Terms & EULA

1. Use at Your Own Risk

DAVE is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. You assume full responsibility for your use of DAVE and any consequences thereof.

2. MIT License

DAVE is released under the MIT License. You are free to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the software, subject to the following condition: the above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the software.

3. No Liability

In no event shall the authors or copyright holders of DAVE 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. This includes, without limitation, any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages.

4. No Accessibility Guarantee

While DAVE is built with accessibility in mind and targets WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, we make no guarantee that every component meets all accessibility requirements in every context. It is your responsibility to test and verify accessibility in your own implementation.

5. Third-Party Dependencies & Ownership

DAVE is built on top of open-source libraries, each owned and maintained by their respective authors. DAVE claims no ownership over these works. Each is subject to its own licence — links are provided below. We are not responsible for issues, vulnerabilities, or breaking changes introduced by upstream dependencies.

6. No Support Obligation

DAVE is an independent open-source project. There is no obligation to provide support, maintenance, updates, or bug fixes. Issues and pull requests are welcome on GitHub but may not be actioned.

7. Feedback & Privacy

When you submit feedback via the in-page widget, we record your rating (thumbs up or down), any optional comment you provide, and the URL of the page you submitted from. Submissions are processed by Formspree — a third-party form backend — and forwarded to the maintainer by email. Formspree's handling of your data is governed by their privacy policy.

The feedback widget sets no cookies and stores no identifiers on your device. You are not required to submit feedback; simply don't use the widget if you'd prefer not to share this data.

8. Analytics

This site uses Microsoft Clarity to understand how people use the docs. Clarity provides aggregate metrics, heatmaps, and anonymised session replay. To do this, it sets cookies on your browser and collects your IP address, device and browser information, and your interactions with the page (clicks, scrolls, and similar). Input field values are masked by default and are not recorded.

Data is processed by Microsoft and governed by the Microsoft Privacy Statement. Clarity only loads after you accept the consent prompt shown on your first visit; your choice is remembered in your browser's local storage. Clarity also honours the Do Not Track browser signal.

9. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated at any time without notice. Continued use of DAVE constitutes acceptance of the current terms.
