Terms of Service

Version 1.2 · Effective: 02 November 2026

Version 1.2 revises security and abuse-prevention terms and simplifies descriptions of the Service. It narrows the AI-model restriction to training and fine-tuning and removes the requirement to opt in to every other AI use. Other uses remain subject to disclosed purposes, data protections and applicable consent requirements. Read the Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement for the data involved and provider terms. Existing customers transition on the effective date above after 14 days' notice. New customers accept this version at signup.

The referral-program terms introduced in Version 1.1 remain in force for customers who choose to participate. This version does not change those terms. Related data and cookie use are described in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using display.dev (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you are accepting on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms — in which case "you" refers to that entity.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including account holders ("Publishers"), organization members, and individuals who access artifacts as authenticated viewers ("Viewers").

2. Description of Service

display.dev lets you publish, share and manage artifacts, control who can access them, and collaborate through an organization. Available features, supported formats and usage limits are described in our documentation and pricing page.

The Service is provided as a software-as-a-service product. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service with reasonable notice.

3. Accounts and Organizations

3.1 Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account using a valid email address. You are responsible for providing accurate information and keeping it up to date.

3.2 Account security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and API keys. You must notify us immediately at legal@display.dev if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorised access to your account that results from your failure to keep your credentials secure.

3.3 Organizations

An organization is associated with an email domain or company. You are responsible for managing organization membership, including inviting and removing members. Each organization member is bound by these Terms.

3.4 Age requirement

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you confirm you meet this requirement.

4. Acceptable Use

Your use of the Service is subject to the Acceptable Use Policy, the limits for your plan, and the restrictions below.

4.1 Prohibited content

You must not publish, transmit, or distribute:

Phishing or credential-harvesting content — pages designed to deceive viewers into disclosing credentials or personal information
Malware, viruses, or malicious code of any kind
Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) — incidents are reported to NCMEC and referred to law enforcement; evidence is preserved before deletion
Sexually explicit or NSFW content — content that would trigger corporate-proxy categorisation
Copyright-infringing content — we operate a DMCA safe-harbour programme; notices to report@display.dev
Defamatory, fraudulent, or unlawful content

4.2 Prohibited data categories

Regardless of content type, you must not upload artifacts containing:

Protected Health Information (PHI) — display.dev does not offer a Business Associate Agreement; any PHI upload is unauthorised
Payment card data (PCI) — card numbers, magstripe tracks, or CVV at any tier
GDPR Article 9 special-category data — health, biometric, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, political opinions, sexual orientation, trade union membership, or criminal records — without explicit written agreement
Children's data — data relating to individuals under 16 (EU/GDPR) or under 13 (US/COPPA)
GLBA non-public personal financial information — without a separate written agreement

4.3 Prohibited use patterns

You must not:

Use artifact URLs as a general-purpose CDN for content unrelated to the gated publishing use case
Serve scraped third-party content without substantive transformation
Create multiple accounts or organizations to circumvent per-organization tier caps
Scrape display.dev via API or viewer endpoints in an automated or systematic way
Take any action that materially degrades the Service for other customers

4.4 Usage limits

We apply usage and rate limits to protect the Service. Current limits are published in our documentation, pricing page and Acceptable Use Policy. Operational limits may change as needed to maintain security and availability.

4.5 Enforcement

We may restrict requests, remove content, or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy. We may act without prior notice when needed to protect the Service, other users or third parties. We handle reports of illegal content and copyright infringement as required by law.

5. Customer Content

5.1 Ownership

You retain full ownership of all artifacts and other content you upload or publish through the Service ("Customer Content"). These Terms do not grant us any ownership rights in your Customer Content.

5.2 Licence to us

By uploading Customer Content, you grant Displaydev OÜ a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, transmit, and display your Customer Content solely to the extent necessary to provide the Service to you. This licence terminates when you delete the content or close your account, subject to the data retention periods in our Privacy Policy.

5.3 Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for your Customer Content, including ensuring that:

You have all necessary rights to upload and share it
It does not violate any applicable law or these Terms
You have appropriate authority to share it with any Viewers you invite

5.4 Pre-claim artifacts

Artifacts in a "pre-claim" state (published but not yet associated with an organization) are accessible via a link before the organization claims them. You understand and accept that pre-claim artifacts may be visible to unintended viewers during this window. Do not publish sensitive content as pre-claim artifacts.

5.5 Security and abuse review

We have no obligation to monitor all Customer Content. We may use automated tools and human review to detect and investigate phishing, credential theft, malware, and other abuse of the Service, and may remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

Our planned public-artifact review, described in the Privacy Policy, excludes private and organization-restricted artifacts. We may use service providers for this purpose, subject to the data protections described in our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement. Findings support human review and do not guarantee that an artifact is safe or that all abuse will be detected.

