1. Scope and Nature of the Software

  • MediaUse is a local-first interoperability tool that helps users orchestrate interactions between user-controlled AI workflows and web runtime environments.
  • The Software consists of: Core Engine (proprietary local runtime), a layered fallback execution model for interoperability, and optional Plugins for site-specific interaction logic.
  • Specific execution-layer implementation details may evolve over time and do not alter the legal boundaries and responsibilities defined in these Terms.
  • MediaUse is not a hosted proxy, bot farm, traffic resale service, or legal authorization mechanism for third-party platform access.

2. Eligibility and Authority

  • You must be legally capable of entering into these Terms.
  • You must have lawful authorization to access and operate each third-party account, site, or data source used with MediaUse.
  • If acting for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
  • You accept these Terms by clicking acceptance, installing, executing, registering, or continuing to use the Software.

3. Permitted Use and Intended Boundary

  • MediaUse may only be used for lawful, user-authorized, local-first automation and interoperability workflows.
  • Permitted use includes user-initiated workflows on authorized accounts, interoperability testing, and internal productivity automation.
  • Plugin extension is allowed under your own compliance and risk responsibility.

4. Prohibited Use

  • You may not circumvent DRM, paywalls, anti-bot controls, authentication barriers, or technical protection measures.
  • You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the proprietary Core Engine except where non-waivable law expressly permits.
  • You may not perform unauthorized scraping, credential stuffing, account takeover, spamming, fake engagement, or denial-of-service behavior.

5. Third-Party Platforms and User Compliance Duty

  • You are solely responsible for compliance with third-party Terms of Service, community rules, developer policies, and robots directives.
  • You are solely responsible for complying with applicable laws, including data protection and intellectual property rules.
  • MediaUse does not create any endorsement, affiliation, or authorization relationship with third-party platforms.
  • You must independently verify whether each target platform permits automation or interoperability actions before use.
  • MediaUse does not determine or guarantee that any specific workflow is lawful in your jurisdiction or under third-party rules.

6. Plugin Ecosystem and Third-Party Code

  • Plugin installation (including via mediause add) is an affirmative user action.
  • Official sample plugins are reference implementations for educational and interoperability demonstration purposes.
  • Third-party plugins are provided and used on an as-is basis, and you are responsible for plugin legality, security, and suitability.
  • Plugins may read, modify, or transmit local and third-party data, including files, session context, and account-related information.
  • You should review plugin source, origin, permissions, and behavior in a controlled environment before production use.

7. Responsibility Allocation

  • MediaUse developers provide a general local interoperability framework.
  • Plugin authors are responsible for plugin-specific behavior and compatibility claims.
  • End users/operators are responsible for account rights, operational decisions, legal compliance, and generated outputs.

8. Intellectual Property

  • Rights in the Core Engine and proprietary Bridge logic remain with MediaUse developers and licensors.
  • Open-source components are governed by their respective licenses (for example MIT or Apache-2.0 where applicable).
  • You retain rights to your lawful input and local configurations, subject to third-party rights and applicable law.

9. Privacy and Data Handling Position

  • MediaUse is designed as local-first software and typically runs on user-controlled infrastructure unless explicitly configured otherwise.
  • MediaUse may process operational metadata such as logs, diagnostics, or telemetry only as configured by the user and product settings.
  • If telemetry or diagnostics are enabled, generated records may include technical identifiers and runtime events needed for reliability and support.
  • You can disable optional telemetry where such controls are provided.
  • You are responsible for lawful collection, processing, storage, and deletion of data handled in your workflows.
  • MediaUse developers are not responsible for third-party data you import or process through your configured workflows.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, MediaUse is provided as is and as available.
  • MediaUse disclaims all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
  • No warranty is made regarding uninterrupted operation, security, or permanent compatibility with third-party platforms.
  • Nothing in these Terms excludes rights that cannot be excluded under applicable mandatory law.

11. Limitation of Liability

  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, MediaUse developers are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages.
  • This includes account restrictions by third-party platforms, data loss, business interruption, and legal costs arising from your own violations.
  • Aggregate liability is limited to amounts paid by you for the Software in the preceding 12 months, or USD 100 if no fee was paid.
  • Where mandatory law does not allow parts of these limitations, those parts apply only to the maximum extent legally permitted.

12. Indemnification

  • You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MediaUse developers from claims arising out of your use, misuse, plugin behavior, or violations of law or third-party rights.

13. Suspension and Termination

  • Your rights terminate automatically if you violate these Terms.
  • MediaUse may suspend related services where required by law or to address abuse, security, or compliance risks.
  • Upon termination, you must stop using the Software and uninstall or disable it where applicable.
  • You remain responsible for retention, export, and deletion of local data, plugins, and workflow outputs under your control.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

  • These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, unless non-waivable local law requires otherwise.
  • Disputes are subject to courts in Delaware unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

15. Changes to Terms

  • MediaUse may update these Terms from time to time.
  • For material changes, MediaUse may provide notice through website publication, in-product notice, email, or equivalent channels where available.
  • Continued use after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Entire Agreement and Severability

  • These Terms form the entire agreement regarding MediaUse and supersede prior understandings on the same subject.
  • If any provision is held unenforceable, remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
