Terms of service.

By signing up for or using Saturn ("the service"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't create an account, and don't use the service. These terms form the agreement between you and SaturnOS regarding your use of the service.

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll bump the "last updated" date at the top, and for material changes we'll send a notice to active accounts. If you keep using Saturn after a change takes effect, you've accepted the new version.

You need to be at least 16 years old to create a Saturn account. You agree to provide accurate information when you sign up and to keep it current. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials safe and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us at support@saturnos.app if you suspect unauthorized access.

One person, one account. You may not share an account, sell it, or transfer it. Team plans are designed for genuine team use — not for circumventing per-seat pricing.

Saturn is a tool for shipping real work. We trust you to use it like one. Specifically, you agree not to:

Saturn's agents (Plan, Build, Take-the-Wheel, and friends) generate suggestions. They are not infallible, they can be confidently wrong, and they may produce text that resembles output you've seen elsewhere. You are responsible for reviewing what Saturn produces before you ship it, publish it, send it, or otherwise rely on it. Treat AI output as a draft from a fast, well-read collaborator — not as a guarantee.

You retain ownership of the content you put into Saturn and of the outputs you accept. You grant us a limited license to process that content as needed to run the service for you (storing it, rendering it, sending it to model providers when you ask Saturn to act).

Paid plans are billed monthly through Stripe in advance. Prices are listed on the pricing page and may change with at least 30 days' notice for existing subscribers. Taxes are added where applicable.

You can cancel at any time from the Stripe customer portal in your settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep paid features until then. We do not pro-rate or refund partial months. If a charge fails, we'll attempt to retry; if we can't collect, the account drops to the free tier.

The Saturn marketplace lets creators publish a project as a buyout (one-time purchase) or a hosted monthly subscription, or both. These terms apply to anyone who lists, sells, buys, or subscribes to a marketplace listing in addition to the rest of this agreement.

Saturn's role is platform, payment processor, and (for subscriptions) host. We provide the storefront, run checkout through Stripe, host the per-buyer copy of a subscribed app on a Saturn subdomain, and pay creators their share. We are not the seller of record for the listed product itself — the creator who published the listing is responsible for the project they list, the accuracy of its description, the support they choose to offer, and any claims it makes. Saturn does not endorse, guarantee, or warrant any individual listing.

Creators receive their share of each completed sale net of the current platform fee published on the pricing page. Saturn deducts the platform fee from gross at sale time; the creator's share is paid out manually by a Saturn operator on a recurring schedule (currently weekly) via the rail the creator selects in their payout settings, including bank, Wise, or supported crypto. Payout details are encrypted at rest and visible only to operators on the verification queue. Saturn does not currently issue 1099 or equivalent tax forms automatically — creators are responsible for their own tax reporting in their jurisdiction. We may withhold a payout when we have a reasonable basis to suspect fraud, chargeback risk, or violation of these terms.

Buyouts are refundable within 24 hours of purchase. After the refund window closes, a buyout is final. Refunds reverse the buyer's access to the cloned project, cancel the creator's pending payout for that sale, and may be granted later only at our discretion in exceptional cases (for example, a confirmed fraudulent purchase). Subscription periods that have already been paid for are not refundable; you can cancel a subscription at any time and your access continues until the end of the current paid period, at which point the hosted copy is archived.

Data ownership tracks the type of purchase. During an active subscription you own the data you create inside your hosted instance — Saturn provides export tooling and we do not claim ownership of buyer-generated data. The underlying code, configuration, and design of the listed project remain owned by the creator and licensed to you only for the duration of the subscription. After a buyout completes (whether bought outright or converted from an active subscription) the workspace transfers to the buyer and the buyer owns both the data and the underlying code as delivered at the time of the buyout. The creator retains the right to continue operating their own copy of the project and to license it to other buyers.

Creators can publish updates to a listing after sale. For active subscribers Saturn classifies each update as code-only, schema-affecting, or breaking; non-breaking code updates apply automatically, schema and breaking updates are queued and surface a notification to subscribers in advance. Buyers who have completed a buyout receive their owned copy as of the buyout point and any subsequent updates are independent — the creator is under no obligation to push updates to past buyout customers, and Saturn does not propagate them.

Saturn's affiliate program (saturn.army) attributes a sale to a referrer when the buyer arrived through a tracked link. Attribution lasts six months from first click for the purposes of marketplace referrer compensation; after six months a sale no longer pays the referrer. Saturn pays referrer compensation out of the platform fee, not out of the creator's share — listing on the marketplace does not change the creator's split when a referrer is involved. Referrer attribution is single-level and the most recent valid click within the window wins.

Listings must comply with the rest of these terms, particularly the acceptable-use clause. We may unlist, suspend, or remove a listing at our discretion if it violates these terms, infringes a third party's rights, exposes Saturn or other users to risk, or is the subject of a credible legal complaint we have a reasonable basis to act on. Buyers retain access to their hosted instance or owned copy in line with the data-ownership rules above when a listing is unlisted by Saturn for reasons unrelated to the buyer's conduct.

You can close your account at any time from the settings page. Once closed, your data follows the deletion timeline described in the privacy policy.

We may suspend or terminate an account if we believe it has violated these terms — particularly the acceptable use clause — or if continued service would put other users, our infrastructure, or third parties at risk. For non-emergency cases we'll try to give notice and an opportunity to fix the issue first. For emergencies (active abuse, security incidents) we may act immediately.

Saturn is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties — express, implied, or statutory — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't promise the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will meet your specific needs. We will, however, work hard to make all of those things true.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or USD 100 if you've never paid us. We're not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption — even if we knew such damages were possible.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute that can't be worked out informally will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these terms.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a term once doesn't waive our right to enforce it later. You can't assign your rights under these terms to anyone else without our written permission; we may assign ours in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These terms (together with the privacy policy) are the whole agreement between you and us about the service.

Questions about these terms, or notices required by them, go to support@saturnos.app. We read everything sent to that address and aim to reply within two business days.
