Legal
Terms of Use
Last updated 2026-09-22. Plain-language terms for this website and the Levix software distributed from it. Where the MIT License already says something, the license wins; this page explains what that means in practice.
1. The software is MIT — as-is
Levix is open source under the MIT License. You may use, copy, modify and redistribute it, including commercially, keeping the license and copyright notice. The software is provided as is, without warranty of any kind — no guarantee of uninterrupted WhatsApp connectivity, AI availability, or fitness for a particular purpose. The authors are not liable for damages arising from its use. Read the license itself; it is short.
2. You are the operator
Levix is self-hosted: it runs on your phone, your computer or your server, under accounts you own. There is no Levix service to hold responsible, and no Levix employee can access, fix or recover your installation. You are responsible for the machine it runs on, the data it stores, the updates you apply, and your compliance with the laws that apply where you run it.
3. WhatsApp: independent, and unofficial
- Levix is not made by, endorsed by, or affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta. It links to your account as a linked device, the same way WhatsApp Web does, using the open-source Baileys protocol implementation.
- WhatsApp's Terms of Service restrict automation through unofficial clients. Automating a personal account is a grey zone: it generally works, but Meta can, in principle, restrict or suspend accounts that use unofficial clients, and that risk is yours to accept. Levix is built for personal, low-volume use — moderation helpers, reminders, your own toolbox — not bulk messaging.
- You alone decide what your bot sends. Use it lawfully and respectfully: no spam, no harassment, no mass unsolicited messaging, nothing illegal in your jurisdiction.
4. AI providers: your account, your costs
AI features call the provider you configure — Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — using your API key on your account. The provider's terms, pricing and rate limits apply to that traffic, and you are responsible for what your bot sends, including content generated on your behalf. The software itself never adds its own key, billing or markup.
5. This website
The site and its content are provided for information, with the same no-warranty footing as the software. Its source is part of the project; the site's text and branding remain the project's. Download links point to GitHub — those downloads are subject to GitHub's terms too. See the Privacy Policy for what the site does (almost nothing) with your data.
6. Changes & contact
These terms may change; the date at the top moves with material changes, and the license file in the repository is always the authoritative one for the software. Questions: the issue tracker.
