Terms of Service

Last updated: June 3, 2026

These Terms of Service govern your access to the Echo website, documentation, downloads, and related project materials. By using the website or downloading Echo, you agree to these Terms.

Echo

Echo is a lightweight desktop app for managing local Docker environments. The current release focuses on local development workflows and is provided as an early MVP.

You are responsible for the Docker environments, containers, images, volumes, networks, logs, shells, and local infrastructure you manage with Echo.

Accounts and paid features

Echo currently does not require an account to use the public website or the desktop app.

The website may describe future Pro features. Those features are not available until released, and descriptions may change as the product develops.

Downloads

Echo currently ships as unsigned portable archives. Your operating system may display security warnings or require extra confirmation before the app can run.

Download Echo only from official project links, such as the Echo GitHub Releases page. You are responsible for verifying that downloaded files are appropriate for your device and environment.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the website, documentation, downloads, or project infrastructure. This includes attempts to:

• Interfere with the website or project services.
• Distribute malware or harmful content through project channels.
• Misrepresent your relationship with Echo or the Echo Authors.
• Violate applicable laws or third-party rights.
• Use Echo in a way that violates the applicable software license.

Software license

Your use, copying, modification, redistribution, and production use of Echo are governed by the applicable software license, not by these Terms alone.

See the License page for the current license text.

Intellectual property

The Echo name, website content, documentation, interface screenshots, and project materials are owned by the Echo Authors or their respective contributors, unless otherwise stated.

These Terms do not grant rights to use Echo trademarks, logos, or branding except as permitted by law or explicit project permission.

Third-party services

Echo and this website may link to third-party services such as GitHub, Docker, operating system vendors, package hosts, or documentation resources.

Those third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Echo is not responsible for third-party services, content, availability, or security practices.

No warranties

Echo, the website, documentation, and downloads are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Echo Authors disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, security, and accuracy.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Echo Authors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from your use of or inability to use Echo, the website, documentation, or downloads.

You are responsible for backing up important local data before managing containers, images, volumes, or networks.

Changes

These Terms may be updated from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date.

Your continued use of the website or downloads after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
