Terms of service

These terms are an agreement between you and LSP SOFTWARE LTD (company number 14566565, registered office Unit 82a James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Bury St. Edmunds, England, IP28 7DE) for your use of the hosted DotRelay service at dotrelay.dev, its web app, API and the DotRelay CLI when connected to it. By signing in you accept them. If you use DotRelay for an organisation, you accept them on its behalf and confirm you are allowed to.

Pre-release service

DotRelay is in early access. Features may change or be removed, the service may be unavailable at times, and we do not yet offer an uptime commitment. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose, and do not rely on DotRelay as your only store of a secret.

Price

The hosted service is free during early access. We plan to charge for it later. Before any paid plan applies to you, we will tell you the price and terms at least 30 days in advance, and we will not charge you without your agreement. If you do not want to pay, you can export your data and stop using the service.

Your account

• You sign in with GitHub and must be at least 16.
• You are responsible for activity under your account and on your devices, and for keeping your encryption password, recovery code and devices safe.
• Your data is end-to-end encrypted. We cannot read it, and we cannot recover it if you lose every device and your recovery code.
• Removing someone from a team stops future access but cannot take back values they have already seen. Rotate keys and change those secrets when someone leaves.

Your content

You keep all rights to what you store in DotRelay. You give us permission to store, copy and transmit it, in encrypted form, only as needed to run the service for you and the people you share it with. You are responsible for having the right to store and share it.

Acceptable use

Do not use DotRelay to:

• break the law or infringe anyone's rights;
• attack, probe or overload the service, or get around its rate limits, authentication or access controls, except through authorised security research reported as our security policy describes;
• store or distribute malware; or
• resell, rent or offer the hosted service to others as a service of your own.

The open-source software

DotRelay's source code is available under its own licence (AGPL-3.0 with the Commons Clause), which governs your use of the code. These terms cover only the hosted service we run.

Suspension and ending

You can stop using DotRelay at any time and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the service or other users at risk, and will tell you why unless the law or security prevents it. If we ever shut the hosted service down, we will give at least 30 days' notice so you can export your data with the CLI.

Liability

The service is provided free of charge during early access, “as is” and “as available”. We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or suitable for any particular purpose, and you use it at your own risk.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude all liability to you, whether in contract, negligence or otherwise, for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service. That includes loss of data, secrets or credentials, loss of profits or business, and any indirect or consequential loss. If we are liable to you despite this, our total liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and £50.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else the law does not allow us to exclude or limit. If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will give signed-in users notice of significant changes before they apply. If you keep using DotRelay after that, the new terms apply; if you do not agree, stop using the service.

Law and contact

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, whose courts have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the UK, you may also bring a claim in your local courts. How we handle personal data is described in our privacy policy. Contact us at [email protected].
