Terms of Service

Learn about OpenFang's open-source usage, self-hosting responsibilities, third-party LLM APIs, agent workflows, communication channel integrations, disclaimers, and usage restrictions.

Last updated: July 10, 2026

Service Overview

The OpenFang website provides project introductions, installation guides, feature descriptions, performance comparisons, documentation portals, and open-source resource links. OpenFang is a Rust-based, self-hostable, production-grade Agent OS project. It is not a hosted AI chat service, nor is it an official product of Telegram, Discord, Slack, Feishu, DingTalk, or any LLM provider.

Open Source License

OpenFang is released as an open-source project. The specific scope of the license, copyright notices, and usage conditions are governed by the LICENSE file and source code documentation in the project repository. You may use, copy, modify, and distribute the software within the permitted scope of the license, provided that you retain all necessary copyright and license notices.

Self-Hosting Responsibilities

If you deploy OpenFang, you are solely responsible for your hardware, servers, network, API keys, access control, audit logs, backups, and updates. While production-grade security measures can mitigate risks, they do not replace the need for system security, permission management, version locking, and pre-deployment testing.

Third-Party APIs and Costs

OpenFang can connect to model services such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, Mistral, Together, Ollama, and vLLM. You are responsible for providing your own API keys and covering any costs, rate limits, availability fluctuations, and terms of service imposed by these third-party providers.

Communication Platform Integration

OpenFang may process messages or trigger automated tasks via channels such as Telegram, Discord, Slack, Feishu, DingTalk, Matrix, Teams, and Google Chat. You must ensure that your bots, groups, workspaces, and automated actions comply with the respective platform's rules and avoid spam, harassment, or unauthorized data processing.

Permitted and Prohibited Conduct

You may use OpenFang for business automation, content production, lead generation, intelligence monitoring, research, forecasting, and multi-agent workflows. You must not use the website or software for illegal activities, infringement, spam, credential theft, unauthorized access, spreading malicious code, harassment, or bypassing third-party platform rules.

Content Accuracy and Disclaimer

The content on this website is provided "as is" and may become outdated as the project versions, dependencies, third-party APIs, and deployment methods evolve. While we strive to keep our documentation clear, we do not guarantee that all content is always accurate, complete, uninterrupted, or suitable for your specific purposes. OpenFang does not provide legal, security, compliance, financial, or professional advice.

Limitation of Liability and Updates

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the project maintainers are not liable for any indirect damages arising from the use of the website, source code, third-party services, API costs, data loss, deployment errors, or security incidents. We may update these terms as the project develops; by continuing to access the website or use the project, you acknowledge and accept the updated terms.

Contact Information

For feedback regarding these terms, please contact the maintainers via the public OpenFang GitHub repository or community channels. Please do not submit API keys, passwords, private logs, customer data, or other sensitive information through public channels.
