Terms of Service

Spacewave Cloud costs $8 per month and automatically renews until you cancel. Optional extra usage has a separate maximum selected at checkout. Cancel online in Billing to stop future renewals, or contact [email protected] if you cannot access your account. Section 4 explains charges and cancellation.

Section 14 provides for individual arbitration, subject to its exceptions and mandatory consumer rights. You may opt out within thirty days. Opting out also removes the arbitration provision's class-action restriction.

Aperture Robotics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Aperture", "we", or "us"), provides the hosted Spacewave service. These Terms govern that service. By accepting these Terms when creating an account or subscribing, you agree to them. If you act for an organization, you must have authority to bind it. A paid subscription and optional usage charges require the separate express consent described in Section 4.

You must be at least sixteen years old. If you are under eighteen, your parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf. Mandatory protections that apply where you live remain available, including rights that cannot be waived by contract.

Spacewave runs applications on your devices, supports communication and collaboration between authorized devices, and offers optional paid cloud persistence. Local functionality is free. Account, connection, and security services can use cloud infrastructure even without paid cloud storage.

Space content is encrypted on your devices before cloud storage or transport. Aperture does not hold the keys needed to read that content. Keep your credentials, recovery information, and independent copies secure. Local changes can reach connected peers before cloud backup completes. A pending backup is not yet recoverable from the cloud alone. Availability depends on your devices, connectivity, credentials, and the backup state shown by the service.

Spacewave is an early-stage service. Features can change and may have defects or interruptions. The notice, paid-period, refund, and liability provisions in these Terms also apply during beta; beta status does not create a separate liability exclusion or authorize a new price without the required consent or notice.

The client is open source. Each software component's published license governs your rights to use, inspect, modify, and distribute it. Termination of a hosted account does not revoke rights already granted by those licenses. These Terms grant no additional trademark rights.

Use the authentication methods offered in the application and keep your account and recovery information secure. Report suspected unauthorized access promptly to [email protected]. You are responsible for access you authorize and for taking reasonable steps to protect your credentials; this does not make you responsible for Aperture's own fault.

Provide a current email address for billing, verification, security, and service notices. Complete verification when requested. Verification and payment are distinct steps; a payment does not prove control of an email address.

Each billing account has its own subscription, included storage, and spending limit. Authorized users can attach resources to a billing account. Its holder pays for authorized usage attributed to it, including usage by collaborators on those resources. Funding a resource does not grant access to its decrypted content or authority to delete resources funded elsewhere.

The current offer is $8 USD per monthly subscription period. It includes 100 GiB (107,374,182,400 bytes) of resident cloud capacity. Capacity is measured by the data your cloud resources hold, not by how often you read or write it. A subscription period need not coincide with a calendar month.

Optional storage above the included 100 GiB costs $0.02 per GiB-month, measured hourly and charged proportionally for the time the extra storage is held. Extra storage can be off or limited to $10, $25, $50, or $100 per subscription period. Checkout initially selects $25 and lets you change it before subscribing. Your maximum is the $8 base price plus your selected limit, before applicable taxes. The maximum applies across devices and funded resources together. Charges already incurred remain payable; lowering a limit does not erase them. Reads and writes are not billed.

New uploads pause when they would exceed the included capacity while extra storage is off, or when extra storage would pass your selected limit. They resume when space is freed, the period renews, or you enable or raise the limit. The service applies rate limits that ordinary use does not reach; a client over a limit is asked to retry later. An account or organization can own at most 5,000 cloud resources, such as Spaces. The service preserves existing data at a limit, subject to the payment, retention, and lawful-enforcement provisions below. Local copies and peer work may remain usable while cloud publication is paused; their changes are not backed up until publication succeeds.

Before payment, checkout displays the offer, automatic monthly renewal, storage rate, selected limit, and cancellation method beside the Subscribe action. Selecting Subscribe gives express consent to those terms and, when enabled, extra storage charges up to the selected limit. We retain the accepted terms and consent and email a retainable acknowledgment. Subscriptions are billed in advance; incurred metered charges are billed in arrears and reconciled on later or final invoices. Invoice rounding follows the payment processor's currency precision.

