Boarderless · Terms of Service

Welcome to Boarderless.app! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Boarderless.app (the "Service" or "App"), operated by Cracken Released ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

1. User Liberty, Responsibility, & Technical Boundaries

Boarderless is a creative tool built to preserve user agency. We do not design the Service to monitor, pre-approve, or police lawful user expression, and we do not take custody of your canvas data just to make moderation easier. You remain responsible for what you create, import, export, and sync. Our restrictions are limited to technical and legal boundaries needed to protect users, Google Drive integration, payment/account systems, and the Service itself.

We may block or reject files, formats, payloads, automation, or requests that are illegal, malicious, executable/active in unsafe ways, malformed, abusive to infrastructure, or likely to compromise a user's account, our account, our website, or third-party services. These controls are not a license for us to surveil your private work; they are narrow safety rails so the app can remain powerful without becoming reckless.

2. Eligibility & Authentication

Boarderless.app normally uses Google OAuth authentication. Personal, Pro, contributor Pro elevation, and any future cloud-backed features require a Google Account. If Google sign-in is unavailable because the OAuth client is not configured or your browser cannot reach Google Identity Services, the App may offer a local Free Mode fallback for local-only canvas work. Local Free Mode is limited to Free-tier capabilities and browser-local storage. We do not support password-based registration or other third-party login providers. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google Account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account on the Service.

3. Subscription Tiers & Billing

Free Tier: Available at no charge to authenticated users and local Free Mode fallback sessions. Canvas data is stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB. Tier limits apply (object count, undo history depth, and board count as defined on our pricing page).
Personal Tier: Paid monthly subscription ($3.00/mo) processed via Stripe. Canvas data is stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB.
Pro Tier: Paid monthly subscription ($5.00/mo) processed via Stripe. Includes cloud synchronization directly to your own Google Drive. The Company does not host your canvas data on its servers.
No Refunds: All payments processed via Stripe are non-refundable. You may cancel your subscription at any time to prevent future billing.
Payment Failure & Grace Period: If your payment fails, we will notify you and provide a three (3) day grace period to update your billing information. If payment is not secured within this timeframe, we reserve the right to downgrade your account to the Free tier, which will immediately enforce Free tier limits (e.g., maximum 5 canvas objects, 3 undo slots, 1 local board).

4. Storage, Data Loss, & Local Persistence

For Free and Personal tiers, all canvas data, shapes, text, and images are stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB. We do not store this data on our servers.

⚠️ Data Loss Warning: Clearing your browser history, clearing cookies, deleting local browser storage, or using private browsing modes may permanently delete your local canvas data. You are solely responsible for manually exporting your designs to prevent data loss. We are not responsible for any data recovery or data loss resulting from browser cache clearing or local storage deletion.

For Pro-tier users, you authorize the App to sync files directly to your own Google Drive space using narrow, app-specific OAuth scopes. The Company does not host your synced designs on its servers.

Boarderless Drive features are for Boarderless-generated board/export files. You may not use Boarderless to relay arbitrary executable content, malware, credential harvesters, or unsafe active documents into Google Drive.

5. Acceptable Use & Intellectual Property

You agree not to use the Service to:

Upload, draw, or share any content that is illegal, defamatory, obscene, or violates intellectual property rights.
Upload, import, sync, or export malware, credential-stealing content, exploit payloads, or active files designed to compromise a device, account, Google Drive, Boarderless, or any third-party service.
Reverse engineer, decompile, copy, or scrape the source code or layout files of Boarderless.app.
Deploy automated scrapers, bots, or crawlers to access the Service or extract canvas data.
Attempt to bypass or compromise our server-side tier validation controls.

6. Limitation of Liability & "AS-IS" Warranty

The Service is provided on an "AS-IS" and "AS-AVAILABLE" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cracken Released disclaims all warranties, express or implied.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, OR PROFITS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $20.00, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

7. Governing Law & Forum

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of West Virginia, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Jefferson County, West Virginia.
