Terms of Service

1. The "Free Lunch" Clause

This is a free service. You are paying exactly 0 sats for it. As such, you are entitled to exactly 0 sats worth of refunds, guarantees, or emotional support if things go sideways. We try our best to keep the lights on, but if the server catches fire or gets eaten by a grue, we owe you nothing but a sad trombone sound effect.

2. The "Don't Be A Jerk" Rule

We run a Web of Trust system. If you act like a spam-bot, a scammer, or generally make the relay a miserable place for others, we will ban you. If you invite people who act like jerks, we might ban you too (or at least put you in timeout).

"Free speech" does not mean "obligated to host your noise." This is a private relay. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason, or for no reason at all. Usually, it's because you were being a jerk.

3. Content & Liability

You are responsible for what you sign with your private key. We are just a dumb pipe (a relay) that moves JSON blobs from A to B. We don't endorse your content, we don't verify your content, and we certainly don't want to be sued for your content.

If you post illegal stuff, that's on you. Don't do that.

4. Uptime & Reliability

We aim for 99.9% uptime, but we promise 0%. Sometimes we need to reboot to install updates. Sometimes the internet breaks. Sometimes we just want to sleep. If this relay is critical to your life support system, please reconsider your life choices.

5. Changes to Terms

We might change these terms later. If we do, we'll probably just update this file. It's up to you to check back here and see if we've added a clause demanding your firstborn child (we won't, they eat too much).
