Terms of Service
Effective 1 October 2026
These terms are a binding agreement between you and Chimpy ("we", "us"), the operator of Notchset (https://notchset.dev). They cover the website, your account, the Notchset registry, the MCP server and everything else we provide (the "Service"). By using the Service, creating an account, installing an item or buying a licence, you accept them. If you accept for an organisation, you confirm you can bind it, and "you" means that organisation. A business customer is an organisation, or an individual acting for the purposes of their trade, business, craft or profession, except anyone entitled to consumer protection under applicable mandatory law, who keeps the consumer protections in these terms. If you don't accept these terms, don't use the Service.
1. Who sells to you
Purchases are made through Dodo Payments, Inc., our reseller and Merchant of Record. Dodo Payments is the seller of record and handles payment, invoices, sales tax and VAT, and payment disputes under its Buyer Terms. Dodo's Buyer Terms govern its sale and payment relationship with you; these terms and the Notchset Licence govern the Service and the rights we grant in the Items. Neither changes the other's obligations or your mandatory consumer rights.
2. Accounts and keys
You must be at least 18 to buy a licence. Keep your sign-in email and registry keys secret; you are responsible for what is done with them. Revoke a key from your account if you think it has leaked.
3. What you buy
Your purchase includes the Items, seats and access stated at checkout. Prices are in US dollars; taxes may be added at checkout. The price at checkout is the price you pay. Lifetime purchases don't renew. Offers and launch prices may change or end at any time.
4. Licence and ownership
Free Items are licensed under the MIT License. Pro Items are licensed, not sold, under the Notchset Licence. We and our licensors own the Service, the Items, and the Notchset name and brand; everything not expressly licensed to you is reserved.
5. Acceptable use
You must not:
- access Pro Items without a licence that covers them, or share, sell or publish registry keys;
- scrape, mirror, proxy or bulk-download the registry or the MCP server beyond what your own permitted projects need;
- probe, attack, overload or get around the security or rate limits of the Service;
- use the Service unlawfully, to infringe anyone's rights, or in breach of export-control or sanctions laws that apply to you.
We may refuse or suspend supply where reasonably necessary to comply with laws that apply to us or our reseller.
6. Refunds
Refunds follow the Refund Policy. Change-of-mind refunds after supply are not offered; mandatory consumer remedies remain available.
7. Changes to the Service
We may modify the Service for security, legal compliance or necessary technical reasons, at no extra cost to consumers. Where a change affects a consumer's access or use more than slightly, we will give reasonable advance notice by email and any statutory right to end the contract free of charge, unless access that still conforms remains available at no extra cost. Versions you have downloaded stay licensed under the Licence.
8. Disclaimer
Except for the commitments in the Licence and the Refund Policy, and to the fullest extent the law allows, the Service and the Items are provided "as is" and "as available", without other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and without any promise that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. You are responsible for reviewing, testing and securing what you build, including code produced or changed by AI tools using our Items or documentation.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows:
- for business customers, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill to the extent they are indirect or consequential;
- our total liability arising from a purchase is limited to the licence fees paid to Dodo Payments for that purchase, excluding taxes; for anything provided free of charge, US$50.
These limits don't apply to fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, mandatory consumer remedies, or any other liability that the law doesn't allow us to exclude or limit.
10. Indemnity
If you are a business customer, you will indemnify us against third-party claims, and reasonable defence costs, to the extent caused by your unlawful redistribution of Pro Items, your material breach of the Licence, or infringement arising from material you supply or changes you make. This doesn't cover claims caused by our breach or negligence, or by infringement in Items as we supplied them. We will notify you promptly, let you control the defence with competent counsel, and cooperate reasonably. No settlement may admit fault on our behalf or impose obligations on us without our written consent.
11. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may terminate a Pro licence for a material breach of these terms or the Licence that isn't remedied within 14 days of our notice, or immediately for intentional unauthorised redistribution or a breach that can't reasonably be remedied. We may suspend access immediately where reasonably necessary to prevent a security risk or unauthorised access. The Licence explains what happens to code you have shipped. Sections 4 and 8 to 14 survive termination.
12. Changes to these terms
The version you accepted when you bought continues to govern that purchase. We will notify account holders at least 30 days before material changes to the ongoing terms of the Service take effect, unless the law requires a shorter period. Where the law requires your express agreement, a change applies to you only once you agree.
13. Disputes
Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of India. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods doesn't apply. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live.
Talk to us first. Please email support@notchset.dev so we can try to resolve a dispute within 30 days. This doesn't prevent urgent proceedings, regulatory complaints or steps needed to preserve a claim.
Business customers: arbitration. Any arbitrable dispute between a business customer and us concerning these terms, the Licence or the Service will be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Mumbai Centre for International Arbitration (MCIA) under its rules, before one arbitrator appointed under those rules. The seat is Mumbai, India, the language is English, hearings will be held online unless the tribunal decides another format is needed for a fair process, and the arbitration agreement is governed by Indian law. Subject to this and to mandatory jurisdiction rules, the competent courts at Mumbai, India have exclusive jurisdiction over business disputes that aren't arbitrable.
Consumers. These terms don't require consumers to arbitrate. Consumers may use any court, tribunal or complaint forum available to them under applicable law.
Either side may seek interim or conservatory relief, including to protect intellectual property, or the recognition or enforcement of an award, in any competent court, without waiving arbitration of arbitrable claims.
This section covers disputes with us; it doesn't govern disputes between you and Dodo Payments.
14. General
These terms, the Licence, the Refund Policy and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, it is limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force. Not enforcing a right isn't a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms without our written consent; we may assign them in a sale or reorganisation of the business. Neither side is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages of payment, hosting or email providers. If these terms are translated, the English version governs.
