Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-22 · Plain-English version

The 30-second TL;DR

1 · Account eligibility

2 · Pricing (one-time, not a subscription)

3 · Content acceptance policy

Acceptable content

Refused content (we will remove it and may terminate the account)

4 · Intellectual property

5 · Acceptable use

6 · Privacy reference

See /privacy for the full Privacy Policy. Key commitments:

7 · Cancellation and refunds

8 · 30-day wind-down clause (NOT insurance)

Important legal posture: Fablely is a small indie SaaS, not a regulated financial service, not insurance, and not a trust. We hold no escrow. The commitments below are operational, not financial guarantees.

If Fablely ceases operations under our control, we commit to:

No financial guarantee. In the event of involuntary cessation (bankruptcy, founder incapacitation, regulatory action), the commitments above may become impossible to fulfill. This is why we strongly encourage every user to print at least one hardcover book — your physical copy is the only Fablely-independent backup that survives any outcome.

The FVAF archive format is open and documented on GitHub, so a third-party reader can always open your exported data.

9 · One-time purchases

Fablely gifts (and the Forever Family Keepsake) are one-time consumer purchases of a digital service and optional printed goods. They are:

You pay once for each gift you choose to send. The Forever Family Keepsake is a one-time purchase that includes unlimited gifts, an annual hardcover-book credit, and a family tree for the life of your account.

10 · Disclaimers

11 · Limitation of liability

12 · Governing law

13 · Changes to these terms

14 · Heir designation (operational, not legal)

15 · Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is severable from these Terms and the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

16 · Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any specific terms presented at the point of purchase (e.g., a gift purchase confirmation), constitute the entire agreement between you and Northbright Labs LLC concerning the Fablely service. They supersede any prior agreements, communications, or representations.

17 · No waiver

Our failure or delay in enforcing any right or provision of these Terms does not waive that right or provision. A waiver of any provision is effective only if in writing and signed by us.

18 · Force majeure

Fablely is not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events outside our reasonable control, including (without limitation) acts of God, natural disasters, internet or infrastructure outages, third-party provider failures (Vercel, Supabase, Resend, Cloudflare, Anthropic), cyberattacks, governmental action, war, terrorism, or pandemic-related disruptions. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you and restore service.

19 · Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your Fablely account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law, subject to the 30-day wind-down notice obligation in Section 8.
