Terms of Service

Important notice

DRAFT: The service, including AI-generated content from Ossy, can contain mistakes or be out of date. You must independently verify licences, terms and any other information against the original sources before relying on it. Nothing in the service is legal advice.

1. The service and who runs it

SoloMulti (the "service") lets you search a catalog of open-source projects, chat with an AI assistant about them, and, on the Premium plan, export shortlists as Markdown or plain text. In this draft, the intended operator is the entity named below; this must be confirmed before launch.

DRAFT: The service operator is intended to be EduInvestment Holdings LLC, which the owner describes as a Delaware limited liability company (not independently checked against a company registry). The company’s legal address, as stated by the owner (not proof of registration and not stated to be an address for legal notices): 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, DE 19958, United States. Separate mailing address, not stated to be a registered office or an address for legal notices: 8 Hudson Avenue, Eastleigh Ridge, Edenvale, GP 1609, South Africa. Contact: support@solomulti.com.

2. No legal advice; no warranty

Subject to any mandatory rights you have under applicable law, the service is currently described as provided "as is"; any warranty exclusions need legal review before launch. License and project information is public open-source metadata that is collected automatically. It is provided for discovery only, as-is, and is not legal advice (see the Disclaimer page). You are responsible for checking a project and its license at the original source before you use it.

3. Accounts and sign-in

You need an account to use the catalog, the API and the chat. You can sign up or sign in with an email address and password (the address must be verified by a link we email to you), with an optional emailed sign-in link, or with your Google, GitHub or GitLab account. If a sign-in method gives us an email address that you have verified with that provider and it matches an existing account, our sign-in system may sign you in to that same SoloMulti account. Using different sign-in methods with the same verified email address can therefore reach the same account.

Keep your password and your access to your email and provider accounts secure. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you may be responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend accounts that abuse the service. Signed-in users can use the Account page to download the data made available there and to delete their account from active account data; see the Data deletion and export page for what exists, what may remain outside active account data, and the manual request route. After repeated failed password attempts the account (5 failures) or the network address (20 failures) is locked for 15 minutes.

Sessions last 24 hours, or 30 days (renewed while you use the site) if you tick "Remember me for 30 days". See the Privacy Policy for the cookies involved.

4. Acceptable use

Do not overload, scrape at high volume, attack, or reverse-engineer the service (except where applicable law allows it), and do not use it to break the law or infringe others’ rights. Rate limits and daily chat limits apply. The full acceptable-use note is on the Acceptable use page.

Chat: do not enter personal data about other people, confidential information, or anything you are not allowed to share. DRAFT: What you type, and any project note included with your request, is sent to our AI provider (see the Privacy Policy). The AI provider’s governing agreement, retention terms and any acceptable-use rules for chat content sent to it are not yet confirmed: [AI PROVIDER GOVERNING AGREEMENT AND ITS RETENTION TERMS - TO BE CONFIRMED].

5. Free and Premium plans

The Free plan has limits (currently up to 20 results per page and 10 chat messages per day, counted in UTC) and does not include export. Premium currently has up to 100 results per page, no plan-level daily chat message limit (a fair-use cap and per-minute rate limits still apply) and includes export. Search and chat also have daily request and result limits per account and per network, which reset at 00:00 UTC. These limits may change.

DRAFT: Saved lists and compare: the Free plan currently allows up to 2 saved lists of up to 10 projects each and compares up to 2 projects; Premium currently allows up to 20 lists of up to 50 projects each and compares up to 4. These limits are provisional and may change. Existing lists are not deleted when your plan changes.

DRAFT: Premium is a recurring subscription billed through Stripe. Price and interval: [PREMIUM PRICE, CURRENCY AND BILLING INTERVAL - TO BE ANNOUNCED]. No free trial is offered; the Free plan is the way to try the service. You can cancel at any time in Account, then Manage billing (the Stripe billing portal). The Stripe billing portal is intended to be configured so that cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period (this setting has not yet been verified): Premium stays active until then, and your account then returns to the Free plan. There are no partial-period or pro-rata refunds for time already used, and a 7-day money-back guarantee applies to your first payment only. Details are on the Refunds and cancellation page, remain a draft for a lawyer to review, and do not limit any statutory right you have.

6. Exports and catalog content

Exports contain catalog information about the projects you selected and a disclaimer line. Each project stays under its own license and its authors’ rights; an export does not grant you any license to a project. DRAFT: A saved-list export also contains the install links and commands built from the public registry data of each project, a license checklist and compliance notes; these are discovery aids only, are not legal advice and do not grant any license. Records hosted on GitLab are not intended to be displayed publicly at this time.

7. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Any jurisdiction-specific limits, mandatory consumer rights, exclusions that are not allowed, and the final liability cap still need legal review: [LIMITATION OF LIABILITY - TO BE DRAFTED BY A LAWYER].

The service is provided for discovery only and as-is, subject to any mandatory rights you have under applicable law. We do not promise that the catalog, license summaries, exports, AI-generated answers, API, MCP server, or other service content will be accurate, complete, secure, available without interruption, or fit for your particular purpose.

Any exclusion or limitation for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or business interruption, still needs legal review: [LIMITATION OF LIABILITY - TO BE DRAFTED BY A LAWYER].

Catalog metadata, license information, AI-generated answers, exports, and other service output are for discovery only. You remain responsible for checking projects and licenses at the original source and getting qualified advice where needed.

The service may involve third-party services and platforms, including payment processors, sign-in providers, AI providers, hosting providers, email providers, source platforms, listed projects, and project maintainers. Those third parties may have their own terms and policies. Any exclusion or limitation of responsibility for third-party services still needs legal review: [LIMITATION OF LIABILITY - TO BE DRAFTED BY A LAWYER].

Any total aggregate liability cap, the legal theories it applies to, and any mandatory carve-outs must be drafted or reviewed by a lawyer: [LIMITATION OF LIABILITY - TO BE DRAFTED BY A LAWYER].

8. Changes and governing law

DRAFT: We may need to update these terms; the final change-notice, user-consent and effective-date wording still needs legal review before launch. If we make material changes, we intend to announce them on the site or provide notice as required by applicable law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA. Disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, except where mandatory consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim where you live. DRAFT: the governing-law and courts wording is the owner’s decision and still needs a lawyer’s confirmation.

9. Saved lists, project note and email alerts

DRAFT: You may keep named lists of catalog projects on your account, subject to the plan limits in section 5. A list stores the projects you add and a snapshot of the catalog information at the time; the snapshot may become out of date and is for discovery only. You can delete a list or remove a project from a list on the Saved lists page, and deleting your account deletes your lists and their items from the active account data. We may change the limits and the features of lists.

DRAFT: You may choose to sync an optional project note to your account instead of keeping it only in your browser; if you switch sync off, the active server copy is deleted from active account data. Do not put personal or confidential information in it. If you use Ask Ossy, the note is sent with each chat request to the AI provider, as described in the Privacy Policy. What we store and for how long is also described there.

DRAFT: Email alerts are optional, off by default, and not available until we switch the feature on. If you opt in, we may email a digest about projects in your own saved lists to the verified email address of your account, and we intend to provide an unsubscribe link. Alerts depend on automatically collected public data, may be late, incomplete or wrong, are not a monitoring or warranty service and are not legal advice. You are responsible for checking a project and its license at the original source.
