The Jan software
Jan is open-source software. Your download and use of Jan are governed by the open-source licence published in its GitHub repository (opens in a new tab), not by these Terms.

"Jan" and the Jan logos are trademarks of Menlo Research. You may not use them in any way that suggests our endorsement or causes confusion.
Third-party links
The Website contains links to third-party websites and services, such as GitHub, Discord and Flathub. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content, policies or practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

The Website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Menlo Research and its affiliates, officers, employees and agents won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits or revenue, arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Website.

Changes to the Website and these Terms
We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Website at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Website after any change means you accept the updated Terms.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Website will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore.
General
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision isn't a waiver of that right. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Website.
