Terms

Hoy is open source under the MIT License. That license is the real legal grant, and it governs your right to use, copy, and modify the software. You can read the full text on GitHub. Where anything on this page and the MIT License disagree, the license wins.

Hoy drives a coding agent that reads your files, edits them, and runs commands on your machine. That is the entire point, and it also means a bad prompt or an overeager agent can change or delete work. Use version control, keep backups, and read what it proposes before you let it run wide. You decide what Hoy has access to and what it is allowed to do.

Hoy is provided "as-is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Beta means bugs included. We do not promise it is correct, uninterrupted, or safe for any particular use.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any damages arising from your use of Hoy, including lost data, lost work, lost profits, or damaged code, whether the claim is in contract, tort, or anything else. Hoy is free software, and this cap is part of the deal for it being free.

Hoy uses the API keys you supply, and your model calls go directly to those providers. You are bound by each provider's own terms, and you pay them directly for what you use. We never see the bill and are not part of that transaction.

Do not use Hoy to break the law, to build things designed to harm others, or to violate the terms of the model providers it connects to. Beyond that, it is your tool. Use it well.

These terms can change as Hoy grows up. When they do, this page changes and the date at the top moves with it. Continuing to use Hoy after a change means you accept it. If you have a question, open an issue on GitHub.
