Terms of Service
The contract between Showly and customers using the platform. Plan-tier limits, acceptable use, liability framing, and termination rules.
Authoritative source: legal/terms-of-service.md in the platform repository. Each section flagged [REVIEW] in the source awaits external counsel input before going live.
Your plan
Free, Pro, Team, or Enterprise. Each plan has documented entitlements (site count, AI credits, audit retention, MFA, SSO). The full matrix is on the pricing page. Plan upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period.
Acceptable use
- forbidden hosting illegal, defamatory, or rights-infringing content
- forbidden network attacks, scraping at scale, cryptocurrency mining
- forbidden circumventing plan quotas (creating multiple orgs to evade Free tier limits)
- subject to review high-volume automated traffic — talk to us about Enterprise before going past Team-tier baseline
- always permitted hobby sites, client projects, open-source documentation
Service availability
We publish uptime against documented SLOs (API 99.5%, deploy success 95%). The public status page at status.showly.ai reflects current and historical state. Enterprise contracts include a written SLA with credits.
Termination
- by you cancel at any time via the billing settings. Service runs until the end of the paid period.
- by us for non-payment, after the 21-day dunning sequence completes
- by us, immediate for acceptable- use violations that cause active harm (e.g. ongoing attack)
- data retention after termination 30-day archive then hard delete; export available throughout the archive window
Liability
Capped at fees paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. No indirect, consequential, or punitive damages. Excludes: indemnification obligations, IP infringement, breach of confidentiality, and applicable consumer-protection floors.
This page summarises the current draft. The repository holds the full structural document — see the legal/terms-of-service.md referenced above. Substantive language is intentionally conservative until counsel review concludes.
