This website (yewsearch.com and its subdomains) is informational: it describes the Yew Search software and links to its documentation. Use it like any other website - don't attempt to disrupt it, scrape it abusively, or use it to attack other systems.
Yew Search is licensed under a Fair-Code license, not a standard open-source license - see our Licensing page and the full license FAQ for what that permits and restricts. The license terms there govern your use of the software itself; these Terms of Service govern use of this website.
Because you run Yew Search on your own infrastructure, you are responsible for how you operate it: securing your deployment, complying with laws that apply to the data you choose to index, and any third-party services (like a hosted embedding or LLM provider) you choose to connect.
Yew Search is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. The project is under active development and is currently in alpha - expect rough edges, and don't run it somewhere a failure would be catastrophic without testing it yourself first.
If these terms change in a way that matters, we'll update this page and the "last updated" date above.
Questions about these terms can be raised through our GitHub.
