Terms of Service

Agreement

By using Collate (the macOS app and the collate.one website), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Collate.

Your content

• You are responsible for the PDFs, prompts, images, text, and other content you import or submit, and you must have the rights to use them.
• If you create a share link, you are responsible for what you share and who you share it with. Shared content may be accessible to anyone with the link.

AI outputs

• Collate uses AI, including a local Gemma 4 model, to generate summaries, answers, translations, highlights, and related output. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or misleading.
• You are responsible for reviewing output before using, sharing, publishing, or relying on it. You must independently verify important information.
• Collate is not a professional adviser and must not be used as a substitute for legal, medical, financial, accounting, employment, housing, insurance, public benefits, or other regulated professional advice or decisions.
• Do not represent AI-generated output as human-created or original if doing so would deceive others or violate applicable law.

Third-party model and runtime

Collate’s local AI features may use Google DeepMind Gemma 4 E4B-it model files, packaged as GGUF files by ggml-org and run through a local llama.cpp-based runtime. Gemma 4 is provided under the Apache License 2.0. Google, Google DeepMind, Hugging Face, ggml-org, and llama.cpp contributors are not parties to these Terms and do not endorse Collate.

Additional license and attribution information is available in our Third-Party Notices.

Acceptable use

• Do not use Collate to break the law or violate others’ rights, including copyright, privacy, publicity, or confidentiality rights.
• Do not attempt to disrupt or abuse the website or any related services.
• Do not use Collate to generate, distribute, or facilitate harmful, deceptive, hateful, harassing, sexually exploitative, violent, fraudulent, or malicious content.
• Do not use Collate to infer, collect, process, or share sensitive personal information without all rights, authorizations, and consents required by law.
• Do not use Collate to make automated decisions that materially affect a person’s rights, safety, employment, credit, healthcare, housing, insurance, education, or access to public services.

Email communications

If you provide your email address to us through the website, forms, or related communications, you agree that we may contact you about Collate and promote other products from the same developer. You may opt out of promotional emails at any time.

Disclaimers

Collate is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Third-party models, runtimes, hosting providers, and contributors provide their materials without warranties to the maximum extent permitted by their applicable licenses and law.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Collate and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data or profits. We do not accept warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations on behalf of Google, Google DeepMind, Hugging Face, ggml-org, llama.cpp contributors, or any other third-party model or runtime provider.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of Collate means you accept the updated Terms.
