Website Terms of Use

DRAFT — pending legal counsel review. This document is a working draft prepared for internal review. It is not legal advice and is not yet legally effective. Bracketed placeholders such as [JURISDICTION] await completion by counsel. Do not rely on this draft or represent it as final.

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the temper.codes website and its content. They do not govern the Temper software itself — that is licensed separately (see Section 2).

Last updated: [DATE] · Effective: [DATE]

01 Acceptance

Using this site means agreeing.

This website is operated by Byte-Lab (“Byte-Lab,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the maker of Temper. By accessing or using temper.codes (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Site. If you use the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

02 What these terms cover

The website — not the software.

These Terms are deliberately narrow. The product and the marketing site are governed by different instruments; this page is only the latter.

These Terms apply to the Site: its pages, text, documentation, diagrams, benchmark write-ups, and other content. They do not license or govern the Temper software.

The Temper software is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1 (see the LICENSE file distributed with the software), which permits internal production use subject to a Competing-Use restriction and converts to the Apache License 2.0 on the applicable Change Date. Paid tiers (Pro and Enterprise) are additionally governed by a separate commercial agreement (a Master Software License and Support Agreement and an Order Form) and are activated by a signed license file. Where a commercial agreement applies, it — not these Terms — governs your use of the software.

03 Acceptable use

Reasonable, lawful use only.

You may view, download, and print Site content for your own informational and internal evaluation purposes. You agree not to:

  • use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or regulation;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its hosting infrastructure, or any connected system, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site except as permitted under our security policy;
  • interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Site, including through automated scraping that imposes an unreasonable load;
  • misrepresent your affiliation with Byte-Lab or Temper, or use our name, logo, or trademarks except as expressly permitted; or
  • remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.

The Site is a static, informational website. It has no user accounts, no login, and no forms; the only way to contact us through the Site is by email to the addresses we publish.

04 Intellectual property

Content and marks stay ours.

The Site and its content — text, layout, graphics, and the arrangement thereof — are owned by Byte-Lab or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited permission in Section 3, no right or license is granted to you in any Site content. “Temper,” “Byte-Lab,” the Temper mark, and related names and logos are trademarks of Byte-Lab; nothing on the Site grants you any right to use them without our prior written permission. Rights in the Temper software are governed by its own license, not by these Terms.

05 Third-party links

We link out; we don't vouch.

The Site may link to third-party websites or resources (for example, a source-code repository or documentation host). We provide these links for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party sites, their content, or their privacy practices. Accessing a linked site is at your own risk and subject to that site’s terms.

06 Disclaimers

Provided “as is.”

Benchmark and savings figures on the Site are measured results from specific test configurations. Your workloads and results will differ.

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any content is complete or current.

Performance, benchmark, pricing, and savings figures on the Site are illustrative, reflect specific measured configurations, and may change without notice. Pricing shown is early-access and a placeholder subject to change. Nothing on the Site is a warranty, guarantee, or binding offer, and nothing on the Site should be read as a commitment about how the software will perform in your environment.

07 Limitation of liability

Bounded, to the extent allowed.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BYTE-LAB AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site will not exceed [USD 100 / applicable minimum permitted by law]. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. This section governs the Site only; liability relating to the software is addressed in the software’s license and any commercial agreement.

08 Changes & governing law

We may update; [JURISDICTION] applies.

Changes to these Terms. We may revise these Terms from time to time. The current version is always posted here with its “Last updated” date. Material changes take effect when posted; your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, stop using the Site.

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any dispute relating to the Site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in [JURISDICTION/VENUE], except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.
