Last Updated: September 2026 | Version 1.0

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using endoflife.tech (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the platform.

2. Purpose & Lifecycle Data Notice

endoflife.tech aggregates and organizes software and hardware end-of-life (EOL), end-of-service (EOS), and release support milestones from official vendor announcements, developer documentation, security advisories, and public authorities.

Enterprise Notice: While we maintain rigorous data provenance pipelines and audit verification, lifecycle policies and support channels can vary based on individual enterprise contract terms, specialized government procurement agreements, or custom Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) support. Organizations should always consult their direct vendor contracts for definitive legal and warranty guarantees.

3. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree to use the Service in compliance with all applicable laws and ethical standards. Permitted and encouraged uses include:

Enterprise IT asset management, software risk modeling, and migration planning.
Cybersecurity vulnerability management and compliance auditing.
Academic, research, and non-commercial open source analysis.

Prohibited uses include attempting to compromise platform security, executing denial-of-service attacks, or launching high-concurrency automated scrapers that degrade platform availability for other users without prior coordination.

4. Trademarks & Intellectual Property

All vendor names, brand marks, logos, and product trademarks referenced on endoflife.tech are the property of their respective owners. Their inclusion in this catalog is strictly for informational identification, lifecycle documentation, and compatibility verification under nominative fair use.

The endoflife.tech name, custom data pipeline architectures, and platform codebase are maintained by the platform founders and open source contributors.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The service and all lifecycle data are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, endoflife.tech and its maintainers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your access to or inability to access the service, or any reliance placed on lifecycle dates.
