Plugin terms of use
Effective October 4, 2026.
The service
Gerald Norby provides The Stoic Library plugin under the Norbonics studio identity as a free reference service. It searches indexed Stoic texts and returns source excerpts, translations, citations and context. No library account, purchase or subscription is required; your assistant provider's terms and charges are separate.
Sources and interpretation
Returned wording follows the library's indexed editions and documented transcription choices. Source records name the translation and its provenance. Historical texts and translations can contain errors or views you disagree with. Check the linked text and surrounding argument before relying on a quotation. The assistant's interpretation is not part of the source and may be mistaken.
Appropriate use
The service provides reference material, not medical, legal, financial or crisis advice. Do not use it to transmit secrets, interfere with availability, evade limits or attempt access to systems or information outside the published tools. Automated access must respect rate limits and failure responses.
Availability
We may limit requests, change the service or suspend access to protect availability. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, a particular search result or correction of every source error. No charge is made for an unsuccessful request by the library.
Source rights
Edition records identify the sources and their public-domain or licensing basis. Public-domain status can differ by jurisdiction. These terms do not grant rights that the operator does not hold, or restrict rights you already have in public-domain text.
Privacy and contact
The plugin privacy policy describes how tool requests and support messages are handled. Contact norbonics@outlook.com for support, corrections or questions about these terms.
