Terms & Licence

NKT Studios · last updated 29 August 2026

Plain version: you are buying the right to run GRM on one computer for one year. You may use it on anything you like, including paid client work. You may not resell it or pass the key on. If it breaks we will fix it or refund you.

1. Who you are contracting with

GRM ("the Software") is published and licensed by NKT Studios ("we", "us"). By installing or using the Software you accept these terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you confirm you are entitled to bind it.

2. What you get

A non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and run the Software on the number of machines your key covers, for the period your key covers — normally one machine for one year from the date of issue. A team key covers the number of seats purchased.

The licence is to use the Software. Ownership of the Software, and of everything in it, stays with NKT Studios.

3. Hivecode is licensed separately, and freely

These terms cover GRM, the paid product. Hivecode — the relay, the VS Code extension, the MCP server and icr-merge — is published under the MIT licence and its own licence file governs it. You may read it, run it, fork it, self-host the relay and use it commercially, on MIT terms, with or without a GRM licence.

What is sold alongside it is the hosted service: rooms we run for you, and the team features on top of them. That is a service subscription, cancellable, and it does not change your rights to the MIT code.

4. What you may do

  • Use it for commercial work, including work you bill clients for.
  • Use it on private, proprietary or confidential codebases. That is what it is for, and nothing leaves your machine.
  • Keep, copy, inspect, back up and delete the memory file it produces. That file is yours, not ours.
  • Move your licence to a replacement machine — see clause 7.

5. What you may not do

  • Share, publish, resell, sublicense or transfer your licence key.
  • Redistribute the Software, bundle it into another product, or host it as a service for others.
  • Attempt to defeat, patch or work around the licensing, or the trial period.
  • Decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Software, except to the precise extent that applicable law says you may despite this clause.
  • Remove or alter any notice of authorship or ownership.

A key found published anywhere public will be revoked. If that key was yours, that is the end of that licence and no refund is due.

6. The trial

The download includes a trial that runs for seven days from the first time you run it — not from the date you downloaded it. It is the complete product with nothing held back. No card, no account, no sign-up. When it lapses, the Software stops serving memory; it does not delete anything, and everything it built is still on your disk and returns the moment a licence is in place.

7. Changing machines

Laptops die and get replaced. Email support@getgrm.tech with the identifier from the new machine and we will re-issue the same licence for it at no charge. This is meant for replacing a machine, not for running one licence on several at once.

8. Renewal

Licences do not auto-renew and there is no stored card and no subscription. When a year is up, the licence lapses unless you choose to buy another. We will email you before that happens.

9. Updates and support

Updates released during your licence period are included. Support is by email at support@getgrm.tech. We answer as a small studio answers — quickly and by a person — but we do not offer a contractual response time unless one has been agreed in writing.

10. No warranty

The Software is provided "as is". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, that it will recall any particular thing, or that it will suit a particular purpose. It is a memory aid for a coding agent, and the output of a coding agent remains your responsibility to review.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or relating to the Software is limited to the amount you paid for the licence in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for lost profits, lost data, business interruption or any indirect or consequential loss.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

12. Ending it

You may stop using the Software at any time; delete it and the licence ends. We may end the licence if these terms are materially breached — most obviously if a key is published or resold. On termination you must stop using the Software and delete it. Your memory file remains yours.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction. If you are buying as a consumer elsewhere, this does not remove protections you have under the mandatory law of your own country.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms for future purchases. The terms you accepted when you bought your licence continue to govern that licence for its term.
