Disclaimer

1. Independence & Third-Party Trademark Disclaimer

1. Independent Software: Chat to API is an independent, developer-focused software tool and data bridge maintained by an independent engineering team. This project and its authors are NOT affiliated with, sponsored by, authorized by, or endorsed by Tencent Holdings Ltd., WeChat, Telegram FZ-LLC, or any other third-party communication platform.
2. Trademarks & Intellectual Property: Any product names, logos, brands, and registered trademarks—including but not limited to "WeChat", "Tencent", and "Telegram"—are the property of their respective owners. Their mention in our documentation and applications is strictly for identification and interoperability compatibility purposes, and implies no endorsement or association whatsoever.

2. Lawful Personal Use & Compliance Requirements

Chat to API operates strictly under privacy-first and local-first architecture:

1. Lawful Personal Use Only: This software is intended solely for personal, authorized data archiving, offline search, local knowledge base extraction, and personal AI assistant integration over chat histories that you legally own, control, or have explicit lawful authorization to access.
2. Prohibited Activities: Under no circumstances may this software be used to:
   • Violate wiretapping, privacy, or communications secrecy laws in any applicable jurisdiction;
   • Intercept, monitor, exfiltrate, or harvest private communications belonging to third parties without consent;
   • Engage in unauthorized commercial scraping, spam campaigns, fraud, telecommunications abuse, or unlawful intelligence gathering;
   • Interfere with, attack, or reverse-engineer the remote infrastructure or network integrity of third-party platforms.
3. User Responsibility: Users assume complete legal and operational responsibility for any data read, exported, relayed, or submitted to third-party artificial intelligence models (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) using this tool. The developers assume no liability for disputes, claims, or regulatory penalties arising from user actions.

3. Read-Only Operations & Database Safety

1. Immutable Snapshots: The software accesses local database files via read-only file handles and in-memory decryption routines. Decrypted content exists solely within volatile system memory (RAM).
2. No Native File Alteration: The software never writes to, modifies, patches, or injects into the official messaging software or its underlying database files. Official application lifecycle and messaging functions remain entirely unhindered.
3. Remote Relay Boundary: The optional relay processes authorized requests and responses in transit, including returned chat content. It is not end-to-end encrypted against the relay. Production logging and retention controls require verification before public release. Source database decryption keys remain on the desktop device.

4. "AS-IS" Provision & Warranty Disclaimer

1. Provided "AS-IS": To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, this software and associated cloud relay services are provided on an "AS-IS" and "AS-AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise (including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement).
2. Third-Party Updates & Compatibility: Third-party messaging platforms frequently update their protocols, encryption mechanisms, and internal file structures. While our team aims for active maintenance, we cannot and do not guarantee uninterrupted compatibility across past or future platform releases.
3. Platform Enforcement Disclaimer: Third-party platforms maintain their own terms of service and risk control systems. The developers are not liable for any third-party account restrictions, suspensions, or audits resulting from excessive query frequencies, non-compliance, or platform policy changes.

5. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the developers, maintainers, or contributors of Chat to API be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages (including loss of profits, business disruption, data loss, legal claims, or computer malfunctions) arising out of or related to the use or inability to use this software, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

6. Updates to This Disclaimer

We reserve the right to amend or update this Disclaimer at any time. Continued use of the software or website following any changes constitutes your acknowledgement and full acceptance of the revised terms.
