FM Loupe Beta Terms
Version beta-2026-11-01 · Last updated November 3, 2026 (optional usage stats added)
These terms are an agreement between you and Joe Dasilva, doing business as DataCraft ("we", "us"), for the beta of FM Loupe: the FM Loupe plug-in, the FM Loupe Companion, their skills, installer and updates (together, "FM Loupe"). You accept them by ticking the box when you get a key, in the installer, or when you activate a key. If you don't agree, don't install or use FM Loupe.
1. Your licence
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use FM Loupe on up to the number of Macs your key allows, to evaluate it and give us feedback, until the beta ends. The beta end date is the one shown on your key in the Companion. We can extend it, end it early, or turn off any key at any time.
2. Your systems, your agent
FM Loupe drives an AI agent that you choose and sign in to yourself (for example Claude Code or Codex). With your permission it can read and change FileMaker files, scripts, layouts, records and servers you point it at. AI agents make mistakes. You are responsible for what you ask it to do, for what you approve, for reviewing its work, and for keeping current backups of everything it can reach. Don't use the beta on production files or servers you can't afford to restore. Your use of the agent is also governed by that agent provider's own terms, and any costs from that provider are yours.
3. Beta software, as is
FM Loupe is pre-release software. It is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability and non-infringement. Features can change or be removed, and the beta may stop working at any time.
4. Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, files, records, profits or business, arising from FM Loupe or from anything an agent does while using it, even if we were told such damage was possible. Our total liability for any claim about the beta is limited to one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100).
5. What you may not do
You may not share your key or the installer with anyone else; sell, rent or sublicense FM Loupe; or copy, modify, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer it, except where the law expressly permits it despite this limit. You may not remove notices from it or use it to build a competing product.
6. Keep the beta confidential
The beta, its downloads and anything we share with you about unreleased features are confidential. Don't publish screenshots, recordings or reviews of the beta without asking us first.
7. Feedback
If you send us feedback, ideas or reports, we may use them freely to improve FM Loupe, with no obligation to you. Don't include other people's confidential data or personal information in what you send.
8. Your data
FM Loupe runs on your Mac. Your FileMaker files stay on your systems and go only where you and your agent send them. To check your key, FM Loupe sends us (through our licence provider, Keygen) your key, a one-way hash that identifies your Mac, your Mac's name and its platform. When you get a key we keep your name, email and the date you accepted these terms, and we may email you about the beta. Feedback you send includes what you choose to put in it. We don't sell your information.
Usage stats (optional, off unless you say yes). If you choose to share them, when you activate or in the Companion's Settings › Privacy, the Companion sends us once an hour counts of which features you use and where the agent's steps fail (for example "screenshot failed twice: file locked"), with the FM Loupe, macOS and agent versions. They go under a random id made on your Mac that is not linked to your key, name or email, and we don't store your IP address. They never include your prompts, chats, the agent's answers, error messages, files, scripts, layouts, fields, records, file or server names, or paths. We use them only to improve FM Loupe, store them with our database provider in the United States, and keep them for up to 12 months. Settings › Privacy shows exactly what's counted, turns sharing off at any time, and deletes your stats here and on our server. Questions: joe@datacraftdev.com.
9. Ending
These terms last until the beta ends or your key is turned off. You can stop at any time by removing FM Loupe. When the licence ends you must stop using the beta. Sections 2 to 9 survive.
10. General
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and the courts of Ontario have jurisdiction. We may assign these terms to a company we set up to carry on FM Loupe. If we change these terms in a way that matters, FM Loupe will ask you to agree again.
