Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Startspot (the "Service"), an online tool that generates and hosts websites from a short description. By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email; continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country) and able to enter into a binding contract to use the Service.

You are responsible for your account, for keeping your credentials secure, and for all activity that happens under it. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorised use.

You must provide accurate account information and keep it up to date.

Startspot lets you describe a website and uses artificial intelligence to generate its copy, layout, logo and imagery, which you can then edit, publish on a Startspot subdomain, and optionally connect to your own custom domain.

Features, limits and availability may change as we improve the Service. We may add, modify or discontinue features, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

You retain ownership of the text, images, logos and other materials you provide ("Your Content") and of the websites you generate and publish with the Service ("Your Sites").

You grant Startspot a worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt and display Your Content and Your Sites solely to operate, secure and improve the Service and to serve your published sites to visitors.

You may opt a site out of our public showcase and featured rotation at any time in the site settings. If you do not opt out, a published site may appear — with its screenshot and a short AI-written description — in our showcase and marketing.

You are solely responsible for Your Content and Your Sites, including that you have the rights to everything you upload and that your sites comply with applicable law.

The Service uses AI models to generate website copy, designs, logos and legal-document templates. AI output can be inaccurate, generic, or unintentionally similar to existing material, and is provided "as is".

You are responsible for reviewing, editing and verifying all generated output before publishing it, including its accuracy, originality, and compliance with laws (for example advertising, consumer-protection and intellectual-property rules).

Any legal documents generated for your own sites are templates, not legal advice.

You agree not to use the Service to create, host or distribute content that is unlawful, infringing, deceptive, hateful, sexually exploitative, malicious, or that violates the rights or privacy of others.

You agree not to: attempt to breach or probe the security of the Service; abuse, overload or reverse-engineer it; resell it without permission; or use it to send spam or to build a competing dataset or model.

We may suspend or remove content or accounts that breach these Terms or that create legal or security risk.

The Service relies on third parties to function, and by using it you also rely on them:

• Anthropic — AI models used to generate copy, designs and logos.
• Cloudflare — provisioning and TLS for custom domains, and bot protection on published forms.
• Cloud object storage (S3-compatible) — hosting of images, logos and generated assets.
• Email and infrastructure providers used to operate and deliver the Service.

Your use of connected third-party services (for example a custom domain registrar) is subject to their own terms.

The Service itself — its software, design, and brand — belongs to Startspot and its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you no rights in the Service other than the right to use it as permitted here.

Where paid plans are offered, the applicable fees, billing cycle and refund terms will be shown at purchase. Taxes may apply. If a plan is not active for your account, the Service is provided free of charge and without any commitment.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service.

On termination your right to use the Service ends. We may delete Your Content and Your Sites after a reasonable period; export anything you want to keep beforehand.

The Service and all generated output are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Startspot will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or, if you paid nothing, EUR 100.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, and disputes will be subject to the competent courts there, unless mandatory consumer law in your country of residence provides otherwise.
