Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-06-06

These Terms govern your use of “Livonian dictionary access” (at https://livonian.valksor.com — the web page, the JSON API, and the MCP endpoint, together the “Service”), a free, public, read-only service operated by Valksor (valksor.com). By using the Service you agree to these Terms; if you do not agree, do not use it.

1. What the Service is

The Service looks up words and inflection tables in the Livonian dictionary at livonian.tech and returns attested data, so language tools and LLMs are grounded in real entries rather than invented ones. It is a thin access layer; the dictionary content is not ours.

2. Data and licensing (important)

The dictionary data originates from the Livonian.tech platform (University of Latvia Livonian Institute) and is licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. If you reuse or publish results from this Service you must attribute the source per livonian.tech's referencing policy and license adaptations under the same terms. Using this Service grants you no rights beyond that underlying licence.

3. Acceptable use

Use the Service lawfully and considerately. You must not:

• use it as a bulk-scraping proxy to mass-extract livonian.tech;
• circumvent or hammer the per-IP rate limits, or otherwise overload or disrupt the Service;
• attempt unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure;
• use it for any unlawful purpose.

We rate-limit per IP and may block or restrict abusive traffic.

4. Availability & accuracy

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, with no warranty and no uptime or support guarantee. The accuracy and completeness of the linguistic data are the upstream source's; we do not guarantee them. We may change, limit, or discontinue the Service at any time.

5. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Valksor is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the Service or its data.

6. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Latvia and the European Union.

7. Changes

We may update these Terms; the “Last updated” date above reflects the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
