Terms of Service

What Liam is

An ad manager you run against your own accounts.

Liam creates and reports on advertising campaigns on LinkedIn and Google Ads. It is operated by Default (default.com). The source is published under the MIT licence at github.com/stan-default/liam, and you are free to read, fork, and self-host it on those terms.

Liam is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by LinkedIn or Google. It calls their public APIs using credentials you supply.

Your accounts

You bring your own credentials, and they stay yours.

Liam has no advertising accounts of its own. Everything it does runs against the ad accounts you authenticate, using a developer application you register with the platform and an OAuth grant you approve. You are responsible for keeping those credentials secret and for revoking them if they are exposed.

You may only use Liam against accounts you own or are authorised to operate, and your use must comply with the terms of the platform you are calling, including the LinkedIn Marketing API terms and the Google Ads API Terms of Service and policies. If those terms conflict with these, theirs govern your use of their API.

Spend

Liam does not activate anything, and you own what it costs.

By design, everything Liam creates is inert: LinkedIn entities are created as drafts, Google entities as paused, and there is deliberately no command or tool that can enable them. Turning a campaign on is a separate action you take yourself in Campaign Manager or the Google Ads interface.

That is a safeguard, not a guarantee. You remain solely responsible for every campaign you activate, every budget you set, and all advertising spend on your accounts. Review what Liam has built before you switch it on.

The hosted endpoint

Provided as a convenience, with no uptime promise.

The hosted MCP endpoint is offered free and as a convenience. It may change, rate-limit, or stop entirely at any time without notice. Do not build anything you depend on around its availability; if you need it to be reliable, self-host it. Automated abuse, attempts to reach accounts you do not control, and use that degrades the service for others are not permitted, and access may be withdrawn.

Warranty and liability

No warranty.

Liam is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. It automates a system that spends money, and it can be wrong: an API can change, a report can mislead, and a brief can be misread.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Default is not liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from your use of Liam, including advertising spend, lost revenue, lost data, or campaigns that performed other than you hoped. Verify before you activate.

Changes and contact

Getting in touch.

We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected in the date at the top of this page, and the history is public in the repository. Continuing to use Liam after a change means you accept it.

Questions about these terms: stan@default.com. Bugs and feature requests are better raised as an issue on GitHub.
