+### **LibreHEMS Community Wiki: Terms of Use & Safety Disclaimer**
+
+---
+
+Welcome to the LibreHEMS community wiki. Our goal is to create a shared, open-source knowledge base for home energy management. By accessing or contributing to this wiki, you agree to the following terms.
+
+*   **⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK**
+    Electricity can cause severe injury or death. All work involving mains electricity—including installing, modifying, or servicing inverters, panels, batteries, or wiring—**must only be performed by a licensed and qualified professional in your jurisdiction.** Do not attempt this work yourself. Safety is not a joke.
+
+*   **Information Provided "As Is"**
+    All content on this wiki is community-generated and shared in good faith. It is provided "as is" without any warranty or guarantee of accuracy, completeness, suitability, or timeliness. Configurations that work for one person may not work for your specific hardware, software, or regional regulations.
+
+*   **You Are Solely Responsible**
+    You are solely responsible for any and all actions you take based on the information found here. It is your duty to verify all information and assess the risks associated with your specific situation before proceeding.
+
+*   **No Endorsement Implied**
+    The mention of specific brands, products, or services is for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute an official endorsement or recommendation by the LibreHEMS project or its community.
+
+*   **Limitation of Liability**
+    In no event shall the contributors, administrators, or moderators of this wiki be held liable for any damages whatsoever. This includes, but is not limited to, damage to property, equipment failure, data loss, financial loss, personal injury, or death resulting from the use or misuse of information provided here.
+
+---
+
+**2. Community Code of Conduct**
+
+We strive to maintain a welcoming, respectful, and collaborative environment. Access to our community platforms is a privilege, not a right.
+
+*   **Be Respectful:** Treat all members with courtesy, even during disagreements. Constructive criticism is welcome; personal attacks are not.
+*   **Prohibited Behavior:** Harassment, hate speech, discriminatory language, insults, trolling, and personal attacks will not be tolerated.
+*   **Content Moderation:** We reserve the right to edit, move, close, or delete any content for any reason to ensure the health and focus of the community.
+*   **Enforcement:** We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently ban anyone who willfully violates these rules.
+
+---
+
+**3. User-Generated Content & Licensing**
+
+This project is open source. To maintain that, all contributions fall under the project's primary license.
+
+*   **License:** The LibreHEMS project, including this wiki, is licensed under the **MIT License**.
+*   **Your Contributions:** By submitting content (text, images, diagrams, code snippets, etc.) to this wiki, you agree to license your contribution under the same MIT License. This ensures that all knowledge shared here remains as open and reusable as the source code itself.
+*   **What This Means:** The MIT License is a permissive license that allows others to freely use, copy, modify, and distribute your contributions, provided they include the original copyright notice and a copy of the license. You can view the full license in the project's GitHub repository.
