PocketSQL is free, open-source software licensed under the terms of the MIT License.

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:

2. "As-Is" Warranty Disclaimer

Important Notice

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.

3. Limitation of Liability & Data Safeguarding

While PocketSQL incorporates atomic transactional storage mechanisms and write-ahead logs, the authors shall not be held liable for any data corruption, accidental deletion, system instability, or loss of profits arising from the execution of SQL queries, power interruptions, or memory-pressure termination on mobile devices.

Users are strongly advised to maintain external backups of essential databases by exporting `.sql` or `.db` files regularly using the in-app export tools.

4. Acceptable Network Use

You agree to use the embedded HTTP API server only on networks you own or have explicit authorization to utilize. You must not configure the server to listen on insecure public networks without proper bearer token protection and TLS certificate enforcement.
