Terms of Service

Your account

You need to be at least 13 to create an account. Keep your sign-in methods secure and tell us at support@picassoraynestudios.com if you think someone else used your account. You're responsible for what happens in your account.

Your content

You own the docs you write and the code they describe. When you back up a project, you let us store it to provide Codeology to you. When you publish a project, you let us show its docs, including their source excerpts, to anyone and include them in Codeology search, until you unpublish it or stop backing it up. You can do either at any time.

Acceptable use

• Don't back up or publish anything you don't have the right to share, such as code, secrets, or personal data that belong to someone else.
• Don't try to access other people's accounts or private projects, probe or disrupt the service, or get around its limits.
• Don't use Codeology to send spam or distribute malware, or for anything illegal.
• Don't post, sell, or advertise anything misleading, stolen, or harmful, and don't harass people in posts, comments, or applications.

Plans

The free plan includes writing, searching, and publishing docs, in-editor indicators, profiles, the feed, the market, the jobs board, and backup for 3 projects and 10 MB. Premium adds suggestions while you type, AI drafts, no ads, a lower finder's fee when you sell, and backup for 100 projects and 100 MB.

Free trial

New accounts get Premium free for 30 days. We don't ask for a card, and nothing is charged when the trial ends: your account moves to the free plan unless you choose Premium. If you subscribe while more than two days of the trial are left, your first charge happens when the trial ends. One trial per person.

Posts, comments, and jobs

• Posts and comments are public. You keep ownership of what you share and let us show it on Codeology, in the apps, and in search while it's up. You can delete your posts and comments at any time.
• Job posts must be for real openings you're authorized to fill, with honest pay and conditions. Posting jobs and applying are free.
• When you apply, the employer sees your note, your Codeology profile, and your email address. Hiring decisions and any employment relationship are between you and the employer; Codeology isn't part of them.
• Anyone can report a post, comment, listing, or job. We review reports and may remove content that breaks these terms.

The market

• Sellers must be in the United States and sell through their own Stripe account, which means agreeing to the Stripe Services Agreement. Each seller is the merchant of record for their sales: the buyer pays the seller, and the seller is responsible for refunds, disputes and chargebacks, Stripe's processing fees, and the taxes on their earnings.
• Finder's fee: for each sale, Codeology keeps a share of the price set by the seller's plan at the time of sale: 10% on the free plan, 7% on monthly Premium or during the trial, and 5% on yearly Premium, and never less than $1. Listings cost at least $3. Codeology keeps its fee when a sale is later refunded or charged back.
• What you sell: only code and projects you wrote or have the right to sell. Describe honestly what buyers get and the license they get it under. Unless the listing says otherwise, buyers may use and change what they buy in their own projects, including commercial ones, but may not resell or share it as-is.
• Buyers pay the seller in US dollars through Stripe Checkout and get the code or file right after the payment goes through. Codeology doesn't review listings before they go on sale.
• Refunds: all sales are final unless the seller chooses to refund. Sellers can refund a sale from Codeology within 30 days, or from their Stripe Dashboard at any time. We may refund a purchase from the seller's Stripe balance when a listing isn't delivered, is removed for breaking these terms, or is fraudulent. A purchase that is refunded, or reversed by the buyer's bank in a chargeback, is no longer available to the buyer.

Premium billing

• Premium costs $8 a month or $80 a year in US dollars, plus any tax that applies, charged in advance through Stripe on the Codeology website.
• In the Android app, Premium is sold through Google Play, and in the Windows app through the Microsoft Store, at the price the store shows you in your currency. The store charges, renews, cancels, and refunds those purchases under its own terms, and you manage them there. Premium works the same everywhere you sign in to Codeology, wherever you bought it.
• It renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from Plan and billing, or in the store you bought it from; Premium stays on until the end of the period you've paid for.
• We don't refund partial periods, except where the law requires it. If you think you were charged by mistake, email us within 60 days and we'll make it right; purchases made in an app are refunded by that store.
• If a renewal payment fails, Stripe or the store tries again over a few days. If it still fails, your account moves to the free plan: your docs stay readable, but backing up more than the free plan allows stops until you upgrade again.
• We'll email you at least 30 days before a price change, and it applies from your next renewal.

The apps

The Codeology apps for Windows and Android are licensed to you to use on devices you own or control, under these terms and the terms of the store you got them from. If the store's terms conflict with these terms about the app itself, the store's terms apply.

Optional AI drafts

AI drafts are off unless you turn them on. If you choose Claude, the code you ask about is sent to Anthropic under your own API key and their terms. If you choose a local Ollama model, nothing leaves your machine. Review drafts before saving them; they can be wrong.

Closing an account

You can close your account at any time; closing it stops Premium from renewing. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, and we'll tell you why unless the law prevents it.

Disclaimers

Codeology is provided as is. We work to keep it available and your data safe, but we can't promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. Keep your repositories, including their .codeology folders, in your own version control.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Picasso Rayne Studios LLC isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid for Codeology in the 12 months before it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Hall County, Georgia, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim there.

Changes

If these terms change in a way that matters, we'll tell you by email before the change takes effect. Continuing to use Codeology after that means you accept the new terms.
