The Source Robotics projects, including robotic arms and associated parts, are designed solely for engineering development, demonstration, and evaluation purposes. They are not final consumer products and should only be handled by individuals with proper electronics and robotics training who follow sound engineering and safety practices.

Important Considerations:

• These projects may not comply with regulatory standards such as EU directives (EMC, RoHS, WEEE), FCC, CE, UL, or others due to their open-source nature and user-supplied components.
• The user assumes full responsibility and liability for the safe assembly, operation, and maintenance of the hardware.
• Users must take all necessary precautions, including but not limited to wearing appropriate protective equipment, ensuring safe work environments, and understanding risks related to electricity, mechanical motion, and other hazards.
• Users must comply with all applicable local laws, regulations, and safety standards when building or operating these robotic systems.
• It is strongly recommended to read all related documentation and manuals thoroughly before assembly or use.
• After building, users should familiarize themselves thoroughly with the robot control software and safe operation procedures.
• Robots can cause burns, electrocution, physical injury, or other harm if mishandled.

Liability and Warranty Disclaimer:

• The Source Robotics team disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose.
• Neither party shall be liable for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use the products.
• Users agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Source Robotics team from any claims, damages, or liabilities resulting from the use or misuse of these products.

By proceeding to build or use Source Robotics projects, you acknowledge and accept these terms.

Ensuring the safety and security of users and their hardware is our top priority. We welcome security reports from researchers to help us identify and resolve vulnerabilities.

This policy applies to all hardware, firmware, software, and related services governed by our organization. Some hardware features may involve inherently risky operations; if these are clearly documented, they are not considered security issues.

If you discover a security or safety issue, please report it privately by emailing [email protected]. Do not disclose issues publicly or via issue trackers. Provide detailed, reproducible steps, specify the hardware model/version, firmware/software involved, and clearly describe potential impact or risks. Submit one vulnerability per report.

• We acknowledge reports within 48 hours and provide a detailed response within 96 hours or 3 business days.
• We maintain strict confidentiality and do not share your personal information without permission.
• We keep you informed on progress toward resolution.
• With your consent, we credit you as the discoverer after issues are resolved.

We support responsible disclosure and will not pursue legal action against researchers who:

• Act in good faith, avoid causing harm to hardware, firmware, or software, and prevent safety risks to users.
• Only access hardware or systems they own or have explicit permission for.
• Immediately report and delete any accidental access to sensitive data.
• Provide us reasonable time to address vulnerabilities before public disclosure.

Exploiting vulnerabilities, performing unsafe manipulations that could cause physical harm, or social engineering (e.g., phishing) are strictly forbidden.

Security support covers actively maintained hardware models, firmware, and software versions. Please refer to individual project documentation for details.
