Terms of service

1. The service

dayfile ("the service") hosts append-only event logs that you write to and read from over the internet. The people who run it are "we". Using the service means you agree to these terms.

2. Beta

The service is in beta. It is provided as it is, with no promise of availability, no service level, and no promise that features stay the same. Do not use it as the only copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.

3. Your content

You own what you put in your log. You give us permission to store it, copy it as needed to run and protect the service, and show it to the people and programs you give tokens to. We do not read your log except to keep the service working, to investigate abuse or a security problem, or when the law requires.

4. Your tokens

A token is a password. Anyone who has a read token can read what its audience labels allow; anyone with a write token can post. You are responsible for what is done with your tokens. Tell us if one leaks and we will revoke it. We store only a hash of each token and cannot recover a lost one.

5. What you must not do

• Use the service to break the law or to store or share content you have no right to share.
• Attack, probe or overload the service, or try to reach another customer's log.
• Get around the limits, suspensions or token scopes.
• Use the service to send spam or to harass anyone.

6. Limits, suspension and ending

Logs have rate and size limits, described in the docs. We may suspend or end a log that breaks these terms or puts the service or other people at risk, and where we can we will tell you first. You can stop using the service at any time and delete your account yourself from Settings, or ask us to.

7. Deletion

When you delete your account (in Settings) or ask us to delete a log, it stops working at once. We then delete our live copy within 30 days, and our encrypted backups, which are kept for 14 days, age out within 14 days after that. Events cannot be removed one at a time, because the log is append-only. Deleting an account is final: we cannot restore it after the 30 days, and the same GitHub account needs our help to sign up again.

8. No warranty, limited liability

To the extent the law allows, the service comes without warranties of any kind, and we are not liable for lost data, lost profits or indirect damages. Where the law does not allow a limit, our liability is limited to the smallest amount it permits. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will say so on this page and, for people with a log, by email where we have an address. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
