Terms of Service

Last updated: October 16, 2026

Welcome to StackLiberate. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of stackliberate.com, the StackLiberate website-building platform, its editor, site licensing, export, publishing, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

In these Terms, “StackLiberate,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of the StackLiberate Service, based in the United States. “You” means the person or organization using the Service or acquiring rights through it. For questions, contact hello@stackliberate.com.

Please read these Terms before creating an account or purchasing. By expressly accepting these Terms where presented, or by using the Service after being given the opportunity to review them, you agree to be bound by them to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. Our Refund Policy explains the voluntary refund program and applicable exceptions. Those policies are available before purchase and are incorporated into these Terms to the extent relevant. In the event of an inconsistency about voluntary refunds, the Refund Policy controls, without limiting mandatory legal rights.

1. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a contract to use the Service. You agree to provide accurate account information, protect your credentials, and promptly notify us if you suspect unauthorized account access.

Your account identifies you; it does not determine which package you have purchased or give you access to every website in the Service. Access to an individual site depends on ownership, an authorized collaborator role, and other applicable permissions. You are responsible for actions performed through your account to the extent permitted by law, except where caused by our breach of these Terms or failures for which we are legally responsible.

We may require identity verification or reauthentication for sensitive actions such as transferring a site, changing account information, connecting a hosting provider, or requesting account deletion.

2. The product and its scope

StackLiberate provides a template-first way to create, customize, publish, and export websites. Each template supplies its own page structure and supported editing capabilities. Available controls, page types, sections, layout options, forms, and other features vary by template and are described in the Service.

StackLiberate is designed to generate independently hostable website files. It is not a promise to provide an arbitrary application backend, a database for every exported website, a content management system running within the export, or any specific business outcome. Certain website features depend on external services configured by you or included in the resulting site.

We may improve or modify the Service over time. Modifications do not retroactively reduce rights already granted under a completed site license except as permitted by these Terms and applicable law.

3. Orders, prices, and purchase records

StackLiberate offers one-time purchases of site-license entitlements. The price, currency, number of entitlements, taxes, and any material purchase-specific conditions are those displayed in the applicable offer and checkout at the time you complete your order and reflected in your purchase confirmation. Product or package labels do not create a separate account type or a recurring editor subscription.

We use Lemon Squeezy as Merchant of Record for purchases processed through its checkout. Lemon Squeezy handles payment collection and associated payment, tax, refund, and chargeback functions under its applicable terms. Your payment receipt may identify Lemon Squeezy or the store name presented during checkout. StackLiberate remains responsible for the Service and the site-license rights it provides under these Terms.

A checkout redirect or a return to StackLiberate is not, by itself, confirmation that an order has been paid. Purchased entitlements are granted after the order is verified. We may correct billing errors, investigate suspected fraud, and reconcile payment or refund events without issuing duplicate entitlements.

4. Site licenses and permitted uses

Each purchased entitlement may be activated for one eligible website in StackLiberate (a “Licensed Site”). Activation associates the entitlement with that site. An entitlement used for one Licensed Site is not automatically reusable for another independent website, including after a transfer of ownership.

Subject to payment, compliance with these Terms, and the rights of third-party licensors, activation grants the lawful holder of the Licensed Site a non-exclusive, worldwide, continuing license without a fixed time expiration to use, reproduce as needed to operate, modify, publish, and host that Licensed Site and the StackLiberate-controlled template elements incorporated into its delivered output. The license is tied to the Licensed Site, not to indefinite availability of our online editor or hosting.

This license permits you to:

  • Run the Licensed Site on compatible infrastructure of your choosing and move it between providers.
  • Modify the exported HTML, CSS, scripts, and other delivered files for the same Licensed Site.
  • Maintain backups and staging or development copies reasonably associated with that Licensed Site.
  • Build a website for a client and transfer the Licensed Site and its associated license to that client through the permitted ownership-transfer process.

It does not permit you to extract, repackage, sublicense, or sell StackLiberate templates, template collections, editor software, or template source materials as standalone products; establish unrelated new websites using one activated entitlement; or represent that you own StackLiberate’s underlying intellectual property.

