Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and DesignSnipe ("DesignSnipe", "we", "us", or "our") and govern your access to and use of the website at www.designsnipe.com and the related website-builder service (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, clicking "I agree," or completing a purchase, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

PLEASE READ SECTIONS 13 (DISCLAIMER), 14 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY), AND 16 (ARBITRATION AND CLASS-ACTION WAIVER) CAREFULLY. THEY LIMIT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) and able to form a legally binding contract to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.

2. The Service

DesignSnipe provides software that helps you generate and customize websites using artificial-intelligence models, design systems, and downloadable HTML output. Features, pricing, and availability may change at any time at our sole discretion. Some features may be designated beta, preview, or experimental and may be modified or discontinued without notice.

3. Account and Access

You may use the Service without creating an account, in which case your designs are stored locally in your browser. If you provide an email address or other identifying information, you agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current. You are responsible for all activity conducted using your browser session, device, or any credentials you use, and for safeguarding access to them.

4. Pricing, Payment, and Taxes

• The Service is free to use up to the point of download. To download generated files you must purchase a one-time plan at the price displayed at checkout.
• All prices are in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for any sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes that apply to your purchase.
• Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By providing payment information you authorize us and our payment processor to charge the applicable amount.
• We may change prices at any time. Price changes will not retroactively apply to purchases that have already been completed.

5. Refunds

Because the Service delivers digital goods that you can download, copy, and use immediately after purchase, all sales are final once download access has been granted. If you have not yet downloaded any files and you believe the Service did not function as described, you may request a refund within fourteen (14) days of purchase by emailing us at the address below. Refunds outside of this window are granted at our sole discretion. Chargebacks initiated without first contacting us may result in immediate termination of access and forfeiture of any generated content.

6. License to You

Subject to these Terms and your payment of all applicable fees, DesignSnipe grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, modify, and publish the HTML files and other static assets you generate and download through the Service (the "Output"), including for commercial purposes. You may host the Output on any platform, modify it, and use it for an unlimited number of websites that you or your client owns. You may not, however:

• Resell, redistribute, or sublicense the Service itself or any of its underlying templates, design systems, section libraries, or component code as a stand-alone product or template marketplace.
• Reproduce DesignSnipe's trademarks, logos, brand name, or proprietary section designs in a way that suggests endorsement or that competes with the Service.
• Provide the Output to third parties as part of a competing website-builder, template, or theme product.

7. Our Intellectual Property

DesignSnipe, the DesignSnipe name and logo, the Service software, the underlying section library, design styles, color palettes, and all related intellectual property are and remain the exclusive property of DesignSnipe and its licensors. Except for the license expressly granted in Section 6, no rights are granted to you under these Terms.

8. User Content

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Service, including business information, documents, logos, images, and other materials ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant DesignSnipe a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, transmit, and display that content solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service for you. You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights, licenses, and consents to submit the User Content;
• Your User Content does not infringe or misappropriate any third-party intellectual-property, privacy, or other right;
• Your User Content does not violate any law or these Terms.

9. AI-Generated Content

The Service uses third-party artificial-intelligence models to generate copy, design suggestions, and other Output from your inputs. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or substantially similar to content appearing elsewhere. You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, editing, and ensuring the legality of the Output before publishing or distributing it. DesignSnipe makes no warranty of accuracy, originality, non-infringement, or fitness for any particular purpose with respect to AI-generated Output.

10. Acceptable Use

You will not, and will not permit any third party to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or harmful purpose;
• Generate content that infringes intellectual-property rights, violates privacy, or impersonates any person or entity;
• Generate content that promotes hate, violence, child sexual abuse material, malware, or other content prohibited by law or our service providers' policies;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service except to the extent expressly permitted by law;
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service or its infrastructure, or breach any security or authentication measure;
• Use bots, scripts, or automated means to access, copy, or interact with the Service except via our published APIs;
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service, or impose an unreasonable load on it;
• Use the Service to develop or train any competing AI model, website-builder, or template product;
• Submit any User Content for which you do not hold all necessary rights and permissions.

11. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers, including but not limited to Anthropic, Vercel, v0, and Stripe. Your use of those providers' services through DesignSnipe is also governed by their own terms and policies. DesignSnipe is not responsible for, and disclaims all liability arising from, the acts, omissions, availability, or content of third-party services.

12. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, exposed us or other users to legal or security risk, or for any other reason in our sole discretion. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17) will survive.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DESIGNSNIPE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM US WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DESIGNSNIPE AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF DESIGNSNIPE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DESIGNSNIPE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Indemnification

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DesignSnipe and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and licensors from and against any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your access to or use of the Service, (b) your User Content or the Output you publish, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us.

16. Arbitration and Class-Action Waiver

You and DesignSnipe agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service exclusively through final and binding individual arbitrationadministered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted in the State of Delaware, in English, by a single arbitrator. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator awards otherwise. You and DesignSnipe waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court or seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual-property rights. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@designsnipe.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms.

17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 16, any action that is not subject to arbitration must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. The "Effective" date at the top reflects the latest version. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Service after a change becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to a change, you must stop using the Service.

19. Force Majeure

DesignSnipe will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, government action, internet or power outages, denial-of-service attacks, or failures of third-party providers.

20. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and DesignSnipe regarding the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be a waiver of that right or provision.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.
• No agency. No partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship is created by these Terms.
• Notices. We may give you notices through the Service, by email, or by posting to the website. You may give us notice at the email below.
