Terms of Service
Version v2 — 2026-08-10 · Last updated 2026-08-10
TODO-OPERATOR: This document is a starting point written for a generic
template, not legal advice. Have qualified counsel review and adapt it
to your product, your jurisdiction, and your risk tolerance before
launch, then bump the version in Foundation::Legal.
1. Who we are
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and the operator of Star Atlas (the "Service"). The operator is identified as TODO-OPERATOR: legal entity name and address. Questions about these Terms can be sent to legal@example.com.
2. What the Service is
The Service is a web application reachable at https://example.com and at pages linked from it. It lets you create an account, sign in, and use the features the operator makes available to your account, which may include content, tools, and — where the storefront is enabled — the ability to purchase products.
The Service evolves: features may be added, changed, or retired. Where a change removes something you have paid for, Section 6 (Purchases) and Section 8 (Termination) describe what happens to outstanding balances and orders.
3. Accounts and eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account, or older where the law of your residence sets a higher minimum for agreeing to terms like these. By creating an account you confirm that you meet this requirement.
You agree to provide a working email address, keep your credentials secret, and tell us promptly at support@example.com if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission. You are responsible for activity performed with your credentials until you notify us. Accounts are for a single person; sharing one account between several people, or registering with disposable email addresses, is not permitted.
4. Acceptable use
When using the Service you agree not to:
- break the law, or help anyone else break it;
- probe, scan, overload, or attempt to bypass security or rate limits, including CAPTCHA or bot challenges;
- scrape or bulk-collect content or personal data without written permission;
- upload malware or content you have no right to share;
- impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation;
- harass, threaten, or defraud other users;
- resell or white-label the Service without a separate agreement.
We may remove content or suspend accounts that we reasonably believe violate this section, with notice where practical.
5. Your content and our IP
Content you submit stays yours. You grant the operator a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, copy, display, and process it solely to run and improve the Service. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for lawful backups kept for a limited time.
The Service itself — its software, design, trademarks, and content the operator provides — belongs to the operator or its licensors. Open source components remain governed by their own licenses. Except for rights these Terms grant expressly, no rights in the Service are transferred to you.
6. Purchases and refunds
Where the Service offers paid products or subscriptions, prices, currency, and any recurring interval are shown at the point of purchase and are charged through our payment processor. Amounts are computed by the Service; the checkout page always shows the amount you will pay before you confirm.
The template storefront supports digital goods only and collects no shipping address. Inventory may represent limited licenses or service capacity. TODO-OPERATOR: describe digital delivery timing, access duration, support, applicable sales/VAT taxes, and any regional sales restrictions. Do not offer shipped goods until you add address collection, shipping charges, tax treatment, and appropriate consumer terms.
TODO-OPERATOR: describe your actual refund and cancellation policy here (statutory withdrawal rights in your market, goodwill refunds, subscription proration, digital-goods exceptions). Until replaced, the default is: refunds are granted where required by law, and otherwise at the operator's reasonable discretion.
7. Legal assent and records
When you create an account you are asked to tick a box confirming that you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy. We record the document versions you accepted, the time, and technical details of the request (IP address and browser identification) so that both sides have a reliable record of what was agreed and when.
8. Termination
You may delete your account at any time from your account settings; this ends these Terms except for sections that by nature survive (IP, disclaimers, liability, governing law). We may suspend or close accounts that violate these Terms, create legal exposure, or have been inactive for an extended period, giving advance notice by email where the reason allows it. If we close your account without cause, we will refund any prepaid, unused fees where required by law.
9. Disclaimers and liability
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, the operator disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and does not promise the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
To the extent the law allows, the operator's total liability for claims arising out of these Terms is capped at the greater of the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve months before the claim and fifty euros/dollars, and neither side is liable for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for intent, gross negligence, or personal injury.
10. Governing law
TODO-OPERATOR: set the governing law and venue for your operation (for example: "These Terms are governed by the laws of ____, and disputes are resolved by the courts of ____"). Mandatory consumer protection rules of your users' home countries may still apply regardless of this choice.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the Service or the law changes. Each version carries the identifier shown at the top of this page. For material changes we will give at least 14 days' notice by email or an in-product notice before the new version takes effect; continuing to use the Service after that date means you accept the new version. If you do not accept it, stop using the Service and delete your account. The version you accepted at signup remains recorded on your account.
