TellIaC Terms of Use

Please review these Terms of Use before utilizing the TellIaC software, website, documentation, or downloadable release packages.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the TellIaC website (https://telliac.pages.dev/), downloading the TellIaC CLI binaries, installing the Python package, or referencing our guides and documentation, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our software or documentation.

2. Open Source Licensing & Software Use

The TellIaC engine source code, parser, and CLI executables are licensed under the standard MIT License:

MIT License Summary Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files, to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, subject to retaining the copyright notice and permission notice in all copies or substantial portions.

3. Cloud Infrastructure & Operational Responsibilities

TellIaC is an automated code synthesis and provisioning tool. By using TellIaC to provision resources on third-party cloud platforms (including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Kubernetes), you explicitly acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • Sole Operational Authority: You are solely responsible for executing commands (such as telliac apply, telliac destroy, or telliac export) against your infrastructure. You must always review the output of telliac plan prior to applying changes.
  • Third-Party Cloud Provider Billing: TellIaC includes an estimation utility (telliac cost) for planning purposes. However, actual cloud billing is determined entirely by your agreements with your third-party cloud providers. TellIaC accepts zero liability for any compute, storage, networking, or ingress/egress charges billed by cloud vendors.
  • IAM & Credential Security: You are solely responsible for securing your cloud provider credentials, setting appropriate least-privilege IAM permissions, and safely managing local and remote state storage files.

TellIaC is supported by compliant advertising to keep open documentation and tools freely accessible.

4. Code Examples and Documentation Accuracy

All documentation, guides, configuration snippets (.hiac and exported .tf), and architectural diagrams provided on this website are intended for educational and reference purposes. While we strive to ensure technical accuracy and test our examples against current provider APIs, cloud providers frequently update resource arguments, deprecate API versions, or adjust default quotas.

Users must validate all code snippets in non-production sandbox environments before applying them to mission-critical infrastructure. For further details, please review our Engineering Disclaimer.

5. Acceptable Website Use

You agree not to:

  • Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the website, servers, or networks connected to our documentation portal.
  • Engage in automated scraping or denial-of-service attacks that degrade portal performance for other community members.
  • Attempt to exploit, reverse engineer, or manipulate our advertising delivery systems.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability

THE SOFTWARE AND WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS, CONTRIBUTORS, OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, LOSS OF DATA, OUTAGE, 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.
