim about Gesher is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the 12 months before the claim, or US $10 if you paid nothing.

Some places don’t allow these limits, so some of them may not apply to you. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that can’t be waived.

12. Responsibility for misuse

If someone makes a claim against CTF Designs, LLC because you used Gesher to access a system without permission, broke the law, or broke these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.

13. Ending

You can stop using Gesher at any time by uninstalling it. Uninstalling may not remove data kept in your PostgreSQL database; delete that yourself if you no longer need it. We may end your license if you seriously break these terms. Sections 6 and 10 to 14 stay in effect after that.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Riverside County, California, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it locally.
