# Software terms

ValidatedWorld is open-source software provided by Adam McDaniel under the
[MIT license](../LICENSE). That license governs permission to use, copy, modify
and distribute the software, including its notice requirements, warranty
disclaimer and limitation of liability. The release archives include the license.

This package provides a local documentation workflow; it does not provide a
hosted service, publisher account, paid subscription or service-level agreement.
Support is offered through the [project support channel](support.md), without
a guaranteed response or resolution time.

Your agent host, model providers and other services have their own terms,
permissions, data policies and charges. You are responsible for choosing those
services, authorizing access to your project, and reviewing the resulting work.
Dependency review helps identify consequences but does not prove that project
claims are true or that every relevant dependency has been recorded.

See [privacy](privacy.md) for local storage, agent processing and user controls,
and [installation and packages](https://github.com/mcdanieladamg/ValidatedWorld/blob/main/docs/release_distribution.md) for current requirements
and compatibility limits.
