Terms of use

Free software, provided as-is.

RippleCheck is open source under the MIT License. These terms restate what that license already grants you, in plain language.

What you're allowed to do

Everything the MIT License permits: use RippleCheck personally or commercially, modify it, bundle it into your own product, and redistribute it with or without your changes. The only condition is that the copyright notice and license text stay included.

There is no license key, no seat limit, no trial period, and no paid tier to upgrade to.

No warranty

The software is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The authors are not liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from the software or its use. That is the MIT License's own language, and it applies in full.

A clean RippleCheck report is not a guarantee that nothing is broken. Static analysis cannot see dynamic references, runtime dispatch, or string-based imports. Treat it as a tool that tells you where to look — not as a substitute for tests or review. The documented limitations are worth reading before you rely on it.

Unsigned installers

The macOS and Windows installers are not code-signed, and the Windows build has not been tested on real Windows hardware. Both are offered on the same as-is basis as the rest of the project. Installing them requires deliberately bypassing an operating system warning, and that is your decision to make. Every release is built from public source, so you can build it yourself instead.

Third-party services

If you use the optional GitHub sign-in or supply your own AI provider key, your use of those services is governed by their terms, not these. See Privacy for what that involves.

Changes

These terms may change as the project develops. The LICENSE file in the repository is authoritative — if anything on this page ever conflicts with it, the LICENSE wins.
