Terms of use

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and EDBN, the operator of UI (“UI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They apply to the UI website and account service. A reference catalog, code examples, previews, collections, organization workspaces, paid plans, APIs, MCP services, or machine-assisted feature becomes part of the “Service” only if UI makes it available and links or otherwise presents these Terms with it.

If you do not agree, do not create an account or use an authenticated feature. Selecting “Continue with Google” or another control that clearly presents these Terms confirms your acceptance. Merely viewing a public page does not grant rights in code, references, or catalog material.

If you use UI for a company, school, agency, or other organization, you confirm that you may accept these Terms for it. “You” then includes that organization. If a signed agreement or order form applies to your account, it controls over these Terms where the documents conflict.

2. Definitions

“Reference Material” means screenshots, recordings, product names, source links, observations, and other material used to document a real-world interface. “Example Code” means code published by UI for Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or another framework. “Catalog Material” means UI’s taxonomy, metadata, editorial text, evaluation evidence, arrangement, and other catalog content. “Customer Content” means code, files, prompts, designs, data, and other material you provide. “Machine Output” means a search ranking, adaptation plan, recommendation, critique, or generated result produced with automated assistance. “Product” means a website, application, service, or other software you build that materially incorporates Example Code for end use. It includes a private internal component or design-system package used only by you and your authorized personnel to develop or operate Products, and customer-specific source delivered with a Product for that Product's use. It does not include a source archive, template pack, component or code library, dataset, catalog, or similar offering distributed to third parties primarily to make Example Code available for reuse. “UI Parties” means EDBN, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, suppliers, and licensors.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, have legal capacity to enter this agreement, and not have been barred previously from the Service. UI is not offered to minors. You may not use it where doing so would violate sanctions, export controls, or any other applicable legal restriction. If you act for an organization, your authority must remain valid throughout that use.

4. What UI provides

The current Service is a website and account service. If the catalog launches, it will be a research and development tool for studying interface patterns in context. It may provide EDBN-authored interactive examples, the exact source used to render each preview, equivalent framework variants, provenance, accessibility and state evidence, search, and tools that retrieve or adapt published material.

UI is not the product being observed. A reference is not a claim that UI possesses that product's source code. The labels “EDBN-authored” and “independent implementation” may be used only when the provenance record supports that the example was independently written from permitted observations, public standards and documentation, licensed dependencies, and synthetic fixtures, without private or leaked code, production data, or another product's backend.

5. Accounts and credentials

Provide accurate information and use an email address you control. Do not transfer an account or create extra accounts to avoid restrictions. Keep your email account and devices secure, and promptly report suspected unauthorized access. Do not share session tokens, API keys, MCP credentials, or other secrets. You are responsible for authorized use of credentials issued to you; this does not make you responsible for a security failure caused by UI.

We may require re-authentication, revoke sessions or credentials, or limit access when reasonably needed to secure an account or the Service. Account credentials are personal unless UI expressly issues a service credential intended for a team, server, or automated client.

6. Organizations and administrators

If organization workspaces are offered, an organization may appoint owners and administrators who can manage members, permissions, content, credentials, billing, retention, exports, and workspace access. Before joining, UI will identify what becomes visible or controlled by the organization. Organization instructions and administrator actions are treated as authorized when they stay within assigned controls, unless UI knows the instruction is unauthorized or unlawful.

7. Free and paid plans

This section applies only if UI offers a purchase. Some features may be free, limited, metered, or paid. The price, currency, billing interval, included usage, overage treatment, renewal, cancellation, taxes, total due, and mandatory consumer information shown when you order are part of these Terms. You authorize UI and its payment provider to charge the selected method only after those terms are shown and you expressly confirm the purchase.

A recurring plan renews only on the interval disclosed at checkout and until cancelled. Online enrollment will have an online cancellation method that is no more difficult than enrollment. Cancellation stops future renewals and ordinarily takes effect at the end of the paid period. Refunds, withdrawal rights, trial length, conversion date, and post-trial price are governed by the offer and mandatory local law.

We may change future prices with advance notice required by law. A fee dispute must be raised promptly so it can be investigated, but this does not shorten any mandatory chargeback or consumer right.

8. Your right to use the Service

Subject to these Terms and any plan limits, UI grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to access the hosted Service for personal or internal business work. Authorized employees and contractors may use an organization workspace under that organization's account. This access right does not transfer ownership or permit resale, service-bureau access, or offering the catalog itself as a product. It is separate from any code license.

