Terms of Service

By accessing or using StarterApp, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" means that entity.

This Agreement becomes effective upon your first access to the Service, creation of an account, purchase, or download—whichever occurs first.

Unless otherwise stated in an order form or checkout page:

• License Grant (Software & Templates). We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install, copy, and use StarterApp source code, templates, and documentation for your own projects and products.
• Scope. The license grants you permission to use StarterApp for unlimited products and projects. You may create derivative works for your product(s) but not resell StarterApp itself, its templates as templates, or create a competing starter or boilerplate using substantial portions of our materials.
• No Transfer / No Sublicense. You may not sublicense, assign, or transfer the license without our prior written consent.
• Third-Party Dependencies. Some features require third-party services (for example Stripe, OAuth providers, PostHog, deployment platforms, or AI APIs). You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining those accounts and complying with their terms.

Note on Termination Rights (template parity): We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access or licenses for violations of these Terms, legal risk, security concerns, fraud or abuse, or non-payment.

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract. You are responsible for the accuracy of registration information and for maintaining the confidentiality of credentials and API keys used with the Service or integrated providers.

You agree not to:

• use the Service to build a substantially similar or competing product or starter or boilerplate;
• infringe the rights of others or violate applicable law;
• interfere with or disrupt the Service, security, or related systems;
• misuse rate limits or third-party APIs provided via the Service.

Pricing and features are shown at checkout or in an order form. We currently offer an one-time license.

• One-time Licenses. Provide ongoing license rights as described in Section 3; support or updates may be time-limited if specified at purchase.
• Price Changes. We may change prices prospectively at any time; existing subscriptions renew at the then-current price.
• Taxes. Prices exclude taxes unless stated; you are responsible for applicable taxes.

Due to the digital nature of the product, all sales are final once access to code, templates, or downloads has been granted, unless a separate written policy or mandatory law requires otherwise.

Some features enable or integrate with AI providers, analytics, auth, and payments. You understand:

• Data you submit to third-party providers is governed by their terms and privacy policies.
• AI features may generate output that is inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate; you are responsible for human review and for how you use such outputs.
• We may provide configuration guidance, but you control provider choices and usage.

You retain all rights to content you input or host using the Service ("Your Content"). You represent you have necessary rights to Your Content and that Your Content and your use of the Service comply with law and these Terms. You are solely responsible for:

• obtaining necessary rights, consents, and notices (including privacy disclosures to your end users);
• configuring and securing your deployments;
• complying with payment, tax, privacy, and consumer laws applicable to your product.

The Service, including all code, templates, documentation, designs, and branding, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by IP laws. Except for the license in Section 3, no rights are granted. Feedback you provide may be used by us without restriction or obligation.

Non-public information we disclose to you that is marked or reasonably understood as confidential must be kept confidential and used only to exercise your rights under these Terms. This does not apply to information that is public, already known to you, independently developed, or rightfully obtained from a third party.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and process personal data. By using the Service, you consent to our data practices as described there. If you process personal data of your own end users using the Service, you are the controller of that data and must provide all required notices and obtain necessary consents.

StarterApp may evolve over time. We may add, modify, or discontinue features with or without notice. Unless a separate support agreement applies, support is provided on a commercially reasonable basis via documentation and community channels.

We implement commercially reasonable security measures for the Service. You are responsible for your own infrastructure security (for example API keys, environment variables, deployment posture) and for promptly installing updates, patches, and fixes we provide.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND NON-INTERFERENCE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT OUTPUTS (INCLUDING AI OUTPUTS) WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

This Agreement does not affect your non-waivable statutory rights.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• Indirect Damages. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.
• Cap. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN THE AGGREGATE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY (OR USD $500 IF NO PURCHASE WAS MADE).
• Basis of Bargain. These limitations form an essential basis of the bargain between you and us.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from and against claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content; (b) your products or services built with StarterApp; (c) your breach of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) misuse of the Service.

These Terms continue until terminated. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you breach these Terms, create material legal or security risk, or fail to pay fees when due. Upon termination, your license and access cease, but Sections 9–21 survive. You must cease use of StarterApp materials except to the extent a perpetual code license expressly survives (if applicable to your purchase), in which case your continued use must still comply with Sections 5, 10, and 14–21.

You represent you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in any embargoed country and are not on any government denied-party list. You agree to comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws.

StarterApp is “commercial computer software” and related documentation. Government end-users acquire rights only as set forth in these Terms.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be effective prospectively upon posting, with the “Last updated” date revised above. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance.

• Governing Law & Venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding conflicts of laws rules. Exclusive jurisdiction and venue lie in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.
• Independent Contractors. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship is created by these Terms or your use of the Service. You will not hold yourself out as our representative or agent.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, sale, or reorganization.
• Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remainder remains in effect.
• Waiver. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Entire Agreement. These Terms (and any order form or checkout terms referenced here) are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject.
