Warranty Disclaimer

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS, CONTRIBUTORS, OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES (direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential) arising from the use of AKIOS, even if advised of the possibility of such damage.

Financial losses (including surprise costs)

Nothing here excludes liability where prohibited by applicable law, including for willful misconduct, gross negligence, or non-waivable statutory rights.

Security Considerations

While AKIOS implements strong containment (kernel sandbox, syscall interception, PII redaction, cost kills, Merkle audit), no software can guarantee absolute security.

Users must:

Run in isolated environments
Validate outputs and audit trails
Follow best security practices
Report vulnerabilities responsibly (security@akioud.ai)

Compliance Disclaimer

AKIOS Open Runtime provides technical foundations for data protection and auditability (for example, PII redaction and Merkle-style ledgers), but does not guarantee compliance with any regulation (EU AI Act, GDPR, HDS, or others).

Compliance is the user's responsibility. For regulated or high-risk use (including EU AI Act high-risk systems), ensure your own controls and certifications and seek expert advice.

Export and Usage Restrictions
