<strong>Native code + open networking.</strong>
The native messaging host runs with your user accounts privileges and can make network
connections, read and write files, and open direct peer-to-peer connections to the public
Hyperswarm DHT. Only install the host and extension from sources you trust. Misconfiguration or a
malicious build can expose local data or resources.

<h2 id="as-is">1. “AS IS” software and documentation</h2>
<p>
BRIDGESWARM SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION, INSTALLERS, WEBSITES, AND RELATED MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED BY HONEYPEER, LLC
AND CONTRIBUTORS “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT,

</p>
<p>
This is consistent with the AGPL-3.0 disclaimer for open-source distributions and applies to the
fullest extent permitted by law for HoneyPeers Sites and binary distributions.
</p>
<h2 id="no-guarantee">2. No operational guarantees</h2>
<p>Without limiting the foregoing, HoneyPeer does not warrant that:</p>
<ul>
<li>BridgeSwarm will meet your requirements or be compatible with every browser, OS, or Node/Bare runtime version;</li>
<li>peer discovery, NAT traversal, or connections over the public Hyperswarm DHT will be available, confidential, or uninterrupted;</li>
<li>peers you connect to are trustworthy, non-malicious, or who they claim to be;</li>
<li>defects will be corrected within any timeframe;</li>
<li>documentation is complete or error-free.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="your-risk">3. Your risk allocation</h2>
<p>You are solely responsible for:</p>
<ul>
<li>testing in non-production environments before relying on BridgeSwarm for critical use cases;</li>
<li>reviewing which peers you accept connections from, and what data you expose to them;</li>
<li>backups and integrity of any Hyper* data structures you create locally;</li>
<li>compliance with your organizations security policies and applicable law;</li>
<li>consequences of running the native messaging host, which has the same filesystem and network access as your user account.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="liability">4. Limitation of liability</h2>
<p>
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL HONEYPEER, LLC, ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION;
OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BRIDGESWARM OR HONEYPEER SITES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE,
EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
</p>
<p>
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HONEYPEERS TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO BRIDGESWARM OR THE SITES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF
(A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO HONEYPEER FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM, OR
(B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US&nbsp;$100).
</p>
<p>
Because some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, some of the above may not apply to you; in that case, liability is limited to the minimum extent required by law.
</p>
<h2 id="high-risk">5. High-risk activities</h2>
<p>
The Software is not designed for use in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance (for example nuclear facilities, air traffic control, or life-support systems)
