Terms and Conditions

Effective 25 September 2026

These terms cover your use of the almanac.bar website and the Almanac software, operated by Tuhin Patra, an individual based in India ("Almanac", "we", "us"). By using either, you agree to them.

1. The software is open source#

Almanac's source code is released under the MIT License. You may use, copy, modify and distribute it, including commercially, as that license allows. If these terms and the MIT License ever disagree about the software, the MIT License wins.

2. You run it, you're in charge#

Almanac is self-hosted. You install and operate it on infrastructure you choose, with accounts you create. That means you are responsible for:

• keeping your servers, keys and passwords secure, and making backups;
• the accounts and bills of third-party services you connect, such as Supabase, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic and your hosting provider;
• complying with those services' terms, in particular Meta's WhatsApp Business Terms and Business Messaging Policy;
• the lawful handling of your customers' personal data, including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

3. Acceptable use#

Don't use Almanac or this website to:

• send spam or messages to people who haven't agreed to hear from you;
• harass, defraud or mislead anyone, or impersonate another business;
• break any law, or promote goods and services that WhatsApp's policies prohibit;
• attack, overload or probe this website or other people's systems.

4. No warranty#

The software and this website are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, availability or accuracy. WhatsApp, Supabase and AI providers may change or stop their services at any time, and Almanac may not work with them afterwards.

5. Limitation of liability#

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for lost profits, revenue, data, customers or goodwill, arising from your use of the software or this website. Where liability can't be excluded, our total liability is limited to ₹1,000.

6. Indemnity#

You agree to compensate us for claims, losses and costs arising from your use of Almanac in breach of these terms, of the law or of a third-party service's terms.

7. Support#

Help by email at tuhin@almanac.bar is offered in good faith and without a guaranteed response time, unless we agree otherwise in writing.

8. Trademarks#

"Almanac" and its logo identify this project. WhatsApp and Meta are trademarks of Meta Platforms, Inc. Almanac is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Meta, Supabase, OpenAI or Anthropic.

9. Changes#

We may update these terms. The effective date at the top tells you when. Continuing to use the website or software after a change means you accept the new terms.

10. Governing law#

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in India.
