TERMS OF SERVICE.
// Essential operating agreements, open-source licensing, and critical hardware liability waivers.
1. Hardware Liability Waiver
CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING
BenchCore is software designed to interface with physical, high-current electrical systems capable of causing severe injury, death, or property damage via electrical fire. The software is provided "AS IS", without warranty of any kind.
- The authors are NOT liable for any hardware damage resulting from software bugs.
- You are solely responsible for implementing physical, hardware-level fail-safes (e.g. fuses).
- Software-based E-Stops must NOT be relied upon as the sole method of circuit interruption.
2. Autonomous AI Execution
If you enable the AI autonomous control loops (allowing the system to adjust voltage or engage relays based on telemetry heuristics), you agree to the following terms:
- You will physically supervise the hardware at all times during autonomous operation.
- You acknowledge that LLM heuristics are non-deterministic and may hallucinate commands.
- You agree to keep the physical E-Stop button within reach while AI execution is active.
