Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the LibreChat documentation website at librechat.ai (the “Site”), operated by the LibreChat project maintainers (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

These Terms apply to the documentation website only. The LibreChat application itself, which you self-host and operate, is licensed separately under the MIT License. Use of the public LibreChat Demo is governed by its separate Demo Terms of Service and Demo Privacy Policy.

2. Purpose of the Site

The Site exists to host informational and technical content about the open-source LibreChat project, including:

• Installation, configuration, and operations guides.
• Reference documentation for features, APIs, and integrations.
• Release notes, changelogs, and roadmap information.
• Blog posts, tutorials, and project announcements.
• Contributing guidelines and community resources.

The Site is provided free of charge, does not require registration, and does not offer commercial products or paid services.

3. Eligibility

The Site is intended for software developers, IT administrators, and other professional users. By using the Site you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms in your jurisdiction. If you access the Site on behalf of an employer or another organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

4. Open-Source Project

LibreChat is an open-source project. The application source code is published at github.com/danny-avila/LibreChat under the MIT License. The Site itself is published at github.com/LibreChat-AI/librechat.ai, and we welcome contributions through pull requests in accordance with that repository's contribution guidelines.

5. Use of Documentation Content

Unless otherwise noted on a specific page, the documentation content is made available under the same MIT License that governs the LibreChat application. Subject to that license, you may freely:

• Read, search, and download the documentation for personal or business purposes.
• Share links and excerpts of the documentation.
• Reproduce or adapt the documentation in your own materials, provided that the MIT License notice is preserved where the license requires it.
• Use the documentation to install, configure, operate, and customize your own instances of LibreChat.

Trademarks, logos, and brand assets associated with the LibreChat project remain the property of their respective owners and are not licensed under the MIT License. Please do not use them in a manner that could imply endorsement or affiliation without our permission.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Site responsibly and in accordance with applicable law. In particular, you must not:

• Attempt to disrupt, degrade, or impair the Site, including by submitting excessive automated requests, conducting denial-of-service attacks, or probing for unauthorized access.
• Circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security or rate-limiting features of the Site.
• Scrape, crawl, or otherwise extract content from the Site in a manner that materially burdens our infrastructure or violates the directives in our robots.txt. Reasonable, well-behaved crawlers (for example, search-engine and AI-training crawlers that respect robots.txt) are welcome.
• Use the Site to publish, transmit, or facilitate unlawful, harmful, defamatory, or infringing material.
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or impersonate the LibreChat project or its maintainers.
• Use the Site in any way that violates export-control, sanctions, intellectual property, or data-protection laws.

7. Privacy and Analytics

Your privacy is governed by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. In summary, the Site does not set cookies, does not collect personal data for marketing, and uses only privacy-preserving, self-hosted analytics and performance measurements that cannot identify you. By using the Site you acknowledge the data handling described in those policies.

8. Third-Party Services and Links

The Site contains links and references to third-party services, software, and websites (for example, package registries, model providers, infrastructure vendors, and community forums). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, terms, or privacy practices of any third-party service, and your use of those services is governed by their own terms and policies.

9. User Contributions

If you submit a contribution to the Site — for example, a documentation pull request, an issue, or a comment — through the project's public repositories, you do so under the terms of the relevant repository's LICENSE file and contribution guidelines. You represent that you have the right to submit the contribution and grant the licenses required by those documents.

10. Intellectual Property

Except for content explicitly licensed under the MIT License or another license stated on the relevant page, all rights in and to the Site, including its design, arrangement, and selection of content, remain the property of the LibreChat project maintainers and their contributors. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of third-party intellectual property referenced in the documentation.

11. No Warranty

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Documentation may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors and may be updated at any time without notice.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the LibreChat project maintainers, contributors, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use the Site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the extent that liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us to use the Site (which is zero) and (b) USD one hundred (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages; in those jurisdictions the foregoing limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law, and nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have that cannot be lawfully limited.

13. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the LibreChat project maintainers, contributors, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Site in violation of these Terms or applicable law.

14. Availability and Changes to the Site

We may modify, suspend, relocate, or discontinue all or part of the Site at any time without notice. We are not liable for any unavailability of the Site or for the loss of any content or links resulting from such changes. Where reasonable, we will redirect content that has moved.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the Site, in our practices, or in applicable law. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, communicated more prominently. Your continued use of the Site following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the LibreChat maintainers organize their operations, without regard to that jurisdiction's conflict-of-laws principles. Where you are a consumer protected by mandatory local law, those protections take precedence over this clause to the extent required.

Before initiating any formal proceeding, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site through informal communication, including by opening an issue in the project repository or by contacting us at the address below.

17. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.

18. Contact

For questions about these Terms or about the LibreChat project, please contact us at [email protected] or open an issue in the project repository.

By using this documentation site, you agree to these Terms of Service and to the policies they incorporate by reference.