Your subscription renews monthly under its accepted terms until you cancel. We send an annual service reminder. For a material change to prices, the storage rate, or included storage, we email at least thirty days before an affected renewal, stating the changed terms, date, and cancellation method. We also send a fee-change confirmation seven to thirty days before that renewal. If the required notices are late or unavailable, we defer the change to a later renewal and send updated dates. Your current paid period keeps its existing terms. A new offer does not raise your selected spending limit without your express consent.

Cancel online in Billing at any time to stop future renewals. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; paid access continues until then. You can withdraw a scheduled cancellation before it takes effect. Cancellation does not require account deletion. If you cannot authenticate, email [email protected] for help canceling. We may verify your identity without requiring you to regain online access first.

If payment fails or paid coverage ends, new paid activity that would create further cost pauses immediately. The affected cloud resources enter a thirty-day read-only recovery period measured from coverage loss, during which you can recover or export existing data or restore paid service. Existing debt remains payable. After that period, access ends and deletion is queued. An already scheduled account-deletion request has its separate deadline in Section 10. Resources paid for by another active billing account retain their own funding and access rules.

Ordinary end-of-period cancellation does not refund a partly used period, except where law requires a refund. Voluntary account deletion can end the associated subscription immediately. In that case, the final invoice reconciles unused prepaid service and incurred usage. A net credit is refunded to the original payment method, less a $0.30 fixed processing deduction where lawful; an outstanding balance remains payable. A refund request can require payment-provider processing and support reconciliation. This deduction and these restrictions do not reduce mandatory cancellation, withdrawal, refund, or other consumer rights.

Prices exclude applicable sales, use, value-added, and similar transaction taxes, which are shown or calculated as required. Contact [email protected] promptly about a billing error. A request made more than thirty days after a charge does not forfeit statutory dispute or payment-provider rights.

You own your content and the applications and materials you create. You grant Aperture a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to store, copy, cache, and transmit encrypted content only as needed to provide the storage, recovery, and sharing you request. We may pass that limited permission to infrastructure providers performing those tasks for us. It gives no permission to inspect plaintext, advertise with content, or train models on it.

The permission ends when our deletion process removes the content, except to the extent a legal obligation requires preservation. Recipients may keep copies you shared with them, and copies on devices remain under their holders' control. You must have the rights and permissions needed to store or share content and to authorize access by collaborators.

Do not use the hosted service for unlawful content, child sexual abuse material, infringement, malware distribution, spam, unauthorized access, or interference with other users. Do not bypass access controls or resource limits, flood synchronization endpoints, create accounts to evade limits, or use the service as an unrelated bulk hosting, proxy, or content-distribution service. These limits on hosted service use do not restrict lawful activity permitted by an open-source license.

We use account records, security reports, and operational metadata to investigate abuse. Encryption prevents us from inspecting Space plaintext. We may restrict a resource or account when reasonably necessary to address a material breach, a concrete security or availability threat, or a legal requirement. We consider the evidence and effect on other users, give reasons and a route to contact support where lawful, and limit restrictions to what the circumstances require. Protective limits, including rate limits, cannot silently replace the paid offer's included storage; ordinary material changes follow Section 4.

Cloudflare supplies cloud infrastructure, Stripe processes payments, and Resend delivers service email. Optional authentication providers handle sign-in methods you select. Their roles and the information they receive are described in our privacy and retention account. We remain responsible for our contractual obligations when using service providers.

If we process personal data in Space content on behalf of a business customer subject to applicable data-protection law, the Business Data Processing Addendum attached to these Terms applies. Aperture acts separately as controller for its account, billing, security, and legal operations. Required international-transfer arrangements must be established for the actual processing relationships before covered processing begins.

Our Privacy Policy explains account information, service metadata, recipients, and retention. Cancellation ends future billing; it does not by itself close an account or delete local data. The thirty-day recovery period for affected cloud resources begins when paid coverage ends, as described in Section 4.

