  • Workspace owners and admins are responsible for inviting users, assigning roles, managing permissions, and controlling access to projects and billing.
  • If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Your content

“User Content” means anything you or your workspace users create, upload, store, generate, submit, or publish through the Service, including text, images, files, brand assets, CMS entries, form fields, form submissions, templates, pages, project settings, domains, scripts, and published websites.

  • You are responsible for published content, including legal notices, privacy disclosures, accessibility, claims, regulated content, and rights to images, fonts, trademarks, and scripts used on your sites.

4. Builder AI and generated output

Builder AI and other AI features can generate text, layouts, images, code-like structures, page updates, suggestions, and other output based on prompts and project context. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, unsafe, infringing, or unsuitable for your use case.

  • You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving AI output before use.
  • You must not use AI features to create illegal, deceptive, harmful, infringing, abusive, hateful, sexually exploitative, or high-risk regulated content.
  • You must not represent AI output as professionally verified legal, medical, financial, safety, or compliance advice.
  • Similar or identical output may be generated for other users. We do not guarantee exclusivity of AI output.

5. Templates, assets, and platform materials

The Service includes templates, sections, components, UI patterns, editor controls, documentation, examples, brand elements, and other materials provided by us (“Platform Materials”). Platform Materials are licensed, not sold.

  • You may use Platform Materials to build and publish sites through the Service.
  • You may not copy, resell, redistribute, sublicense, scrape, extract, or exploit Platform Materials outside the Service unless we explicitly allow it.
  • Third-party assets, fonts, integrations, and stock images may be subject to separate licenses and restrictions.
  • If you publish templates or community content, you are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to share them.

6. Publishing, hosting, domains, and forms

The Service may let you publish sites to generated domains, connect custom domains, manage DNS-related settings, host static or dynamic content, collect form submissions, and manage CMS-powered pages.

  • You are responsible for domain ownership, DNS configuration, and domain renewal.
  • We may suspend or disable publishing for security, abuse, legal, billing, operational, or policy reasons.
  • We do not guarantee search engine ranking, indexing, uptime, compatibility with every browser, or uninterrupted availability.
  • You are responsible for notices and consents required for forms, cookies, analytics, embedded scripts, and end-user data collected by your published sites.

7. Acceptable use policy

You must use the Service responsibly. You may not use the Service to:

  • Violate laws, regulations, sanctions, export controls, or third-party rights.
  • Host, publish, generate, or distribute illegal, infringing, or deceptive content.
  • Phish, scam, impersonate others, mislead users, distribute spam, or run fraud.
  • Upload malware or attempt unauthorized access, scraping, probing, or disruption.
  • Overload the Service, bypass limits, resell access, or abuse automation.
  • Publish sensitive personal data, regulated data, or confidential third-party data without lawful basis and appropriate safeguards.
  • Use the Service for high-risk activities where failure could cause death, injury, serious harm, or legal compliance failures.
  • Use AI features for biometric identification, unlawful discrimination, deception, harassment, child sexual abuse material, extremist content, or other harmful use.

8. Subscriptions, billing, and plan limits

Some features require a paid plan. Current pricing, usage limits, included features, billing intervals, and plan rules are shown on /pricing or inside the app.

  • Paid subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled.
  • Upgrades may take effect immediately and may result in an immediate charge. Downgrades may be scheduled for the end of the billing cycle.
  • Fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated.
  • We may change prices, limits, or plan features with reasonable notice. Changes usually apply at the next renewal unless required sooner for legal or operational reasons.
  • Payment processing is handled by third-party providers such as Stripe and may be subject to their terms and policies.

9. Intellectual property

We and our licensors own the Service, software, editor, UI, design systems, trademarks, Platform Materials, documentation, and related intellectual property. These Terms do not transfer ownership of the Service to you.

Feedback you provide may be used by us without restriction or compensation.

10. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend, limit, or terminate access to accounts, workspaces, publishing, domains, templates, AI features, or sites if you violate these Terms, create risk, fail to pay, or if required by law.

After termination, you may lose access to projects, published sites, submissions, and stored content, subject to export features, legal obligations, and retention practices described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, SEO results, conversion results, revenue, indexing, or suitability for regulated uses.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Obvious Builder will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, data, content, traffic, ranking, subscriptions, or use.

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for claims relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or 100 EUR if you paid nothing.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Obvious Builder from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses arising from your User Content, published sites, forms, use of the Service, violation of these Terms, or violation of law or third-party rights.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice. Continued use of the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of France, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts located in France will have jurisdiction over disputes, except where applicable law gives you mandatory rights in another forum.
