  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract proprietary components of the Service beyond what is permitted by the MIT License.

5. Third-Party Services

Sammy supports integration with third-party AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) as well as private/local LLM servers you operate yourself (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints). Pixelmind Ventures is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party service. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
