Terms of use

Pile Commander is a visual workspace. The app on your computer works without an account, and these terms do not govern what you do there. What follows covers the cloud service: workspaces you keep in the network, invites, public links, and optional listing on the Hub. It is not a general-purpose file host.

Who we are

The service is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY — beta, not yet registered], established in [COUNTRY]. Questions about these terms go to .

Accounts

You sign up with an email address and a password, and confirm the address before the account works. We also use it to carry the invites you send and to reach you about moderation. You must be at least 13, and old enough to agree to the processing of your data where you live — in much of the EU that is 16.

You are responsible for what you upload and for who you invite. Do not share your password. You can delete the account in the app; it asks you to sign in again first. We may suspend an account that abuses the service or these terms.

Your content

What you upload stays yours. To run the service you let us store it, serve it to the people you share it with, keep the copies our providers hold in backups, and — for public workspaces only — generate preview images so visitors do not have to pull your originals.

A public workspace is live: anyone with the link reads it as it is now, not a frozen copy. While “Allow forks and downloads” is on, visitors can copy that workspace into their own account or download it as a .pile. Taking a workspace off the Hub does not make it private — that is a separate switch in the app.

Prohibited content

You may not publish, share, or list on the Hub anything that is illegal where we operate, including (not only): child sexual abuse material; content that exploits or endangers minors; terrorist content; malware; non-consensual intimate imagery; doxxing; or material that infringes someone else’s copyright, trademark, or other rights.

Abuse of the service

Spam, phishing, and using the Hub as free file hosting for strangers are forbidden. So is working around the limits: bulk-downloading other people’s public workspaces, scripting the app to dodge quotas, rate limits, or the fair-use meter on public links, or opening extra accounts for the same purpose.

Limits and fair use

Free gives one account 100 MB across its workspaces, desktops, and trash; a single file up to 25 MB; and 3 Hub listings. Serving a public workspace to people who are not its members is metered per month against the owner’s allowance, and requests are rate-limited.

We may change these numbers as the beta teaches us what they should be. We will not silently lock or delete what you have already uploaded. Paid plans open after the beta and sit next to Free; there is nothing to pay today, and no card is stored.

Reports, hiding, and takedown

We do not pre-moderate. Signed-in visitors can report a listed workspace from the app; anonymous reports and copyright notices go to the address on the Support page.

Three reports from accounts older than seven days hide a Hub card until a moderator looks at it, and the owner is emailed. Hiding a card does not by itself take down the public link: we make a workspace private when its content is unlawful or a moderator decides it has to go. You can appeal by writing to that same address.

Suspension and termination

We can hide a listing, make a workspace private, or suspend an account that breaks these terms. Repeat copyright infringement ends the account. You can stop whenever you like: delete a workspace, or the whole account, in the app.

Beta, availability, and changes

The cloud service is in beta. It carries no uptime promise and it is not a backup service — keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. The app on your computer works offline for exactly that reason. Features and limits will change while the beta runs.

We may change these terms. The date at the top moves, and for anything material we write to the address on your account. Using the service after that is acceptance.

No warranty, and what we owe you

The service is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost data, lost profits, or indirect damages, and our total liability for a service you pay nothing for is limited to what you have paid for it. Nothing here removes consumer rights that cannot be waived where you live.

Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the law of [COUNTRY]. Questions: . How we handle your data is a separate page: Privacy.
