Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Yggdrasil ("the Service", "we", "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Nature of the Service

Yggdrasil is an informational catalog that publishes AI-assisted, curator-reviewed safety ratings for publicly available open source software repositories. The Service provides:

• Safety ratings based on automated analysis and human review
• Summaries of security findings derived from publicly available data
• Links to third-party repositories hosted on external platforms

Yggdrasil is an independent informational resource. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any of the projects listed in the catalog.

3. No Security Guarantee — Important Disclaimer

Ratings published on Yggdrasil are informational only. They do not constitute a security guarantee, certification, audit, or professional opinion.

Our analysis is based on publicly available signals at a point in time. It is not a comprehensive security audit and does not include dynamic testing, code execution, or review of private forks. Open source projects change continuously — a rating that was accurate on the date of review may no longer reflect the current state of a project.

You are solely responsible for conducting your own due diligence before integrating any software into your systems, products, or workflows. A "Safe" rating from Yggdrasil does not mean a project is free of vulnerabilities, malicious code, or other risks.

4. No Responsibility for Listed Code

Yggdrasil does not own, maintain, control, or distribute any of the open source software listed in the catalog. All listed projects are third-party works governed by their own licenses and maintained by their respective authors.

We are not responsible for any harm, damage, loss, or liability arising from the use, misuse, installation, execution, or reliance upon any software listed in the catalog, regardless of the safety rating assigned to that software.

5. Your Responsibility

By using this Service, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You make your own independent decisions about whether to adopt, integrate, or deploy any software listed in the catalog.
• You are responsible for reviewing applicable open source licenses and ensuring compliance before using any listed software.
• You will not rely on Yggdrasil ratings as a substitute for professional security assessment in regulated, safety-critical, or high-risk environments.
• You understand that AI-generated analysis may contain errors, omissions, or false positives/negatives.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YGGDRASIL AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Loss of data, revenue, or profits
• Security incidents, breaches, or data exposure
• Business interruption or system downtime
• Costs of remediation arising from use of any listed software

THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

8. Third-Party Links and Content

The catalog contains links to external repositories and websites. These links are provided for convenience only. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

9. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep catalog information accurate and up-to-date, but we make no representations or warranties as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of any information on the Service. Ratings and findings may be outdated, incomplete, or incorrect.

10. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made.
