The developer of kcauto-kai makes no guarantee that the end-user will not be caught and penalized for using kcauto-kai, and does not take any responsibility for any repercussions that befall the end-user. Non-stop expeditions and sorties increases the chances of being flagged and banned for botting.

In addition, although unlikely, you may lose ships if you allow kcauto-kai to conduct combat sorties. While kcauto-kai has been painstakingly designed to reduce the chances of this happening, the developer of kcauto-kai does not take responsibility regarding loss of ships and/or resources.
