Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: April 10, 2025
Introduction
Welcome to StartAppLab. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of our command-line interface tool (the "Software") operated by StartAppLab ("we," "us," or "our").
By using or accessing our Software, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, you may not access or use the Software.
StartAppLab is a software tool that lets users launch a complete mobile app, web app, landing site, and backend API with one command. It's designed for developers and entrepreneurs who want to skip the boilerplate and start building their actual product faster.
This Agreement takes effect on the date on which you first use the StartAppLab Software.
License
StartAppLab grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Software upon your purchase of a license. This license allows you to generate unlimited projects and modify the code in any way.
The StartAppLab Software License facilitates the acquisition of software through a single purchase, granting users unrestricted access to its comprehensive functionalities. Tailored for developers, entrepreneurs, and businesses, StartAppLab empowers users to create complete application ecosystems with minimal effort.
The Starter plan includes all boilerplate templates and lifetime updates to those templates. The Premium plan adds additional tools and community access. Lifetime updates apply to the boilerplate only and do not guarantee specific feature support in the future.
"Lifetime updates" refers to updates made available during the commercially reasonable lifespan of the Software, at StartAppLab's sole discretion. While we intend to provide updates for an extended period, we do not guarantee perpetual updates if:
- The underlying technologies become obsolete or are fundamentally changed by their providers
- Continuing to update the Software becomes commercially impractical
- The Software reaches end-of-life status, which will be announced with reasonable notice
- Force majeure events or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control prevent updates
In such cases, the Software will continue to function as-is, and you retain full rights to use and modify the code you've already received, but no further updates will be provided. We commit to providing at least six (6) months notice before discontinuing any significant updates or support, when feasible.
This license entails a straightforward arrangement, exempting users from recurring fees or subscriptions. However, we retain the right to terminate the license without conditions or prerequisites in cases of Terms violation or misuse of the Software.
You may not redistribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or provide the Software to any third party. Each license is valid for use by a single individual or entity.
Premium Account Access
For Premium plan users, StartAppLab provides access to additional development tools through an authentication system. By creating an account and accessing these premium features, you agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information when creating your account
- Maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials
- Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or other security breaches
- Use the premium development tools only in accordance with these Terms
StartAppLab reserves the right to suspend or terminate premium account access if we detect shared usage beyond the licensed individual or entity, or for violations of these Terms. Account access and premium tools are provided for the duration specified in your plan and may require internet connectivity to authenticate your subscription.
Ownership
You own all projects and code generated using the Software. You have complete freedom to modify, extend, and commercialize any projects created using StartAppLab.
The Software itself, including all intellectual property rights, remains the property of StartAppLab. The Software is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of applicable jurisdictions.
Payments and Refunds
StartAppLab is available as a one-time purchase per license. We do not offer recurring subscriptions. Payment provides immediate access to the Software according to the plan purchased.
Due to the nature of digital products, the StartAppLab Software cannot be refunded or exchanged once access to the codebase and tooling has been granted. By purchasing a license, you acknowledge that you have reviewed the Software's features and capabilities and find them acceptable for your needs.
As we continue to improve StartAppLab and expand our offerings, the price may increase. Any promotional discounts are provided to help customers secure the current price without being surprised by future increases.
You are responsible for maintaining your own infrastructure and accounts on third-party services like Vercel, Cloudflare, Supabase, Firebase, Sentry, and PostHog. Any costs associated with these services are separate from your purchase of StartAppLab.
Privacy and Data
StartAppLab does not collect or store any user data. The Software runs locally on your system and does not transmit your code or project information to our servers.
Analytics and crash monitoring tools are included as developer tools in the generated projects but must be configured by you. Any data collected through these tools is subject to the privacy policies of those respective services.
