The closed beta, plainly.

Closed beta · last updated 20 October 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and [Legal entity] (org. no. [Org. no.], Norway), which runs NorseOS. They apply when you join the waitlist, accept an invitation, or use NorseOS, Valhalla, the runner or the desktop app. If you use NorseOS for a company, you accept them for that company and confirm you may do so. How we handle personal data is in the Privacy Policy.

1. The beta

NorseOS is in a closed beta. Access is by invitation, it is free, and there is no promise that it will become a paid product, stay free, or continue at all. Features can change, break, be removed or be reset without notice, and data in the beta can be lost. Keep your own copies: your code belongs in your own repositories, not only in NorseOS.

We would like your feedback. If you send it, we may use it to improve NorseOS without owing you anything for it.

2. Who can take part

You must be at least 18 and use NorseOS for professional or development work. Your invitation is personal: do not share your login, invitation link, runner token or pairing code with anyone.

3. Your accounts, keys and subscriptions

You bring your own AI access: subscriptions you are logged in to on your own runner, or your own API keys. You are responsible for those accounts, for following each provider's terms (including any limits on automated use of a subscription), and for everything they cost you. Budget limits in NorseOS help, but they are a tool, not a guarantee.
The same applies to services you connect, such as GitHub, Render or Linear.
Your runner runs on your machine, under your control and at your risk. Keep it, its tokens and the machine it runs on secure.
Tell us right away at [Contact email] if you think a credential or your account has been compromised.

4. Your agents are your responsibility

NorseOS lets AI agents write code, run commands, open pull requests and deploy, within the permissions, approvals and budgets you set. AI output can be wrong, insecure or harmful. You decide what your agents may do, and you are responsible for what they do and for what you publish, merge or deploy, including its effect on other people and systems. Review before you approve, and do not give an agent access you would not give a new colleague.

5. Acceptable use

You may not use NorseOS to:

break the law, or infringe anyone else's rights;
build or run malware, attack, scan or overload systems you are not authorized to test, or get around anyone's security;
send spam, scrape or collect personal data unlawfully, or create content that exploits or endangers children;
break the terms or usage policies of the AI providers or services you connect;
probe, test or break the security of NorseOS itself, or another tester's workspace, except through a coordinated disclosure we have agreed in writing (please do report what you find);
resell, sublicense or offer NorseOS to others as a service, or run other people's jobs on your runner or under your invitation;
copy, reverse engineer or build a competing product from NorseOS, except as the law allows.

6. Your content

You keep all rights to your code, prompts, data and what your agents produce for you. You give us permission to host, process and transmit it only as needed to run NorseOS for you, as described in the Privacy Policy. You confirm you have the right to put it into NorseOS.

7. Our software

NorseOS, including the control plane, Valhalla, the runner and the desktop app, belongs to [Legal entity]. For the beta we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to use it under these terms. Nothing else is licensed to you.

8. No warranty

The beta is provided “as is” and “as available”, without any warranty, express or implied, including of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, availability or non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not promise that NorseOS will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors, or that anything produced through it will be correct.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, [Legal entity] is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, lost profits, revenue or data, or costs charged by your AI providers or other services, arising from the beta. Our total liability for any claim related to the beta is limited to USD 100.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or anything else that cannot be limited by law.

You will compensate us for third-party claims caused by your content or by your breach of these terms, including what your agents did under your control.

10. Ending the beta or your access

You can stop using NorseOS at any time and ask us to delete your account. We can suspend or end your access, or end the beta, at any time, and immediately if you break these terms or put the service or others at risk. Where we can, we will give you notice and a chance to export your data. Sections 3 to 9 and 11 continue to apply after the beta ends.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by Norwegian law, and disputes go to the Oslo District Court (Oslo tingrett) as the agreed venue. If you are a consumer, you keep any protections that the law of the country where you live gives you and that cannot be waived by contract, and you may also be able to bring a claim in your local courts.

12. Changes and contact

We may update these terms during the beta. We will change the date at the top, and tell signed-up testers by email about material changes before they take effect; using NorseOS after that means you accept them. If a part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement for the beta.