A license to a site does not confer exclusive ownership of a template or prevent other customers from using the same template. Rights to fonts, stock images, icons, open-source components, third-party scripts, and other third-party materials remain subject to their respective licenses and required notices. Nothing in these Terms restricts rights you have independently under applicable law or the original third-party licenses.

5. Available and unused entitlements

Unused site licenses remain available for activation while StackLiberate operates its site activation service. Site licenses do not require recurring renewal. Online editing and hosting are provided subject to the service availability terms below.

Unused entitlements are associated with the purchaser’s account. They are not subscriptions, team seats, cash equivalents, or generally transferable balances. Transfers of a completed Licensed Site do not transfer unused entitlements remaining in the purchaser’s account.

Discontinuation of the Service does not, by itself, entitle the purchaser to a voluntary refund beyond the terms of our Refund Policy. Any rights or remedies required by applicable law remain unaffected.

6. Your content and materials

You retain the rights you hold in text, images, logos, branding, and other material that you upload or create independently of StackLiberate (“Your Content”). We do not acquire ownership of Your Content merely because you use the Service.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, reproduce, transform, back up, display, export, and publish Your Content only as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, protect, and support the Service, to carry out your instructions, and to comply with the law. This license ends when the relevant content is deleted from our active systems, subject to legitimate retention obligations and backup processes described in the Privacy Policy.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to upload and publish Your Content and that it will not violate applicable laws or the rights of others. You are responsible for replacing illustrative template text, sample testimonials, example logos, photographs, contact details, qualifications, and other demonstration content with information and materials you have the right to publish.

7. Online editor and account services

Online editing, saved versions, restoration, account administration, and associated service features are made available while StackLiberate operates those services, without a separate recurring editor-access charge under the one-time site-license model.

A purchase is not a sale of the StackLiberate editor or a promise of lifetime access to a hosted software service. We may modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue online services for legitimate operational, technical, security, legal, or business reasons. For material planned discontinuations, we will provide reasonable advance notice and an opportunity to export eligible sites where practicable. Immediate action may be necessary for safety, abuse, legal compliance, or a third-party service failure.

Your continuing right to use previously exported Licensed Site files under Section 4 does not depend on continued access to the editor. You should keep independent copies of completed exports important to your business.

8. Publishing, hosting, and third-party providers

StackLiberate provides a convenient initial publishing and hosting option through hosting infrastructure arranged by us. This option is a service convenience separate from the one-time Licensed Site rights. It does not include a guaranteed minimum hosting term or permanent hosting commitment. We may change, restrict, or end StackLiberate-managed hosting with reasonable advance notice when practicable, except where immediate action is needed for legal, security, abuse-prevention, or operational reasons.

You can export eligible files for independent hosting or transfer a supported project to a hosting account under your control. Your ongoing obligations to domain registrars, hosting providers, DNS providers, email providers, form processors, and other external services are separate from your StackLiberate license. External services can impose their own prices, policies, restrictions, and interruptions.

You are responsible for your domain registration, DNS records, applicable third-party charges, legal notices, and the operation of the published site after taking control of external hosting. Domain ownership, registrar accounts, mailboxes, billing arrangements, and third-party credentials do not transfer merely because ownership changes inside StackLiberate.

A site may be publicly accessible only after you expressly publish it. Saving, restoring, or editing an unpublished version does not automatically make that version live. Published files and external resources may continue to be served or cached by third parties outside our control.

9. Exports and portability

A valid export provides the HTML, CSS, and supported assets needed to deploy the Licensed Site as a standalone static website. The export does not require the proprietary StackLiberate editor runtime to serve its own static files.

An export may still include or reference third-party fonts, images, maps, links, form endpoints, embeds, or services. These may require an internet connection, accounts, ongoing provider availability, licenses, or independent configuration. We do not warrant that every exported feature works offline or without any third-party dependency.

