### Terms of Service for git.m724.eu
Plain-English summary (not a substitute for the legal text): This is a tiny, hobby-grade Forgejo instance we run for friends and open-source contributors. Use it at your own risk; don’t break the law, don’t abuse the server, keep backups. We’ll try to keep things running but make no uptime guarantees. If anything goes wrong, our liability is minimal. Full terms below.
**Effective date:** May 5, 2025