Voluntary account deletion requires confirmation through the account's email address. Confirmation starts a twenty-four-hour read-only hold. You can undo deletion during the hold. Undoing deletion does not reverse an already completed subscription cancellation or automatically purchase service again. After the hold, account access is disabled and asynchronous cleanup removes the affected records and resources. This is not a promise that every physical copy is erased at the twenty-four-hour mark. Cleanup retries failures.

Deletion respects the funding and authority of separately funded resources and the independent rights of collaborators. It does not erase other people's copies or local device data. Restricted billing, consent, security, and legal records can remain for the purposes and periods stated in the Privacy Policy. Export important content before coverage or the deletion hold ends; Aperture cannot restore plaintext without your keys.

If Aperture ends a paid service for convenience, we give thirty days' notice, refund unused prepaid service, and provide thirty days of recovery from the effective termination date. A legal obligation or urgent security threat can require earlier restriction or removal. We preserve export access where lawful and reasonably safe and explain a restriction when permitted.

To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages arising from the service. Aperture's aggregate liability for claims arising from these Terms or the service is limited to the greater of $100 USD or the fees you paid Aperture for the service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. The same limit applies to free and beta use; there is no separate zero-dollar or ten-dollar cap.

Nothing excludes or limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence where it cannot lawfully be limited, death or personal injury caused by negligence where protected by law, or any other liability or remedy that applicable law does not permit the parties to exclude or limit. Mandatory consumer rights take precedence over this section, including rights relating to digital content, services, refunds, and foreseeable loss where applicable.

To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify Aperture for a third-party claim caused by your unlawful or infringing content or your material misuse of the hosted service in breach of Section 6. This covers reasonable defense costs and amounts finally awarded or agreed in a settlement you approve. It does not cover ordinary authorized use, Aperture's own breach, negligence, or misconduct, or amounts caused by another person's independent conduct.

Aperture must promptly notify you of the claim, reasonably cooperate, and let you control its defense with competent counsel. Aperture may participate at its own expense. No settlement may admit fault or impose a nonmonetary obligation on Aperture without its reasonable consent. Delayed notice reduces your obligation only to the extent it materially harms the defense. Mandatory consumer protections remain applicable.

Contact [email protected] with a description of a dispute. Each party will try in good faith to resolve it for thirty days after receipt. This process does not prevent an urgent protective application, a small-claims action, a regulator complaint, or filing needed to preserve a legal deadline.

Unless you opt out or applicable law requires otherwise, unresolved disputes are resolved by individual binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules and Consumer Due Process Protocol. Those rules govern fees, allocation of costs, location, and remote participation. Aperture pays the amounts those rules require a business to pay. An arbitrator may award relief available under applicable law. See AAA consumer information for the rules and filing instructions.

Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small claims court. You may report concerns to public agencies and seek relief that applicable law reserves to courts, including protected public injunctive relief. No compulsory confidentiality requirement prevents either party from discussing a dispute, seeking advice, or reporting it. If AAA declines administration because Aperture has not complied with its requirements, you may bring the dispute in a competent court.

For disputes validly subject to arbitration, both parties waive a court or jury trial and agree to individual proceedings to the extent permitted by law. This restriction applies only within this arbitration agreement. If you opt out, or the arbitration agreement is inapplicable or unenforceable, it creates no separate waiver of class, representative, or consolidated court proceedings.

You may opt out by emailing [email protected] within thirty days after first accepting these Terms. Include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect access to the service. A later update does not undo a valid opt-out. Mandatory local rights to decline arbitration also remain available.

We give at least thirty days' email notice before ordinary material changes to these Terms, identifying the changes and effective date. We may make a narrowly necessary urgent legal or security change sooner, with notice as soon as reasonably possible and any mandatory rights preserved. Subscription changes also follow Section 4. Where law requires new affirmative consent, we obtain it; continued use alone does not authorize a new paid subscription or higher spending limit. You can reject future terms by ending hosted service, subject to your existing payment obligations and refund rights.

