Terms of Service

The rules for using Openturn — what you can build and host, what we expect from you, and what we may do in response to abuse.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Openturn (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

We're a small team and we've tried to write these Terms in plain language. Where something is unclear, we generally interpret it in good faith and favor common sense over technicalities.

1. Who can use Openturn

You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live. If you're using Openturn on behalf of an organization, you're confirming that you have the authority to do so on its behalf.

2. Your account

You're responsible for what happens under your account, including any games or other content you deploy. Keep your credentials and API tokens to yourself, and let us know if you think someone else has gained access.

3. Acceptable use

Don't use Openturn to:

  • break the law;
  • infringe someone else's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
  • distribute malware, run unauthorized cryptomining, or attack other accounts or systems;
  • harass, threaten, defame, or impersonate anyone;
  • publish content that sexually exploits minors, incites violence, or is primarily intended to harm a specific person or group;
  • send spam, or try to game Openturn's discovery, ranking, or recommendation surfaces;
  • interfere with the Service through excessive load, scraping, or by evading rate limits.

4. Your content

You keep the rights to the games, code, art, and other materials you upload ("Your Content"). You give Openturn permission to host it, store it, and serve it to end-users so the Service can actually work. That permission ends when you delete the relevant deployment, give or take a little time for backups and content already in flight to end-users.

You're confirming that you have the rights you need to upload Your Content, and that it doesn't violate these Terms.

5. Content review and removal

Openturn may review any game deployment — automatically, manually, or both — and decide, at our discretion, whether to display it on Discover, in search, on shared links, or at all. We may remove a deployment, downrank it, restrict it to its author, ask for changes, or block it from public surfaces, with or without explanation. We do this based on our content guidelines and our judgment about what's appropriate for the Service and its users.

This doesn't replace any takedown obligations we have under applicable law.

6. Account suspension and termination

We may suspend or permanently ban your account, with or without prior notice, if we believe you've broken these Terms or general internet content-publishing norms — for example, illegality, harassment, sexual content involving minors, doxxing, malware distribution, fraud, or coordinated abuse. We may also act if your usage poses a security or operational risk to the Service.

You can close your account at any time from the dashboard.

7. Fees

The core Service is free during alpha. We may introduce paid plans or usage-based pricing later, and we'll give you reasonable notice before any fees apply to your account.

8. Service availability

We try hard to keep Openturn running, but the Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We can't promise it will always be up, error-free, or secure, and we may change, pause, or end any part of it.

9. Third-party services

Openturn uses third parties for things like authentication, hosting, and email. Their terms apply to their services in addition to ours.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Openturn isn't liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim related to the Service is capped at a small amount — at most, the fees you've paid us in the past twelve months, or a hundred dollars, whichever is greater.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms now and then. If we make a meaningful change, we'll let you know through the Service or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Openturn after that means you accept the new Terms.
