These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and Brodin Dev, a company registered in Norway under organisation number 973 861 778 ("Brodin Dev", "we", "us", or "our").

These Terms govern your access to and use of all software, features, content, and services made available by Brodin Dev through its web application and associated platforms (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service in any way, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

2.1 Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher, to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

We do not knowingly permit individuals below the minimum age to create accounts or use the Service. If we become aware that a User does not meet the eligibility requirements, we reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate their account without prior notice.

2.2 Global Availability

The Service is available to users worldwide. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that your use of the Service complies with all applicable local laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. Brodin Dev makes no representation that the Service is appropriate or legally available in all locations.

2.3 Capacity to Contract

By accepting these Terms, you represent that you have the full legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you are using the Service on behalf of a legal entity (such as a company or organisation), you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. Accounts & Authentication

3.1 Account Requirement

An account is required to access and use the Service. You may register and authenticate using one of the following methods:

Email and password
Google (OAuth)
GitHub (OAuth)

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep this information up to date at all times.

3.2 Account Security

You are solely responsible for:

Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and any access tokens associated with your account;
All activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorised by you;
Immediately notifying us at contact@brodin.dev if you suspect any unauthorised access to, or use of, your account.

Brodin Dev will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account credentials. We reserve the right to require you to reset your credentials if we have reason to believe your account has been compromised.

3.3 One Account Per User

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, each individual user is permitted to maintain a single active account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, access free tiers fraudulently, or for any other unauthorised purpose is prohibited.

3.4 Account Accuracy

You agree not to impersonate any other person, use a false identity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity when creating or maintaining your account.

4. Payments, Subscriptions & Billing

4.1 Merchant of Record

Payment processing for paid plans, subscriptions, and other paid features of the Service is handled by Polar.sh, which acts as the Merchant of Record for those transactions. By making a purchase or subscribing to a paid tier, you acknowledge that your payment transaction is processed by Polar.sh and subject to their applicable terms and payment processing policies.

Brodin Dev is not a payment processor and is not responsible for the technical execution of payment transactions or the security of payment data submitted to Polar.sh.

4.2 Subscription Management

You may view or manage your subscriptions through the billing interface, checkout flow, or account controls we make available. It is your responsibility to manage your subscription status, including upgrades, downgrades, or cancellations, using the tools or instructions provided for the relevant plan.

4.3 Billing Cycles & Renewals

Subscription plans may be billed on a monthly or annual cycle, as specified at the time of purchase. Unless stated otherwise at checkout, subscriptions will automatically renew for a subsequent period of the same duration unless cancelled before the end of the current billing period.

4.4 Refunds

Refund eligibility and processing will be governed by the refund terms applicable at the time of the transaction, including Polar.sh's refund policy where relevant. Brodin Dev may make reasonable efforts to assist with refund requests but does not independently process or guarantee refunds.

4.5 Price Changes

Brodin Dev reserves the right to change subscription pricing at any time. Where a price increase affects your current subscription plan, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice (no less than 30 days) prior to the change taking effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

4.6 Taxes

Prices displayed may or may not include applicable taxes (such as VAT), as stated at the time of purchase. You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or levies imposed by your jurisdiction in connection with your use of the Service, except to the extent collected and remitted by the Merchant of Record at checkout.