Send legal notices to [email protected]. We send service notices to your account email; keep it current. Provider acceptance of an email is not proof that you read it. We retain notice evidence and use the deferred-change rule in Section 4 when required evidence is missing.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply unless that would defeat the agreement's essential purpose. A failure to enforce a provision is not a future waiver. Neither party may assign this agreement in a way that reduces mandatory rights. Aperture may assign it in a merger or transfer of the relevant business, with notice and the successor assuming its obligations.

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, applicable processing addendum, and accepted subscription terms form the agreement for the hosted service. Applicable open-source licenses remain separate. The parties are independent contractors. Provisions needed to resolve accrued payment, content ownership, valid retention, and disputes survive termination to the extent their purpose requires.

The customer identified by the subscribing business billing account is the controller, or an authorized processor for its controller. Aperture Robotics, LLC is the processor, or subprocessor respectively. The subject is provision of encrypted cloud persistence, transmission, recovery, and sharing. Processing lasts for the service term and the applicable return and deletion period. It includes storing, copying, retrieving, transmitting, and deleting encrypted content and associated technical metadata. The customer determines which personal data and data subjects its authorized users place in Spaces, which may include staff, customers, contacts, and other people described in its own records. The customer is responsible for lawful collection, instructions, notices, and access decisions.

The Terms, this addendum, and the customer's authorized configuration and operations are documented instructions. Aperture processes covered data only on those instructions, including for transfers, unless law requires otherwise. It will inform the customer of a required contrary legal obligation before processing unless legally prohibited. It will promptly tell the customer if an instruction appears to infringe applicable data-protection law and may pause that instruction while the parties resolve it. Aperture does not acquire permission to decrypt Space content, advertise with it, or train models on it.

The customer generally authorizes Cloudflare, Inc. to provide cloud compute, encrypted storage, databases, networking, and security infrastructure for the covered processing. Processing can occur across its operating locations. Resend supplies service email, and Stripe supplies payment processing, for Aperture's separate account operations; they do not receive Space plaintext from Aperture. If a customer instruction would involve them or another recipient in covered processor activity, Aperture must identify that role and obtain the authorization required by this section before using them in that role.

Aperture imposes written obligations on subprocessors that protect covered data to the standard required by this addendum and applicable law. Aperture remains responsible to the customer for their performance of those processing obligations. Aperture gives at least thirty days' written notice before adding or replacing a subprocessor. The customer can object during that period on reasonable data-protection grounds. The parties work on an available alternative; if they cannot resolve the objection, the customer may terminate affected processing before the change and receive a refund of unused prepaid service for it. A legally required urgent change receives as much notice and opportunity to resolve the concern as the circumstances permit.

Taking account of the nature of processing and information available, Aperture reasonably assists with data-subject requests, security obligations, breach assessment and notification, impact assessments, and consultation with authorities. It forwards a request relating to covered data to the customer and does not respond substantively except on instructions or as law requires.

Aperture notifies the customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal-data breach affecting covered data. It provides available information about the nature, affected data and people, likely effects, mitigation, and a contact for follow-up, and supplies material updates as information becomes available. Notification is not an admission of liability. Aperture cooperates in containment and remediation. The customer remains responsible for its legally required notices.

Aperture makes information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance available to the customer and allows and contributes to audits, including inspections by the customer or an independent auditor it appoints. The parties coordinate reasonable notice, confidentiality, security, and scope to protect other customers and avoid unnecessary disruption. Existing evidence can reduce duplicative work but does not extinguish the audit right or constrain a competent authority's powers. Urgent evidence of a breach or authority request permits an appropriately prompt audit.

Before a restricted international transfer, the relevant parties must establish and document the applicable transfer mechanism, participating entities, destinations, and any required supplementary measures. This addendum does not incorporate unidentified standard clauses or assert that a provider agreement completes that chain. Aperture will cooperate in executing the required applicable clauses or UK instrument and providing transfer information. Until the required mechanism exists, the affected restricted transfer is not authorized by this addendum.
