SVN Desktop Terms of Use and License
Last updated November 8, 2026
In short: you can try SVN Desktop for 7 days. After that, a license covers one computer at a time for the period you bought (1, 2 or 3 years), with no automatic renewal. Your repositories and code never go through our servers.
1. Who we are and who these terms apply to
SVN Desktop is developed and licensed by BeSales Tecnologia (Brazilian company, CNPJ 54.891.264/0001-01) ("BeSales"). These terms apply to anyone who installs or uses SVN Desktop ("you"), during the free trial or with a paid license. By installing or using the software, you agree to them.
2. Free trial
The first launch starts a free 7-day trial with every feature, no sign-up and no credit card. When it ends, the app asks for a license to continue.
3. The license
BeSales grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license, revocable under these terms, to install and use SVN Desktop:
- on one computer at a time, for the period you bought (1, 2 or 3 years), counted from payment confirmation;
- you may move to another computer at any time by removing the license from the old one (License menu) or releasing the activation on the "My licenses" page;
- the license is personal: it may not be shared, resold, lent or used on several computers at the same time.
Your license key is your proof of purchase. Keep it safe and do not publish it.
4. Online activation and validation
Activation requires an internet connection and ties the license to an anonymous computer identifier. Once activated, the app confirms the license with our server periodically and works for up to 30 days in a row offline. The data involved is described in the Privacy Policy.
5. Payment, validity and renewal
- Payment is a one-time charge per period, in US dollars (USD), processed by Stripe. There are no recurring charges and no automatic renewal.
- When the license expires, the app asks you to renew. A renewal adds the new period to your current expiration date (or to the payment date, if the license has already expired).
- Price changes do not affect periods already paid for.
- Taxes and bank or currency-conversion fees charged by your bank or card issuer are your responsibility.
Refunds follow the Refund Policy (14 days, full refund).
6. Updates
The app checks for and installs updates published by BeSales (fixes and improvements). Every update is digitally signed and verified before installation. You can turn off automatic downloads in Preferences.
7. What is not allowed
- circumventing, disabling or tampering with activation, license validation or update verification;
- generating, distributing or using license keys or tokens not issued by BeSales;
- decompiling or reverse-engineering the software, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits;
- redistributing, sublicensing or renting the software.
8. Third-party components
SVN Desktop includes open-source software such as Apache Subversion (Apache License 2.0), Electron and other libraries. Those components are governed by their own licenses, whose texts ship with the app; nothing in these terms restricts the rights those licenses give you.
GitHub and GitHub Desktop are trademarks of GitHub, Inc.; Apache Subversion and Subversion are trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation. SVN Desktop is not affiliated with these companies.
9. Your data and your code
The app talks directly to your Subversion server. Your repositories, your code and your SVN credentials never go through BeSales servers.
10. Warranty and liability
SVN Desktop is provided "as is". We work to make it reliable, but we do not warrant that it is error-free or that it meets every specific need. Keep backups of your work: Subversion keeps history on the server, and the app never deletes what has already been committed.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BeSales' total liability for damages related to the software is limited to the amount you paid for the license in the 12 months before the event. Nothing in these terms limits consumer rights that cannot be waived by contract under the law that applies to you.
11. Termination
A license may be canceled after a refund, payment fraud or a breach of these terms. When a license ends, the app stops working until it is activated again; your working copies remain regular Subversion working copies, usable with any other client.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. Material changes apply to periods purchased after publication; the effective date is shown at the top of this page.
13. Governing law and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence.
