Terms of Service

The PicoClaw website provides project introductions, installation guides, feature overviews, performance comparisons, documentation access, and open-source resource links. PicoClaw is a self-hosted personal AI assistant project developed in Go; it is not a hosted AI chat service, nor is it an official product of Telegram, Discord, QQ, DingTalk, or any LLM provider.

PicoClaw is released as an open-source project. Specific licensing scope, copyright notices, and usage conditions are governed by the LICENSE file and source code documentation within 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.

If you deploy PicoClaw, you are solely responsible for your own hardware, servers, containers, network, API keys, access control, logs, backups, and updates. While lightweight and single-binary deployment reduces operational complexity, it does not replace the need for system security, permission management, and auditing.

PicoClaw can connect to model services such as OpenRouter, Zhipu AI, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Groq. You are responsible for providing your own API keys and bearing any costs, rate limits, availability changes, and terms of service constraints imposed by these third-party providers.

PicoClaw may process messages or trigger automated tasks through platforms such as Telegram, Discord, QQ, and DingTalk. You must ensure that your bots, groups, workspaces, and automated actions comply with the respective platform's rules, and you must avoid spam, harassment, or unauthorized data processing.

You may use PicoClaw for personal productivity, code assistance, research, content creation, scheduled tasks, 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 third-party platform rules.

The content on this website is provided "as is" and may become outdated as the project, dependencies, third-party APIs, and deployment methods evolve.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 documentation clear, we do not guarantee that all content is always accurate, complete, uninterrupted, or suitable for your specific purposes. PicoClaw does not provide legal, security, compliance, financial, or professional advice.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the project maintainers are not liable for any indirect damages resulting 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 develops; by continuing to access the website or use the project, you acknowledge and accept the updated terms.

If you have questions regarding these terms, please contact the maintainers via the public PicoClaw GitHub repository or community channels. Please do not submit API keys, passwords, private logs, or other sensitive information through public channels.