9. Example Code and item-specific licenses

The license displayed with a pattern, source archive, asset, or dependency controls that item. For Example Code that UI identifies as UI-authored, makes available to you for copying, and publishes without a separate license notice, UI grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to copy, modify, run, and incorporate that code into Products. This license is subject to the access, attribution, and other conditions shown with the item when you obtain it. The license for a copy you were authorized to obtain, and obtained in accordance with those conditions, is perpetual and continues after your hosted access ends. A later challenge, label change, or dispute does not by itself revoke that valid prior license, but it does not affect any third-party right or remedy or grant a right that UI lacked authority to grant. You may sublicense the code to employees and contractors working for you, and to users, customers, and distributors only as needed to develop, operate, use, or distribute a Product. You may distribute the code, modified or unmodified, only as part of that Product, not as standalone reusable code. No default license applies to Reference Material, third-party source, or an item identified as having unknown or disputed ownership or license status when you obtain it.

That default license does not permit mirroring or reselling UI's catalog, redistributing source archives as a standalone or competing library, removing required notices, or claiming third-party material as your own. It grants no rights in patents, registered designs, trademarks, trade dress, publicity rights, screenshots, recordings, logos, product copy, fonts, icons, images, or other assets unless an item-specific notice expressly says otherwise. Package and asset licenses remain separate. Preserve notices and satisfy attribution, source-availability, copyleft, and other obligations that apply to your distribution.

A code viewer may show the same file used for the preview, but that integrity guarantee does not mean the code has been reviewed for every production environment. You remain responsible for dependency review, testing, security, accessibility, browser support, performance, and compliance in your product.

10. Real-world references and third-party rights

Reference Material may be included to identify, describe, compare, comment on, or study interface decisions. Product names, screenshots, recordings, marks, logos, illustrations, copy, fonts, icons, trade dress, and other third-party material remain with their owners. No Example Code license covers that material. A separate item notice must expressly identify the material and each permitted surface; API or MCP delivery must be recorded separately. Inclusion does not grant a license from that owner or imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or access to private source code.

Laws governing screenshots, interfaces, databases, copyright, trademarks, designs, and fair use or fair dealing differ by country and context. UI’s decision to publish a reference is not legal advice about your use. Before shipping, replace third-party branding and proprietary assets, write product-specific copy, adapt the interaction to your own users, and obtain any permission your use requires.

Before UI publishes a downloadable example, its publication process requires independently written code, original presentation, synthetic fixtures, and documented permission or a compatible license for included dependencies and assets. That review is not a representation that UI has identified or cleared every possible third-party right. UI may reject or remove a downloadable example that it reasonably believes contains another product's logo, proprietary copy, customer data, or source extracted from its application. A public reference does not authorize bypassing authentication, paywalls, access controls, bot controls, rate limits, machine-readable rights reservations, or contractual restrictions.

You may not use UI to pass a product off as another company’s product, create a likelihood of confusion, impersonate a brand, or reproduce a distinctive screen or protected expression when a general pattern would serve the same function. “Reference,” “research,” “independent,” and attribution are context, not permission from a rights holder.

11. UI’s catalog and platform rights

UI and its licensors own the original Service software, brand, editorial work, taxonomy, evaluation methods, metadata selection, arrangement, and compilation, subject to third-party rights in referenced material. You may quote or link to a reasonable amount for ordinary commentary and internal work. You may not systematically extract, bulk-download, mirror, republish, sell, or use the catalog to build a substitute reference database without written permission. These restrictions also apply to repeated automated extraction, embeddings, model training, and coordinated requests intended to reconstruct a substantial part of the catalog. They do not limit rights that applicable law does not allow UI to restrict.

12. Customer Content

You keep the rights you hold in Customer Content. You grant UI and its service providers a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, copy, transmit, transform, execute, and display that material only as needed to provide the feature you requested, follow your settings and instructions, secure and support the Service, and comply with law. This license ends when the material is deleted from active systems, except for limited backups and records that must be retained for security, legal, or evidentiary reasons.

You must have the authority to provide Customer Content and permit the processing described above. Do not submit private source code, confidential information, personal data, or regulated material unless the feature is expressly intended for it and you have completed any review your organization requires.

Any commitment that UI will not use Customer Content to train or fine-tune a general-purpose model applies only when stated in the feature notice, plan, setting, or signed agreement governing your use, and only to the content and processing within its stated scope. Where that commitment applies, processing needed to answer a request, create an embedding for your workspace, run validation, detect abuse, or retain history under your settings is not model training. Review the applicable notice and settings before submitting private source code or confidential material. Private or enterprise features may be subject to a separate data-processing or confidentiality agreement.

13. Public submissions

UI does not obtain a right to publish private Customer Content merely because it was uploaded. If UI later accepts material for the public catalog, publication will require separate contributor terms shown at submission. Those terms must cover the rights needed to review, test, adapt across frameworks, display, distribute, and license the accepted material to users. They control over this section for a public submission.

A public submission must have accurate authorship, source, dependency, and license information. It must not contain private or leaked source, trade secrets, unnecessary personal data, malware, material acquired through circumvention, or work that you lack authority to contribute. UI may ask for evidence and may reject or remove a submission even after review.