You are responsible for reviewing the exported site, testing forms and links, configuring third-party integrations, complying with applicable notices, and keeping your own copies of your delivered files.

10. Site ownership, collaboration, and Handoff

Each site has one recognized owner within StackLiberate at a time. The owner may invite collaborators with defined permissions, and may initiate an ownership transfer (“Handoff”) to an eligible recipient. Handoff becomes effective when the recipient completes the required acceptance process; an invitation alone does not transfer ownership.

On a valid Handoff, the Licensed Site, its associated site license, and its applicable stored content and history remain with the transferred site. The original purchaser retains any unused entitlements still held in their own account. A former owner may remain a collaborator only where expressly permitted. Collaboration does not convey the site license, account ownership, or authority to publish unless the Service grants that action.

A Handoff does not automatically transfer a third-party account, domain registration, hosting contract, payment arrangement, or authentication credential. If the site uses a hosting connection owned by a different person, the parties must separately arrange any permitted hosting transfer or reconnection. StackLiberate does not adjudicate private disputes over client work, payment, or contractual ownership except as required by law or pursuant to a legally sufficient order or verifiable authorization.

11. Websites you publish and their visitors

You, or the current owner of a Licensed Site, are responsible for the site’s content, accuracy, legality, disclosures, privacy practices, visitor-facing cookies or tracking, and permissions for any forms or third-party integrations you enable. Using a template intended for a profession or industry does not certify compliance with industry-specific laws or professional rules.

StackLiberate does not become the operator of your business merely because it supplies a template or hosts a website. This allocation of responsibility does not excuse StackLiberate from obligations arising from its own conduct or the services it provides.

12. Acceptable use

You must not use the Service or published infrastructure to violate the law or another person’s rights; distribute malware, phishing, fraudulent or deceptive content; infringe intellectual property rights; interfere with other accounts or systems; evade access controls, security protections, or rate limits; abuse hosting resources; or misrepresent your affiliation with StackLiberate.

You may not use the Service to collect, store, or transmit information that requires specialized regulatory safeguards beyond those expressly offered by StackLiberate where doing so would violate applicable law or these Terms. We may investigate credible complaints, remove or restrict unlawful or harmful content, and suspend relevant access when reasonably necessary, consistent with applicable law.

13. Third-party services and intellectual property

The StackLiberate name, branding, editor, template framework, documentation, and Service software are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

Third-party providers and contributors retain their respective rights. Their products, APIs, stock media, fonts, plugins, icons, and hosted services are governed by their own terms and licenses. Mention of a third party or display of an illustrative logo does not imply an endorsement or partnership.

We may receive notices asserting infringement or unlawful content. Send reports to hello@stackliberate.com with sufficient information to identify the material, the right claimed, and how to contact you. We may remove or restrict content, request additional information, or take other action when appropriate. Knowingly false notices may have legal consequences.

14. Refunds, reversals, and licenses

Voluntary refunds follow our Refund Policy. A refund is not confirmed merely because a request was submitted or a bank dispute was opened. Refunds, chargebacks, and corrections are reconciled with the Merchant of Record and any applicable payment provider.

When a purchase is fully refunded or reversed, the related entitlements and, where legally permitted, associated permissions to use StackLiberate-owned template elements may be suspended or terminated to the extent they are no longer paid for. This does not transfer ownership of Your Content to StackLiberate. Legitimate rights of a recipient to whom a site was previously transferred are handled separately and are not silently canceled because of a dispute with the original purchaser. Correcting a duplicate charge or issuing a partial adjustment does not automatically terminate an otherwise paid license.

15. Suspension, account deletion, and service discontinuation

We may suspend or terminate accounts or particular capabilities for material violations of these Terms, suspected fraud, legal or security risk, or other lawful reasons. Where appropriate we may offer an opportunity to correct the issue. Suspension of platform services does not, by itself, erase rights to independently hosted files for sites that remain validly licensed.

You may request account deletion through the Service or by contacting us. The deletion process may include identity verification, a disclosed waiting period, and a final processing phase. Before confirming deletion, review the effect on sites, remaining entitlements, collaborators, purchases, and hosting and export anything you wish to preserve.

