Terms of use

The free MVP

If you describe your business to us, we will build an MVP from it and email you a link. It is free and there is no obligation on either side.

Two things worth being straight about:

• It is a starting point, not a finished product. It is built from a short description, so it will reflect what you told us and not the things you did not mention.
• It is a demonstration, not a production system. It is not backed by an uptime commitment, it is not backed up, and it should not be used to run anything that matters until it is properly launched.

We may decline to build one, for example if a request is abusive, unlawful, automated, or plainly not a real business. We would rather say that here than quietly ignore people.

Who owns what

This is the question people ask first, so it goes near the top.

You own your business

Your brand, your content, your data, and the model that describes how your business works. All of it is exportable, and it leaves with you.

We own the platform

Vitrine, Forma, and the runtime they generate from. Your subscription is a licence to use them, not a transfer of them.

You own what we deliver for you

The output of a services engagement (your migrated data, the configuration built around your operation, documentation, and any assessment we write) is yours. Improvements we make to the platform itself along the way stay part of the platform.

The practical consequence: keeping your application live means staying with us, because it runs on our runtime. But nothing about your business is locked somewhere you cannot reach it. If you leave, you take your records, your files, and the logic behind your workflows, and a Vitrine site exports as plain static files you can host anywhere.

Consulting engagements

Consulting and professional services are scoped and agreed in writing before any work starts. That agreement governs the engagement, covering what is in scope, what it costs, when it lands, and what happens if either side wants out, and it takes precedence over this page.

A scoping conversation is free and puts no obligation on either side. Nothing said in one is a commitment to do the work, or to a price, until there is a scope both parties have signed.

Consulting is separate from a product subscription. Nothing on this page obliges you to buy services in order to keep a system we host for you running.

Using this site

Use it normally and we have no complaints. Do not attempt to break it, scrape it at volume, submit other people's personal information through it, or use it to send anything unlawful.

Ending it

Paid engagements run month to month after launch. Either side can end it with thirty days' notice, and the service stays up until the end of the period you have paid for. Your export comes with you.

What we do not promise

The website and the free MVP are provided as they are. We do not warrant that either is free of faults or fit for a particular purpose, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from them. Commitments about a paid service, including uptime, live in the agreement you sign, not here.

Changes

We may update these terms. If a change is material we will update the date at the top rather than editing quietly.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and Octryon Technologies Inc. is incorporated there.
