Website and Service Terms

These Website and Service Terms govern use of the Before Signing website, download pages, checkout, account/license recovery, and paid subscription service. They are separate from the EULA, which governs the downloaded macOS app. Last updated: [effective date].

Who we are and acceptance

Before Signing is operated by an individual developer based in China. Paddle acts as merchant of record for purchases. References to we, us, and our mean the Before Signing operator.

By using the website, downloading the app, starting checkout, recovering a license, or maintaining a subscription, you agree to these Terms. If you use Before Signing for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

What these Terms cover

These Terms cover website access, purchase flow, subscription administration, license recovery, support interactions, and service-related rules.

Use of the downloaded macOS desktop app is also governed by the EULA. If there is a conflict about app licensing, the EULA controls for the software license and these Terms control the website, subscription, and service relationship.

Trial, plans, and subscriptions

The desktop app includes a local 3-day free trial. The trial does not require registration or a credit card and is separate from any paid subscription or refund request.

Paid subscription options are $10 per month, $25 per 3 months, or $95 per year. Prices are shown before checkout and may be subject to taxes collected by Paddle.

Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. To avoid renewal, cancel through the Paddle customer portal before the next billing date shown by Paddle.

Paddle as merchant of record

Paddle acts as merchant of record for purchases. Paddle handles payment processing, applicable taxes, invoices, receipts, subscription management, cancellations, chargebacks, and refund processing.

Your checkout may also be governed by Paddle's buyer terms and refund policy. We may receive limited subscription and licensing information from Paddle, as described in the Privacy Policy.

License delivery and account model

Before Signing does not use website account passwords in v1. Licensing is based on your checkout email, Paddle subscription status, and a signed license key emailed through Resend.

A license is for one person, is not transferable, and remains valid only while the related subscription is active, subject to the EULA and any grace period implemented by the app.

Acceptable use

You must not interfere with the website or licensing service, bypass or abuse rate limits, attempt unauthorized access, probe security systems without permission, or use license lookup and refresh endpoints except for legitimate license management.

You must not resell, sublicense, rent, lease, provide Before Signing as a hosted service, share license keys outside your permitted use, or use the service in a way that violates law or third-party rights.

Changes

We may change the website, app availability, supported platforms, prices, and these Terms from time to time. Material subscription price changes will be handled through Paddle or another appropriate notice path where required.

The Last updated date shows the current version. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms, except where applicable law requires a different process.

Australian Consumer Law and mandatory rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, statutory warranty, or other right that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable mandatory law.

If these Terms conflict with a non-excludable right, that right prevails to the extent of the conflict. All limitations and disclaimers apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Disclaimers and liability limits

Before Signing is a software tool, not a law firm. The website, subscriptions, license services, and app-related services are provided with reasonable care but without any guarantee of legal accuracy, completeness, uninterrupted availability, or suitability for a particular contract outcome.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, lost profit, lost data, business interruption, or loss-of-opportunity damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising from or relating to these Terms is limited to the amount you paid for the relevant subscription period giving rise to the claim.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws in force in New South Wales, Australia, and applicable Commonwealth laws of Australia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Where the law permits, the courts of New South Wales, Australia have non-exclusive jurisdiction. Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us using the support contact published on this website so we can try to resolve the issue in good faith.
