Terms of Use

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Yozhef Serhiiovych Hisem, an individual based in Chop, Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine ("Ploof", "we", "us"). They cover the Ploof Studio app for Mac, the websites ploof.dev and studio.ploof.dev, and related services (together, the "Services").

By installing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Services.

You must be at least 18, or 13 to 17 with a parent or guardian's permission. If you use Ploof for a company, you confirm that you can accept these Terms on its behalf.

Signing in. You sign in with GitHub, Google or Vercel. Keep those accounts secure. You're responsible for what happens in Ploof under your account.

Connected accounts. To publish, you connect your own GitHub or Vercel account. Ploof then acts on your instructions: it creates repositories, pushes code and deploys sites there. You can disconnect them at any time in the app or in the provider's settings. Your use of those accounts, and any domain you buy, is governed by the provider's own terms and pricing.

Subscription and AI credits. Ploof Studio is available through Setapp. Setapp, operated by MacPaw Way Ltd., handles your subscription, payments, trials, refunds and AI credits under the Setapp Terms of Use. AI features use credits, and when they run out, those features may stop until your credits renew. We don't charge you directly.

Your own API key. Instead of credits, you can add your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key. Requests made with it run on your account with that provider. You're responsible for its terms and charges.

You own your site. Your prompts, the files you upload, and the code and text Ploof generates for you ("Your Content") belong to you, as far as the law allows. We claim no ownership of them.

What you let us do. You give us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process and transmit Your Content, but only to run the Services for you. That includes sending it to our AI provider and pushing it to the accounts you connect. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies we must keep by law.

Your responsibility. You confirm that you have the rights to everything you upload or ask Ploof to use. That includes logos, photos, text and any reference site. Naming a reference site lets Ploof take inspiration from its general style, such as colors, fonts and layout. Don't use Ploof to copy another site's content, branding or trademarks.

Photos. Ploof may add stock photos to your site. These remain subject to their original licenses, and it's up to you to check that they fit your use.

Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them freely, with no obligation to you.

AI output. Ploof generates your sites with third-party AI models. Depending on the AI connection used, these come from Setapp AI, Anthropic or OpenAI. AI can make mistakes. Text may be inaccurate, code may have bugs, and similar prompts may produce similar results for other users. Our automatic checks catch common problems but not every one. Review your site before you publish it. You're responsible for what goes live, including its accuracy, legal notices and accessibility.

AI providers. Setapp AI can route requests to different underlying model providers, and the available models can change without notice. Any provider may reject, filter, delay, log or retain a request under its own rules. We aren't responsible for a provider's output, outages, retention or safety decisions, except where the law doesn't allow us to exclude that.

Output may not be unique or protected. AI can produce similar or identical results for different users. Output may not qualify for copyright or other protection, and it may resemble third-party content. We claim no ownership of your output, but we don't guarantee that it's unique, original, non-infringing or registrable.

Check before you publish. Before your site goes live, check at least:

• texts, prices, opening hours, contact details and any claims about your business;
• names, logos, trademarks and legal notices;
• images, including whether people, artwork or other third-party content appear lawfully;
• links, forms and how the site looks on phone and desktop.

AI output is not legal, financial, medical or other professional advice.

Don't use Ploof to:

• break the law or infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
• create phishing, scam or impersonation sites, or sites that pretend to be another person, brand or organization;
• create or spread malware, spam, or content that sexualizes minors or is violent, hateful, harassing or deceptive;
• break the usage policies of Setapp, Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub, Vercel or Google;
• reverse engineer, overload or get around the limits or security of the Services;
• access the Services through bots or scripts we haven't approved, or resell them;
• use the Services or their output to build a competing AI model.

If you break these rules, we may remove content, block features, or suspend or close your account. Where we reasonably can, we'll warn you first and tell you why. To dispute our decision, write to support@ploof.dev.

Rights complaints. If you believe a site made with Ploof uses your content, trademark or likeness without permission, email support@ploof.dev with:

• your name and contact details, and your authority if you act for someone else;
• the work, trademark or person affected;
• where the material is, such as the site URL;
• a short explanation and any evidence.

We may ask for more information and take proportionate action on what we control, such as limiting the account involved. Published sites live on the user's own GitHub or Vercel account, so we usually can't remove them ourselves. You can also report them directly to the host. Please don't send knowingly false complaints.

Our property. The Ploof app, website, brand, design and underlying software belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app on Macs you own or control, in line with these Terms and your Setapp subscription. This license doesn't cover Your Content, which stays yours.

Third-party services. Ploof works with services we don't control: Setapp AI, Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub, Google, Vercel, Setapp and domain registrars. Their terms apply to your use of them. We aren't responsible for their availability, pricing or actions, such as a host taking a site down.

Changes to the Services. We're a small team, and Ploof will keep changing. We may add, change or remove features, and we may update the app automatically for security fixes.

Ending the agreement. You can stop using Ploof at any time. Your account, including its deletion, is managed by Setapp. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if the law requires it, or if we shut down the Services. If we shut down, we'll give reasonable notice when we can, so you can export your sites. Sites already published on your GitHub or Vercel accounts stay there. Sections 3, 6 and 7 survive termination.

No warranties. The Services, and everything they generate, are provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind. That includes merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of AI output, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Limits on our liability. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages. That includes lost profits, data, revenue or goodwill, and harm caused by sites you publish. Our total liability for all claims about the Services is limited to the greater of USD 50 and the amount Ploof received for your use in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. It also doesn't limit your statutory rights as a consumer.

Indemnity. You agree to cover our costs, including reasonable legal fees, if a third party makes a claim against us because of Your Content, the sites you publish, or your breach of these Terms. This doesn't apply where the claim is caused by our fault.

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine. If you're a consumer in the EU or UK, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country. You can bring a claim in the courts where you live.

Disputes. Before going to court, please email us. We'll try to resolve the issue informally within 30 days.

Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms. We'll post the new version here with a new effective date. If the changes are significant, we'll tell you in the app or by email at least 14 days in advance. If you keep using Ploof after that, you accept the new Terms.

General. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the Services. If one part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a right, we haven't waived it. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent. We may transfer them to a successor of Ploof. You may not use the Services where US or EU sanctions prohibit it. If a translation of these Terms differs from the English version, the English version applies.
