Terms of Service
Effective Date:
publish.dev ("we") helps you create and host custom content sites. These terms govern that Service. By buying or using the Service, you agree to these terms. For questions, email legal@publish.dev.
1. Your account
Give us accurate account and payment information. Keep your sign-in details secure.
You are responsible for activity under your account, including activity by people you invite.
2. Your content and site
You keep ownership of the code, text, images, files, and domain you bring to the Service.
You give us a limited right to use and publish your content to provide and protect the Service and to comply with law. This right ends when we no longer need your content for those purposes.
Sites are public by default. You are responsible for your site and must have the rights to use and publish its content, including any personal information.
3. GitHub access
If you connect GitHub, our app uses read-only access to the repositories you approve. We use repository details and change information to find the publish.os folder you select. We read files in that folder to provide the Service.
We do not read, copy, or store file contents outside that folder. We do not clone your repository, train models on your code, change repository visibility, or write to your source repository. Any future write access requires your separate approval in GitHub.
4. Rules and enforcement
4.1. Prohibited use
Do not use the Service to:
- Break the law or publish content that infringes someone else's rights.
- Publish personal information without the right to do so.
- Send spam, run phishing, or publish malware or harmful code.
- Threaten or harass people, or expose passwords, access keys, or other secrets.
- Attack, overload, or bypass the security of the Service or another system.
If your unlawful or infringing content causes a claim by someone else, you must cover our reasonable losses, including legal fees. This applies only where law allows and does not cover claims caused by our own actions.
4.2. Removal and suspension
We can remove content, suspend the Service, or close an account at our discretion. We can act without prior notice, especially when content poses a legal or security risk. You can ask us to review an action.
5. Copyright reports
To report copyright infringement, identify the work, the content URL, your contact details, and your rights in the work. If we remove your content by mistake, send us the URL and your reason for asking us to restore it. Send notices to legal@publish.dev.
6. Billing and cancellation
6.1. Billing
We show your plan, price, and billing period before you buy. Paid plans renew for the same billing period until you cancel. We will notify you of price changes.
6.2. Cancellation
You can cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period. You keep paid access until then, and we will not charge you for a later period. We can stop hosting your site after paid access ends. Keep your own copy of its files.
7. Refunds
You can request a voluntary refund within 30 days of your first purchase. We decide whether to grant that request. We will refund amounts paid for Service that we fail to provide. Your rights under law still apply.
8. Service changes and liability
We can change the Service and will notify you of material changes. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free Service. To the extent law allows, we provide it without other warranties.
To the extent law allows, we are not liable for lost profits or indirect losses. Our total liability across all claims about the Service is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. These limits do not apply where law bars them.
9. Law and changes to these terms
Alberta law governs these terms. Courts in Alberta hear disputes about them. Mandatory laws that protect you still apply, including any right to bring a claim in another court.
We will post notice of material changes to these terms in the Service or on our site at least seven days before they take effect. We can make an immediate change when law or security requires it. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and cancel your plan.
