Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

These terms govern your use of Hinode, a cloud workstation service operated by Eternity Cat, LLC. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use Hinode.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 and able to enter a binding contract. If you use Hinode for an organization, you confirm you may accept these terms on its behalf.

3. Your account

Keep your login credentials secure and your account details accurate. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. Tell us at support@hinode.run if you suspect unauthorized use.

4. Plans and billing

Hinode offers monthly subscriptions and hourly pay-as-you-go billing. You choose at signup and can switch later. Payments are processed by Stripe.

Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. Pay-as-you-go usage, storage overage, and Boost are billed by the hour. Except where the law requires, payments are non-refundable.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Break the law or infringe others' rights.
• Mine cryptocurrency, send spam, or run denial-of-service attacks.
• Probe, breach, or disrupt the service or its security.
• Resell or share access in ways the plan does not allow.
• Store or process content you have no right to.

6. Service availability

We work to keep Hinode available and reliable, but we provide it on an as-available basis. We may change, suspend, or stop features, and we may run maintenance that interrupts service.

7. Your content and data

You own the files, code, and data you put on your workstation. You grant us only the access we need to host, back up, and operate the service. You are responsible for keeping your own backups of anything important.

8. Intellectual property

Hinode, its software, and its branding belong to Eternity Cat, LLC, except for components we release under open-source licenses, which are governed by those licenses.

9. Termination

You can close your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or put the service or other users at risk. After termination, we may delete your data as described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Disclaimers

Hinode is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Eternity Cat, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will post the new version here and update the date above. If you keep using Hinode after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where Eternity Cat, LLC is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
