Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Crontech platform, website, APIs, or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you must be at least 16 years of age.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Crontech Technologies, Inc. ("Crontech," "we," "us," or "our"). By clicking "I Agree," creating an account, or otherwise accessing the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and our Cookie Policy, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

2. Description of Service

Crontech is an AI-native full-stack developer platform that provides integrated frontend hosting, backend API services, database management, artificial intelligence tools, and real-time collaboration capabilities. The Service includes, but is not limited to:

• Frontend application hosting and deployment via global edge network (330+ locations)

• Backend API infrastructure with serverless compute and edge functions

• Database services including relational (PostgreSQL via Neon), edge SQLite (via Turso), and vector search (via Qdrant)

• AI-powered development tools including code generation, website building, video processing, and content creation

• Three-tier AI compute: client-side inference via WebGPU (runs entirely on your device), edge inference via Cloudflare Workers AI, and cloud inference via GPU clusters

• Real-time collaborative editing powered by Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs)

• Authentication services including passkeys (WebAuthn/FIDO2), Google OAuth, and email/password

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide 30 days' notice for material changes.

3. Account Registration and Security

To access certain features, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to: (a) provide accurate, current, and complete information; (b) maintain and promptly update your account information; (c) maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials; (d) accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account; and (e) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use.

Passwords are hashed using Argon2id and are never stored in plaintext. We strongly recommend enabling passkey authentication for maximum security.

Each individual may maintain only one (1) account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or abuse free tier limits is grounds for immediate termination.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, has been compromised, or poses a risk to the Service or other users.

4. Subscription Plans, Billing, and Payments

The Service is offered in multiple tiers: Free, Pro, Team, and Enterprise. The Free tier is subject to usage limitations and is provided "as-is" without uptime guarantees.

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on either a monthly or annual basis through Stripe, Inc. By subscribing, you authorize Crontech to charge your designated payment method for all applicable fees. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified.

Paid subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel before the renewal date via the Settings page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

We may change pricing at any time. For existing subscribers, price changes take effect at the start of the next billing period following at least thirty (30) days' written notice via email.

Refunds are available on a prorated basis within fourteen (14) days of the start of a new billing period. Refund requests must be submitted to billing@crontech.dev.

If your payment method fails, we will attempt to charge it again over fourteen (14) days. If payment cannot be collected, your account may be downgraded to the Free tier.

17. Aggressive Protection Clauses (DRAFT — requires attorney review)

DRAFT — requires attorney review. This section consolidates and strengthens the protections set forth above. Nothing in this Section 17 weakens any existing protection; where duplicative, the stronger protection controls.

17.1 Binding Individual Arbitration. Disputes are resolved by binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or, at Crontech's election, JAMS, under each body's applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration is conducted by a single arbitrator, in English, by videoconference where permitted. The arbitrator, not a court, decides all issues relating to enforceability, arbitrability, and scope of this clause. See also Section 12.

17.2 Class-Action Waiver. Each party may bring claims only in an individual capacity. No class, consolidated, collective, mass, or representative actions. No private attorney general actions. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration clause is severable at Crontech's election.

17.3 30-Day Opt-Out. You may opt out of arbitration (Sections 12 and 17.1) by emailing legal@crontech.dev within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, with subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and including your account email. Opt-out does not affect the class-action waiver or any other provision.

17.4 Small Claims Carve-Out. Either party may bring a qualifying individual claim in small-claims court in the claimant's jurisdiction of residence.

17.5 Liability Cap. Reaffirming Section 10: total aggregate liability is capped at the GREATER of (a) fees paid in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). During any beta or early-access phase, the Beta Disclaimer imposes a lower $50 cap that controls per the conflict rule in the Beta Disclaimer.

17.6 No Consequential Damages. Reaffirming Section 10: Crontech is not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost goodwill, business interruption, or any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility.

17.7 AS-IS / AS-AVAILABLE. The Service, including all AI features and all beta features, is provided AS-IS and AS-AVAILABLE, without warranties of any kind — express, implied, or statutory — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, or uninterrupted operation. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties; in those jurisdictions, exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted.

17.8 AI Output Disclaimer. AI output is informational only. It is not legal, medical, financial, tax, engineering, or safety-critical advice. You are solely responsible for independent verification before acting on any AI output. See also Section 7.

17.9 Customer Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Crontech, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, liability, damage, loss, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, your code, your AI outputs, your customer interactions, and your violation of these Terms or applicable law. Reaffirming Section 11.

17.10 Unilateral Suspension and Termination. Crontech reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service, unilaterally, for any reason or no reason, with notice where reasonably practicable, including for suspected violation of these Terms, risk to the Service or other users, or to comply with applicable law.

17.11 Reverse Engineering Prohibited. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, model weights, or internal architecture of the Service, except to the extent this prohibition is unenforceable under applicable law.

17.12 Force Majeure. Reaffirming Section 15: Crontech is not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, epidemics, government actions, power failures, internet or telecommunications disruptions, third-party service outages, labor disputes, and cyberattacks.

17.13 Severability and Entire Agreement. Reaffirming Section 15: if any provision is unenforceable, it is enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remainder remains in full force. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, AUP, Cookie Policy, SLA, AI Disclosure, DMCA Policy, and Beta Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements.

17.14 Governing Law — New Zealand. We intend that these Terms be governed by the laws of New Zealand, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and that New Zealand courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction for claims that fall outside the arbitration clause. This replaces and supersedes the Delaware choice-of-law language in Section 12 for purposes of international enforcement. DRAFT — attorney to confirm enforceability against US, EU, and UK consumers and to advise on US-specific carve-outs where NZ law cannot validly govern.

17.15 Export Controls / US Sanctions. You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in, under the control of, or a resident or national of any country subject to comprehensive US economic sanctions (including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine); (b) you are not on the US Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, the US Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Entity List or Denied Persons List, or any equivalent restricted-party list under the law of any other jurisdiction; and (c) you will not use or export the Service in violation of US or any other applicable export-control or sanctions law.

17.16 Age Requirement: 18+. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to create an account or use the Service. Where Section 1 references age 13 (or 16 EEA/UK), that language addresses child-privacy statutory obligations and does not authorize under-18 use of the platform. Accounts discovered to belong to users under 18 will be terminated.

17.17 30-Day Notice for Terms Changes. For material changes to these Terms, Crontech provides at least thirty (30) days' notice by email and in-Service banner. Reaffirming Section 14.

17.18 No Weakening of Existing Protections. In the event any provision in this Section 17 is interpreted as weaker than a corresponding provision elsewhere in these Terms or incorporated policies, the stronger provision controls. Section 17 is additive only.
