Terms of Use

Effective date: June 3, 2026  ·  Last updated: June 3, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you, or the entity you represent ("you", "Customer"), and dotDocType ("dotDocType", "we", "us", or "our"), and govern your access to and use of the website dotdoctype.io (the "Website"), the dotDocType platform, and any related software, APIs, documentation, and services (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, joining the waitlist, or clicking to accept, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Acceptance & eligibility

You may use the Services only if you can form a binding contract with us and are not barred from doing so under applicable law. If you accept these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization. The Services are intended for business and professional use and are not directed to consumers seeking personal, family, or household use, nor to children.

2. Definitions

• "Services" — the Website, the dotDocType platform, generated applications, APIs, SDKs, documentation, and related offerings.
• "Specification" — a .doctype.json file or other metadata you author to define applications using the Services.
• "Customer Data" — data, content, and personal data you or your end users submit to, or generate within, the Services.
• "Generated Output" — code, configuration, schemas, and applications produced by the Services from your Specification.
• "Order" — a subscription, plan, marketplace purchase, or written order under which you obtain the Services.

3. Accounts

To access certain features you must create an account or authenticate through a supported identity provider (for example, Microsoft Entra ID). You are responsible for the accuracy of your registration information, for safeguarding your credentials, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at contact@dotdoctype.io of any unauthorized use. We may suspend accounts that pose a security, legal, or payment risk.

4. License & the Services

Subject to these Terms and your payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services during your subscription term for your internal business purposes, and to use the Generated Output to build, operate, and distribute your own applications. Your rights and limits (such as seats, tenants, or usage) are defined by your Order or plan. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

5. Use restrictions

You agree not to, and not to permit others to:

• copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Services, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• resell, sublicense, rent, or provide the Services to third parties except as expressly permitted by your Order;
• circumvent usage limits, security, or access controls, or probe or test vulnerabilities without authorization;
• use the Services to build a competing product or to benchmark for a competitor;
• upload malware, infringe others' rights, or use the Services unlawfully or in violation of these Terms;
• use the Services to generate content or systems that are illegal, harmful, deceptive, or that violate the rights or privacy of others.

6. Customer Data

As between the parties, you own and retain all rights to your Customer Data and your Specifications. You grant us a worldwide, limited license to host, process, and transmit Customer Data solely to provide and support the Services. You are responsible for the lawfulness of Customer Data, for obtaining necessary consents, and for backing up your data. Our processing of personal data within Customer Data is governed by our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) under which we act as your processor.

7. AI features

The Services include AI-assisted features that generate code, suggestions, workflows, and other outputs. AI outputs are probabilistic and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for a given purpose. You are responsible for reviewing, testing, and validating any Generated Output and AI output before relying on it, and for ensuring it meets your legal, security, and quality requirements. We do not warrant that AI outputs are error-free or fit for any particular purpose, and you must not use AI features to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without appropriate human review.

8. Intellectual property

We and our licensors own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, including the underlying framework, software, and documentation, and all related intellectual property. These Terms grant you no rights to our trademarks or branding. As between the parties, you own the Generated Output you create from your Specifications, subject to our continuing ownership of the Services themselves. If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without restriction or obligation to you.

9. Third parties & marketplaces

The Services may interoperate with, or be purchased through, third-party platforms — including Microsoft Marketplace, cloud providers, and identity and payment services. Your use of those third-party services is governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them. Where you acquire the Services through a marketplace or reseller, the billing, refund, and certain license terms of that channel govern your transaction and, in case of conflict regarding the purchase, take precedence over these Terms for that transaction.

10. Fees, billing & taxes

You agree to pay all fees stated in your Order or plan. Unless your Order or the applicable marketplace terms state otherwise, fees are non-refundable, are exclusive of taxes, and you are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and withholdings (excluding taxes on our net income). Where Microsoft or another reseller bills you, payment, invoicing, and refunds are handled under that channel's terms and refund policy. Late or failed payments may result in suspension of the Services.

11. Trials, beta & waitlist

We may offer free trials, early-access, waitlist, or beta features. These are provided "as is", may change or be withdrawn at any time, and may be subject to additional terms. Pre-release features are not guaranteed to become generally available and may be less reliable than released features. We are not liable for any harm arising from your use of trial or beta features.

12. Term & termination

These Terms apply while you access or use the Services and for any subscription term in your Order. You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, fail to pay, create legal or security risk, or as required by law, and we will use reasonable efforts to notify you. On termination, your license ends and you must stop using the Services; you may export Customer Data for a limited period where the Services provide that capability. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including IP, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnities, and governing law) survive termination.

13. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available", 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 or any Generated Output will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that they will meet your requirements. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you, and you may have rights that these Terms cannot limit.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to the Services or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms will not exceed the amounts you paid to us for the Services in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the liability (or, where you obtained the Services for free, US$100). Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, such as for fraud, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

15. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless dotDocType and its affiliates from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your Customer Data, your applications and Generated Output, your use of the Services in violation of these Terms or law, or your infringement of third-party rights. We will provide prompt notice of the claim and reasonable cooperation, and you may not settle any claim in a way that imposes obligations on us without our consent.

16. Confidentiality

Each party may access non-public information of the other ("Confidential Information"). The receiving party will protect it with reasonable care, use it only to perform under these Terms, and disclose it only to those who need to know and are bound by similar obligations. Confidential Information does not include information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, independently developed, or rightfully received from a third party. A party may disclose Confidential Information where required by law, giving notice where lawful.

17. Export controls & sanctions

You must comply with all applicable export, re-export, and economic-sanctions laws of the jurisdictions in which we and you operate, including those of the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Services in or for the benefit of, any embargoed or restricted territory or party, and that you will not use the Services for any prohibited end use.

18. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of República Federativa do Brasil, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Curitiba - PR, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect its intellectual property or Confidential Information. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country of residence remain unaffected where they apply to you.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When changes are material, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide notice. Changes take effect when posted (or on the stated effective date), and your continued use of the Services after that constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services.

20. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with your Order, any DPA, and our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us regarding the Services and supersede prior agreements on that subject. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control (force majeure). There are no third-party beneficiaries except as expressly stated.
