Starhold Render

Terms of service

Use Render to render pages and content you have the right to render. Do not abuse it. We may stop a key that is abused and refund the unused time. We never charge more than your plan or upgrade you without a click. The service comes without warranty.

1. What this is

Render turns HTML, templates or public web pages into images and PDFs through an HTTP API. It is provided by Copper Jerky LLC, an Arizona limited liability company doing business as Starhold ("we", "us"). These terms add to Starhold's general terms for its products.

2. Render only what you may

  1. Render only content you own or have the right to render.
  2. Do not render pages behind a login, a paywall or a CAPTCHA, and do not get around a site's access controls.
  3. Do not scrape sites at volume.
  4. Do not use the service for phishing, malware, child sexual abuse material or anything unlawful.
  5. Do not try to reach private networks or our own systems through the service. Those requests are refused.

The acceptable use page says more. A site owner can ask us to stop fetching their domain; see the bot page.

3. Accounts and keys

You sign in with a Starhold Account. Keep your API key and signing secret private. You are responsible for what is rendered with them. You can create, rotate or revoke your key, and rotate your signing secret, on your dashboard.

4. Plans and billing

  1. Each plan is a monthly allowance of renders, counted per UTC calendar month. It is not a credit and does not expire or roll over.
  2. At the limit, renders stop with an error. We never bill beyond your plan and never upgrade you automatically.
  3. Payments are handled by Polar, our merchant of record. Their terms govern the payment itself.
  4. You can cancel any time from your dashboard, which takes you to your Starhold Account. The plan ends at once and we refund the unused part of the period pro rata.

5. Suspension

We may suspend a key or an account that breaks these terms. If we do, we refund the unused time pro rata, unless the abuse was fraud. We will say why when we can.

6. No warranty

The service is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that output is accurate or complete, that a page will render the same way twice, or that the service will always be available.

7. Limit of liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits or revenue. Our total liability for all claims about the service will not exceed the greater of what you paid us in the twelve months before the event, or one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Nothing here limits rights you have under the consumer law where you live, or any liability the law does not allow us to limit.

7a. Misuse

If you use the service unlawfully or against these terms (for example to attack other sites or to render content you have no right to), you are responsible for the harm that causes and will cover our reasonable losses from it. This applies to misuse only. We do not ask you to cover anything else.

8. Changes

We may change these terms. For a material change we give notice before it applies, and you may cancel with a prorated refund of the unused part of your period if you do not agree. We change the date below for every change.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes go to the state or federal courts in Pima County, Arizona. If you are a consumer, you also keep the right to bring a claim in the courts of the place where you live, and the mandatory consumer law there still applies. Before going to court, please write to us and give us 30 days to put it right. There is no class-action waiver.
