1. MIT License — "As Is" No Warranty

The Cuttlefish desktop application is distributed under the MIT License. The full warranty disclaimer from the MIT License applies:

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.

In plain language: Cuttlefish is provided without guarantees. We work hard to make it reliable and secure, but we cannot promise it will be free of bugs, errors, or security vulnerabilities.

2. AI Output Is Not Professional Advice

Important: AI-generated content produced through Cuttlefish is not a substitute for professional advice of any kind.

Specifically, AI outputs from Cuttlefish should not be relied upon as:

Legal advice — AI is not a licensed attorney and cannot provide legal counsel
Medical advice — AI is not a healthcare professional and cannot diagnose or treat conditions
Financial advice — AI is not a licensed financial advisor and cannot make investment recommendations
Engineering specifications — AI outputs should not be used as final engineering, architectural, or safety-critical specifications without professional review
Security guarantees — AI-generated code or security configurations should always be reviewed by qualified professionals before deployment

AI models can produce outputs that appear confident and authoritative while being factually incorrect ("hallucinations"). Always verify AI-generated content independently before acting on it.

3. Palisade Governance Limitations

Cuttlefish includes the Palisade governance engine, which provides policy enforcement, safety guardrails, and cryptographic audit trails. While we believe Palisade represents a meaningful layer of defense, you should understand its limitations:

Defense-in-depth, not perfection — Palisade is one layer in a defense-in-depth strategy. No governance system can catch every possible misuse or harmful output.
Policy coverage — Policies are written by humans and may not anticipate every edge case. New attack vectors and failure modes are discovered regularly.
No absolute safety guarantee — Palisade reduces risk but does not eliminate it. Users should exercise their own judgment and implement additional safeguards appropriate to their use case.
Evolving threat landscape — AI safety is a rapidly evolving field. We update policies regularly, but there may be gaps between new threats and policy updates.

REVIEW Confirm that this characterization of Palisade's limitations is accurate and appropriately scoped.

4. Third-Party AI Providers

Cuttlefish connects to third-party AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and others) using your own API keys. Moguls Inc is not responsible for:

The accuracy, quality, or safety of outputs generated by third-party AI models
Service interruptions, outages, or degraded performance from third-party providers
Changes to third-party pricing, terms, or API availability
Data handling practices of third-party providers once your prompts leave your machine
Content policy violations flagged by third-party providers

Your use of third-party AI providers is governed entirely by your agreement with those providers. We strongly recommend reading and understanding the terms of service and privacy policies of any AI provider you connect to through Cuttlefish.

5. Local Data and Data Loss

Cuttlefish is a local-first application. The majority of your data — conversations, files, settings, and configurations — is stored on your local machine. This means:

Backups are your responsibility — We do not automatically back up your local data to the cloud. If your hard drive fails, your local data may be lost.
OS-level issues — Crashes, power failures, disk corruption, or OS updates may cause data loss. Moguls Inc is not responsible for data loss caused by your local environment.
Uninstallation — Uninstalling Cuttlefish may remove local application data depending on your operating system and uninstallation method. REVIEW

We recommend maintaining regular backups of any important data on your machine, independent of Cuttlefish.

6. Experimental and Beta Features

Cuttlefish may include features marked as "experimental", "beta", or "preview". These features:

May be unstable, incomplete, or change without notice
May be removed entirely in future releases
Carry additional risk beyond the standard disclaimers in this document

Use experimental features at your own discretion and avoid relying on them for critical workflows. REVIEW
