Terms of Service

PulseLight is a launch-readiness platform for AI-built applications. It connects to your code repository and to third-party platforms you choose to connect (collectively, your “Connected Data”), runs automated checks across seven readiness pillars, and returns a verdict plus a prioritised fix queue with paste-ready prompts for AI coding tools.

The Service is read-only by design. It does not open pull requests, push commits, modify your code, or change configuration on the platforms you connect. It reads, evaluates, and reports.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials, OAuth grants, and Personal Access Tokens secure. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account, including activity by teammates you invite to your workspace.

If you create an account on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to scan repositories or platform accounts you do not own or do not have explicit authorisation to scan.
• Reverse-engineer the Service, scrape its surfaces, or use it to build a competing product.
• Abuse the public-scan endpoint (sustained automated submission from rotating IPs, attempts to bypass rate limits, etc.).
• Submit code, prompts, or content that infringes third-party rights, violates law, or contains malware.
• Resell, sublicense, or white-label the Service except under a tier that explicitly authorises it.

Your Customer Data. You retain all rights to the code, configuration, and platform data you connect to the Service. You grant PulseLight a limited, non-exclusive licence to access, process, and store your Customer Data solely to provide the Service (run scans, render findings, send transactional email, deliver the dashboard).

Aggregated and de-identified data. PulseLight may use de-identified, aggregated metrics (e.g. “X% of scanned repositories on framework Y exhibit pattern Z”) to improve the Service and to publish research. Aggregated data never names a workspace, repository, or individual.

Our intellectual property. The Service, the scanner rules, the readiness pillar mapping, the founder-facing copy, and the AI prompt templates are owned by PulseLight. Findings generated about your repository are yours to use freely.

When you connect a third-party platform (GitHub, Stripe, Vercel, Supabase, Firebase, Railway, Render, Sentry, Clerk, PostHog, Plausible, BetterStack, Canny, Lemon Squeezy, or others added over time), you authorise PulseLight to read the specific data scopes shown on each platform’s OAuth or install screen. We use the narrowest read scope available.

We never use connected-platform credentials to write, modify, or delete data on those platforms. You may disconnect any platform at any time from your workspace settings; revocation is propagated to the upstream platform within a reasonable period.

PulseLight generates fix-with-AI prompts, founder summaries, and recommendation copy using a combination of deterministic rule output and large language model templates. AI-generated prompts are suggestions, not warranties. You are responsible for reviewing any AI-generated prompt before pasting it into Claude, Cursor, or another tool, and for the changes those tools make to your codebase.

Paid plans (currently Pro, Growth, Studio, and Studio Agency, plus one-off purchases such as the Investor Report Pack and Compliance Pack) are billed in advance on a monthly or annual cadence as selected at checkout. Prices, included project limits, and connected-check inclusions are listed on the pricing page and may change with reasonable notice.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle at the then-current price for your tier and cadence, unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time from Settings → Billing; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to the paid features until then.

Trials. A free trial, where offered, ends automatically on the date stated at signup. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your selected plan begins and your saved payment method is charged the first periodic fee.

Taxes. Prices shown on the pricing page exclude applicable taxes unless explicitly marked otherwise. Where required by law, taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) are calculated and collected at checkout based on the billing address you provide.

Failed payment. If a renewal payment fails, we will retry per Stripe’s standard smart-retry schedule and may downgrade or suspend paid features until payment is received. We email you before suspension.

Refunds. Except where required by applicable consumer-protection law, paid amounts are non-refundable. Annual cadences switched to monthly mid-term are not credited. One-off purchases (report packs) are refundable within fourteen days of purchase if the deliverable has not yet been downloaded.

Consumer right of withdrawal. If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have a fourteen-day right of withdrawal from the date of purchase. By starting to use the Service during that period you expressly agree that PulseLight may begin performance immediately and you acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once performance has begun.

Payments are processed by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (“Stripe”). By providing a payment method at checkout you agree to be bound by Stripe’s applicable terms, including the Stripe Services Agreement and Stripe Privacy Policy.

PulseLight does not see, store, or transmit your full card number, CVC, or other PAN data. That information is collected directly by Stripe via Stripe Checkout or Stripe Elements, hosted on Stripe’s PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant infrastructure. We receive only the metadata Stripe returns to us (last four digits, brand, country, billing email, subscription identifiers).

Chargebacks and disputes. If you dispute a charge with your card issuer instead of contacting us, we may suspend your account pending resolution. Please get in touch first — most billing concerns can be resolved without a dispute.

The Service is provided as is and as available. PulseLight does not warrant that the Service will detect every security issue, that findings will be free of false positives or false negatives, or that the Service will identify every regression introduced by an AI-generated change.

PulseLight is a tooling layer, not a substitute for professional security review, penetration testing, code review, or legal compliance audit. You are responsible for the production-readiness of your application.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PulseLight disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PulseLight’s total cumulative liability arising out of or related to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid PulseLight in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) one hundred pounds sterling.

PulseLight is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PulseLight and its officers, employees, and agents from and against claims arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, your Customer Data, or your violation of third-party rights.

You may close your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, fail to pay, or use the Service in a way that materially harms other users or third parties. We will give reasonable notice where practicable.

On termination: your access ends, your Customer Data is retained for a reasonable cooldown period (during which you may request export), and is then deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may change the Service or these Terms over time. Material changes will be announced via in-app notice and / or email to workspace owners at least fourteen days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to a change, you may cancel.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, except where mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence apply.
