Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("Customer", "you") and LitePush ("LitePush", "we", "us") and govern your use of the LitePush Web Push notification service available at litepush.dev (the "Service"). Please also read our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

1. Acceptance

By creating an account, accessing the dashboard, or calling the API you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

LitePush provides hosted Web Push notification infrastructure: an HTTP API, a browser SDK, a service-worker template, and a management dashboard. We rely on third-party push gateways (FCM, Apple Push, Mozilla autopush) chosen by the end user's browser to deliver notifications. We may add, change, or remove features over time; we will avoid breaking changes without prior notice where reasonably possible.

3. Eligibility & accounts

• You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. If you are a minor under your local law, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.
• You must provide a valid email address and keep it current so we can reach you about account, billing, and incident matters.
• You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials, API keys, and VAPID keys. Activity under your account is your responsibility.
• You must not share access to a single account with multiple unrelated parties; obtain separate accounts instead.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Send notifications without the recipient's freely-given, informed consent, including any communication that would violate applicable anti-spam laws (e.g. GDPR, ePrivacy, CAN-SPAM)
• Send unlawful, infringing, harassing, hateful, threatening, deceptive, fraudulent, or sexually explicit content
• Distribute malware, phishing links, or any payload designed to compromise a recipient
• Attempt to bypass the rate limits, plan quotas, security controls, or access controls of the Service, including by creating multiple accounts to evade limits
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise extract the non-public source code of the Service
• Scrape, copy, or build a competing service from the Service's interface or data
• Use the Service for any safety-of-life, medical, military, or other high-stakes use case where push delivery failure could cause real-world harm

We may, at our sole discretion, investigate suspected abuse, suspend offending accounts, and cooperate with law enforcement.

5. API keys & SDK

We issue you a project API key (lpk_live_xxxx) once per project. Treat it as a secret. We store only its SHA-256 hash and cannot recover the plaintext if you lose it — rotate from the project settings page. We grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable licence to use the LitePush SDK and service-worker template solely to integrate the Service with your application. This licence ends when your account is terminated or these Terms expire.

6. Customer content

You retain all rights to the notifications, content, project metadata, and end-user identifiers you transmit through the Service ("Customer Content"). You grant LitePush a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to process Customer Content solely to operate the Service for you. You are responsible for the legality of Customer Content and for obtaining the consents required to process it. End-user subscriber data is governed by the Data Processing Addendum.

7. Plans, billing & refunds

• Current pricing is listed at litepush.dev/#pricing.
• Paid plans are billed in advance through Stripe, monthly or annually, and renew automatically until cancelled.
• Plan changes take effect immediately; Stripe pro-rates the difference on the next invoice.
• You may cancel at any time from your dashboard's billing page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep paid features until then.
• All fees are non-refundable except where required by law or where we cancel your account for reasons not attributable to your breach.
• We may change pricing on at least 30 days' written notice to the email on file. Continued use after the change constitutes acceptance.
• You are responsible for any taxes, withholdings, duties, or similar charges applicable to your purchase, except for taxes on our net income.

8. Plan limits & quotas

Each plan has account-wide limits on subscribers, monthly push deliveries, projects, and subscriber groups as listed on the pricing page. Once a quota is reached, the relevant operation returns a 403 error until you upgrade or the monthly counter resets at the start of the next calendar month (UTC). We do not silently overage-bill.

9. Service availability & modifications

We aim for high availability but do not currently offer a formal Service Level Agreement. We may perform maintenance, deploy changes, or modify or discontinue features at any time. For changes that materially reduce functionality on paid plans, we will give reasonable advance notice where practicable.

10. Suspension & termination

• You may terminate your account at any time by deleting it from the Account page; deletion cascades immediately to projects, subscribers, broadcasts, and events.
• We may suspend or terminate your account for material breach of these Terms, non-payment of fees, abuse, illegal activity, or to protect the Service, our other customers, or third parties.
• Where practicable we will give notice and an opportunity to cure before termination, except for breaches involving illegal activity, abuse, or risk to the Service.
• On termination, your right to use the Service ends, unpaid fees become immediately due, and we will delete your data per the schedule in the DPA.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation. We do not guarantee delivery of any specific notification — push gateways may queue, drop, or rate-limit messages outside our control. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all such warranties.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LitePush will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, or goodwill, arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, whether in contract, tort, or any other theory, and even if advised of the possibility of such damages. LitePush's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms is capped at the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LitePush and its personnel from any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Service, (b) Customer Content you transmit through the Service, (c) your breach of these Terms or the DPA, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.

14. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform any obligation (other than payment) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including failures of third-party push gateways, internet outages, infrastructure failures, government actions, or natural disasters.

15. Governing law & dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Hong Kong, where the Service is operated, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong for any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect its intellectual property rights.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes we will give at least 30 days' notice to the email on file and update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a change, you may terminate your account before the change takes effect.

17. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the DPA constitute the entire agreement between you and LitePush regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect; the unenforceable provision is replaced with one that achieves the same intent to the maximum extent permitted by law.
• No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets.
• No agency. No partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship is created by these Terms.
• Notices. We will send notices to the email on file. You may send notices to support@litepush.dev.
