Terms of Service

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Household is an open-source project for running bots on infrastructure you control. These terms describe the official project website and integrations. They do not replace or restrict the software license.

Open-source license

Household is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 (AGPL-3.0-only). Your rights to use, study, modify, and distribute the software are governed by that license. If these terms conflict with the license regarding those rights, the license controls. Third-party components retain their own licenses.

Your installation and connected services

You choose where to run Household and which harnesses, accounts, and integrations it can access. You are responsible for securing your host and credentials, managing access, maintaining backups, and authorizing only actions and data use you are entitled to authorize.

AI providers, messengers, hosting providers, and other connected services have their own terms, privacy policies, availability, and fees. Household does not supply a subscription to those services. Shared OAuth application credentials identify Household to a provider; they do not grant access to another user's account. Each user must authorize their own connection.

Bot actions and availability

Bots can make mistakes and may take actions using the permissions you give them. Review important outputs and configure permissions appropriate to the task. The project does not promise uninterrupted service, continued availability of third-party integrations, or guaranteed support. Features may change or be discontinued.

Privacy and Google integrations

See the Privacy Policy for local storage, third-party processing, and Google data use. Connecting an account is optional. Use Google integrations only with permissions you hold and in accordance with Google's applicable terms and API policies. You can revoke authorization through your Google Account.

Warranty and liability

The software is provided without warranty, and liability is limited as set out in sections 15 and 16 of the AGPL-3.0 license, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing here excludes rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.

Contact and updates

Questions about Household or these terms can be sent to [email protected]. Updated terms will appear on this page with an updated date. Changes to this page do not revoke rights already granted under the software license.
