Terms of Service
Learn about NanoClaw's open-source usage, self-hosting responsibilities, third-party APIs, WhatsApp integration, disclaimers, and usage restrictions.
Service Overview
The NanoClaw website provides project introductions, installation instructions, feature descriptions, documentation portals, and links to open-source resources. NanoClaw is a self-hostable personal Claude assistant project; it is not a hosted AI chat service, an official WhatsApp product, or an official product of Anthropic.
Open Source License
NanoClaw is released as an open-source project. The specific scope of the license, copyright notices, and conditions of use are governed by the LICENSE file and source code documentation in the project repository. You may use, copy, modify, and distribute the software within the permitted scope of the license, provided that you retain all necessary copyright and license notices.
Self-Hosting Responsibilities
If you deploy NanoClaw, you are solely responsible for your servers, containers, networking, API keys, access control, logs, backups, and updates. While container isolation can reduce risks, it is not a substitute for proper system security, permission management, and auditing.
NanoClaw may execute scripts, access mounted directories, or process requests from WhatsApp groups. Please enable these capabilities only in environments where you understand the risks, and restrict access to trusted users only.
Third-Party APIs and Costs
NanoClaw typically requires a connection to the Anthropic API to utilize Claude's model capabilities. You must provide your own Anthropic API Key and assume responsibility for any costs, rate limits, availability changes, and terms imposed by third-party services.
WhatsApp integration, GitHub, Discord, Twitter, and other third-party links are controlled by their respective service providers. When using these services, you must comply with their respective terms of service, privacy policies, and usage restrictions.
Permitted and Prohibited Conduct
You may use NanoClaw for personal productivity, coding assistance, research, content creation, and automated workflows. You must not use the website or software for illegal activities, infringement, spam, credential theft, unauthorized access, distribution of malicious code, harassment, or bypassing the rules of third-party platforms.
Content Accuracy and Disclaimers
The content on this website is provided "as is" and may become outdated as the project, dependencies, third-party APIs, and deployment methods evolve. While we strive to keep our documentation clear, we do not guarantee that all content is always accurate, complete, uninterrupted, or suitable for your specific purposes.
NanoClaw does not provide legal, security, compliance, financial, or professional advice. Before deploying and using the software, you should conduct your own testing and risk assessment based on your specific environment.
Limitation of Liability and Updates
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the project maintainers shall not be liable for any indirect damages arising from the use of the website, source code, third-party services, API costs, data loss, deployment errors, or security incidents.
We may update these terms as the project evolves. Continued access to the website or use of the project constitutes your understanding and acceptance of the updated terms.
Contact Information
If you have feedback regarding these terms, please contact the maintainers via the public NanoClaw GitHub repository or community channels. Please do not submit API keys, passwords, private logs, or other sensitive information through public channels.
