Problem statement
Currently, the application does not provide a dedicated Terms and Conditions page. This creates a gap in user transparency regarding usage rules, data handling, and legal boundaries of the platform.
Users typically expect to find clear legal information before using a product, and its absence may reduce trust or create compliance concerns for deployment in production or public environments.
Proposed solution
Add a dedicated Terms and Conditions page within the CodeLens application.
This page should:
Clearly outline user responsibilities and acceptable usage
Include data usage and privacy-related disclaimers (if applicable)
Define limitations of liability
Be accessible from the footer or settings/help section
Optionally include versioning and last updated date
Alternative solutions considered
Embedding terms in README: Not ideal, as users rarely check repository documentation for legal terms in a deployed app.
Popup modal on first launch: Useful for acknowledgment but still requires a full page for reference.
External link to hosted document: Could work, but adds dependency on external hosting and reduces transparency within the app itself.
A dedicated internal page remains the most reliable and user-friendly option.
Use case or motivation
This feature is important for:
First-time users who want clarity on usage rules
Developers deploying the app publicly or commercially
Ensuring compliance with standard software distribution practices
Building trust and professionalism in the product
References or mockups
No response
Additional context
This page can be static (Markdown/HTML-based) and version-controlled within the repo.
Should be easy to update without impacting core functionality.
Consider future extension to include Privacy Policy alongside Terms.