After account deletion is completed, sites still owned by that account and hosted through StackLiberate-managed infrastructure are removed from that managed hosting. Sites validly transferred to another StackLiberate owner are not deleted with the former owner’s account. Sites hosted independently by a third party remain subject to that provider and cannot be deleted solely by closing a StackLiberate account. Downloaded files under your control are not remotely deleted by us.

Account deletion does not automatically entitle you to a refund; unused entitlements may be lost when an account is deleted after the relevant consequences are disclosed, subject to applicable law and any eligible refund rights. Certain transaction, fraud-prevention, security, and legal records may be retained as explained in the Privacy Policy.

16. Disclaimers and service limitations

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, the Service, online editor, managed hosting, templates, and related features are provided on an “AS AVAILABLE” and “AS IS” basis, except for obligations expressly stated in these Terms, the applicable purchase details, and warranties that cannot lawfully be disclaimed.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted hosting or editing; uninterrupted access to any third-party service; any particular search ranking, revenue, lead generation, conversion, regulatory approval, or business result; or compatibility with every browser, external integration, and hosting environment.

Nothing here excludes an express promise we make about the delivered licensed product or limits statutory rights that cannot be excluded.

17. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, StackLiberate is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost business opportunities, reputational harm, or loss of anticipated savings, arising from use of the Service, even if advised that such damages were possible.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, StackLiberate’s aggregate liability for claims arising out of or related to a particular purchase or Licensed Site will not exceed the amount actually paid for the relevant purchase giving rise to the claim. For a claim involving free use without any purchase, liability is limited only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

These limitations are independent of any limited remedy specified elsewhere in these Terms. They do not exclude responsibility for fraud, intentional misconduct, or any liability or consumer remedy that applicable law prohibits us from excluding or limiting. They do not reduce an amount we are required to return under a valid refund or mandatory legal obligation.

18. Responsibility for third-party claims

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend and indemnify StackLiberate against third-party claims, damages, and reasonable expenses to the extent caused by unlawful content you supply, your infringement of another person’s rights, or your material misuse of the Service. This obligation does not apply to claims caused by StackLiberate’s own violation of law, breach of these Terms, or other conduct for which we are responsible under applicable law. We will provide reasonably prompt notice of a covered claim and cooperate in its defense.

19. Governing law and dispute resolution

Before bringing a formal dispute, you and StackLiberate agree, where permitted by law, to send a written explanation of the issue to hello@stackliberate.com and attempt to resolve it informally for 30 days. This does not prevent either party from requesting urgent relief, pursuing a payment-provider process, or exercising a right that cannot lawfully be delayed.

These Terms are subject to applicable United States federal law and applicable state law, as determined under relevant choice-of-law principles. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer protections or any right to bring proceedings in a court that has jurisdiction under applicable law. Disputes that are not resolved informally may be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction.

These Terms do not impose mandatory private arbitration. The parties may agree to mediation or arbitration after a dispute arises.

20. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms as the Service evolves or legal requirements change. The current version and its effective date appear on this page. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes by posting a notice through the Service or sending an account communication when appropriate, and obtain renewed agreement where legally required.

A later version does not automatically revoke a completed purchase’s existing site-license rights or apply new purchase-specific pricing or quantities retroactively. The purchase record and the version of the applicable conditions accepted for that transaction govern those matters, subject to mandatory law.

21. General provisions

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder continues to apply to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision once does not waive our right to enforce it later. You may not assign your account or unused entitlements except through functionality or arrangements we expressly authorize; valid Handoff of a Licensed Site is permitted under Section 10. We may transfer administration of the Service and related contracts as part of a legitimate business reorganization, provided existing contractual rights and applicable privacy rights are respected.

These Terms, the purchase-specific details, and the policies incorporated here contain the agreement about the subjects they address, except for any separate written business agreement accepted by both parties. In a conflict with a separate expressly negotiated and signed agreement, that agreement controls within its stated scope.
