These terms and conditions outline the rules and regulations for the use of Proyecto 26's open source projects and website. By accessing this website and using our projects, we assume you accept these terms and conditions. Do not continue to use Proyecto 26 if you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions stated on this page. Our organization maintains a dual-licensing model: open source code under MIT and media assets under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
Summary
TL;DR: Our code is MIT licensed (use it freely). Our artwork and media are CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 (share with credit, but don't modify or sell). Our brand/logo is proprietary. Contributions are welcome under the same license.
1. Introduction
Welcome to Proyecto 26. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of our website (proyecto26.com) and our open source software projects hosted on GitHub. By using our services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these terms. If you disagree with any part of these terms, please do not use our website or projects. Please note that different materials are subject to different licenses: our source code is distributed under permissive open source licenses, while our media assets (images, audio, game artwork, and other creative content) are protected under a separate Creative Commons license. See Sections 3 and 4 below for details.
2. Definitions
"Source Code" refers to the software code, configuration files, and technical documentation in our GitHub repositories and this website's codebase. "Media Assets" refers to images, illustrations, audio files, game artwork and sprites (including NinjaDev assets), logos, brand materials, and other creative content published on this website or included in our repositories. "Projects" refers to the open source software libraries, tools, and applications maintained by Proyecto 26. "Website" refers to proyecto26.com and all its subdomains.
3. Source Code License (MIT)
Our open source projects and the website's source code are distributed under the MIT License (or similar permissive licenses as specified in each repository). This means you are free to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and sell copies of the source code, subject to including the original copyright notice and license text. The specific license for each project can be found in its respective repository. These open source licenses govern your use of the source code, and in the event of any conflict between these Terms and the applicable open source license, the open source license shall control for that portion of the materials. Nothing in these Terms restricts rights granted under an applicable open source license. This permissive licensing applies exclusively to source code and does not extend to media assets, trademarks, or brand materials.
4. Media Assets License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)
The media assets on this website — including images, photographs, illustrations, SVG icons, audio files, video files, game artwork and sprites (including NinjaDev assets), logos, brand materials, documentation screenshots, diagrams, CSS animations, and other creative content located in directories such as /public/img/, /src/assets/, and similar asset directories — are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). Source code files (.js, .ts, .astro, .css, .html, and configuration files) are explicitly excluded from this license and are covered by the MIT License in Section 3. This means you may share and redistribute these assets in any medium or format under the following conditions: you must give appropriate credit to Proyecto 26, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made; you may not use the assets for commercial purposes; and you may not distribute modified or adapted versions of these assets. For the full license text, see our LICENSE.md file or visit creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/.
5. Trademarks and Branding
The Proyecto 26 name, logo, and brand identity are proprietary and are not covered by either the MIT License or the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License. The right to use our open source software does not include the right to use our project names, logos, or brand materials. You may not use our trademarks, logos, or brand elements in a manner that suggests endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship without prior written consent. Nominative fair use is permitted solely to identify Proyecto 26 as the source of the software (e.g., linking to our projects or crediting contributions in documentation).
6. Contributions
We welcome contributions to our open source projects. By submitting a pull request, issue, or other contribution to any Proyecto 26 repository, you agree that your contribution will be licensed under the same license as the project you are contributing to (typically MIT). You represent that you have the right to grant this license and that your contribution does not infringe any third-party rights. Contributors retain copyright to their individual contributions. We use the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). By adding a 'Signed-off-by' line to your commits (using `git commit -s`), you certify that you have the right to submit the contribution under the project's license. See our CONTRIBUTING.md for details.
7. Community Platform & Discord
Proyecto 26 operates a Discord community server and bot ("Proyecto 26 Bot") to facilitate community discussion, sponsor support, and project coordination. By joining our Discord server, you agree to abide by our Code of Conduct and Discord's own Terms of Service. The Proyecto 26 Bot is used solely for server management, announcements, and sponsor support automation — it does not collect personal data beyond what Discord provides. Certain channels (such as sponsor support and sponsor chat) are restricted to verified sponsors at the applicable tier level. We reserve the right to remove users from the Discord server who violate our Code of Conduct or these Terms. Access to private sponsor channels is contingent upon active sponsorship status; if your sponsorship ends, access to sponsor-only channels may be revoked. Proyecto 26 is not responsible for content posted by community members in the Discord server.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
The materials on Proyecto 26's website and repositories are provided on an 'as is' basis. Proyecto 26 makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and hereby disclaims and negates all other warranties including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights. Proyecto 26 does not warrant or make any representations concerning the accuracy, likely results, or reliability of the use of the materials on its website or otherwise relating to such materials or on any sites linked to this site.
9. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Proyecto 26 or its contributors be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption) arising out of the use or inability to use the materials on Proyecto 26's website or open source projects, even if Proyecto 26 or an authorized representative has been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.
10. Accuracy of Materials
The materials appearing on Proyecto 26's website and in our repositories could include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. Proyecto 26 does not warrant that any of the materials on its website or repositories are accurate, complete, or current. Proyecto 26 may make changes to the materials contained on its website or in its projects at any time without notice. However, Proyecto 26 does not make any commitment to update the materials.
11. Third-Party Links and Services
Proyecto 26 has not reviewed all of the sites linked to its website and is not responsible for the contents of any such linked site. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by Proyecto 26 of the site. Use of any such linked website is at the user's own risk. This includes links to third-party services, package registries (npm, NuGet, etc.), and external documentation referenced in our projects. Our website and projects may include or reference third-party content governed by its own licenses; we are not responsible for third-party licensing terms.
12. Modifications to Terms
Proyecto 26 may revise these terms of service for its website and open source projects at any time without notice. By using this website and our projects, you are agreeing to be bound by the then current version of these terms of service. We encourage you to periodically review these terms to stay informed of any changes. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Proyecto 26, its contributors, maintainers, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or debt and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to the website and our open source projects; (b) your violation of any term of these Terms & Conditions; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any intellectual property, privacy, or proprietary right; or (d) any claim that your contributions or use of our projects caused damage to a third party. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the website and projects.
14. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your access to our website and services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including without limitation if you breach these Terms & Conditions. Upon termination, your right to use the website will immediately cease. However, the following sections shall survive termination: Section 3 (Source Code License), Section 4 (Media Assets License), Section 5 (Trademarks and Branding), Section 8 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Section 9 (Limitation of Liability), Section 13 (Indemnification), Section 16 (Governing Law), and any other provisions that by their nature should survive. Termination of access to the website does not affect any rights granted under applicable open source licenses for code you have already obtained, as those licenses are irrevocable (subject to their own terms).
15. Force Majeure
Proyecto 26 shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, earthquakes, accidents, strikes or labor disputes, power or telecommunications failures, internet service provider failures, government actions or orders, cyberattacks, or any other force majeure event. During such events, Proyecto 26's obligations under these Terms will be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of any such event and its expected duration.
16. Governing Law
These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Colombia, and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that location. Any disputes arising from the use of our open source projects shall first be attempted to be resolved through the project's GitHub issue tracker. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties agree to attempt mediation before pursuing litigation. Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to the Colombian Consumer Protection Statute (Law 1480 of 2011) or equivalent laws in your country of residence, which may provide additional rights that cannot be waived by contract.
