What we promise, and what we don’t.

Offline Base LLC is an early-stage company. Base Drive, Base Router, Base Connect, and Base Memory are in development. Nothing on this site is available to order, and every specification, price, model list, speed figure, and date we publish is a current target rather than a commitment.

Descriptions of planned behaviour — consent prompts, activity records, local-only mode, outside help, remote access — describe how we intend the products to work. They are design intent, not a description of shipping software, and they may change or be dropped as we build.

When something already ships, we say so. When it does not, we label it. If those two ever disagree on this site, the label is wrong and the product is right; tell us and we will fix the page.

The chat demos on this site run real models, but they exist to show what local and open models feel like, not to be a service you can rely on. They are rate limited, they can be slow, they can be switched off without notice, and we make no availability commitment for any of them.

Animated diagrams on this site are illustrations. Timings are sped up, hardware is drawn schematically, and the speed figures shown are targets or third-party benchmarks, not a guarantee of what your machine will do.

Every model on this site — local, open-weight, or cloud — can be confidently, fluently wrong. It can invent facts, citations, quotes, numbers, names, and law. Small models that run on your own hardware are more prone to this than the largest cloud systems, and that trade is part of what you are choosing.

Check anything that matters before you act on it. Do not use output from these models as the sole basis for a decision with legal, medical, financial, safety, or employment consequences.

Offline Base LLC does not review, endorse, or take responsibility for what any model generates, and you are responsible for what you do with it.

This site, our products, and any model output are not legal, medical, financial, tax, accounting, security, or compliance advice, and using them creates no professional relationship of any kind.

Our pages about regulated work describe what running software on your own hardware does and does not change. They are not a legal opinion about your obligations. Talk to your own counsel, compliance officer, or licensed professional about your situation.

Offline Base products are not certified, accredited, or audited under HIPAA, GDPR, FERPA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CJIS, ITAR, or any other framework, and we do not currently offer a business associate agreement or a data processing addendum.

Running a model on hardware you own can reduce the number of third parties touching your data. It does not by itself make any workflow compliant, and it does not discharge your own obligations for access control, retention, breach notification, staff training, or vendor diligence.

If a compliance obligation applies to your work, you are responsible for meeting it, and for confirming with your own advisors that anything you build on our products meets it.

Our privacy claim is specific: when a model runs on your own hardware, your prompts and files are processed there, and we never receive them. We can say that because there is no account, no telemetry, and nothing to send.

That claim is conditional on how you use it. Turning on outside help, web search, remote access, or any planned integration sends data off your machine, by your choice, and the promise narrows accordingly. Anything you paste into the demos on this site leaves your machine by definition.

We also cannot protect data on a machine that is already compromised, shared, unencrypted, or physically accessible to someone else. Local means the data is yours to secure, and securing it is your job.

Base Drive and Base Router are designed to answer on your own hardware. When a planned feature needs more than local hardware can do — a task too large for the local model, or a question that needs something current from the web — it is designed to ask you first, name exactly what would be sent, and send nothing until you approve it.

When outside help does ship, our commitment is that escalated requests go only to United States–hosted providers under zero-data-retention terms: providers that contractually do not store the request or use it for training. If no such provider is available for a request, the design is to fail and tell you rather than quietly route to one that logs.

That commitment covers the escalation feature in our products. It is not yet shipping, we cannot audit a third party's infrastructure ourselves, and we rely on their contractual terms. A provider's terms can change; if ours has to change with them, we will say so on this page.

Our products package open-weight models and open-source software made by other people. Those components carry their own licenses and their own terms of use, which ship alongside them and which you are responsible for reading and following, including any restrictions on commercial or high-risk use.

We did not train these models and cannot vouch for what is in them. Model names and marks belong to their owners, and mentioning one is not a claim of partnership, endorsement, or affiliation.

Numbers on our research page and in our marketing come from third parties, are attributed to their publisher with a link and a year, and are reproduced as we found them. Some are preprints, some are estimates, some are published by organizations with a stake in the answer, and we note that where we know it.

We check figures when we publish them and re-check them periodically. We do not warrant that any third-party figure is accurate, current, or applicable to you, and you should read the linked source before relying on one.

This site and everything on it are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Offline Base LLC disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that this site or any demo will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that any result obtained from it will be accurate or reliable.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Offline Base LLC and its owners, employees, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business, arising out of or relating to this site, its demos, or reliance on anything published here — whether the claim sounds in contract, tort, or any other theory, and even if we were advised such damages were possible.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this site is limited to one hundred United States dollars (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here excludes liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

We revise this site as the products change. The date at the top of this page is when these terms were last reviewed, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the current version.