14. Feedback

Unless a signed confidentiality agreement says otherwise, unsolicited ideas and suggestions are not confidential. You grant UI a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use them without restriction or compensation. Do not include confidential information in feedback. This section does not turn Customer Content into feedback merely because it accompanied a support request.

15. APIs, MCP, and automated clients

If UI provides an API, MCP server, or other automated interface, use is limited to the documented clients, scopes, resources, rate limits, quotas, and entitlements assigned to you. A credential may be used only for the account or organization to which it was issued. Do not expose it in public code, share it between unrelated customers, resell access, rotate accounts to evade limits, or pass it to an agent you do not trust. Notify UI promptly if a credential may be compromised.

Item licenses and access restrictions continue to apply when material is returned through an automated interface. Unless documentation or a plan expressly permits it, do not use responses to reconstruct the catalog, build a substitute dataset, create a persistent mirror, train or fine-tune a model, or retrieve material for a person who lacks access. Temporary caching necessary to complete an authorized request is permitted only for as long as reasonably needed for that request. This caching limit does not restrict retention or use of Example Code that the response identifies as licensed for download or continued use; Section 9 and the item-specific license govern that code.

A tool response is information, not authority to take an external action. You must configure permissions, review sensitive operations, and supervise clients acting with your credentials. Any future tool that writes to a repository, publishes content, contacts another person, or incurs a charge may require additional terms and an explicit confirmation. Preview interfaces may change or be withdrawn; generally available versions will receive reasonable retirement notice when practical.

16. Search, recommendations, and Machine Output

You retain the rights you hold in the input you provide. As between you and UI, and to the extent UI has rights to grant in Machine Output, UI grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to copy, use, modify, display, perform, and distribute that output for lawful purposes permitted by your plan, including incorporation into Products. This permission does not establish UI ownership of the output and does not transfer any third-party right. If Machine Output includes or identifies Example Code, a dependency, Reference Material, or other separately licensed content, its item-specific license and restrictions control that part.

Machine Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, insecure, inaccessible, outdated, or similar to existing material. It may not be unique or eligible for intellectual-property protection. Review the cited references, provenance, license status, dependencies, and output before use. You are responsible for the product you ship and for its originality, branding, safety, accessibility, privacy, security, performance, and compliance.

Do not rely on Machine Output for legal, medical, financial, employment, credit, housing, insurance, or another decision that has a legal or similarly significant effect on a person.

17. Executable previews and code safety

If preview or build features are offered, they are designed to isolate submitted code, but no isolation is absolute. Do not provide live credentials, customer data, production endpoints, destructive scripts, or malware. Do not attempt a sandbox escape, dependency-confusion attack, unauthorized network access, persistence, cryptomining, scanning, denial of service, or testing outside a scope UI has expressly authorized.

UI may stop a build, block a dependency, disable network access, limit resources, quarantine an artifact, or remove code that presents a security, licensing, reliability, or abuse risk.

18. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to:

• violate law, privacy, confidentiality, or intellectual-property rights;
• impersonate a person or brand, deceive users, or misstate affiliation;
• upload malware, stolen credentials, or unlawfully obtained data;
• bypass authentication, paywalls, access controls, or rate limits;
• obtain, submit, reconstruct, or disclose private source code, trade secrets, confidential material, or data acquired by circumvention;
• access another account, workspace, system, or data without authorization;
• probe, scan, disrupt, overload, or degrade UI or a third-party service;
• scrape, mirror, resell, or reconstruct restricted catalog content;
• remove attribution, provenance, copyright, trademark, or license notices;
• create unlawful, deceptive, abusive, or rights-infringing material; or
• help another person do anything prohibited by these Terms.

This section does not prohibit security research that UI has expressly authorized in writing or activity within the published security policy. Public availability, a robots rule, or a tool response is not permission to bypass a technical or contractual restriction.

19. Rights reports and content decisions

The Legal Notice explains the current general process for copyright, trademark, design, patent, privacy, security, and abuse concerns. UI may restrict material while reviewing a credible report, request missing information, preserve evidence, notify the contributor, and consider a response or appeal. Where UI hosts material at a user's direction, it will terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances under a reasonably implemented policy. A serious deliberate violation may justify action without a prior warning.

20. Third-party services

UI may link to or interoperate with repositories, packages, identity, hosting, model, payment, and other providers. Their terms, licenses, availability, and privacy practices may also apply. A link is not an endorsement. UI is not responsible for matters within a provider's control, but this does not remove UI's responsibility for its own selection, instructions, representations, or non-excludable legal duty.

