Open Source
ainative-business source code is offered under the Apache 2.0 license unless a file or dependency says otherwise. These Terms govern use of the website, downloads, branding, and related services.
Use With Review
AI output can be wrong, incomplete, or unsafe. You are responsible for reviewing agent actions, outputs, and tool use before relying on them in production or customer work.
No High-Risk Use
Do not use ainative-business where failure could cause death, bodily injury, legal noncompliance, or major financial harm without independent safeguards and human oversight.
These Terms of Use govern your access to the ainative-business website, documentation, newsletter, downloadable software, and related services made available by Manav Sehgal. By accessing or using ainative-business, you agree to these Terms.
If you use ainative-business for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the website or software.
You must be legally able to enter into a binding agreement to use ainative-business. You may not use ainative-business if you are prohibited from doing so under applicable law, export controls, or sanctions rules.
The ainative-business application is open-source software. Source code is generally made available under the Apache License 2.0 unless a repository file, dependency, or bundled component states a different license.
These Terms do not replace or narrow any rights that apply under the open-source licenses for the code itself. Instead, they cover the surrounding service relationship, including the website, downloads, branding, updates, support communications, and any hosted or email-based features.
You may use ainative-business only in compliance with applicable law and these Terms. You may not use ainative-business to violate another person’s rights, distribute malware, interfere with systems, evade security controls, abuse third-party APIs, or process unlawful content.
You are responsible for your own configurations, prompts, policies, workflows, connected model providers, API keys, and downstream actions taken by your agents or operators.
ainative-business helps operators coordinate AI agents, but it does not guarantee that any model output, recommendation, classification, automation, or tool request is accurate, complete, lawful, or fit for your use case.
You are solely responsible for reviewing outputs, verifying decisions, setting appropriate permissions, maintaining backups, and keeping a human in the loop wherever the consequences matter.
ainative-business may link to or interoperate with third-party services such as model providers, code hosts, analytics tools, email providers, or other APIs. Those services are controlled by their own operators and subject to their own terms and privacy notices.
Manav Sehgal is not responsible for third-party services, outages, pricing, policy changes, or the way those providers collect, use, store, or secure data that you send to them.
ainative-business is an actively evolving open-source product. Features may change, be added, be removed, or remain experimental. Downloads, release cadence, documentation, and compatibility can change at any time.
Manav Sehgal has no obligation to continue any feature, provide support, maintain backwards compatibility, or release updates on a particular schedule.
Except where open-source licenses apply, the ainative-business name, logos, site content, design, and other brand assets remain the property of Manav Sehgal or its licensors. You may not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation without permission.
If you submit feedback, ideas, issue reports, or suggestions, Manav Sehgal may use them without restriction or compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ainative-business is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. This includes implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and results.
Manav Sehgal does not warrant that ainative-business will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, compatible with your environment, or free from harmful components.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Manav Sehgal will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, business interruption, or replacement costs arising from or related to ainative-business.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of Manav Sehgal for all claims arising out of or relating to ainative-business will not exceed the greater of one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100) or the amount you paid directly to Manav Sehgal for ainative-business in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Manav Sehgal from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your misuse of ainative-business, your content, your connected services, your violation of law, or your violation of these Terms.
Manav Sehgal may suspend or terminate access to the website, newsletter, or related services if necessary to address abuse, legal risk, security issues, or violations of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Manav Sehgal is established, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Unless mandatory consumer protection law requires otherwise, disputes arising from these Terms must be brought in the courts located in that jurisdiction.
Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact Manav Sehgal at team@ainative.business and try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally.
Manav Sehgal may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of ainative-business after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
Questions about these Terms can be sent to team@ainative.business.
