Terms of Service

You must be 13+ to create an account. You're responsible for keeping your password secure and for activity on your account. One person per account — no sharing credentials.

You own what you write. You grant us a license to store, display, and process your content only as needed to run the service (serving your pages, making backups, running provider requests you initiate). We don't claim any other rights.

Don't use DAN to:

• Violate any law or regulation.
• Upload malicious code.
• Attempt to bypass rate limits, quotas, or security measures.
• Harass, dox, or threaten others.
• Create content that sexualizes minors or promotes real-world violence.

Violations can result in account termination without refund.

Cloud plan is $6/month recurring. Processed by Stripe. Cancel anytime; access continues until the end of your billing period. We don't offer refunds for partial months but will honor refund requests made within 7 days of your first charge.

DAN routes requests through your own provider accounts. We're not responsible for provider costs, outages, or content returned by the models you call. You're responsible for the keys you configure and the charges they incur.

DAN is proprietary software owned by Malevolent Gods Software. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to:

• Use the hosted cloud service at distributed-authoring-nexus.com according to your subscription.
• Run the published Docker image (ignusvm/dan) on your own infrastructure for personal or internal business use at no charge.

You may not:

• Redistribute, resell, sublicense, or offer DAN (or any derivative) as a hosted service to third parties.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the source code from the image.
• Remove, alter, or obscure branding, copyright notices, or the "Powered by DAN" footer when running self-hosted for any audience beyond a household or single organization.

The setup scaffolding at github.com/IgnusVM/dan-self-hosted (docker-compose, install docs) is MIT-licensed and may be freely adapted.

If you run DAN on your own infrastructure, you are the operator of that instance. We don't monitor, moderate, or provide support for self-hosted instances, and we're not liable for content posted to them. These Terms still govern your use of the DAN software itself, but each self-hosted operator is responsible for their own users, content, and compliance.

We aim for high uptime but don't guarantee it. DAN is provided "as is" without warranty. Back up your work regularly — exports are available under project settings.

You can delete your account anytime at Settings → Account. We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these terms, giving reasonable notice except in cases of abuse.

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced by email to active subscribers at least 14 days in advance.
