Terms of Service

Last updated: December 14, 2024

The Deal

We built Lyonite to solve annoying problems. You need tools, we built tools. Here's the agreement:

  • You: Use our tools responsibly and legally. Don't process content you don't have rights to.
  • Us: Keep the tools running, fix bugs, don't sell your data.
  • Reality check: Software has bugs. Servers go down. We try hard, but we're human.
  • If things go wrong: We're liable for what you paid (if anything). That's it.
  • Refunds: 7-day money-back guarantee. See our Refund Policy.

Our Approach to Legal Stuff

Most Terms of Service are written by lawyers for lawyers. They're intentionally vague and one-sided. We tried to make ours clear and fair.

The core principle: Use our tools responsibly. Don't process content you don't have rights to. We'll keep the tools running and not sell your data.

Last thing: By using Lyonite, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use our tools.
