The software is distributed under the OpenDocBot License. By using, copying, modifying, or distributing the software, you agree to the terms of that license. These Terms of Use govern your use of the hosted add-in and website; the software license governs the source code.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the developer or contributors of OpenDocBot be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages (including, but not limited to, loss of data, document corruption, business interruption, or financial loss) arising out of or in connection with the use or inability to use this application.

3. User Responsibility & AI Output

• Accuracy of AI Models: You acknowledge that Large Language Models (LLMs) can produce inaccurate, misleading, or biased outputs ("hallucinations"). You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying any text or data generated before applying it to your documents.
• API Key Management & Costs: You are responsible for securing your own API keys and monitoring any usage fees incurred with third-party LLM providers.

5. Termination

Your rights under these Terms continue while you use OpenDocBot. We may suspend or terminate access to the hosted instance if you breach these Terms, or for operational or security reasons. You may stop using the add-in at any time; sections that by their nature survive termination (including Limitation of Liability, Governing Law, and Disclaimers) will remain in effect.

6. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. Continued use of the add-in after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
