These Terms of Service govern your use of the Smolde website, the pilot intake flow, the change-log flow, and any founder-assisted compliance review services we provide through the site.
By accessing or using Smolde, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
What Smolde Provides
Smolde is an informational compliance monitoring product for SaaS and AI teams. The service may include a qualified 30-day pilot, intake review, AI-assisted findings, founder follow-up, and change logging.
Smolde is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Eligibility and Business Use
You may use Smolde only if you can form a binding contract and are authorized to act on behalf of yourself or your business. The service is intended for business and professional use, not personal consumer use.
Pilot Qualification and Scope
Submission of an intake does not guarantee acceptance into the pilot. We may decide, in our discretion, whether your team is a fit for the current pilot.
Unless we agree otherwise in writing, the current pilot scope is limited, founder-assisted, and may include a baseline review plus a limited number of logged changes during the pilot period.
Your Responsibilities
You agree that you will:
- provide accurate, current, and complete information;
- submit only materials you have the right to share with Smolde;
- avoid uploading credentials, secrets, or unrelated sensitive data;
- use the service only for lawful purposes;
- not interfere with or misuse the service, infrastructure, or APIs.
Your Materials
You retain ownership of the materials you submit, including policy text, product descriptions, and change logs.
You grant Smolde a limited license to host, store, analyze, process, and transmit those materials as needed to operate the service, generate findings, communicate with you, and improve internal workflows.
AI-Assisted Output
Smolde may use AI-assisted systems to help generate summaries, findings, or suggested language. AI output may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for your specific facts.
You are responsible for reviewing all output before relying on it. If legal accuracy matters for a decision, policy update, diligence response, or public statement, you should have qualified counsel review it.
No Guarantee of Outcome
We do not guarantee that Smolde will identify every compliance issue, that your documents will be legally sufficient, or that use of the service will prevent disputes, regulatory scrutiny, lost sales, or diligence failures.
Fees and Commercial Terms
If the pilot or ongoing monitoring is paid, pricing and commercial terms may be set in a separate order form, invoice, statement of work, or other written agreement. If those terms conflict with these Terms, the separate written agreement controls for that specific engagement.
Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the service at any time if we believe you are using it unlawfully, violating these Terms, creating security risk, or misusing the pilot.
You may stop using the service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and dispute-related provisions.
Intellectual Property
Smolde and its related content, branding, software, design, and site materials are owned by Smolde or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.
Disclaimers
The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Smolde disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Smolde will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity arising out of or related to the service.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Smolde's total liability for claims arising out of or related to the service will not exceed the amount you paid Smolde for the specific service giving rise to the claim in the 12 months before the event giving rise to liability, or one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100) if no fees were paid.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we do, we may update the effective date above and post the revised Terms here. Your continued use of the service after the updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
