1. Agreement
By accessing Release, validating a licence key, connecting Vercel or publishing a project, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you act for a business or another person, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms for them.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement. You may not use Release where applicable law prohibits it.
3. What Release provides
Release is a browser-based publishing and project-management utility for licensed Marcel and Philippe projects. It validates the matching GridFrame licence, inspects supported project files, stages deployable files temporarily, and uses a Vercel account that you control to create or update a deployment.
Release is not a general-purpose hosting service. It currently accepts the licensed Next.js project, a Drizzle configuration, committed SQL migrations and the required project settings described in the GridFrame guide.
4. GridFrame products and licences
Your Marcel or Philippe licence is separate from your Vercel, database, payment, fulfilment, email and media-service accounts. Standard and Pro / Agency rights are determined by the licence terms attached to the product you purchased. You may not share, resell, circumvent or misuse a licence key.
5. Purchases and Polar
GridFrame product checkout, receipts, licence benefits and customer-portal access may be provided by Polar as merchant of record. Prices, taxes, refund eligibility and payment processing are governed by the checkout terms shown at purchase and any mandatory consumer rights that apply to you.
6. Your Vercel account
You connect your own Vercel account and authorize Release to list projects, create or update projects, set environment variables, deploy files, and manage domains when you request those actions. You remain responsible for your Vercel plan, usage, billing, team permissions, projects and domain configuration.
7. Project settings and credentials
You are responsible for providing accurate project settings and protecting database URLs, API keys, webhook secrets, passwords and access tokens. Release may generate selected secrets when they are blank, but you must securely retain credentials—especially the generated administrator password—and rotate any credential that may have been exposed.
8. Your projects and content
You keep ownership of your project files, content, domains and customer data. You confirm that you have the rights required to upload and deploy them. You are responsible for the legality, accuracy, security, accessibility and operation of every website or application you publish.
9. Acceptable use
You must not use Release to distribute malware, infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights, violate law, access another person's account, interfere with the service, probe security controls, evade licence restrictions, or publish content that you do not have the right to use.
10. Third-party services
Release interoperates with services such as Polar, Vercel and Cloudflare. Marcel and Philippe may also depend on Neon, Cloudinary, Stripe, Printful or Resend. Those services are governed by their own terms, availability and pricing. GridFrame does not control their systems and is not responsible for third-party outages or policy changes.
11. Deployment responsibility
Release performs compatibility checks, but it cannot guarantee that a project will build, migrate, deploy or operate without error. Project authors remain responsible for dependencies, committed migrations, build scripts, environment variables, database compatibility, third-party configuration and post-deployment testing.
12. Availability and changes
We may maintain, improve, suspend or modify Release and its supported workflow. We aim to communicate material changes, but uninterrupted or error-free availability is not guaranteed.
13. Disclaimer
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Release and its documentation are provided on an “as available” basis without implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.
14. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, GridFrame is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost revenue, lost data, third-party service failure, or costs arising from your project configuration or published website. Any aggregate liability relating to a paid GridFrame product will not exceed the amount you paid for that product during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
15. Suspension and termination
We may restrict access where a licence is invalid, expired, revoked or misused, or where use creates legal, security or operational risk. You may stop using Release at any time and can remove the Vercel connection from your Release account.
