Terms & Privacy

Bolt (@bolt-builder/bolt-cli) is licensed under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0. You may use, copy, modify, and distribute the software for any noncommercial purpose, including personal projects, education, research, open source work, and use by charitable and government organizations.

Commercial use is not granted by this license. If Bolt is part of how a business generates revenue, contact us to arrange a commercial license. The license text is authoritative; this page is a summary and not legal advice.

The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Bolt runs AI agents that can read, modify, and execute code on your machine. You are responsible for reviewing what it does. Keep your work in version control and use read-only agents when you are not ready for changes.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the author is not liable for any damages, data loss, or costs (including model provider charges) arising from use of the software.

Bolt sends prompts and file context to whichever AI provider you configure. Those requests are governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy, not this one. Review them before sending proprietary code, and use bolt export --sanitize when sharing transcripts.

Sessions, message history, and project memory are stored locally in sqlite inside your project's .bolt directory. Nothing is uploaded to us. You can inspect it at any time with bolt db and delete it with bolt session delete or by removing the directory.

Sharing a session with run --share publishes that transcript to a share URL. Only share sessions you are comfortable making public.

This site is static and does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Aggregate, non-identifying traffic analytics may be collected to understand which pages are useful. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, and links to GitHub and npm are subject to those services' policies.

If a contact form is submitted, the message and the email address you supply are used only to reply to you.

These terms may change as the project evolves. Material changes will be noted in the changelog. Continuing to use Bolt after a change means you accept the updated terms.
