Terms of Service
The contract between you and the Lead Machine project.
1. Definitions
a) “Service” means the Lead Machine software, this marketing website (leadmachine.dev or any subdomain), documentation, and community resources operated by the Lead Machine open-source project. b) “User” means any natural or legal person that accesses or uses the Service, whether or not they register an account. c) “Software” means the Lead Machine Next.js application, released under the MIT License as set out in the LICENSE file in the GitHub repository. d) “Parties” means the User on one side and Lead Machine Contributors on the other.
2. Description of the Service
Lead Machine provides a self-hosted, local-first lead-generation and CRM application for freelancers and small web agencies. The Software is offered under the MIT License, which allows use, modification, distribution, sublicensing and sale of copies. This website serves as informational, documentation and community hub.
3. User Account & Registration
The core, self-hosted Software has no user accounts or authentication system by design — it is intended for single-user local use. Custom multi-user builds may include accounts. For those, the User agrees to: a) Provide accurate, complete, and current registration data; b) Maintain the security of any credentials and immediately notify Lead Machine of unauthorized use; c) Be fully responsible for all activities conducted under their account, whether authorized or not.
4. MIT License & Open Source Rules
The Lead Machine Software is released under the MIT License, a permissive, OSI-approved open-source license. Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the “Software”), 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, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. THE SOFTWARE IS 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 OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES 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.
5. Prohibited Conduct
Users agree not to: a) Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable national, EU, or international law or regulation; b) Upload, distribute, or transmit malware, viruses, ransomware, spyware, or any code of a destructive or intrusive nature; c) Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other Users' accounts, systems, or networks; d) Perform load testing, DDoS, scraping, or aggressive crawling that disrupts the Service; e) Impersonate any person or entity or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent an affiliation with a person or entity; f) Remove or modify any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices from the Software or documentation.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: a) The Service and Software are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND — express, implied, or statutory — including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, and quiet enjoyment. b) In no event shall Lead Machine Contributors, its maintainers, volunteers, or suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or procurement costs of substitute goods. c) Total cumulative aggregate liability, under any legal theory (contract, tort, strict liability, statute, or otherwise), shall not exceed €100 EUR (maximum aggregate liability for any single claim). d) Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable mandatory law.
7. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Italian Republic, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

The Parties expressly exclude application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG, Vienna 1980).
8. Changes to the Service or Terms
Lead Machine may, at its sole discretion, modify, suspend, or discontinue — temporarily or permanently — features, subdomains, or community resources, with or without notice. Material changes to these Terms will be announced on the homepage for 30 days. Continued use after the 30-day notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
