6. Open Source Components

The Software incorporates the following open-source libraries, used under their respective licenses:

• GRDB.swift: a Swift library for SQLite databases, licensed under the MIT License. Copyright © Gwendal Roúe and contributors.

7. Privacy and Data Handling

MachReader communicates only with the FreshRSS server you configure and, when displaying articles, directly with the feed websites your articles come from (for images, favicons, and Reader-Mode page fetches). The Software does not collect, transmit, or share any User Data with Licensor or any third party. No analytics, crash reports, or usage data are collected. On-device analysis and summarization features run locally via Apple's NaturalLanguage and Foundation Models frameworks and transmit no data to Licensor, Apple, or any other party. For full details, see the Privacy Policy.

8. Third-Party Dependencies

The Software interacts with your self-hosted FreshRSS server instance, which is independent software operated by you or by a third party you choose. Licensor has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the availability, reliability, accuracy, or content of any FreshRSS server or third-party feed website. Your use of FreshRSS is governed by the FreshRSS project's own license and terms. You are solely responsible for the feeds you subscribe to and the content they provide.

9. Updates, Upgrades, and Discontinuation

Licensor may, at its sole discretion, provide updates, patches, or new versions of the Software. Such updates are governed by this Agreement unless accompanied by a separate license agreement. Licensor is not obligated to provide any updates or support.

Licensor may also discontinue the Software at any time without notice. As the Software is provided free of charge, no refunds or compensation of any kind are applicable, whether for updates, bugs, discontinuation, or any other reason.

The Software is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Licensor expressly disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of data, and non-infringement.

Licensor does not warrant that the Software will meet your requirements, operate without interruption, or be free from errors or security vulnerabilities. Licensor makes no warranty regarding the compatibility of any specific FreshRSS server version with the Software.

Licensor's total cumulative liability to you for any and all claims arising under this Agreement shall not exceed zero dollars ($0.00).

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor and its affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Software, your violation of this Agreement, or your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights.
