The software, and the services

The software

Surfing Dog Inbox is licensed under the MIT licence, and so is everything else in the repository: the spec, the SDK, and the connector SDK when it ships. You may run it, read it, change it, share it and build on it, including in a product you sell. Nothing you build has to be shared. The one condition is that copies of the software keep its copyright and licence notice.

The licence text in the repository is what applies. Like other open-source licences, it says the software comes with no warranty and the authors are not liable for what happens when you run it. If you run it, you are the one running it.

The services we run

This website, the documentation, the requests board and the directory are services we run. By using them you accept the terms below. If you don't accept them, please don't use them. The software works without any of them.

What you may not do

• Post anything unlawful, or anything you have no right to post.
• Pretend to be someone else, or claim to speak for a business that isn't yours.
• Attack the services, or try to reach data that isn't yours.
• Scrape so heavily that the service gets worse for other people.

We may remove a post or refuse service for any of these reasons. If we do, and you ask, we'll tell you which one.

The requests board

What you post there is public and stays public. You still own what you write, and you give us permission to show it on the site. Votes decide what we look at first. They don't promise that anything gets built, and nothing said on the board is a commitment to ship.

The directory's data

What the directory lists is under the Open Database License 1.0. You may reuse it, crediting "Surfing Dog (surfingdog.ai)", and a database you make from it is shared under the same licence. The place categories are the Overture Maps Foundation's, under CC BY 4.0. Without a key, a list pages 200 places deep. For more, ask us at hello@surfingdog.ai for a free directory key.

Availability

These services are free and offered as they are, with no uptime guarantee and no warranty. We may change or withdraw them. If something goes down, we fix it because we use it too. No contract obliges us to.

Hosting

The hosted inbox, Free or Pro, has its own terms: the hosted inbox terms, with their processing agreement and acceptable use rules.

Liability

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profit or lost data arising from the free services or the software. Nothing here limits liability that the law does not let us limit, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

Law

Portuguese law and the courts of Portugal apply. If you are a consumer in the European Union, you keep the protection of the law where you live and can bring a claim there.
