Combinatronics - Acceptable Use Policy

Effective date: July 23, 2021

Combinatronics ("us", "we", or "our") operates the Combinatronics website (the "Service" or "Combinatronics").

By using Combinatronics, you agree to follow this Acceptable Use Policy (the "Policy"). If you are found to be in violation of the Policy at any time, as determined by Combinatronics in its sole discretion, we may warn you, prevent you from using our Service, or take any other action we deem appropriate. Please note that we may change our Acceptable Use Policy at any time, and it is your responsibility to keep up-to-date with and adhere to the Policy posted here.

1. Permitted Use

Combinatronics works as a CDN for content already stored on GitHub, and other third-party services. These services are not operated by us, and each of them has its own terms of use. Any content accessed via Combinatronics must conform to the terms of the service from which it was retrieved. For example, when you use Combinatronics as a CDN for GitHub, the content must conform to all GitHub's policies. Additionally, any content accessed via Combinatronics must conform to our own policies as described in this document.

As long as you do not violate our rules:

• using Combinatronics is free for both personal and commercial use,
• there are no limits on bandwidth or number of requests,
• we will provide a reasonable level of support via GitHub issues and email for urgent and private matters.

2. Hard Limits and Restrictions

To maintain the performance and security of our Service, we have various limits and restrictions in place. These may include but are not limited to:

• maximum size of a single file,
• maximum number of files in a single package,
• maximum size of a single package,
• blocking of certain file extensions.

When requesting a resource that does not meet these limits, you will get an error response indicating the reason. The limits are set considerably higher than needed for most projects and may be further increased or removed for legitimate projects on request.

3. Soft Limits and Recommendations

These limits are not automatically enforced by our Service, but you agree not to exceed them:

For projects using our GitHub proxy:

We recommend that the number of actively accessed files per repository does not exceed 10 000. If you have considerably more files, a custom proxy endpoint for your project may be a better fit.

The soft limit for the number of files per repository is 100 000.

4. Prohibited Use

The following behavior is prohibited:

Hosting or accessing content that:

• contains malware or harmful code in any form,
• violates proprietary rights of others,
• is sexually explicit,
• is potentially illegal in the EU or the USA.

Abusing the service and its resources, or using Combinatronics as a general-purpose file or media hosting service. This includes, for example:

• running an image hosting website and using Combinatronics as a storage for all uploaded images,
• hosting videos, file backups, or other files in large quantities.

We recognize that there are legitimate projects that consist of a large number of files, and these are not considered abuse. For example: icons packs, apps, or games with a large number of assets.

Trying to bypass our limits or restrictions in any way. We will be happy to remove limits or provide custom solutions for legitimate projects.

5. Limitation of Liability

In no event will the Combinatronics entities be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your access to or use of, or your inability to access or use, the websites and online services or any materials or content on the websites and online services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, whether or not the Combinatronics entities have been informed of the possibility of such damage.
