Terms of Service

Effective date: February 22, 2026

Source Library (“the Service”) is operated by the Ancient Wisdom Trust in partnership with the Embassy of the Free Mind, Amsterdam. By using the Service, you agree to these terms.

1. The Service

Source Library provides digitized historical texts with AI-generated translations, OCR transcriptions, and extracted illustrations. Content is provided for scholarly, educational, and personal use.

2. Accounts

Some content requires a free account. You must provide a valid email address. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. We may suspend accounts that violate these terms.

3. Content and Copyright

The original texts on Source Library are in the public domain. AI-generated translations, transcriptions, summaries, and metadata are provided under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). You may copy, redistribute, and build upon this material for any purpose, provided you give appropriate credit to Source Library.

4. AI-Generated Content

Translations and summaries are generated by AI and may contain errors. They are intended as scholarly aids, not authoritative translations. Users should verify content against original sources for academic citation.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: scrape the Service at scale without permission; misrepresent AI-generated translations as human translations; use the Service for any unlawful purpose; or attempt to interfere with the Service’s operation.

6. Disclaimer

The Service is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee the accuracy of translations or the availability of the Service.

7. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
