You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to use Aera. If you are under the required age, you must have your parent or legal guardian review and agree to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Software License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use Aera Browser on devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not:

Copy, modify, or distribute the Software except as expressly permitted
Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except where permitted by applicable law
Rent, lease, lend, sell, or sublicense the Software
Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices in the Software

3. AI Agent Functionality

Aera Browser includes an integrated AI agent ("the Agent") that can perform actions on your behalf within the browser environment. You acknowledge and agree to the following:

3.1 Agent Capabilities

The Agent can navigate to websites, read page content, click elements, type text, scroll, take screenshots, and perform other browser interactions based on your instructions. The Agent acts as your automated representative when interacting with websites and web applications.

3.2 User Authorization

By using the Agent, you authorize it to perform actions on websites where you may be logged in or have accounts. This includes but is not limited to social media platforms, email services, e-commerce sites, and financial services. You are solely responsible for all actions the Agent performs on your behalf.

3.3 AI Limitations

The Agent uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. AI systems can make mistakes, misinterpret instructions, or produce unexpected results. You acknowledge that:

The Agent may not always correctly understand your instructions
The Agent may perform unintended actions
AI-generated outputs and decisions should be verified by you
The Agent cannot guarantee accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness of its actions

3.4 Third-Party AI Services

The Agent functionality requires an API key from a third-party AI provider (currently OpenRouter). Your use of these services is subject to the respective provider's terms of service and privacy policies. Your API key is stored locally on your device and we do not have access to it. Data sent to AI providers is processed according to their privacy policies.

4. Security Risks & Prompt Injection

Important: Please read this section carefully.

4.1 Prompt Injection Vulnerabilities

AI agents that interact with web content are inherently susceptible to "prompt injection" attacks. Malicious actors may embed hidden instructions or manipulated content within websites that could influence the Agent's behavior. This is a known limitation of current AI technology.

4.2 Potential Risks Include:

Manipulated Actions: Malicious website content could potentially instruct the Agent to perform unintended actions
Data Exfiltration: Crafted content could attempt to cause the Agent to reveal sensitive information
Unauthorized Transactions: Compromised instructions could lead to unintended purchases or actions
Account Compromise: Malicious prompts could attempt to manipulate account settings or permissions
Social Engineering: Deceptive content could mislead the Agent into performing harmful actions

4.3 User Responsibility

By using Aera Browser and its AI Agent features, you acknowledge and accept these security risks. You assume full responsibility for:

Monitoring and reviewing the Agent's actions
Avoiding use of the Agent on sensitive or high-risk websites without careful supervision
Understanding that no technical safeguards can completely prevent prompt injection attacks
Any consequences arising from the Agent's interactions with malicious content
Implementing appropriate precautions when using automated browsing features

4.4 Recommended Precautions

We strongly recommend:

Reviewing Agent actions before confirming sensitive operations
Avoiding automated actions on financial, healthcare, or other critical services without supervision
Being cautious when visiting unfamiliar websites with Agent features enabled
Regularly reviewing your accounts for unauthorized activity

5. MCP Server Functionality

Aera includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows external AI tools and applications to interact with the browser.

5.1 MCP Capabilities

When enabled, the MCP server allows external tools to:

Navigate the browser to specified URLs
Read page content and extract information
Perform clicks, typing, and other interactions
Take screenshots of browser content
Access structured page element information

5.2 User Control

You have control over the MCP server through Aera's settings. You can enable or disable the server and configure its persistence. By enabling the MCP server, you authorize external tools to control browser actions on your behalf.

5.3 Security Considerations

The MCP server exposes powerful browser control capabilities. You are responsible for ensuring that only trusted applications connect to the MCP server. We are not responsible for actions taken by external tools through the MCP interface.

6. Third-Party Services
