Website Terms of Use

This website is operated by Byte-Lab (“Byte-Lab,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the maker of Temper. By accessing or using temper.codes (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Site. If you use the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

These Terms apply to the Site: its pages, text, documentation, diagrams, benchmark write-ups, and other content. They do not license or govern the Temper software.

The Temper software is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1 (see the LICENSE file distributed with the software), which permits internal production use subject to a Competing-Use restriction and converts to the Apache License 2.0 on the applicable Change Date. Paid tiers (Pro and Enterprise) are additionally governed by a separate commercial agreement — for self-serve purchases, the Self-serve subscription terms below plus your Stripe order; for negotiated deals, a Master Software License and Support Agreement and an Order Form — and are activated by a signed license file. Where a commercial agreement applies, it — not the rest of these Terms — governs your use of the software.

The subscription. Temper Pro is a monthly subscription priced per vCPU under management, billed in advance by our payment processor, Stripe. Your order (organization name and vCPU quantity) is stated at checkout and adjustable afterwards in the Stripe billing portal. The subscription renews automatically each month until cancelled.

License delivery. On successful payment we issue a signed license file that activates Pro features in the Temper dashboard. Renewal payments re-issue the license automatically. The software itself remains licensed under the Business Source License 1.1; the license file conveys Pro entitlements, not additional software rights. Enforcement components are never license-gated: a lapsed license disables Pro dashboard features only.

Cancellation and refunds. Cancel anytime in the billing portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period, and the last issued license simply expires on its own schedule. If Pro is not working out within the first 30 days of your initial purchase, email [email protected] and we will refund the first payment in full.

Pricing and taxes. Early access pricing is subject to change with notice; price changes never apply retroactively to an active subscription. Displayed prices exclude taxes, which Stripe calculates and collects at checkout where applicable. Licensed vCPU capacity is displayed against measured usage and is a good-faith commercial term, not a technical enforcement; if your fleet grows past it, true up in the billing portal.

You may view, download, and print Site content for your own informational and internal evaluation purposes. You agree not to:

• use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or regulation;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its hosting infrastructure, or any connected system, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site except as permitted under our security policy;
• interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Site, including through automated scraping that imposes an unreasonable load;
• misrepresent your affiliation with Byte-Lab or Temper, or use our name, logo, or trademarks except as expressly permitted; or
• remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.

The Site is a static, informational website. It has no user accounts, no login, and no forms; the only way to contact us through the Site is by email to the addresses we publish.

The Site and its content — text, layout, graphics, and the arrangement thereof — are owned by Byte-Lab or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited permission in Section 3, no right or license is granted to you in any Site content. “Temper,” “Byte-Lab,” the Temper mark, and related names and logos are trademarks of Byte-Lab; nothing on the Site grants you any right to use them without our prior written permission. Rights in the Temper software are governed by its own license, not by these Terms.

The Site may link to third-party websites or resources (for example, a source-code repository or documentation host). We provide these links for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party sites, their content, or their privacy practices. Accessing a linked site is at your own risk and subject to that site’s terms.

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any content is complete or current.

Performance, benchmark, pricing, and savings figures on the Site are illustrative, reflect specific measured configurations, and may change without notice. Pricing shown is early-access and subject to change (active subscriptions keep their rate; see Section 03). Outside a completed checkout under the Self-serve subscription terms, nothing on the Site is a warranty, guarantee, or binding offer, and nothing on the Site should be read as a commitment about how the software will perform in your environment.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BYTE-LAB AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site will not exceed [USD 100 / applicable minimum permitted by law]. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. This section governs the Site only; liability relating to the software is addressed in the software’s license and any commercial agreement.

Changes to these Terms. We may revise these Terms from time to time. The current version is always posted here with its “Last updated” date. Material changes take effect when posted; your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, stop using the Site.

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any dispute relating to the Site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in [JURISDICTION/VENUE], except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.
