Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By placing an order on beelab.sh, downloading Beelab, or accepting delivery of Beelab hardware, you agree to these Terms. Beelab is operated by Samad Ballaj as an independent maker. References to “we,” “us,” “Beelab,” and “the Seller” mean the same person.

If you are buying on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind it. If you do not agree, do not place an order and do not use the Software.

2. License grant

The Beelab Software is licensed under the Functional Source License, Version 1.1, ALv2 Future License (FSL-1.1-ALv2). The complete license text is published at /license.

In short: you get a license to run, copy, and modify the Software on your own hardware for your own organization. You may redistribute copies and modifications only under these same terms, with the copyright notices intact. You cannot resell Beelab, redistribute it as a competing service, or offer it as a hosted service to others (a Competing Use under the FSL). Two years after we release a given version, that version is also offered to you under Apache License 2.0, at which point the Competing Use restriction on that version ends.

Hardware and printed materials are sold as goods, not licensed. You own the physical items you buy.

3. Your responsibilities

• You are responsible for the security of your account, your credentials, and the network Beelab runs on.
• You are responsible for compliance with the laws of your country, state, and city: import, export, encryption, broadcasting, self-hosting and processing of personal data.
• You will not use the Software to host illegal content, send unsolicited bulk email, run a botnet, or attack third-party systems.
• You will not remove copyright notices, license headers, or the traceable LICENSE file shipped with Beelab.

4. Warranty and liability cap

Software. The Beelab Software, services, and documentation are licensed “as is” and “as available,” with no warranty. We disclaim all warranties for the Software to the maximum extent allowed by law, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade. Software licenses are not covered by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies to tangible consumer goods.

Hardware. Beelab assembled hardware carries a 30-day Limited Warrantycovering Beelab's assembly and workmanship only. If a unit fails within 30 days of delivery due to a defect in how Beelab assembled or configured it, we will repair it, replace it, or refund it at our option. The enterprise PC, drives, network cards, and other components carry their own manufacturer warranties, which pass through to you and are not extended by Beelab. The full terms of this Limited Warranty are on this page and are available for you to read before you buy. This Limited Warranty does not cover normal wear, accidental damage, misuse, your own modifications, or third-party parts you add. Where the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or your local consumer-protection law gives you stronger rights on consumer goods, those rights apply.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or Beelab will not exceed the total amount you paid Beelab for the specific product or service that gave rise to the claim during the twelve (12) months immediately before the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

5. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your use of Beelab in violation of these Terms, your violation of law, or your infringement of a third party's rights.

We agree to defend and indemnify you against third-party claims that the unmodified, current version of the Beelab Software, used as documented, infringes that third party's copyright in the United States, subject to the liability cap in section 4. This mutual indemnification does not extend to: (a) modifications you or a third party made; (b) combinations with software, hardware, or data we did not provide; or (c) your continued use after we provide a non-infringing replacement.

6. Shipping, lead times, and customs

Hardware orders ship from a single fulfilment location. Lead times posted on the site are typical based on prior orders. They are not guaranteed delivery dates and do not create an enforceable deadline.

Title and risk of loss pass to you when the carrier accepts the shipment. You are the importer of record. Customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, and any local restrictions on encryption or radio equipment are your responsibility. We will work with you on documentation but will not under-declare value.

7. Modifications

We may modify these Terms by posting an updated version with a new “Last updated” date. For material changes that reduce your rights, we will use reasonable efforts to notify reservation holders and active customers by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Software after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

We may add, change, or remove product tiers, prices, and services at any time. Price changes do not apply retroactively to a completed purchase.

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the U.S. state in which the Seller is resident at the time of your purchase, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence still applies if it gives you stronger rights.

9. Dispute resolution

We want to fix problems before they become disputes. Email [email protected] first and give us 30 days to make it right.

If we cannot resolve it informally, you can pick one of two paths:

1. Small claims courtin the Seller's county of residence. This is the simplest path for typical consumer-sized claims and does not require a lawyer.
2. Binding arbitrationadministered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, by a single arbitrator, with the proceedings conducted in English and held in the Seller's county of residence (or by video, at your option). Each side pays its own fees as set by AAA rules.

You and we each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative action, to the maximum extent allowed by law. Nothing in this section prevents either of us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

10. Termination

You may stop using Beelab at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to private support channels, early-access builds, or hosted dashboards if you breach these Terms or use Beelab to harm others.

Termination does not refund a completed purchase outside the windows described in /refund. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (license, disclaimer, liability cap, indemnification, governing law, dispute resolution) survive.
