Scout Legal And Third-Party Notices

Use Scout with attribution, consent, and clear limits.

This is not legal advice. It is the current beta-readiness posture for Scout users, testers, and distributors.

Third-party notices

Scout uses open-source acquisition software.

Attribution

Crawl4AI

This product includes software developed by UncleCode (https://x.com/unclecode) as part of the Crawl4AI project. Crawl4AI is distributed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Scout should not imply endorsement by Crawl4AI, UncleCode, or any third-party dependency maintainer.

Dependency notices

More notices before public packaging

The source repository includes `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`. Public/commercial packaging still needs a generated dependency license inventory for shipped versions.

License decision

Scout license is not final

Scout's own release license and package visibility must be decided before public registry publishing or broad commercial distribution.

Responsible acquisition

Scout does not grant permission to access websites.

Users are responsible for lawful use, site terms, robots and rate limits, permissions, account boundaries, copyright, personal data, and any regulated information they collect or process.

Avoid using Scout for restricted account pages, login-walled data, personal-data enrichment, credentialed third-party content, or sites where you do not have permission to capture and store evidence.

Launch boundary

Security gate

Dependency audit blocker

Crawl4AI currently resolves lxml 5.4.0 in Scout's tested dependency tree. Public launch remains blocked until that audit is clean or a formal exception is approved.

Hosted beta

Limited access only

Hosted beta access is capped, metered, and for approved testers. It is not a public production SaaS promise.

Local first

Safer beta path

Local Scout keeps artifacts on your machine and makes it easier to reason about workdir, credentials, screenshots, and browser evidence.
