# Matebot terms

Last updated: November 5, 2026

Matebot is self-hosted open source software, not a hosted product. The [Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/Lizer2009/matebot/blob/main/LICENSE) governs your use of the code, and the person or organization operating the server you connect to is responsible for that deployment and its own terms.

Matebot is a fork of the Apache-2.0 [Rakazo](https://github.com/elie222/rakazo) project by Inbox Zero Inc., and the upstream license and notices carry over unchanged.

You are responsible for your account and for actions your bots take on your behalf, including in scheduled routines; give bots only the access they need and require approval for actions that are hard to undo. AI output can be wrong, so review it before relying on it, and do not use Matebot where an error could cause serious harm. Do not use it to break the law, send spam or malware, access systems without authorization, abuse its computers, or violate the terms of connected providers. You keep ownership of your content and bot output, and you pay any fees charged by third-party services, including usage on your own API keys.

The software is provided as is, without warranties or conditions of any kind, as set out in the Apache License 2.0. To the extent permitted by law, the authors and contributors are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the software.
