These terms govern your use of the Initium marketing site at initium.sh, the app at app.initium.sh (the Style Builder, Strategy Builder, and Blocks browser), the Initium registry, and the products we sell (together, the "Service"). By accessing the Service, you agree to be bound by these terms and all applicable laws, and you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. If you do not agree with any of these terms, do not use the Service.
The short version: use the free tools as much as you like, follow the License Agreement for anything you purchase, and don't abuse the Service.
Products and Licensing
Initium sells Pro Blocks (React and Tailwind CSS components built for shadcn/ui) and Skills (instruction files for AI coding agents). Your rights to install, use, and build with these products are defined by the License Agreement, which you accept when you purchase. If these terms and the License Agreement ever appear to conflict about what you may do with the products, the License Agreement controls.
Style and Strategy are free tools. The DESIGN.md and STRATEGY.md files they generate from your input are yours to use, modify, and distribute without restriction.
Purchases and Payments
Purchases are processed by Polar, our merchant of record. Polar handles checkout, payment, taxes, and receipts under Polar's own terms. We never see or store your payment card details.
Prices are shown at checkout and may change at any time. A purchase grants you a license as described in the License Agreement; it does not transfer ownership of the products to you.
Refunds
Because the Pro Blocks and Skills are digital products delivered immediately and cannot be returned, all sales are generally final. If something is wrong with your purchase — you were charged incorrectly, the product doesn't work as described, or you bought the wrong license — contact us within 14 days of purchase and we will make it right.
Refunds are not available where a license has been revoked for breach of the License Agreement.
License Keys
Initium does not use accounts. Your license key is your proof of purchase and your access to the pro registry. You are responsible for keeping it confidential: do not share it, publish it, commit it to a public repository, or give it to people not covered by your license. We may revoke keys that are leaked, shared, or used in breach of the License Agreement.
Ownership and Intellectual Property
Initium and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service and the products, including all source code, design assets, components, Skills, documentation, branding, and related intellectual property rights. Purchasing a license grants you the limited rights described in the License Agreement and nothing more. You own the End Products you create, excluding the components and Skills themselves.
You may not copy, scrape, or redistribute the contents of the Service except as the License Agreement allows.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the registry, pro products, or any part of the Service, including by circumventing license validation or rate limits.
- Use the Service to distribute malware, spam, or unlawful content.
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service, for example by flooding it with automated requests.
- Misrepresent your affiliation with Initium or use our branding without permission.
Links to Other Websites
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services that we do not own or control, such as external documentation or tools. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. We recommend reading the terms and privacy policy of any site you visit.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, and revoke your license as described in the License Agreement, if you breach these terms. The sections of these terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Ownership, Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law — survive it.
Disclaimer
Your use of the Service and the products is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of performance. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the products will meet your requirements.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Initium's total liability to you for any costs, damages, or other losses arising from your use of the Service or the products — including third-party claims against you — is limited to a refund of the amount you paid. In no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Exclusions
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some of the limitations above may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Initium from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or the products in violation of these terms or the License Agreement, or from the End Products you create and distribute.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Poland, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Polish courts. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these terms is not a waiver of it. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
Changes
We reserve the right to modify or replace these terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will update the "last updated" date above and note the change in the changelog. By continuing to use the Service after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
