Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SkinnyStatus at skinnystatus.app and related services (the "Service"). The Service is operated by Boxing Octopus Creative ("we", "us", or "our"), a company based in Ontario, Canada. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Agreement to terms

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization.

2. Description of service

SkinnyStatus is a status monitoring and publishing platform. Depending on your configuration, the Service may include:

• Uptime and health checks against endpoints you configure
• Status pages that display service and overall status
• Publishing status pages to hosts you connect (for example Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, S3, and similar providers)
• Incident creation and updates on status pages
• Email subscription notifications for status page subscribers

Features may change over time. We may add, modify, or discontinue capabilities with reasonable notice when practical.

3. Accounts and eligibility

You must provide accurate account information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for activity under your credentials and for safeguarding passwords and OAuth-linked accounts. When enabled, you may sign in with third-party OAuth providers such as GitHub or Google. You must be able to form a binding contract under applicable law to use the Service.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Abuse monitoring features (for example, excessive or hostile probing of third-party systems)
• Publish illegal, infringing, or harmful content on status pages
• Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt unauthorized access to the Service or related systems
• Scrape or automate access in ways that degrade or harm the Service
• Misrepresent affiliation with SkinnyStatus or Boxing Octopus Creative

5. Customer content and status pages

You retain ownership of content you submit to the Service, including status page copy, service definitions, check configurations, and incident updates ("Customer Content"). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, display, and publish Customer Content as needed to operate and provide the Service, including publishing to hosts you configure.

You are responsible for Customer Content and for ensuring you have rights to use and publish it. Public status pages and published sites may be visible to anyone with the URL or domain you configure.

6. Third-party services

The Service may integrate with third parties, including OAuth providers, Mailgun (email), Cloudflare Turnstile (bot protection), deploy hosts you connect, object storage (such as R2), and error monitoring (such as Sentry when configured). Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services or their availability.

7. Service availability

We strive to keep SkinnyStatus available and useful, but the Service is provided on a best-effort basis. Monitoring results and status displays are informational tools. They are not a guarantee of uptime, correctness, or availability of your own systems or third-party services you monitor.

8. Fees

SkinnyStatus may currently be offered free of charge or in a beta capacity. We may introduce or change pricing with notice. Continued use after fee changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated pricing, unless you stop using the Service before then.

9. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if continued use poses risk to the Service or others. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Provisions that by nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BOXING OCTOPUS CREATIVE AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $100). NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE CANADIAN LAW.

11. Indemnification

You will defend and indemnify Boxing Octopus Creative and its personnel against claims, damages, and expenses arising from your Customer Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

12. Changes to terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms with a revised "Last updated" date. Material changes may also be communicated through the Service or by email when practical. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would require another jurisdiction's laws. Subject to applicable consumer-protection rights that cannot be waived, you agree that the courts of Ontario (and the federal courts sitting in Ontario) have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Service.
