Terms of Service

1. The service

OnTap provides access to small software Tools, discovery features, and related information. The current catalog is operated as a curated MVP. Accounts, creator self-publishing, payments, and payouts are not currently offered.

2. Eligibility

OnTap is a general-audience utility service and is not directed to children under 13. You may not use the service if applicable law prohibits you from doing so. A final minimum age and any jurisdiction-specific requirements require founder/legal confirmation.

3. Tool results

Tools provide estimates, transformations, and general information. They are not a substitute for professional financial, tax, legal, medical, safety, or other specialist advice. You are responsible for checking important inputs, assumptions, and outputs before relying on them.

4. Acceptable use

You must follow the Acceptable Use Policy. You may not misuse the service, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with availability, submit unlawful material, or use a Tool to harm others.

5. Intellectual property

OnTap’s platform design, branding, and first-party content are owned by the operator or its licensors. Tool creators will retain ownership of their submitted code and content under separate Creator Terms; that controlled pilot is not yet open.

6. Feedback and Tool requests

You may submit suggestions without transferring ownership of pre-existing intellectual property. You grant OnTap permission to use non-confidential ideas and demand signals to improve the service or build related Tools. Do not submit secrets or confidential information.

7. Availability and changes

OnTap may change, suspend, remove, or correct Tools and content. The service is provided on an early-product basis and may contain errors or interruptions.

8. Disclaimers and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties not expressly stated here. Appropriate warranty disclaimers, liability limits, exclusions, and consumer-law carve-outs require qualified legal review before these Terms are treated as final.

9. Suspension and termination

OnTap may restrict access needed to protect users, the platform, third parties, or legal compliance. When accounts are introduced, account termination and appeal mechanics will be added before launch.

10. Governing law

The operator’s legal identity, notice address, governing law, venue, and dispute process are founder decisions that remain unresolved and require legal review.

11. Changes to these Terms

Material changes will be dated and posted here. Continued use after an effective change may constitute acceptance where permitted by law.