21. Changes, beta features, and availability

UI may add, change, limit, or discontinue features and perform maintenance. Preview, beta, experimental, and early-access features may be incomplete, change without backward compatibility, and be withdrawn. We do not promise that a pattern, framework version, dependency, ranking, source link, or external product will remain available.

A materially adverse change to a paid service will receive the notice, continued access, termination option, or refund that the order and mandatory law require. Keep independent copies of material you need. UI is not source-code escrow, a backup service, or a system of record unless a signed agreement expressly says so.

22. Suspension and termination

You may stop using UI at any time. UI may limit, suspend, or terminate access for a material or repeated breach, security risk, unpaid amount, legal requirement, harm to another person, or threat to the Service. Immediate action may be taken where delay would create material risk. Otherwise, where practical and lawful, UI will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure or export eligible Customer Content.

On termination, the hosted-Service access right ends and credentials may be revoked. A valid Example Code license for a copy already received continues as Section 9 says. Provisions concerning accrued payments, ownership, Customer Content licenses needed for limited retention, disclaimers, liability limits, business indemnity, disputes, and other matters that by their nature continue will survive termination. Export, deletion, retention, and prepaid-fee treatment follow the feature terms, order, Privacy Policy, and mandatory law.

23. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” UI disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and warranties arising from dealing or trade usage. UI does not warrant uninterrupted operation, permanent storage, or that a reference, code sample, license label, preview, test, ranking, recommendation, or output is accurate, complete, secure, accessible, original, cleared for your intended use, or suitable for production. An observed reference is not a legal opinion or a promise that your reproduction of it is lawful.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or consumer guarantee that cannot lawfully be excluded.

24. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the UI Parties will not be liable under any theory for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or interruption, arising from or related to these Terms or the Service, even if advised that the loss was possible.

The UI Parties' single aggregate liability for all claims arising from or related to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid UI during the 12 months before the first event giving rise to liability or USD 100. These exclusions and the cap do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury where caused by legally actionable negligence, or another liability that applicable law does not permit UI to limit. Mandatory consumer remedies remain available.

25. Indemnity

This section applies only when you use the Service for a business or organization. To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify the UI Parties against third-party claims, damages, judgments, settlements, and reasonable legal costs arising from Customer Content you provide, your unauthorized modification or combination of material, your unlawful use, or your material breach of these Terms. These obligations do not apply to a claim to the extent it results from a UI Party's material breach or willful misconduct, an instruction UI required you to follow, or your authorized use of unmodified UI-authored material exactly as UI supplied it. The last exclusion does not apply where the claim arises from Customer Content, your specifications or context, a combination UI did not supply or approve, use outside the applicable license, or continued use after UI offered a reasonable mitigation.

UI will give reasonably prompt notice, allow you to control the defense with qualified counsel, and provide reasonable cooperation at your expense. You may settle a claim without UI's consent only if the settlement fully and unconditionally releases every affected UI Party, requires no admission, payment, or other obligation from a UI Party, and you pay all settlement amounts. Any other settlement requires UI's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. UI may participate with its own counsel at its own expense. If you do not assume and diligently conduct the defense, or your counsel has a material conflict, UI may take control of the defense at your expense to the extent the indemnity applies.

26. Disputes and applicable law

Before filing a formal claim, send a concise description to terms@edbn.me and allow 30 days for an informal resolution. This step does not prevent an urgent request for injunctive relief, a small-claims filing, action to protect intellectual property or security, or a filing needed to meet a statutory deadline. Unless a signed agreement states governing law and venue, applicable choice-of-law and court rules determine them. Consumers retain mandatory rights and venues available where they live.

27. Changes to these Terms

UI may update these Terms for changes to the Service, law, or risk. The revised version will show a new effective date and apply prospectively. UI will notify account holders of materially adverse changes within the period required by law and obtain fresh agreement when required. If you do not accept an update, stop using the affected feature before it takes effect and cancel any renewing plan. Prior versions may be requested at the terms address.

28. General

A signed master agreement or order controls over these Terms for its subject. An item-specific license controls for that item; third-party license duties are not overridden. Feature-specific terms control for that feature. These Terms otherwise control use of the hosted Service. The Privacy Policy is a notice of data practices, not a promise to provide a feature or a waiver of rights under these Terms.

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited only as necessary and the remainder continues. Delay in enforcement is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without consent; EDBN may assign them with a reorganization or transfer of the Service, subject to mandatory notice rights. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms create no agency, partnership, employment, fiduciary relationship, or third-party enforcement right unless they expressly say otherwise.

Neither party is liable for delay caused by an event outside its reasonable control, except for payment already due and a duty that cannot lawfully be excused. You must comply with applicable export controls and sanctions. Account and policy notices may be delivered in the Service or to the account email. Headings do not affect meaning.

29. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be sent to terms@edbn.me. Formal legal notices should be sent to legal@edbn.me.
