plain terms: what you may rely on, and what you may not.
short sections that mean what they say. where a license does the real work it is named, and the license text wins for the code it covers.
scope
these terms cover gaige.dev (the pages, the receipts they render, and the data files behind them) and the documentation of the gaige Python package. using the site or the package means accepting them; there is nothing to sign and no account to hold, because there are no accounts.
the code
gaige is licensed AGPL-3.0-only. run it, study it, modify it, redistribute it under the same license; if you serve a modified version to others over a network, the AGPL’s source-offer obligation applies to you. that copyleft is load-bearing: it keeps every derived instrument as inspectable as this one.
for uses the AGPL does not fit, commercial licensing exists: ghxrk13@proton.me. the package page states the current version and what it depends on.
the pages
the text and figures on gaige.dev are © the operators of gaige.dev. quote freely with attribution and a link; do not republish whole pages or pass this site’s content off as your own. the machine-readable receipts under /data are published to be consumed: the numbers are facts, the JSON shape is stable by intent, and the reproduce commands inside them are yours to run.
measurements, never verdicts
- receipts describe instruments, not people. a gaige receipt states what a detector did on a stated corpus under a stated configuration. it never states that a document or its author is human or AI, and citing one as if it did is a use these terms do not license.
- no threshold here is universal. operating points published on this site belong to their corpus and instrument; the thresholds page carries the arithmetic for deriving your own.
- measurement is not endorsement. a detector appearing in a guide or a receipt means it was measured, nothing more.
no warranty
the site and the package are provided as-is, without warranty of any kind: no promise of fitness for a particular purpose, no promise that a receipt transfers to your material, no promise of uptime. for the code this is AGPL sections 15 and 16 said plainly; for the pages it is the same sentence without the section numbers. decisions built on top of these numbers are yours, and the tool’s refusals exist to keep that honest.
not legal advice
the regulatory reading on this site (the marking-dates table today) is source-linked homework, not legal advice. dates are re-verified on the cadence each page states, and each page says when it was last checked.
changes
- 2026-08-02. first published, together with the contact page; the site nav gained both. these terms change the way everything here changes: dated rows, before practice moves, never after.
