Terms of Service

dist0 is a marketing operating system for early-stage brands. The Service may include a waitlist, a free playbook audit that analyzes a public URL you submit, channel-ready content drafts, suggested next moves, and related tools we add over time.

The Service is provided as a working product. Features, pricing, and availability can change, and we may add, modify, or remove features at our discretion. When changes are material, we will give reasonable notice.

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, in which case “you” means that organization.

When the Service requires an account or waitlist signup, you agree to provide accurate information and keep it current. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account, including keeping your credentials secure and notifying us promptly of any unauthorized use.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal purpose, or to infringe anyone's rights, including intellectual property, privacy, and publicity rights.
• Submit URLs, content, or data that you do not have permission to submit, or that contain malware, phishing, or other harmful material.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, attempt to bypass rate limits, or interfere with normal operation.
• Scrape, copy, or systematically extract output from the Service to build a competing product or training dataset.
• Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service without our written permission.
• Send spam, harass others, or use audit reports or generated drafts in ways that mislead recipients.

We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe you are violating this section.

The Service is currently early-stage. Some features are labeled “beta,” “preview,” or similar, and others may behave that way without a label.

Beta features are provided as-is for evaluation. They may change, break, or be discontinued at any time, and they are not covered by any uptime or service-level promise. We may collect additional usage data during beta to improve the feature; this data is handled under our Privacy Policy.

When you submit a URL, brand asset, copy, or other input (“Inputs”), you keep all ownership in your Inputs. You grant dist0 a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, and use the Inputs solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service for you.

You are responsible for your Inputs, including making sure you have all necessary rights to submit them and that they comply with these Terms. We may remove Inputs that violate these Terms or that we are legally required to remove.

The Service produces output such as audit findings, suggested moves, and content drafts (“Output”). Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you may use Output for your own marketing, including commercial use. Output is generated automatically and may contain inaccuracies. Review before publishing.

The Service, including the dist0 brand, the playbook methodology, software, designs, and documentation, is owned by dist0 and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

We welcome feedback. If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feature requests, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use them without restriction. We will never associate feedback publicly with your name without permission.

Today, the waitlist and the playbook audit are free to use. We may introduce paid plans, usage limits, or both. When we do, current users will receive notice and a clear description of any plan they would be subscribing to before being charged.

For any paid plans we introduce, fees, taxes, refunds, billing cycles, and renewal terms will be presented at sign-up and form part of these Terms once you accept them.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, dist0 disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted operation.

dist0 is a marketing tool, not legal, financial, or professional advice. Output is generated by automated systems and large language models. It can be wrong, biased, or out of date. You are responsible for what you publish, send, or act on.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, dist0 and its founders, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or lost goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid dist0 in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, in which case they apply only to the extent permitted.

You may stop using the Service at any time and ask us to remove your waitlist entry or account by emailing support@dist0.com.

We may suspend or end your access if you violate these Terms, if your use creates risk or legal exposure for dist0 or others, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including ownership, disclaimers, limits of liability, and governing law, will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The exclusive venue for any dispute that is not subject to arbitration or small-claims court will be the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Nothing in this section affects mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, for material changes, give reasonable notice through the Service or by email if we have one for you.

Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms take effect means you accept them. If you don't, please stop using the Service.
