Pip terms of use
Short version. Pip is open-source software under the MIT licence. The official app is free for 7 days; after that the island and your agents' status stay free, and the other tabs need a one-time license of TSh 5,000, which is non-refundable: try everything in the free 7 days first. It comes as it is, with no warranty. Do not use Pip or its services to break the law or to harm anyone.
Kwa ufupi. Pip ni software ya open source chini ya leseni ya MIT. App rasmi ni bure kwa siku 7; baadaye island na hali ya ma-agent wako vinabaki bure, na tabs nyingine zinahitaji leseni ya mara moja ya TSh 5,000, ambayo hairudishwi: jaribu kila kitu kwenye siku 7 za bure kwanza. Inakuja kama ilivyo, bila dhamana. Usitumie Pip wala huduma zake kuvunja sheria au kumdhuru mtu yeyote.
1. Who we are and what these terms cover
Pip is made by BANG DIGITAL LTD, Tanzania ("we"). These terms cover the Pip app for Windows and Mac, the website pip.bang.co.tz, and the online services Pip offers: the optional Pip account (preferences sync), the update check and the file relay used to send files between your phone and your computer. By installing Pip or using these services you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use them.
2. The licence
Pip's source code is published under the MIT licence. You may use, copy, change and share it, including commercially, as long as the copyright and licence notice stay with it. The name "Pip", the Pip mascot and the BANG DIGITAL name are ours: you may not present a changed version as the official Pip.
3. The Pip account (optional)
- You sign in with Google. You must be allowed to use that Google account and be at least 13 years old.
- The account keeps your Pip preferences, note, weather town and calendar link so your other devices can use them. What is kept, and how, is described in the privacy policy.
- You can delete your account at any time in Pip: Settings, Connections, Delete my Pip account.
- We may remove accounts that are abused (for example, used to store content that is unlawful or that is not Pip settings), or that have not been used for more than two years.
3a. Price and payment (no refunds)
The official Pip app is free for 7 days from the first time it checks in with us, with everything open. After that, the island and your agents' status keep working for free; the other tabs need a license. The license costs TSh 5,000, paid once, and belongs to your Pip account: it unlocks Pip on every PC and Mac signed in to that account, for this and later versions.
Payments are handled by EvPay (EvMak Tanzania): mobile money (M-Pesa, Mixx by Yas, Airtel Money, HaloPesa) through a prompt on your phone, or a card on EvPay's own page. We never see your card details or your mobile-money PIN.
The license is non-refundable. The 7-day trial opens every tab so you can decide before paying, and once a payment has gone through it is not returned. If a payment goes through but Pip does not unlock, email info@bang.co.tz with the phone number or email you paid with and we will unlock it on your account. Building Pip yourself from the source code is allowed by the MIT licence and needs no license from us.
4. Sending files between your phone and your computer
- Only send files you have the right to send. You are responsible for what you send.
- When the phone and the computer are not on the same network, files pass through our server in encrypted form and are deleted after one hour. We cannot read them, and we do not keep copies.
- Do not use the relay to spread malware, to share content that is illegal in Tanzania or where you are, or to send files to people without their consent.
5. Your AI agents and other services
Pip shows and controls tools you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Calendar and others. Their own terms apply to your use of them. Pip's chat sends your messages to the coding agent you chose, through your own login on your computer; their answers come from that agent, not from us, and may be wrong. Check anything important before you rely on it.
6. Acceptable use
Do not try to break into, overload or disrupt pip.bang.co.tz or its services, get around their limits, or use them to reach other people's data. We may block traffic that does this.
7. No warranty
Pip and its services are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. The online services may change, pause or stop. Keep your own copies of anything that matters to you.
8. Limitation of liability
As far as the law allows, BANG DIGITAL LTD is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profit or business, arising from your use of Pip or its services. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited.
9. Changes
We may update these terms. The new version is published on this page with a new date. If a change is significant we will also say so in the release notes. Using Pip after a change means you accept the new terms.
10. Law and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of the United Republic of Tanzania. Questions: info@bang.co.tz · BANG DIGITAL LTD, Tanzania.
