Legal Notice & Disclaimer
Last updated:
Independence from llama.cpp
This website (llama-build.com) and the Llama-Build scripts are independent community work. They are not affiliated with, sponsored, or endorsed by the official llama.cpp project or its maintainers.
The scripts interact with the upstream repository for build purposes only; the upstream project referenced in our documentation is ggml-org/llama.cpp.
License (GPLv3)
The Llama-Build scripts are released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPLv3). You may use, study, modify, and redistribute the scripts under the terms of the GPLv3. When redistributing, you must provide the same license and preserve notices.
Summary (non-exhaustive): GPLv3 ensures recipients receive the same freedoms; it disclaims warranty (see below); and requires disclosure of source when conveying binaries built from modified sources. Always refer to the official GPLv3 text for exact terms.
No Warranty & Limitation of Liability
The scripts and this website are provided “as is” and without any warranty, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee correctness, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
You assume all risk for using the scripts. We are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to data loss, system misconfiguration, downtime, or hardware stress arising from builds, even if advised of the possibility.
System Changes, Permissions & Your Responsibilities
The scripts can install and configure developer tools on Windows 10/11 (e.g., Git, CMake, Visual Studio C++ workload, CUDA Toolkit) via winget
and related installers.
They may require Administrator privileges, modify environment variables (e.g., PATH
), and may prompt for or schedule a reboot to complete setup.
- Review the scripts before executing; run only in environments where you have permission to install software.
- Ensure you have recent backups; installations may update toolchains and system components.
- After installing Visual Studio or CUDA, a new terminal session (or reboot) may be needed for environment changes to take effect.
Third-Party Software, Links & Trademarks
The scripts rely on third-party software distributed under their own licenses (e.g., Microsoft Visual Studio components, NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit). Those licenses apply in addition to our GPLv3 license. Always review the relevant third-party terms before installation or use.
Links to external sites (e.g., GitHub, vendor downloads) are provided for convenience. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, policies, or availability of external sites.
Trademarks: NVIDIA and CUDA are trademarks of NVIDIA Corporation. Microsoft, Windows, and Visual Studio are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. GitHub is a trademark of GitHub, Inc. GGML and llama.cpp are owned by their respective rights holders. Use of these names does not imply endorsement.
Privacy
This is a static project website. By default, it does not set cookies or use analytics trackers. Basic, transient web-server logs may be produced by your hosting environment (e.g., IP address, user-agent, timestamp) for security and operational purposes; retention policies depend on your server configuration.
If we introduce a contact form or analytics in the future, this section will be updated to describe what data is processed and on which legal basis.
Export Controls & Local Laws
You are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies (including export control and sanctions rules) in your jurisdiction. Do not use the project in ways prohibited by law.
Responsible & Safe Use
- Compiling with GPU backends can be compute-intensive. Ensure adequate cooling and stable power for your system.
- Keep your NVIDIA drivers and Windows updates current to reduce build/runtime issues.
- Use the scripts for lawful purposes only and respect third-party license terms.
Changes to this Notice
We may revise this Legal Notice from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the scripts or site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
