Who provides Calmbu
Calmbu is provided by Calmbu Pty Ltd from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. References to Calmbu, we, us, and our mean Calmbu Pty Ltd unless the context says otherwise.
What Calmbu is
Calmbu is a recovery-first Windows continuity product for supported local AI agent state. It is not source control, a general computer backup product, a cloud storage provider, or an emergency recovery service.
Calmbu creates encrypted recovery points in a destination you choose and validates them before showing Protected. Those recovery points may also support migration to a compatible new Windows PC. You remain responsible for choosing and protecting the destination, keeping your recovery code safe, and meeting the supported platform and agent requirements.
Availability and test releases
Some Calmbu releases may be controlled-test or beta software. Features, installer availability, pricing, limits, and supported platforms may change before a stable public release. Do not use a test build as the only copy of business-critical material.
Calmbu for macOS is in active development while Windows remains the first planned public release. No release date is promised. A release-alert request permits only the Windows, macOS, or combined availability notice selected in the form.
Licence to use the app
Subject to these terms, Calmbu Pty Ltd grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Calmbu for lawful backup, recovery, and supported migration purposes.
You must not sell, sublicense, rent, host, reverse engineer, bypass licence or security controls, remove ownership notices, interfere with the service, or use Calmbu to handle data you do not have authority to access, except where a restriction cannot legally apply.
Your responsibilities
- Choose and monitor a backup destination you control.
- Keep the recovery code private and separate from the protected PC.
- Use source control and other appropriate safeguards for important projects.
- Inspect recovered copies before using them or replacing live state.
- Follow every confirmation and safety instruction before deliberately changing active agent state.
- Protect your Windows account, device, storage destination, and licence information.
Plans, trials, billing, and renewals
Safety provides one automatic backup each day at the time you select. Live Guard notices supported changes after the workspace settles and respects the configured minimum interval between runs, which is two hours by default. Manual backup remains available when you want an extra recovery point.
The self-service annual offers are Safety Starter at US$36 per year, Safety Standard at US$60 per year, Live Guard Starter at US$72 per year, and Live Guard Standard at US$144 per year. The monthly figures shown on the website are equivalents only; billing is annual. Paid plans include a seven-day trial unless Paddle checkout expressly shows a different approved condition before purchase.
Starter is limited to one licensed device. Standard is priced per licensed device, and the selected quantity determines the device-seat limit. Paid plans are sold through Paddle as merchant of record. Paddle checkout and its customer portal show the price, trial conditions, tax, renewal date, cancellation path, proration for an available upgrade, and applicable refund terms.
Payment processing, invoices, receipts, refunds, renewals, chargebacks, and payment-method handling are also governed by Paddle's terms. Non-excludable rights under Australian Consumer Law continue to apply.
Capacity, measurement, and overage
Capacity is the combined logical size of supported data in Calmbu's Standard protection scope across supported workspaces protected on one licensed device. It is measured after required agent-specific exclusions but before compression, encryption, deduplication, or retention. It is not the physical size of retained recovery points.
Starter covers up to and including 1,073,741,824 logical bytes. Standard covers more than that amount through 26,843,545,600 logical bytes. The self-service launch range stops at 25 GB; larger or indeterminate workspaces are directed to Calmbu before new self-service protection is created.
If a complete local measurement shows protected data above the licensed allowance, Calmbu gives a 30-day grace period for new recovery-point creation and provides local alerts. After grace expires, creation and publication of new recovery points may pause until coverage is upgraded or a complete new local check confirms usage is within the allowance. Existing recovery points, recovery, export, and integrity checks remain available, and Calmbu does not delete prior recovery points because of an overage.
Cancellations, refunds, and third-party changes
You may cancel a paid plan through the customer portal to stop its next renewal. Except where required by law, stated at checkout, or expressly agreed by Paddle or Calmbu Pty Ltd, fees already paid are non-refundable and non-creditable, and cancellation does not create a pro-rata refund or credit for the unused part of a current billing period.
Codex, Claude Code, and every other supported agent or platform are independent third-party products. Their owners may change or remove local storage, file formats, locations, interfaces, availability, licensing, operating-system support, or other behaviour outside Calmbu's control. Calmbu may need to update, limit, pause, or discontinue affected protection or migration features in response.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, a third-party change—including a move to cloud-only operation—is not by itself a failure by Calmbu or grounds for a refund or credit for amounts already paid. You may cancel future renewal. Existing encrypted Calmbu recovery points remain under your control and may remain recoverable with compatible Calmbu software and the required recovery material, but indefinite compatibility with changed or discontinued third-party products is not guaranteed.
Nothing in this section excludes any refund, cancellation, compensation, or other remedy that must be provided under Australian Consumer Law or another applicable law.
Recovery and migration limits
Calmbu is designed to reduce risk and require a recovery point to pass recovery validation before it is presented as ready for recovery or supported migration. No backup product can guarantee recovery or migration in every situation. Device compromise, storage failure, user deletion, lost recovery material, malware, permissions, incompatible or unsupported agent/platform changes, or loss of every backup copy can still cause data loss.
Calmbu does not present a recovery point as safe when required validation does not pass. This reduces false confidence but may mean damaged or incomplete recovery data cannot be used.
Acceptable use
Do not use Calmbu to break the law, bypass access controls, copy data you do not have rights to handle, attack licensing or release infrastructure, distribute malware, or interfere with other users or services.
Downloads and third-party services
Public downloads, installers, checksums, release files, and static assets may be delivered through third-party hosting or content-delivery providers. Technical request data may be processed in other countries during global delivery. Private backup contents are not part of that public distribution path.
Third-party storage, billing, email, support, or infrastructure services are also subject to their own terms and privacy practices where you or Calmbu use them.
Intellectual property and your content
Calmbu, its branding, software, website, documentation, and release materials are owned by Calmbu Pty Ltd or its licensors. You retain ownership of your agent data, code, prompts, backups, and other content.
Using Calmbu does not give Calmbu Pty Ltd ownership of your work, and it does not transfer ownership of Calmbu software or branding to you.
Suspension and termination
We may suspend access to paid features, downloads, licences, or support if you breach these terms, fail to pay, abuse the service, infringe rights, bypass licensing, or create a security risk. You may stop using Calmbu at any time.
Uninstalling Calmbu does not automatically remove backup vaults or recovered folders from destinations you control. Cancelling a paid plan does not delete local files.
Liability and consumer rights
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies a guarantee, right, remedy, or liability that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Calmbu is provided without guarantees of uninterrupted, error-free, completely secure, or universally recoverable operation. Calmbu Pty Ltd is not liable for indirect, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive loss, lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost business, lost goodwill, or replacement-service costs.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Calmbu Pty Ltd's aggregate liability for claims relating to Calmbu is limited to the amount you paid for Calmbu in the preceding 12 months, or AUD $150 if you did not pay, except where a different remedy is required by non-excludable law.
Governing law and changes
These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria and applicable Commonwealth laws of Australia. Courts in Victoria have non-exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law provides another right.
We may update these terms as Calmbu changes. Material updates will be shown on this page and, where appropriate, through the app, checkout, customer portal, or support channels.
