Terms

What you are agreeing to

Norien is provided as software, not as a service. You run it on your own hardware, under your own control. There is no account to create, no service level to promise, and no hosted component that could go down.

No warranty

The software is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. You run it at your own risk.

Agents execute real code

The runtime supervisor starts processes on your machine. An agent you install from the registry is code written by someone else, and running it grants it whatever access the operating system grants that process. The supervisor validates declared permissions before starting an agent, but a declaration is a statement of intent by its author, not a sandbox.

Read what you run. The registry pages show every agent's manifest, entrypoint, commands, required tools, and requested permissions before you install it, and norien info shows the same in a terminal.

Publishing

What you publish is yours, and you are responsible for it. Do not publish code you do not have the right to distribute, and do not publish anything designed to damage or deceive the people who install it.

Publishing is currently identified by handle rather than authenticated. That is identification, not proof of identity, and it is documented as such on the API keys page. Treat the current registry as a local development tool.

External data

Market, chain, repository, and TVL data is aggregated from third-party providers using credentials you supply. Norien normalizes and caches it; it does not guarantee it. Each provider's own terms govern your use of their API, and every response reports which sources answered so you can judge it yourself.

None of it is financial advice.

Changes

A hosted service will need terms that cover a service. These will be updated before that exists. Until then, what is written above is the whole arrangement.
