Terms of Use
Website and software terms

Use of this website and purchases of DChat are subject to the terms below.

These terms describe the general rules for using dchat.com and the commercial framework presented on the site. Specific order pages, invoices, license files, or written agreements may add more detailed terms for a particular purchase or customer relationship.

Product model

Commercial structure

Community live chat is free. Paid features and existing perpetual licences follow the terms of the applicable plan or purchase.

Operational model

Customers deploy and operate DChat in their own environments, so infrastructure, retention, and runtime responsibility remain with the customer.

Use of the website

By visiting or using dchat.com, you agree to use the site lawfully and not in a way that interferes with the website, its users, or the business behind it. You may not attempt unauthorized access, misuse forms or downloads, or use the site to transmit unlawful or harmful material.

Product information and evaluation

We make reasonable efforts to describe DChat accurately, but screenshots, examples, feature descriptions, and implementation guidance may change over time. Community live chat may be deployed without a paid licence; paid features require the applicable licence.

Orders, licensing, and purchases

Current paid plans are described on the pricing page. Existing perpetual licences and older orders retain their applicable purchase terms. A paid licence grants the customer the rights stated in its terms; it does not transfer ownership of the software or its intellectual property.

Support and updates

Availability of updates, support, or renewal-related services may depend on the package purchased or later support arrangements. Any support scope, update eligibility, or commercial renewal terms offered outside the baseline website description may be defined in order details, support policies, or direct written communication.

Customer responsibilities

Because DChat is self-hosted, the customer is responsible for their hosting environment, deployment decisions, backups, security controls, retention policies, applicable legal compliance, and the way the software is configured and used in production.

Intellectual property

The website, product materials, documentation, code samples, branding, and software remain protected by intellectual property law and may not be copied, redistributed, or republished beyond the rights granted through the applicable license or written permission.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Except where a separate written agreement states otherwise, the website and related materials are provided on an as-is and as-available basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties and are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of the site, software, or related materials.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time by posting a revised version on this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.

Questions

Need clarification before you buy?

If you need help understanding how licensing, support scope, or rollout expectations apply to your environment, contact the team before purchase.

Self-hosted customer support software

Deploy live chat on your own terms, not on someone else's pricing model.

DChat gives you the installable server, web dashboard, website widget, and desktop agent tools in one self-hosted product, with live chat free to run, and an AI agent that answers, acts with the approvals you set and hands off to your team when you want one. Run it on infrastructure you trust, on the model you choose.

Deployment

Install on Windows or Linux, behind IIS or Nginx, in a VM, or in Docker if that fits your stack.

Commercial model

Live chat is free with unlimited agents. Premium, with the AI agent, is billed per agent per month, never per conversation.

AI Flexibility

Run the AI agent on a local Ollama model, or connect OpenAI and Anthropic with your own provider accounts.
