Cartograph Cloud Registry — Terms of Service (v5)
By using the Cartograph cloud registry you agree to the following:
1. CODE VALIDATION AND USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
All widgets in the Cartograph registry are validated LOCALLY by the
uploader's machine only. The registry does not perform server-side
code review, sandboxed execution, or security auditing of uploaded
widgets. Any code you download and install may contain bugs, security
vulnerabilities, or malicious behavior. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for
reviewing all widget code before use. Cartograph makes no guarantees
about the safety, correctness, or security of any published widget.
Always inspect source code, check dependencies, and test in an
isolated environment before deploying to production.
2. AI TRAINING DATA
All widgets published to the Cartograph cloud registry with "public"
visibility may be used as training data for artificial intelligence
and machine learning models. This includes but is not limited to
source code, documentation, examples, tests, and metadata. Cartograph
may package and distribute published widgets to AI research labs and
model providers at any time. If you do not want your code used for
AI training, do not publish it to the cloud registry.
3. ACCEPTABLE USE
You will not publish widgets that contain malware, deliberately
obfuscated code designed to harm users, or content that violates
applicable law. Widgets must not collect user data without disclosure
or attempt to exploit systems they are installed on. Reviews,
comments, and all user-generated text must not contain harassment,
hate speech, threats, or spam.
4. PROHIBITED CONTENT — ZERO TOLERANCE
The following will result in immediate, permanent account termination
and may be reported to law enforcement:
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any sexualized content
involving minors
- Non-consensual intimate imagery
- Content that facilitates terrorism, human trafficking, or the
distribution of controlled substances
- Any material that is illegal under United States federal law
There are no warnings for these violations. Your account, all
published content, and associated data will be permanently deleted.
5. ENFORCEMENT AND BANS
Other violations of these terms may result in any or all of the
following at Cartograph's sole discretion and without prior notice:
- Removal of individual widgets or reviews
- Temporary suspension of publishing privileges
- Permanent ban of your account and all associated content
Repeated or severe violations (e.g. publishing malware, targeted
harassment, or circumventing prior enforcement) will result in a
permanent ban. Bans are final and not subject to appeal.
6. UNIVERSAL MIT LICENSE
All widgets published to the Cartograph registry are distributed
under the MIT License. By publishing a widget you agree to release
it under MIT and represent that you have the right to do so. By
downloading a widget you receive it under the MIT License. There is
no option to choose a different license — this keeps licensing simple
and predictable for all consumers, including automated systems and
AI agents. The full MIT License text applies to every widget:
permission is granted, free of charge, to use, copy, modify, merge,
publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies, subject only to
the inclusion of the copyright notice and permission notice. The
software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind.
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
You retain copyright ownership of code you publish. By publishing,
you grant Cartograph a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to
host, distribute, and include your widget in AI training datasets as
described in section 2. The MIT License grant in section 6 is
irrevocable for versions already published — you may unpublish future
versions but cannot revoke the license on copies already distributed.
8. CONTENT MODERATION
Cartograph employs automated content filtering and reserves the right
to review any published content. Attempting to circumvent content
filters is itself a violation of these terms.
9. NO WARRANTY
The registry is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do
not guarantee uptime, data preservation, or fitness for any purpose.
10. USAGE ANALYTICS
Cartograph collects aggregate daily counts to monitor service health
and growth: number of signups, number of widget installs (split into
authenticated and anonymous), per-widget install tallies, and the
number of distinct authenticated users active each day. We do NOT
record which specific user installed which specific widget — install
counts and user identities are stored independently and are never
joined. Authenticated user identifiers used for daily-active-user
deduplication are retained for at most 24 hours and then irreversibly
replaced with a count. Anonymous installs are recorded without any
user identifier or IP address; to keep install counts honest, a
one-way hash derived from the requester and widget is kept for at
most 48 hours to deduplicate repeat downloads, then deleted. The
hash cannot be reversed into an IP address and is never joined with
any other data. Aggregated counts may be used to improve
recommendations, surface trending widgets, and report on service
usage.
11. REPORTING ABUSE
Report widgets, reviews, or accounts that violate these terms via
POST /v1/abuse (see the API docs) or the form at
https://cartograph.tools/abuse. Include the widget or handle and a
short description. DMCA takedown requests should identify the
copyrighted work, the infringing widget, and your contact details.
12. CHANGES
These terms may be updated at any time. You will be prompted to
accept the new version on your next login. Continued use after
being prompted constitutes acceptance.
