Terms of Service

Welcome to terminaI. These terms govern your use of our open-source terminal operator AI. By using terminaI, you agree to these terms.

1. What is terminaI?

terminaI is an open-source, sovereign terminal operator AI that provides governed autonomy for system operations. It combines AI capabilities with strict safety controls to help users operate their systems more effectively.

2. Open Source License

terminaI is released under the Apache License 2.0. This means you are free to use, modify, and distribute the software subject to the terms of that license. The source code is available on GitHub at github.com/Prof-Harita/terminaI.

3. Your Responsibilities

As a user of terminaI, you agree to:

• Use the software in compliance with applicable laws and regulations
• Respect the safety mechanisms and approval systems built into terminaI
• Not attempt to bypass or circumvent safety controls
• Use terminaI only on systems you have legitimate access to operate
• Respect the privacy and data of others when using shared systems

4. Community Maintenance

This is a best-effort community project. We strive to:

• Maintain the open-source nature of terminaI
• Provide reasonable safety mechanisms to prevent misuse
• Review contributions and security reports
• Respect your privacy and data sovereignty

There is no implied Service Level Agreement (SLA) or guarantee of support.

5. Safety and Security

terminaI implements multiple layers of safety controls including approval ladders, audit logging, and fail-safe mechanisms. However, as with any software that can execute system commands, there are inherent risks. You acknowledge that:

• AI systems can make mistakes or be exploited
• You are ultimately responsible for the commands executed on your system
• You should review and understand what terminaI is doing before approving actions
• You should not use terminaI on critical systems without proper testing

6. Data and Privacy

terminaI is designed with privacy in mind. When using Google's Gemini API:

• Your queries may be processed by Google's servers
• You should review Google's privacy policy for their AI services
• We recommend using API keys you control and understand the data flows
• Local operations (like voice processing) stay on your device

terminaI includes audit logging features. These logs stay local to your system unless you explicitly configure remote logging. You control what gets logged and where.

7. No Warranties

terminaI is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We make no guarantees about its suitability for any particular purpose. You use it at your own risk.

8. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the creators or contributors of terminaI be liable for any damages arising from your use of the software, including but not limited to data loss, system damage, or operational disruptions.

9. Contributing

We welcome contributions to terminaI. By contributing code, documentation, or other materials, you agree to license your contributions under the same Apache License 2.0 terms as the rest of the project.

10. Changes to Terms

These terms may be updated as terminaI evolves. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes, but you should review these terms periodically.
