Terms of Service

These terms govern the use of the bank8.dev website and the Bank8 software. By using either, you agree to them.

The website (bank8.dev)​

bank8.dev provides public documentation about Bank8 and the Sentin8 platform. The site and its content are provided "as is" for informational purposes. You may read, link, and quote from the documentation; the repository licenses (the Apache-2.0 license and each file's SPDX headers) govern any reuse of the source or text.

The Bank8 software​

Bank8 is distributed as Apache-2.0-licensed software on top of the Apache-2.0-licensed Sentin8 platform. The licenses in the repositories you consume are the authoritative grant for your use of the software. Nothing in these terms overrides or extends those licenses.

Deploying and operating Bank8​

Bank8 is infrastructure for regulated banking. When you deploy it, you - the deploying organization - are the operator of your environment and the controller of the data in it. In particular:

  1. You own your compliance. Banking regulation, KYC and screening obligations, and payment-scheme rules remain yours. The platform provides security mechanisms (mandatory tenant isolation, post-quantum TLS, live authorization, audit trails); meeting your regulatory obligations is your responsibility as the operator.
  2. You own your data. Tenant data lives in the tenant's own databases. The platform's default configuration keeps no copy of it anywhere else.
  3. You own your configuration choices. Security guarantees that hold "by construction" are documented as such; any mechanism you choose to disable is your decision as the operator.

Acceptable use​

Do not use Bank8, the platform, or this website to break the law, to attack systems you do not own or operate, or to process data you have no lawful basis to process.

No warranty​

The software is licensed "as is" without warranty of any kind, per the Apache-2.0 license. Website content describes the software as implemented at the time of writing; the code in the repositories is the source of truth.

Liability​

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither the authors nor the contributors are liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from the use of the software or this website, per the Apache-2.0 license.

Changes​

These terms may be updated as the software evolves. The canonical version always lives at this address.

Architecture & Design: Bank8 and the Sentin8 platform it runs on were designed by Hamid Jahanzad.
