Copy-paste-ready disclaimer text for every public-facing surface of a Power Agents VS Code extension. Maintains consistency across the Marketplace listing, in-extension UI, and supporting docs.

These snippets are written out for Power Claude and apply to every product in the family. Each extension ships the same snippets with its own vendor substituted:

Product<Product><Host Software><Host Vendor>Extension directory
Power ClaudePower ClaudeClaude, Claude CodeAnthropic, PBCpower-claude
Power CodexPower CodexCodexOpenAIpower-codex
Power GrokPower GrokGrokxAIpower-grok
Power KimiPower KimiKimiMoonshot AIpower-kimi

Substitute the whole row, never part of it. A Power Codex surface that keeps the Anthropic disclaimer discloses nothing about OpenAI, whose mark it is actually using — which is the failure the disclaimer exists to prevent. The nominative fair-use position is per mark and per vendor: see Trademark Policy § 3.1.

A. Top-of-README banner (Marketplace listing body)

Insert immediately under the H1 in .vscode/extensions/power-claude/README.md:

```markdown

⚠️ Power Claude is an independent third-party product developed by Neural-LLM It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to Anthropic, PBC. "Claude" and "Claude Code" are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC, used here under nominative fair use solely to identify the Anthropic products with which our software interoperates. Power Claude is a companion utility — you must obtain and pay for your own Anthropic Claude account separately.

```

B. package.json description field rewrite

Replace the current short description with one that includes the unaffiliated marker. Marketplace search results show ~140 chars, so the disclaimer fragment must come early but not crowd out keywords:

``json "description": "Multi-account rotation, rate-limit healing, session resilience, and usage analytics for Claude Code (unaffiliated with Anthropic)." ``

Marketplace tile is 128 chars — confirm rendering before publish.

C. About panel disclaimer text (in-extension UI)

Render this verbatim in the extension's About panel (or whatever surface displays product metadata):

```text Power Claude v[VERSION] — by Neural-LLM

Power Claude is an independent product. It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to Anthropic, PBC.

"Claude" and "Claude Code" are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC. Power Claude uses these names solely to identify the Anthropic products with which it interoperates (nominative fair use).

You must have your own paid Anthropic Claude account, used in accordance with Anthropic's terms.

D. Marketplace long-description footer

Append to the very end of the Marketplace listing body so it's visible on every product page:

```markdown

Show below the settings list (subtle text, second-priority styling):

``text Power Claude · Neural-LLM · Independent of Anthropic, PBC ``

F. First-run onboarding modal

G. Status-bar tooltip

The little hover text on the status-bar item:

``text Power Claude — independent of Anthropic ``

H. Error-state surface (when license validation fails / network down)

When the license check returns a network failure or server error, the Extension operates in an offline grace period (paid features remain active during the grace window). When the Trial has expired or the Subscription is inactive and the server cannot be reached, paid features are locked. Show this banner:

```text Power Claude couldn't reach the license server. If you have an active subscription or trial, paid features remain available during the offline grace period. Once that window closes, paid features will be locked until connectivity is restored. Click to retry.

Power Claude is published by Neural-LLM — independent of Anthropic, PBC. ```

I. CHANGELOG.md footer

Append once to CHANGELOG.md:

```markdown


All releases of Power Claude are published by Neural-LLM, an independent company unaffiliated with Anthropic, PBC. "Claude" and "Claude Code" are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC. ```

Rationale

The repeated disclaimer pattern in modern third-party assistant-adjacent tools (Cline, Roo Code, etc.) follows the same nominative-fair-use playbook:

  • Identify the third-party product clearly so users know what they're interoperating with
  • State non-affiliation EVERY time the third-party product is mentioned in marketing context
  • Acknowledge the trademark holder
  • Place the disclaimer adjacent to (not buried under) the marketing copy

This protects against:

  • Implied-endorsement claims by a host vendor
  • User confusion about who is providing support / billing
  • Trademark dilution claims
  • Liability if users believe a Power Agents product IS the host software and misuse it
