Legal
Effective April 1, 2026. These Terms govern access to simulacrum.dev, related APIs we operate, and commercial relationships for Simulacrum licenses.
Version date: 2026-04-01. The Software License Agreement and Privacy Policy are incorporated by reference where applicable.
By accessing or using our website, APIs, documentation, onboarding flows, or by purchasing or using a Simulacrum license, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity. If you do not agree, do not use our services or software.
If mandatory consumer protection law in your jurisdiction gives you rights that cannot be waived, those rights remain unaffected. Where these Terms conflict with mandatory law, mandatory law prevails to that extent only.
You must be at least the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction (and at least 16 years old where we do not knowingly serve younger users) and able to form a binding contract. You may not use the services if you are barred under applicable law or if we have terminated your access for cause.
Simulacrum is a developer tool, including a command-line interface, templates, documentation, and optional web-hosted flows (such as onboarding pages and license validation endpoints). Features, availability, and limits may vary by tier and may change over time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Purchases may be associated with license keys or identifiers issued by our merchant of record or licensing systems. You are responsible for safeguarding license keys and for all activity that occurs under keys associated with your purchase, except where compromise resulted from our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
You must notify us promptly through the contact channels on your purchase receipt if you believe a license key has been compromised or misused.
Digital products are sold by our designated merchant of record (for example Lemon Squeezy), which handles checkout, payment collection, applicable taxes, invoicing, and certain customer communications, subject to its terms and policies. By placing an order, you also agree to the checkout terms presented at purchase, including refund and chargeback rules enforced by that provider.
All fees are stated in the currency shown at checkout unless otherwise specified. You authorize our payment partners to charge your selected payment method for all fees and taxes due. Failed payments may result in suspension of license validation or other enforcement steps described in our license terms.
You are responsible for any sales, use, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes associated with your purchase, other than taxes based on our net income. Tax treatment may be determined automatically at checkout based on the information you provide.
Refund eligibility, timing, and process are governed by the policies of the merchant of record and the disclosures at checkout. Chargebacks and payment disputes may result in immediate revocation or suspension of license rights until resolved. We may refuse future sales where abuse is suspected.
Use of the Simulacrum software is governed by our Software License Agreement, not merely by these Terms. These Terms govern the website, services surrounding the product, and the commercial relationship; the License governs intellectual property rights in the software and templates.
You agree not to:
We may investigate suspected violations and cooperate with law enforcement where permitted.
The website, branding, documentation, template materials, CLI binaries, and other materials we provide (excluding your generated output as defined in the License) are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in the License or these Terms, no rights are granted to you.
Feedback you voluntarily provide may be used by us without restriction or obligation to you, except where prohibited by law.
The services and generated projects may incorporate or link to third-party software and services under their own terms and licenses. Your use of those components remains subject to the applicable third-party terms.
We may offer preview, beta, or experimental features. Such features are provided as-is, may change or be withdrawn without notice, and may not meet production reliability standards.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS IS AND AS AVAILABLE BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
Simulacrum is a development tool. You are solely responsible for your deployments, security practices, regulatory compliance, and the suitability of any generated code for production use.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES IN ANY TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THAT PERIOD (EXCLUDING AMOUNTS COLLECTED SOLELY AS PASS-THROUGH TAXES OR FEES FOR THIRD PARTIES), OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD 100), IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID US FEES IN THAT PERIOD.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of or related to your use of the services, your generated applications and data, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of third-party rights, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
We may suspend or terminate access to the website or APIs, or cease license validation, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, the License, or applicable law, or to protect security or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive termination.
We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms on this page and update the effective date. For existing customers, material changes may require additional notice where required by law. Your continued use after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms where permitted by law. If you do not agree, you must stop using the services and, where applicable, cease use of the software in line with the License.
Subject to mandatory consumer protection laws that cannot be waived, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would require application of another jurisdiction laws. Subject to mandatory law, the state and federal courts located in Delaware will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us using the information on your purchase receipt and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to protect intellectual property or confidential information without first completing informal resolution.
You may not use or export the services or software except as authorized by United States law and the laws of your jurisdiction. You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or entity subject to comprehensive embargoes or sanctions, and that you are not on any restricted party list.
If you are a U.S. government end user, the services and software are commercial computer software and commercial computer software documentation as those terms are used in applicable U.S. regulations, and are licensed only with the rights granted to all other end users under these Terms and the License.
You consent to receive communications from us electronically, including transactional emails and notices posted on the website or sent to the email address associated with your purchase. You are responsible for keeping your contact information current where our systems allow updates.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, subject to notice where required by law.
We are not liable for delay or failure to perform resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials, or failures of third-party hosting or payment systems.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
These Terms, together with the License, Privacy Policy, and checkout terms presented at purchase, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede prior understandings on that subject.
For questions about these Terms, contact us using the support or contact details on your purchase receipt or through official channels we publish for Simulacrum.
