Terms of Use
Steeple Systems, Inc.
Effective: July 15, 2026
Last updated: July 15, 2026
These terms govern your use of steeple.systems and the Steeple application (together, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use it.
If your organization has signed a services agreement with us, that agreement governs the Service your organization receives. These terms cover website use and account access. Where the two conflict, the signed agreement wins.
1. Who we are
Steeple Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Contact: chad@steeple.systems.
2. Who can use this
You must be at least 18 and able to enter a contract. If you're using the Service for an organization, you represent that you're authorized to bind that organization to these terms, and "you" means both you and the organization.
3. Accounts
You're responsible for what happens under your account, for keeping your credentials secure, and for the accuracy of the information you give us. Tell us promptly at chad@steeple.systems if you think your account has been compromised.
We may suspend or close an account that violates these terms, creates risk for us or other customers, or is used unlawfully.
4. Your content, and ours
Yours stays yours. You keep all rights in the content, data, and materials you provide to the Service, and in your destination's knowledge base ("Customer Content"). We claim no ownership.
You grant us a limited license to host, process, transmit, and display Customer Content solely to provide the Service to you, and to make it available to your organization's other authorized users. That license ends when you stop using the Service, except for backups retained on ordinary schedules.
You are responsible for having the rights to whatever you give us, including images, marks, and third-party materials.
Output. As between you and us, work product Steeple generates for you from your Customer Content is yours. Two honest caveats. First, AI output may not be eligible for copyright protection under U.S. law, and we can't promise otherwise. Second, similar outputs may be generated for other customers; we don't grant exclusivity over generic material, but we don't provide your Customer Content to other customers.
You review before it goes out. Steeple produces drafts and recommendations. Nothing publishes without approval from an authorized person at your organization. You are responsible for what you approve and for anything published under your organization's name.
Ours stays ours. The Service, the software, the design, our name, and our marks belong to us. These terms don't transfer any of it to you.
Feedback. If you send us suggestions, we can use them without obligation to you.
5. Acceptable use
Don't:
- Break the law, or use the Service to help anyone else break it.
- Infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights.
- Upload malware, or try to breach, probe, or overload the Service.
- Reverse engineer the Service, or try to extract our source code or models, except where law says you may despite this restriction.
- Use the Service to build a competing product, or to benchmark it for a competitor.
- Scrape or bulk-extract from the Service by automated means without our written permission.
- Publish output you know to be false in a way that misleads the public.
- Resell or sublicense access without our written permission.
- Impersonate anyone, including us.
6. Third-party services
The Service connects to third-party platforms at your direction, including Google and Meta properties. Your use of those platforms is governed by their terms, not ours. We aren't responsible for their availability, their behavior, or changes they make to their APIs. If a platform cuts off access, the affected part of the Service may stop working, and that isn't a breach by us.
Our site includes third-party embeds and links. We don't control them and we don't endorse them.
7. AI output
You should know how this works:
Steeple's output is generated by large language models. It can be wrong. It can be confidently wrong. It can state something about your destination that is out of date or invented.
Everything Steeple produces is a draft for your review. It isn't legal, financial, or professional advice, and it isn't a substitute for your judgment or your team's. Verify facts before you publish them. The approval gate exists because this caveat is real, not because it's polite.
8. Free access, pilots, and evaluations
We sometimes provide access at no charge or under a pilot or memorandum of understanding. Free and pilot access is provided as-is, may change or end at any time, and carries no service commitment unless a signed agreement says otherwise.
9. Fees
Paid subscriptions are governed by your signed services agreement, including price, term, renewal, and escalation. Where no signed agreement exists, fees are as stated at purchase, are payable in advance, and are non-refundable except where law requires otherwise or we say so in writing. You are responsible for applicable taxes.
10. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. Termination of a paid subscription is governed by your signed agreement.
We may suspend access immediately for non-payment, for a violation of Section 5, or where continued access creates legal or security risk. Where practical, we'll tell you first.
On termination, we'll provide an export of your Customer Content on request. Sections 4 (ownership), 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 survive.
11. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, 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 OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE.
Some jurisdictions don't allow these exclusions, in which case they apply to the extent permitted.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS.
These limits don't apply to liability that cannot be limited by law.
13. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your Customer Content, your use of the Service in violation of these terms or law, or content your organization publishes after approving it.
14. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Collin County, Texas have exclusive jurisdiction, and both parties consent to that venue.
Before filing anything, email chad@steeple.systems and give us thirty days to work it out. Most things get resolved this way.
Nothing here limits any right a public entity has under applicable state law regarding venue, sovereign immunity, or contracting authority.
15. General
Changes. We may update these terms. Material changes will be posted here with a new effective date, and account holders will get notice by email or in the product. Continued use after a change means you accept it.
Entire agreement. These terms, the Privacy Policy, and any signed services agreement are the whole agreement between us on this subject.
Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stands.
No waiver. If we don't enforce something, that's not a waiver.
Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events outside its reasonable control.
Notices. To us: chad@steeple.systems. To you: the email on your account.
