Terms of Service

1. Who can use First Light

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and able to form a binding contract. If you use First Light on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization.

2. Your account

You sign in with a passkey or a Google account. Keep your sign-in methods secure: you are responsible for what happens under your account. If you believe your account has been compromised, tell us right away at [CONTACT EMAIL].

3. The Service

First Light builds working applications from your descriptions. You describe what you want; the Service generates an app you can preview, revise, and publish. The Service is AI-assisted: generated apps can contain mistakes, and you are responsible for reviewing what your app says, collects, and does before you share it with anyone.

4. Your content

You keep every right you already hold in the material you provide — prompts, text, media, data, and the ideas behind them (“Your Content”). So that we can run the Service, you grant us a limited license to host, store, process, transmit, and display Your Content, and to share it with the service providers described in our Privacy Policy, solely to provide the Service.

To the extent we hold any rights in the app output generated for you, we assign them to you once you have paid the fees due for it.

5. Published apps

Publishing puts your app on the public internet, at a First Light address or a domain you connect. A published app is yours: you are its operator, responsible for its content, its compliance with the law, and its treatment of the people who use it. If your app collects personal information, you are responsible for providing its privacy notice and honoring it.

6. Domains

When you buy or connect a domain through First Light, the registration is handled by our domain partner, [DOMAIN REGISTRAR], and is also subject to its terms. Domain purchases are generally non-refundable once registered, and renewals bill at the then-current price.

7. Fees and billing

Parts of the Service are paid. Prices are shown before you pay. Usage-based charges bill to the card on file, and where you enable automatic top-off we charge in the increments you configure. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments are non-refundable. We may change prices with at least [30] days’ notice, effective from your next billing cycle. Taxes are added where required.

8. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service, and every app you publish with it, must follow our Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of these Terms.

9. Our rights in the Service

The Service itself — its software, design, and everything that makes it run — belongs to First Light and its licensors. These Terms do not give you any right to it beyond using it as offered.

10. Third-party services

The Service depends on third parties: sign-in through Google, payments through Stripe, hosting and data infrastructure through Google (Firebase), AI model providers, and our domain partner. Their availability affects ours, and where you deal with them directly, their own terms apply.

11. Suspension and termination

You can stop using First Light at any time and delete your account from your account page. We may suspend or terminate your access, or unpublish an app, where these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy are violated, where the law requires it, or where an app poses a risk to the Service or to others. Where practical, we will notify you and give you a chance to fix the problem first. After account deletion, we remove or de-identify your data as described in the Privacy Policy.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law permits, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service, or an app it builds, will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular use.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law permits: we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill; and our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or US $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

14. Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us arising out of Your Content, an app you publish, or your breach of these Terms, you will defend and indemnify us against it.

15. Changes to the Service and these Terms

First Light evolves, and we may change or discontinue features. We may also update these Terms; when a change is material, we will give you reasonable advance notice by email or in the product. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW JURISDICTION], and disputes will be resolved in the courts of [VENUE], except where your local law gives you rights that apply regardless of this clause.
