Terms of Service
1. Scope and agreement
DS-GN is a product of LightLeap Labs LLC.
These terms govern your use of the DS-GN website, documentation, waitlist, and dashboard accounts (the services), provided by LightLeap Labs LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (DS-GN, we, or us). By using the services or creating an account, you agree to these terms. If you use the services for an organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind it to these terms.
The @ds-gn/ui and @ds-gn/tokens packages are licensed separately under the MIT License, as described in section 4. Nothing in these terms restricts the rights that license grants.
2. Accounts and the Free plan
You can create a Free account to use the DS-GN dashboard. Provide accurate information, keep your password confidential, and tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account.
The Free plan costs nothing. We may change its features and limits. Any paid plan will be offered under additional terms presented before purchase.
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to create an account or join the waitlist.
3. Waitlist
Joining the waitlist for the @ds-gn-cli/create CLI or future paid plans does not create an account, reserve a price, or commit us to launching any product or feature on any timeline.
4. Packages, content, and ownership
@ds-gn/ui and @ds-gn/tokens are released under the MIT License, which is included with each package. That license governs how you use, copy, modify, and distribute the packages. The packages are a Public Beta at version 0.x, and their APIs can change between releases.
npm distributes the packages and GitHub hosts our public issue tracker, each under its own terms.
DS-GN and its licensors own the services, documentation, and branding. The MIT License grants no rights to the DS-GN name, logo, or other trademarks.
You keep your rights in the information you submit to the services, and you permit us to host, process, and display it as needed to operate the services.
5. Acceptable use
Do not use the services unlawfully, infringe others’ rights, introduce malware, interfere with the services or other users, submit automated or false signups, bypass rate limits or other protections, or access accounts or data without authorization. Do not test the security of the dashboard without our written permission. Report suspected vulnerabilities to the contact address below.
6. Privacy and third-party services
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. Third-party services, including npm and GitHub, have their own terms and privacy practices.
7. Availability, suspension, and closure
We may change or discontinue parts of the services, including beta features, and we do not promise uninterrupted availability.
We may suspend or close an account to address security threats, unlawful activity, or material breaches of these terms. Where practicable, we will give notice and a chance to resolve the issue first.
You can stop using the services at any time and can ask us to close your account by writing to the contact address below. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination continue to apply.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
The MIT License includes its own warranty disclaimer and limitation of liability for the @ds-gn/ui and @ds-gn/tokens packages.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LIGHTLEAP AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF US$100 OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties to be disclaimed or certain damages to be limited, so parts of sections 8 and 9 may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
10. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DS-GN from claims, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from your breach of these terms, your violation of law or of someone else’s rights, or information you submit to the services. We will notify you of any such claim and may participate in its defense with counsel of our choosing.
11. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Before filing a claim, you and we each agree to try to resolve the dispute informally: write to the other party describing the dispute and negotiate in good faith for at least 30 days. Our contact details are in section 13; we will write to the email address on your account.
If the dispute is not resolved, it will be decided exclusively by the state courts located in McHenry County, Illinois, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property.
If you use the services as a consumer outside the United States, this section does not remove protections that the mandatory laws of your country of residence give you.
12. General terms
These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and DS-GN about the services and replace any prior agreements on that subject. Additional terms presented with a paid plan or other offering also apply to that offering.
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
You may not assign or transfer these terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
We may send notices to the email address on your account or post them on the website. Send notices to us using the contact details in section 13.
We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. These terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship, and they give no rights to third parties.
You may not use the services in violation of U.S. export control or sanctions laws, including if you are located in a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions or are on a U.S. government restricted-party list.
13. Changes and contact
We identify each revision with an effective date and version. For material changes, we will give reasonable notice before they take effect, such as an email to account holders or a notice on the website, and obtain agreement where the law requires it. Changes do not retroactively remove rights that applicable law protects.
