Terms of Service

Effective August 28, 2025

Please read these Terms of Service ("Agreement" or "Terms") carefully before using Bredbox (the "Service"). Bredbox ("Bredbox", "we", "us", "our") provides a link saving and reading application and related websites, extensions, and services (collectively, the "Bredbox Services"). By accessing or using any Bredbox Services you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Bredbox Services.

These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy. If you create an account or otherwise use features that require authentication, additional posted guidelines or policies may apply.

1. The Bredbox Service

Bredbox lets you save URLs, stores normalized metadata (title, description, site name, favicon, extracted reader view text when available, language and reading time estimates, and a content hash for deduplication), and lets you organize items (currently via tags; collections and highlights are planned). The Service is provided for your personal, non-commercial use unless we separately authorize other use in writing.

You are responsible for ensuring you had lawful access to any content at the time you saved it. Respect third-party rights and usage restrictions posted on the original site.

Features described in product materials may still be in development or available only to early access users. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.

Public developer/API access is planned within the next 12 months. Any API, webhook, integration, or automation endpoints ("API Access") will be subject to additional or updated terms, usage guidelines, authentication requirements, and rate limits published at launch. Until those specific API terms are posted you may not programmatically scrape or mass‑export beyond normal personal interactive usage.

2. License Grant

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Bredbox Services for personal, non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

3. Ownership

The Bredbox Services, including all software, code, text, design, logos, and other materials (excluding third-party content you save) are owned by Human Who Codes LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. No ownership rights are transferred to you by use of the Service.

4. License Restrictions

5. Accounts & Information You Provide

Account creation currently requires OAuth (Google or GitHub). You must provide accurate information and keep it current. You are responsible for activity under your account. Notify us promptly of unauthorized access. Account deletion procedures are described in the Privacy Policy and may require email request until in-app controls launch.

6. User Content & Copyright

Saving a link may create an internal copy of certain page elements (e.g., extracted article text) solely to provide the Service to you and support internal relevance features. We do not publish your saved content publicly or resell it. You represent you had rights to access the content at save time. If you believe content available through user saving infringes rights, contact us at support@humanwhocodes.com with details so we can review.

We may remove content believed to infringe or violate law or these Terms and may suspend repeat infringers.

Copyright Notices: If you believe saved material (or extracted text) accessible only to its saving user still infringes your copyright and should be removed or disabled, email support@humanwhocodes.com with: (a) your contact details, (b) identification of the copyrighted work, (c) the URL originally hosting it, (d) a statement you have a good‑faith belief use is unauthorized, and (e) a statement under penalty of perjury you are authorized to act. Because saved items are private, we may request additional confirmation the item persists in a way that infringes before action. This lightweight process may later be replaced by a formal DMCA agent listing.

We plan to introduce optional paid features ("Subscriptions") by December 2025. During a 30‑day free trial after you first activate an account with prospective paid functionality, you will have full write capabilities. After the trial ends, if you have not subscribed, your account transitions to read‑only (you cannot add new saves, edit tags, or perform write actions) until you subscribe. Paid plans restore write access; currently the feature set is otherwise the same (no exclusive capabilities yet) but may later include additional functionality which will be disclosed before activation.

Subscriptions will auto‑renew (monthly or annual) until cancelled. You can cancel at any time effective at the end of the current billing period; access continues through that period. No refunds (full or pro‑rata) are provided unless required by law. Any introductory or trial promotions will clearly state duration and post‑trial billing amount before you are charged. If billing terms materially change (e.g., price increase) we will give at least 30 days advance notice; continued paid use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

If a subscription lapses or is cancelled, your existing data (including saved items and organizational metadata) remains accessible in read‑only form and exportable for 365 days, after which it may be permanently deleted from active systems and backups per our retention schedule. Reactivating a subscription within that window restores write access without data restoration fees.

7. Third-Party Sites & Services

Links you save point to third-party sites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, policies, or availability. External services (e.g., OAuth providers, email delivery, hosting infrastructure) are subject to their own terms. Any forthcoming integrations or APIs will be governed by additional terms if applicable.

8. Proprietary Rights Notices

All Bredbox trademarks, logos, and product names are the property of Human Who Codes LLC. Other names may be trademarks of their respective owners. No rights are granted to use any marks without prior written consent.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE BREDBOX SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION OR THAT CONTENT RETRIEVAL OR METADATA EXTRACTION WILL ALWAYS BE ACCURATE OR AVAILABLE.

NO GUARANTEED UPTIME: Bredbox does not provide any service level agreement (SLA) or guaranteed availability at this stage. Outages, maintenance windows, or feature regressions may occur without notice.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL BREDBOX OR ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR REVENUE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU (IF ANY) IN THE 6 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $25.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; those limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Human Who Codes LLC from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Service.

12. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES BINDING ARBITRATION OF CERTAIN DISPUTES AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIALS.

(a) Informal Resolution. Before filing any claim, you and Bredbox agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by emailing support@humanwhocodes.com with a brief written description and supporting documents. If unresolved after 30 days, either party may commence arbitration.

(b) Arbitration. Any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Bredbox Services ("Dispute") will be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes, including formation, scope, or enforceability of this Section, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property or trade secrets.

(c) Venue & Procedures. Arbitration will occur in (or by video from) the county of your residence if in the United States, otherwise Essex County, Massachusetts, unless the parties agree otherwise. AAA rules govern payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. We will reimburse such fees for individual claims seeking less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

(d) Class & Representative Waiver. ALL DISPUTES MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED (IF PERMITTED) SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.

(e) Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing support@humanwhocodes.com with subject line: "Arbitration Opt-Out" and a statement that you opt out. Your opt-out will not impact other provisions.

(f) Severability. If the class waiver is found unenforceable for a Dispute, this Section is unenforceable for that Dispute and it will proceed in court.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access for violation of these Terms or to address security, legal, or operational concerns. You may stop using the Service at any time. Upon termination, your license ends and we may delete your data per our retention practices and Privacy Policy.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration clause. For disputes not subject to arbitration (or where the arbitration clause is found unenforceable), you and Bredbox consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in state or federal courts located in Essex County, Massachusetts.

15. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified to active account holders (e.g., email or in-app notice) prior to the effective date. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. The Effective Date above shows the last revision.
