# Terms of use

**Version** 1.0 · **Effective** 13 November 2026 · **Owner** Dr Sohil Momin

These terms cover your use of KILN: the compiler, `studio.html`, `index.html`, `demo.html`,
the documentation, and the applications it generates.

---

## 1. Licence, not sale

KILN is licensed, not sold. The software is made available under the
**PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0** (see [`LICENSE`](LICENSE)). Noncommercial use is
permitted on those terms. Any commercial use — selling it, bundling it into a paid product,
or using it to deliver paid work — requires a separate written licence
(see [`COMMERCIAL.md`](COMMERCIAL.md)).

## 2. Editions and attribution

KILN comes in two editions, described in [`LICENSING.md`](LICENSING.md). The edition a build
was made under is recorded in the generated file.

| Edition | What the file carries |
|---|---|
| Personal | licence line, "Built with KILN", the sponsor and author block, the build record |
| Commercial | one line, "Built with KILN", and the build record |

Removing or altering that record does not change the edition the build was made under, and
does not grant a licence you did not buy.

## 3. Applications you generate

Applications you generate belong to you. You may use, modify, distribute and sell them,
subject to:

- the licences of anything you put into them yourself;
- the law of wherever you and your users are;
- the fact that KILN provides no warranty about them (section 4).

The specification you write is also yours. The compiler, its templates and its catalogue
remain under the licence in section 1.

## 4. What you are responsible for

| You are responsible for | Because |
|---|---|
| The content of your specs and your generated apps | KILN compiles what you write; it does not review it |
| Whether a generated app is fit for your purpose | no software is fit for every purpose, and KILN does not claim to know yours |
| Personal data you put into an app you build | it stays on your device; the obligations are yours |
| Any output you take from a third-party model | that model's terms apply to it, not KILN's |
| Backups | a generated app stores data in a browser; clearing site data erases it |

## 5. No warranty

KILN is provided **as is**, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. The entire risk as
to quality and performance is with you.

The compiler is tested, and the tests are in the repository so you can run them. That is not
the same as a warranty, and it should not be read as one.

## 6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the author is not liable for any direct, indirect,
incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data, lost profit or business
interruption, arising from the use of or inability to use KILN, even if advised of the
possibility.

## 7. No professional advice

Nothing in KILN or its documentation is medical, legal, financial or safety advice. See
[`DISCLAIMER.md`](DISCLAIMER.md). Applications built with KILN that operate in those domains
are your responsibility, and the disclaimers you ship with them are yours to write.

## 8. Contributions

Contributions are accepted on the terms in [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md), which
includes an inbound licence grant.

## 9. Termination

Your licence to use KILN ends automatically if you breach section 1. Applications you
already generated are yours and are unaffected.

## 10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at the owner's place of
residence have exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing here removes a consumer right you have under
mandatory law.

## 11. Changes

Material changes will be recorded in [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md), with a new version and
effective date, in the same commit.
