Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using The Other Dude ("the Software"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. The Other Dude is open-source, self-hosted software provided as-is for managing MikroTik RouterOS devices. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Software.

2. License

The Other Dude is provided under an open-source license. You are free to use, modify, and distribute the Software in accordance with the license terms included in the source repository. The Software is not affiliated with or endorsed by MikroTik (SIA Mikrotīkls).

3. Self-Hosted Deployment

The Other Dude is designed to be self-hosted. You are responsible for your own deployment, including server security, database backups, network configuration, and access control. The authors are not responsible for any data loss, security breaches, or service interruptions that occur on your infrastructure.

4. Device Management

The Software connects to MikroTik devices using the RouterOS API. Configuration changes pushed through the portal use a two-phase commit with automatic rollback. However, you acknowledge that managing network devices carries inherent risk, and you are responsible for testing changes in a controlled environment before applying them to production networks.

5. Credentials and Security

Device credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. You are responsible for securing your encryption keys, database access, and ensuring that only authorized users have access to the portal. Never expose the portal to the public internet without proper authentication and TLS.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

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. THE AUTHORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE.

7. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the authors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages (including loss of data, revenue, or profit) arising out of or in connection with the use of the Software, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

8. Changes to Terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the Software after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Material changes will be communicated through the project repository.
