Terms of Service

This is a working terms summary for the Markland public beta. Formal terms of service will be published before general availability. Plain English first; legalese later.

Beta-stage software

Markland is in active beta operated by a single developer. The service is provided as-is, with no warranty of any kind — express or implied — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or continuity of service. Please don’t put anything on Markland that you can’t afford to lose access to or that you wouldn’t be willing to re-host elsewhere on a few hours’ notice.

What you can publish

You retain ownership of every document you upload. By publishing through Markland you grant the service the limited right to store, transmit, and render your content as part of operating the platform. You confirm that you have the right to publish whatever you upload — don’t use Markland to host content you don’t own or have permission to share.

What is not allowed

Don’t use Markland to host illegal content, content that infringes third-party rights, malware or phishing payloads, or anything intended to harass or harm a specific person. We reserve the right to remove documents, suspend tokens, or close accounts that violate these guidelines. Removals are logged in the append-only audit trail described on /security.

Termination & data

You can stop using Markland at any time and request account deletion (see /privacy). The service may be discontinued, paused, or migrated during the beta with reasonable notice; in that case, an export path for your documents will be provided before any data is removed.

Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator’s total liability for any claim arising out of your use of Markland during the beta is limited to the amount you paid for the service — which, since the beta is free, is zero.
