LUMI COMPANION SOFTWARE LICENCE AND TERMS OF USE
Effective date: 23 July 2026

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING LUMI COMPANION.

These terms govern the Lumi Companion desktop application and installer, except for components that are supplied under separate open-source or third-party licences. By installing, copying, pairing, updating, or using Lumi Companion, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not install or use the software.

1. PARTIES AND DEFINITIONS

“Developer” means OokamiKunTV, the developer and copyright holder of Lumi Companion and the Lumi project components authored by OokamiKunTV.

“Companion” means the Lumi Companion application, installer, updates, documentation, and developer-authored components supplied with it.

“Host Operator” means the person or organisation that controls the Lumi installation to which Companion is paired. The paired host URL shown by the installer identifies the technical endpoint, but may not by itself identify the Host Operator’s legal name.

“Hosted Service” means the Lumi installation, its configuration, accounts, models, storage, integrations, moderation, transcription, and other server-side functions operated by the Host Operator.

2. SEPARATE RESPONSIBILITIES

Companion is client software. It connects to a separately operated Lumi host selected through a pairing package or by the user.

The Host Operator is responsible for the Hosted Service it controls, including its configuration, availability, security, access management, user notices, legal basis for processing, retention, integrations, and compliance with laws applicable to that operation. The Developer is not automatically the Host Operator merely because the Host Operator uses Lumi software.

Where the Developer also operates the paired Lumi host, the Developer may additionally have responsibilities in that separate role. Legal responsibility always follows the actual facts and applicable law; these terms do not reassign a statutory responsibility that cannot lawfully be reassigned.

3. LICENCE GRANT

Subject to these terms, the Developer grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use Companion on devices you own or control for personal or internal organisational use with a Lumi installation you are authorised to access.

A Host Operator may redistribute an unmodified official Companion installer together with a pairing package to users authorised to access that Host Operator’s Lumi installation. No right is granted to sell, rebrand, misrepresent, or distribute modified proprietary Companion binaries without the Developer’s permission.

You may make reasonable backup copies. You may not remove proprietary notices, bypass access controls, use Companion to gain unauthorised access, or reverse engineer proprietary portions except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits this despite this restriction.

Open-source components are governed only by their respective licences. Nothing in these terms limits rights granted under those licences.

4. EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE AND USER RESPONSIBILITY

Companion may be identified as experimental, preview, beta, or pre-release software. It may contain defects, change without notice, fail to interoperate with OBS, Windows, hardware, networks, third-party services, or a particular Lumi host, and may be discontinued.

You are responsible for deciding whether Companion is suitable for your use, maintaining backups, testing changes before relying on them, protecting your accounts and devices, reviewing the Host Operator’s policies, and obtaining any permissions required before capturing or transmitting audio, captions, account information, or other data.

Companion is not designed for emergency, medical, safety-critical, legal-compliance, life-support, or other use where failure could foreseeably cause death, personal injury, or substantial physical damage.

5. DATA AND NETWORK FUNCTIONS

Companion stores local settings, an installation identifier, diagnostic logs, and a Windows user-protected device credential. When paired, it communicates with the paired Lumi host and may transmit selected OBS audio, device and component status, configuration information, test data, captions, and diagnostics needed for enabled functions.

The Privacy Notice supplied with Companion explains the default client-side behaviour. The Host Operator must provide information about server-side processing for the Hosted Service. You must not assume that the Developer receives or controls data sent to an independently operated Lumi host.

6. UPDATES, CHANGES, AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Companion may check the paired Lumi host for updates. Installation of an update remains subject to the behaviour presented by the application. Updates may add, remove, or change features and may be required for compatibility or security.

Companion may interoperate with third-party software and services, including OBS Studio and Windows. Those products are controlled by their respective providers and may be subject to separate terms. The Developer does not control and is not responsible for their continued availability, behaviour, policies, or changes.

7. SUPPORT

Unless the Developer or Host Operator separately agrees in writing, no support, maintenance, service level, response time, continued hosting, compatibility period, or update schedule is promised.

8. NO WARRANTY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, COMPANION IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, CONDITIONS, OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, COMPATIBILITY, AND ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION.

No statement, documentation, test result, roadmap, or assistance creates a warranty unless the Developer expressly agrees to it in a signed written agreement.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEVELOPER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS; LOSS OF DATA, CONTENT, PRIVACY, REVENUE, PROFITS, GOODWILL, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, OR USE; SERVICE INTERRUPTION; DEVICE OR SOFTWARE DAMAGE; THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS; OR THE CONDUCT, SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, OR DATA PROCESSING OF AN INDEPENDENT HOST OPERATOR OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO COMPANION WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO THE DEVELOPER FOR COMPANION DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These exclusions and limits do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including mandatory consumer rights and, where applicable, liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

10. BUSINESS-USER INDEMNITY

If you use Companion on behalf of a business or organisation, that business or organisation will, to the extent permitted by law, defend and indemnify the Developer against third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from its unlawful use of Companion, infringement of third-party rights, failure to obtain required permissions, or operation of a Lumi host in breach of law. This section does not apply to consumers acting wholly outside a trade or profession.

11. TERMINATION

This licence ends automatically if you materially breach these terms. On termination, you must stop using proprietary portions of Companion and remove copies under your control, except where retention is required by law or permitted by an applicable open-source licence. Sections intended by their nature to survive termination remain effective.

12. GOVERNING LAW AND MANDATORY RIGHTS

These terms are governed by the laws of Norway, excluding conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory law requires otherwise. Norwegian courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction where legally permitted.

If you are a consumer, you retain all mandatory protections and rights available under the law of your country of residence. Nothing in these terms waives a right or remedy that cannot legally be waived, restricts your right to bring proceedings in a court available under mandatory law, or requires you to accept a lower level of protection than mandatory consumer law provides.

13. GENERAL

If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms, the Privacy Notice, and applicable third-party licences form the agreement for Companion unless a separate written agreement expressly replaces them.

The English version controls to the extent permitted by law. A translation may be provided for convenience.

14. CONTACT AND OPERATOR INFORMATION

Developer: OokamiKunTV
Project: Lumi / Lumi Companion
Developer contact: use the official Lumi project support or contact channel from which the software was obtained.
