Terms of Service

Last updated: 6 May 2026

1. Agreement

By creating an account or using OpeningOS, you agree to these Terms. If you don't accept them, don't use the service. The service is operated from the European Union and these Terms are governed by French law.

2. Account

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account on your own. If you are under 16, a parent or legal guardian must create the account for you and accept these Terms on your behalf. You are responsible for keeping your password secret and for everything that happens under your account. One account per person; no shared accounts. We may close accounts that violate these Terms after notice.

3. The service

OpeningOS is a chess opening training tool. It helps you import, organise and drill your own opening preparation. It does not teach openings, sell courses, or guarantee any particular improvement in your chess strength. The product evolves; we may add, change or remove features.

4. Plans and pricing

We offer a Free tier (limited to one repertoire and the Revision mode) and a Pro subscription at €15 per month or €120 per year (a saving of about 33%). Prices include VAT where applicable. Pro unlocks unlimited repertoires, every training mode, engine play-out, and full analytics. FIDE-titled players (FM, IM, GM and the women's equivalents) get Pro for free for life after one-time verification.

5. Subscription and renewal

Pro subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly) at the then-current price. You can cancel any time from Settings → Billing; your access continues until the end of the period you've already paid for. We do not pro-rate refunds for partial periods.

6. 14-day right of withdrawal

As an EU consumer, you have 14 days from the start of your first Pro subscription to withdraw and get a full refund, no reason required. To exercise this right, email billing@openingos.com before the 14-day period ends. The right of withdrawal does not apply to renewals of an existing subscription.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Scrape, mass-download or programmatically harvest the service or other users' data;
  • Reverse-engineer, redistribute or resell access to the service;
  • Share your account credentials with third parties;
  • Use bots, scripts or AI assistance to manipulate your training stats or gameplay;
  • Upload content that infringes third-party rights, is illegal in France, or that you don't have the right to upload;
  • Use the service to send spam, harass other users, or attempt to break security.

8. Your content

The repertoires you import or build belong to you. You grant us only the limited license we need to host, display and process your content so we can run the service for you. You can export your repertoires as PGN at any time from the repertoire detail page, including after you cancel.

When you mark a repertoire as public, you grant other registered users a non-exclusive, royalty-free, revocable license to view and fork it. Revoking the share link revokes the license going forward (existing forks remain in their owners' accounts).

9. Our content

The OpeningOS software, brand, design and underlying source code are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may use them only as part of using the service as intended. No license is granted other than what is necessary to use the product.

10. Termination

You can close your account from Settings → Danger zone at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms; we'll give you reasonable notice except in cases of clear abuse, illegal activity, or security risk. Upon termination, your data is deleted as described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Service-as-is, liability

OpeningOS is provided "as is" on a best-effort basis. We aim for high availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service or freedom from bugs. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of the service is capped at the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for fraud or for damage we are not legally allowed to disclaim.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we update the date at the top and email you at least 30 days before the new version takes effect. If you don't accept the change, you can cancel your subscription before the new version applies.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by French law. Any dispute that cannot be resolved amicably will be brought before the competent courts of Paris, France. EU consumers retain the right to bring proceedings in the courts of their home country, where local law allows.
