Terms of Service

Effective date: 5 June 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you", "Customer") and Silkway Tech LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company with a mailing address at 5830 E 2nd St, Ste 7000 #30294, Casper, WY 82609, USA ("Company", "we", "us"), governing your access to and use of the Railbase software, plugins, marketplace, license keys, documentation, and the website at railbase.app (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, purchasing a plan or plugin, downloading the software, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization.

1. The Service

Railbase is a self-hosted backend platform distributed as a downloadable binary, together with optional first- and third-party plugins licensed on a per-seat basis. The Company operates the website, the plugin marketplace, the licensing/distribution server, and billing. Some components are free; others require a paid license. Self-hosting means you are responsible for the servers, data, and environment on which you run the software.

2. Accounts & eligibility

You must provide accurate account information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and legally able to enter into contracts. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law (see Section 14, Export & sanctions).

3. License grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, the Company grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the purchased software and plugins, for the number of seats/roles you have paid for, for your internal business purposes, for the duration of your active subscription or license term.

You may not: (a) redistribute, resell, sublicense, rent, or lease the software or plugins except as expressly permitted; (b) remove or circumvent license keys, seat limits, or technical protection measures; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any object-code component except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law; (d) use the Service to build a competing distribution or marketplace; or (e) exceed the seats/roles you have licensed. License keys are issued and validated by the Company's licensing server; tampering with or sharing keys beyond your paid seats is a material breach.

Open-source components (if any) are licensed under their own terms, which control for those components.

4. Orders, pricing, seats & billing

Pricing is shown on the marketplace and may include a per-seat price that varies by role (for example, a plugin may price one role at $5/seat and another at $8/seat). Paid plans are billed through our payment processor, Stripe; by purchasing you also agree to Stripe's terms. Unless stated otherwise, subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods at the then-current price until cancelled, and you authorize recurring charges to your payment method. You can cancel future renewals from your account; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.

Seat/role changes and plan changes may be prorated. We may change prices on renewal with reasonable notice. Failed payments may result in dunning, suspension, or license deactivation.

5. Taxes

Prices are exclusive of taxes unless stated. You are responsible for any VAT, GST, sales, use, or similar taxes arising from your purchase, except for taxes on the Company's net income. Where we are required to collect such taxes, they will be added at checkout.

6. Refunds

Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partial periods, unused seats, or downgrades.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including the Railbase software, plugins, marketplace, documentation, trademarks, and all related IP, is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by law. These Terms grant you a license, not a sale; all rights not expressly granted are reserved. You retain all rights to your own data processed by software you self-host.

8. Acceptable use

You will not use the Service to: violate law; infringe third-party rights; transmit malware; attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or others' systems; or interfere with the licensing/marketplace infrastructure. We may suspend access for violations.

9. Third-party services

The Service integrates third-party services (for example, Stripe for payments, and the providers listed in our Privacy Policy). We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them is governed by their terms.

10. Warranties & disclaimers

The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that defects will be corrected. Because you self-host, you are solely responsible for backups, security, and compliance of your deployment.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill. The Company's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to the Company in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold the Company harmless from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your data, or your breach of these Terms.

13. Term & termination

These Terms apply while you use the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access or licenses for breach (including non-payment) or as required by law. On termination, your right to use paid software and plugins ends; Sections that by their nature should survive (IP, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, governing law) survive.

14. Export & sanctions compliance

The Service may be subject to U.S. export controls and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, or a national of, a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. restricted-party list. You will not export or use the Service in violation of applicable export/sanctions laws.

15. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for disputes is the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to their jurisdiction. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

16. Changes to the Service & Terms

We may modify the Service or these Terms. If we make material changes to the Terms, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by posting the updated Terms with a new effective date or by email). Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

17. General

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Notices to the Company should be sent to the address above or legal@railbase.app.