5.6 No AI training use

We do not use Customer Content to train or fine-tune AI or machine-learning models, or permit our service providers to do so. We may use models for the security review described above, including checking its accuracy and effectiveness.

Our use of automated tools, including AI, is subject to the purposes and data protections described in our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, our Data Processing Agreement. We obtain consent where required by applicable law.

6. Viewers

When you invite individuals to view your artifacts as Viewers, you represent that:

You have the right to share the relevant content with them
Inviting them to authenticate via email one-time code is an appropriate and consented-to method of contact
You will not use Viewer email addresses for any purpose other than granting access to your artifacts through the Service

Viewers' personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, our Data Processing Agreement.

7. Subscriptions, Billing, and Payment

7.1 Plans

The Service is offered on a subscription basis. Available plans, features, and pricing are described at display.dev/pricing and may be updated from time to time.

7.2 Payment

Payments are processed by Stripe. By providing payment information, you authorise us to charge the applicable fees to your payment method on a recurring basis. All fees are in the currency displayed at checkout and are exclusive of applicable taxes.

7.3 Taxes

You are responsible for all applicable taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities in connection with your use of the Service. We will add VAT where required by law.

7.4 Renewals and cancellation

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — no partial refunds are issued for unused time.

7.5 Free plans and trials

We may offer free plans or trial periods at our discretion. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue free plans at any time with 14 days' notice to affected users.

7.6 Non-payment

If payment fails, we will notify you and may suspend access to the Service until payment is resolved. Persistent non-payment may result in account termination and deletion of Customer Content, with reasonable prior notice.

7.7 Price changes

We may change subscription pricing with at least 14 days' notice. Price changes take effect at the next renewal after the notice period.

7.8 Referral program

You participate in the referral program when you share a display.dev referral link or deliberately open an eligible referral link. Participation is optional and does not change the Service for customers who do not participate.

A referral qualifies only when the recipient follows an eligible link, creates a genuinely new organization within 30 days, and that organization publishes its first owned HTML or Markdown artifact. The person creating the new organization must not already belong to the inviting organization.

After qualification, the new organization receives one €49 reward and the inviting organization may receive the same, subject to its lifetime limit of 12 referral rewards. Rewards belong to organizations, not individual members. A reward applies to one eligible Pro invoice. It waits while an organization uses Free or Solo, never expires, and cannot be transferred, redeemed for cash, used for add-ons, or used to shorten or extend a trial. Only one reward may be used per eligible invoice.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Our IP

The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by Displaydev OÜ and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in the Service other than the limited right to use it in accordance with these Terms.

8.2 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use that Feedback for any purpose without obligation to you.

9. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information of the other party that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the context. This obligation does not apply to information that is: (a) publicly known through no breach of these Terms; (b) independently developed without use of confidential information; (c) received from a third party without restriction; or (d) required to be disclosed by law.

10. Privacy and Data Processing

Your use of the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy. Where you use the Service to process personal data of your own users or employees on your behalf, our Data Processing Agreement applies and forms part of these Terms.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DISPLAYDEV OÜ EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that: (a) the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free; (b) defects will be corrected; (c) the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components; or (d) the results obtained from using the Service will be accurate or reliable.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DISPLAYDEV OÜ BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) €100.

These limitations apply regardless of the basis of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Displaydev OÜ and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your Customer Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.

14. Term and Termination

14.1 Term

These Terms apply from the date you first access the Service and continue until your account is terminated.

14.2 Termination by you

You may close your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting legal@display.dev. Closing your account does not entitle you to a refund of any prepaid fees.

14.3 Termination by us

We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if: (a) you materially breach these Terms; (b) we are required to do so by law; (c) we discontinue the Service; or (d) continued provision would expose us to legal or regulatory risk.

For material breaches capable of remedy, we will provide 14 days' written notice and an opportunity to remedy the breach before termination.

14.4 Effect of termination

On termination: (a) your right to access the Service ceases immediately; (b) we will delete your Customer Content within 30 days, subject to our legal retention obligations; (c) you may request a data export within 30 days of termination, after which we cannot guarantee recovery.

14.5 Survival

Sections 5.1 (ownership), 8.2 (feedback), 9 (confidentiality), 11 (disclaimers), 12 (limitation of liability), 13 (indemnification), and 15 (general provisions) survive termination.

15. General Provisions

15.1 Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Estonian courts, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction require otherwise.

15.2 Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will provide at least 14 days' notice by email or prominent in-Service notice before the change takes effect. Terms for a new optional program may instead take effect when you deliberately participate, provided they do not change the Service for customers who do not participate and the notice remains available for 14 days. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of other updated Terms. If you do not agree to those changes, you may close your account before they take effect.
