DRAFTsite terms pending counsel review — not yet operative

PLACEHOLDER — NOT OPERATIVE. Swiss counsel is preparing the terms of use for this website. Until counsel issues them, this page states honestly which terms already exist elsewhere, which are decided but not yet legally drafted, and which are open.

Terms of Use

Placeholder status as of 2026-08-23. Everything described as decided below is decided; its final legal expression is what counsel will issue.

1. Where the real terms live

Most of what a "Terms" page is expected to answer is governed by dedicated documents that already exist on this site:

  • Software licence terms — the End User Licence Agreement (published as a working draft pending counsel review) governs every Rendlio licence: the per-entity grant, tiers, the perpetual release-date rule, renewals, and the binding no-telemetry promise.
  • Purchases — paid licences are sold by Paddle as merchant of record. The purchase transaction — ordering, payment, invoicing, taxes, and refund processing — is a contract between you and Paddle under Paddle's buyer terms. Rendlio Association is Paddle's supplier and grants the licence directly.
  • Refunds — the refund policy: 30-day money-back on paid licences, no reasons required.
  • Source licence — the engine's public source is licensed under BUSL-1.1; see the licensing overview.
  • Founding offer — the validation-phase offer is governed by the Founding Offer Terms.

2. Site terms — decided substance, drafting pending

The terms governing the use of rendlio.com itself are with counsel. Their intended substance follows from how the site is built, and is already decided:

  • No accounts. The site has no login, no user profiles, and no stored user content beyond what the playground processes transiently.
  • Playground uploads are transient. Files submitted to the playground are processed for conversion only and deleted within one hour. They are never used for anything else. See the privacy page.
  • Site content is informational. Documentation describes the specified behaviour of the Rendlio engine, which is pre-alpha; nothing on this site is a warranty beyond what the EULA states, and nothing here modifies the EULA or Paddle's buyer terms.
  • Acceptable use. Do not attempt to disrupt the site or its playground, probe it for vulnerabilities outside a responsible disclosure to security@rendlio.com, or submit files you have no right to process.

3. Operator

This website is operated by the Rendlio Association (Verein Rendlio), Aarau, Switzerland — see the association page. Governing law and forum for the site terms will be stated in the counsel-issued version; the EULA draft provides for Swiss law and the courts at the association's seat.
