Overview

What this means in practice

Explore the systems, responsibilities, and workflows behind this part of Sklash.

Platform and host

Sklash provides creation, hosting, publishing, Commerce, AI, and related infrastructure. User-created content remains the responsibility of the account holder or responsible merchant.

User ownership

Users retain ownership rights they already hold. Sklash receives only the operational license reasonably needed to host, process, secure, back up, and deliver submitted content.

Enforceable safety rules

Sklash may quarantine, restrict, unpublish, preserve, remove, suspend, or terminate when necessary to enforce policy, protect the service, or satisfy legal obligations.

Open-beta conditions

The platform is unfinished, may change, and may intentionally reset beta data. No displayed future subscription automatically begins without affirmative activation.

1. Agreement and eligibility

Use of Sklash is conditioned on these Terms and the policies incorporated into them.

You may use Sklash only if you can lawfully enter into and comply with this agreement. You must provide accurate account information and use supported authentication methods as required by the platform.

You are responsible for activity performed through your account and for keeping your authentication methods reasonably secure. You may not impersonate another person, fraudulently obtain an account, or evade an account restriction by creating or controlling replacement accounts.

2. Sklash as a platform and hosting provider

Sklash supplies tools and infrastructure; it does not become the author or merchant merely by hosting user material.

Sklash lets users create, store, manage, publish, host, sell, collaborate on, and process digital material. Availability through Sklash does not mean Sklash created, approved, endorsed, sponsored, or independently verified user content.

The account holder, Site owner, merchant, or other responsible user remains responsible for content, products, claims, permissions, customer obligations, and public actions performed through that user’s account, subject to applicable law.

3. User Content and operational licence

You keep your rights; Sklash gets the limited rights needed to run the service.

“User Content” includes text, images, files, designs, code, products, media, data, generated material, and other information submitted, stored, created, transmitted, or published through Sklash. You retain ownership to the extent you hold ownership rights.

You grant Sklash a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, cache, transmit, display, resize, transform, scan, back up, restore, and otherwise technically process User Content only as reasonably needed to provide, secure, moderate, maintain, improve, or recover the Services and to comply with lawful obligations. This licence does not transfer ownership to Sklash.

4. Your content responsibility

You must have the rights and authority required for what you upload, publish, or sell.

  • Do not submit material you are not lawfully authorized to use, publish, distribute, or sell.
  • Do not use Sklash to infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights.
  • Review AI-generated material before relying on, publishing, or commercially using it.
  • Maintain permissions and records appropriate to customer information, products, brand assets, domains, and regulated activities you control.
  • You remain responsible even when Sklash provides templates, “cookie cutters,” automated tools, integrations, AI assistance, or hosting infrastructure.
5. Prohibited use

The Acceptable Use Policy is part of these Terms.

You may not use Sklash for unlawful, abusive, exploitative, deceptive, malicious, infringing, privacy-invasive, or security-threatening activity. The Acceptable Use Policy provides more detailed examples and enforcement rules.

6. Safety, scanning, and enforcement

Sklash may use automated and manual systems to protect users, infrastructure, providers, and the public.

Safety systems may analyze files, metadata, account activity, publishing activity, provider responses, reports, network/security information, and other relevant signals for malware detection, prohibited-content screening, fraud prevention, account integrity, copyright handling, and policy enforcement. Automated systems may make mistakes.

Sklash may warn, strike, quarantine, restrict uploads, disable publishing, suspend Sites or Commerce, preserve evidence, suspend accounts, or permanently terminate access. A strike system does not prevent immediate action for sufficiently serious conduct.

7. Hosting and service limits

Free and paid service tiers may have different quotas, capabilities, and acceptable resource use.

Sklash may enforce storage, bandwidth, Site, Page, upload, file-type, domain, Commerce, AI, compute, or other technical limits. You may not intentionally use Sklash primarily as unauthorized remote file storage, hotlink infrastructure, malware distribution, abusive automation, or a way to bypass plan limits.

Custom domains, DNS tools, hosted subdomains, and related hosting capabilities remain subject to service entitlement, configuration, provider availability, and applicable policies.

8. Commerce

Merchant tools do not make Sklash the seller of a user’s products.

A merchant using Sklash is responsible for product legality, descriptions, pricing, taxes, refunds, warranties, consumer obligations, fulfillment choices, and customer communications unless Sklash expressly states otherwise for a specific transaction.

Payment processors and fulfillment providers are separate services. Customer payment evidence, Sklash order records, and supplier/fulfillment charges are distinct events and may be subject to separate provider terms.

9. Third-party services and AI

Connected providers have their own services and limitations.

Sklash may integrate with authentication, hosting, domain, payment, fulfillment, AI, monitoring, advertising, analytics, or other third-party providers. Sklash is not responsible for the independent availability, policies, or acts of those providers.

AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, unsuitable, or similar to other material. You are responsible for reviewing consequential output before use or publication.

10. Beta service and data loss

Sklash open beta is pre-release software.

Features, interfaces, limits, integrations, and data structures may change. Sklash may intentionally wipe or recreate the beta database. Accounts, Workspaces, Sites, pages, uploads, settings, AI history, generated content, and Commerce test records may be permanently deleted and may not be recoverable. Keep independent copies of important material.

Displayed future pricing does not itself create a paid subscription. Subscription billing must be affirmatively activated under the applicable paid-service terms before charges begin.

11. Suspension and termination

Sklash may restrict access when reasonably necessary to enforce or protect the service.

  • Violations of these Terms or incorporated policies.
  • Illegal activity, serious safety concerns, fraud, account compromise, or security threats.
  • Repeated infringement, attempts to evade enforcement, or material abuse of service resources.
  • Non-payment after paid services are activated under applicable terms.
  • Legal requirements or material risks to Sklash, users, providers, or third parties.
12. Availability, warranties, and liability

The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Sklash does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or permanently available service, recovery of deleted data, or suitability for every purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights, warranties, remedies, or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Sklash is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive losses arising from use of the Services, including loss of profits, opportunities, goodwill, or data. Any enforceable monetary limitation must remain subject to mandatory law and any service-specific terms then in effect.

13. Indemnity

Users may be responsible for third-party claims arising from their own content or conduct.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Sklash operator from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and reasonable expenses arising from User Content you submit, products or services you sell, your violation of another person’s rights, your violation of law, or your material breach of these Terms.

14. Legal requests, policies, and changes

Policies may evolve with the platform and applicable law.

Sklash may preserve or disclose information when required by applicable law or valid legal process and may preserve relevant evidence for legitimate security, fraud, copyright, abuse, or legal purposes.

Material changes to this legal-policy bundle may require renewed acceptance. The effective policy version is recorded with accepted user, time, IP/network information, user agent, and acceptance context where available.

These Terms incorporate the Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy, Content & Hosting Policy, Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy, Enforcement & Appeals Policy, AI notice, Cookie notice, Open Beta Data Notice, Commerce terms when applicable, and any service-specific terms presented to you.

Questions

Clear answers before the next step

These answers describe the current pre-release service and may evolve as Sklash approaches production.

Does Sklash own my website or uploads?

No. You keep the ownership rights you already hold. Sklash receives a limited operational licence needed to host, process, secure, moderate, back up, and deliver the service.

Does the three-strike model guarantee three warnings?

No. Strikes are one enforcement tool. Serious illegal, exploitative, fraudulent, or security-threatening conduct may justify immediate restriction or termination.

Are these lawyer-certified terms?

These are Sklash’s operative beta terms. They should still receive jurisdiction-specific legal review before final commercial launch, especially as paid services and cross-border use expand.
