Terms of Service

1. The Service

websmith generates website code from information you provide — a URL, a business name, or a brief. It reads publicly available information about the business you name, produces a structured brief for you to review, and then generates a single-file website.

The open-source command-line tool (the `websmith` npm package and `@websmith/core`) is provided under the MIT licence and runs on your own machine with your own model provider keys. These Terms apply to the hosted Service at this website. The hosted web application and build worker are proprietary.

2. Accounts

You must provide a valid email address and are responsible for activity in your workspace, including that of any members you invite. Keep your sign-in codes and any API keys confidential. One account per person; do not share credentials.

You must be old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction (at least 18 in most places).

3. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Serious or repeated violations may result in immediate suspension or termination and forfeiture of your supercoin balance.

4. Your content and intellectual property

You retain ownership of the briefs you create and the website output generated for you. You grant us a limited licence to host, store, process, and transmit that content solely to operate and improve the Service.

You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any source material you provide or direct the Service to read — including any third-party website, brand, logo, text, or image — and that the output you publish will not infringe anyone’s rights.

We retain all rights in the hosted platform, its design, and its underlying software (other than components we have released under an open-source licence).

5. AI-generated output

Website output is produced by automated language models. It is not reviewed by a human before delivery and may contain errors, omissions, inaccurate statements, or content that does not fit your needs. You are responsible for reviewing, correcting, and testing any output before you publish or rely on it.

The Service is provided for your use “as is”. We make no warranty that the output is accurate, complete, fit for any particular purpose, or free of infringement.

6. Billing, subscriptions, and supercoins

• Paid plans are billed monthly in advance through our payment processor (Stripe) and renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period.
• “Supercoins” are prepaid service credits used to run builds. One supercoin has a face value of USD $0.10. Supercoins are not money, not a security, and not redeemable for cash. They may only be used within the Service.
• Plans grant a monthly allowance of supercoins. Top-up packs grant a one-time amount and expire 12 months after purchase. Unused monthly-allowance supercoins may expire at the end of each billing cycle.
• When you start a build we place a hold for its maximum cost and settle to the actual cost on completion. If a build fails, the hold is released in full.
• We may change prices or plan contents with at least 30 days’ notice, effective at your next renewal.
• You are responsible for any taxes on your purchases; where required these are calculated and added at checkout.

7. Refunds

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.

8. Suspension and termination

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 or the Acceptable Use Policy, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Where practical we will give notice.

On termination for cause, unspent supercoins are forfeited and no refund is due. On termination without cause, we will refund the unused portion of any prepaid subscription period.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or relating to the Service in any 12-month period will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in that period or (b) USD $100. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will give reasonable notice (for example by email or an in-app notice). Continued use of the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [PROVINCE/STATE, COUNTRY], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts located there have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your place of residence provides otherwise.
