Terms of Service
These Terms govern your use of the R-Searcher website, public documentation, feedback channels, and any packaged extension builds we distribute. The project is now published as an open-source, self-hosted workflow, so you are also responsible for reviewing the repository license and the terms of any infrastructure you use in your own deployment.
1. The Project
R-Searcher is an AI-assisted reading workflow for Chrome. The public repository includes the extension source, worker source, and self-hosting materials. The website explains the product, links to the repository, and provides contact forms.
2. Open-Source and Self-Hosted Use
The source code is available in the public repository linked from this site. If you deploy the worker or run the extension against your own backend, you are operating your own environment.
- You are responsible for your hosting account, API keys, logs, configuration, monitoring, and provider costs
- You are responsible for reviewing the repository license before copying, modifying, or redistributing the code
- You are responsible for compliance requirements that apply to the data you process through your deployment
3. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the website, forms, extension, or repository materials for unlawful, harmful, or abusive activity
- Submit confidential, privileged, regulated, or otherwise sensitive content unless you are authorized to process it in your own environment
- Misrepresent your deployment as an official managed service operated by us when it is actually your own hosted instance
- Abuse feedback channels, spam forms, or disrupt the public project resources
4. AI-Generated Content
R-Searcher may produce summaries, explanations, and follow-up responses generated by AI systems. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. You are responsible for verifying important information before relying on it.
5. Your Content
You retain ownership of content you process through your own deployment. If you submit feedback, bug reports, screenshots, or other materials to us through the site or repository, you allow us to review and use that material to diagnose issues and improve the project.
6. Intellectual Property and Branding
The source code license is defined in the public repository. Branding, logos, site copy, and related project identity may still be subject to separate rights unless the repository states otherwise. Review the repository before reusing branded assets in redistributed builds.
7. No Managed Service Promise
This website does not promise an always-on shared hosted backend for your extension usage. The self-hosted flow depends on infrastructure you choose and operate, and public resources such as docs, repository links, and packaged builds may change over time.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
R-Searcher is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, bug-free behavior, compatibility with every website, or fitness for any particular purpose.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or data-related damages arising from your use of the website, documentation, extension, source code, or any self-hosted deployment.
10. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms as the website, docs, and project distribution evolve. Continued use of the site after updates means you accept the revised Terms.
