Terms of service

Who we are, and what this covers

SQL Multicast is operated by AERai Group LLC (“we”, “us”). These terms cover the SQL Multicast desktop app, the sqlmc command line, the MCP server, the website at sqlmulticast.com and your account on it (together, “SQL Multicast”). By registering, signing in or using SQL Multicast you agree to them. If you accept on behalf of an organization, you confirm you have the authority to bind it.

Your account

• Give us a real name and an email address you can read. A license is issued to a person.
• Answer the eligibility question honestly. It decides which tier you qualify for.
• Keep your sign-in secure. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• You must be at least 16 years old.

Licenses and tiers

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use SQL Multicast according to the tier you hold. The tiers, limits and prices are on the pricing page; in short:

• Community is free, for personal projects, hobbies, learning, teaching and open-source work.
• Pro is required for any use for an employer, a client or a business, including freelancing and a company of one. It covers up to 25 seats in one organization.
• Enterprise is for organizations that need more than 25 seats or a license issued to the organization, on terms agreed with us.

Using Community for work is a breach of these terms. A license covers up to three devices per user. Do not share a license between people, and do not work around the device, seat or limit checks.

Trials, subscriptions and payment

• Pro trial. A work trial is once per organization, needs no card, and ends on its own. When it ends your license returns to Community.
• Subscriptions renew each month or year until you cancel. You can cancel from your account at any time, or through the billing portal if you cannot sign in; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for. Payments are handled by our payment provider and you agree to its terms for the payment.
• Prices and limits can change. We will tell you in the app and by email, and a change reaches you at your next renewal at the earliest.
• Refunds. Fees are charged in advance and are not refundable except where the law requires, or where we say otherwise. If something went wrong, ask us.
• Taxes. Prices exclude any tax that applies to you, which is added where required.

If a subscription ends or a trial lapses, nothing you built is deleted. Your license drops to Community and the app keeps running within the Community limits.

What you may not do

• Copy, sell, rent, sublicense or distribute SQL Multicast, except as these terms allow.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or modify it, except where the law lets you despite this term.
• Forge, alter or share a license, or bypass a license check or limit.
• Use it to break the law, or to run SQL against systems you are not authorized to change.
• Attack, overload or probe the website or the license service.

You are responsible for what you run

SQL Multicast runs the scripts you give it against the servers and databases you choose, often many at once. Its guardrails, such as the production consent prompt and read-only groups, reduce risk but do not remove it. You are responsible for the scripts you run, the targets you select, your backups and the results. We never see your scripts, connections or data, so we cannot check or recover them for you.

Your content and your data

Your workspaces, projects, scripts, connection details and run logs are yours and stay on your machine. We claim no rights in them. What we collect about you is described in the privacy policy.

Our rights

SQL Multicast, its name and its documentation belong to AERai Group LLC and its licensors. These terms give you a right to use it, not ownership of it. Any open-source components in it remain under their own licenses. If you send us feedback, we may use it without obligation to you.

Support

Community support is through the public issue tracker. Pro and Enterprise include email support with a response target. A response target is a goal, not a guarantee.

No warranty

SQL Multicast is 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, non-infringement and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Nothing here excludes a warranty that the law does not allow to be excluded.

Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost revenue or business interruption, however caused, even if we were told they were possible. Our total liability for any claim arising from SQL Multicast is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim and US$100. Nothing here limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited.

Indemnity

You will defend and compensate us against claims and costs arising from your breach of these terms or from the scripts you run and the systems you run them on, to the extent the law allows.

Ending the agreement

You can stop using SQL Multicast and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your license if you breach these terms, if a payment fails and is not remedied, or where the law requires, and we will say why where we can. Sections that by their nature should survive (ownership, warranty, liability, indemnity and this section) do.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which AERai Group LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and its courts have jurisdiction over disputes, except where the law of your country gives you mandatory rights to another forum. Please contact us first; most problems are quicker to fix than to argue about.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the software, our providers or the law change. The current version is always the one published here, and the date at the top says when it last changed. We intend to email you about material changes if you have given us an address, but publishing the change here is what makes it effective. If you do not agree with a change, stop using SQL Multicast and ask us to delete your account. Continuing to use it after a change means you accept it.

General

These terms and the policies they link to are the whole agreement between us about SQL Multicast. If a part is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Not enforcing a term is not waiving it. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them to a successor to the business.
