Terms

Draft, not yet in effect. The bracketed details are placeholders the owner will supply, and the text is pending owner and counsel review.

Who we are

Lacre is run by [legal entity name: owner to supply], [entity form and jurisdiction: owner to supply] (“we”). Reach us at [contact email: owner to supply].

What these terms cover

These terms cover this website, accounts created on it, and anything bought through it. The open-source Lacre Core and the offline verifier are licensed separately under the MIT licence in their source repository; these terms do not limit what that licence allows.

Accounts

You sign in with a link sent to your email address. Keep access to that address secure: anyone who can read it can sign in as you. You can sign out at any time from a signed-in page.

Purchases and payment

Prices are on the pricing page. Payments are taken by Stripe; we do not see or store your card number. Plans marked early access are not on sale and cannot be bought. An evidence bundle is a one-time purchase.

Refunds and cancellation

You can request a refund within [refund window in days: owner to supply] of purchase by writing to [contact email: owner to supply]. A subscription can be cancelled at any time in the billing portal on your account page; it stays active until the end of the period already paid for.

What the service does and does not prove

Lacre records signed, hash-chained receipts and can anchor a chain to a timestamp authority. A receipt shows what was recorded and that the record was not altered afterwards; it does not show that an action happened as described, or that every action was recorded. Using Lacre does not by itself meet the requirements of any law, regulation or standard. See Security for the limits in detail.

Acceptable use

Do not use the service to break the law, to attack or overload it or other systems, or to get around its limits or access controls.

Warranty and liability

The service is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Changes and governing law

We may update these terms; the effective date above changes when we do, and material changes are announced on this site before they apply. These terms are governed by [governing law and venue: owner to supply].

How we handle personal data is set out in the Privacy Policy.
