Terms of Service

Last updated 12 August 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the tissue.systems platform, websites, APIs, and command-line tools (together, the "Service"), operated by Tissue Systems ("Tissue", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

01 Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account and are responsible for all activity that occurs under it, including activity by any API tokens you issue. Keep your credentials and tokens secret; notify us promptly at security@tissue.systems if you believe they have been compromised. During the beta period, access is granted by invitation, and we may add or revoke access at our discretion.

An account can have more than one person on it. Each person holds a role — owner, admin, or member — that bounds what they can do, and an owner or admin can invite someone, change their role, or remove them. Inviting someone gives them access to the account's content within their role, and the account remains responsible for what they do with it. Removing someone ends their sessions and deletes the API tokens they issued on the account.

02 Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• violate any law, or infringe the intellectual-property or privacy rights of others;
• send spam, host malware, or run phishing or other fraudulent operations;
• mine cryptocurrency, or run workloads whose primary purpose is to consume compute rather than serve your application;
• attack, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, its infrastructure, or other users' Cells and data;
• knowingly deploy code that disrupts, degrades, or overloads the platform.

We may suspend Cells or accounts that threaten the stability, security, or lawful operation of the Service.

03 Your content

You retain all rights to the code, data, and other content you deploy or store on the Service ("Your Content"). You grant us the limited licence needed to host, execute, transmit, and back up Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service. You are responsible for having the rights necessary to use Your Content and for ensuring it complies with these Terms.

04 Service availability & beta

The Service is currently offered as a beta. It is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis and may change, break, or be discontinued. Features, limits, and pricing may change during and after the beta. We publish current operational status at tissue.systems/status.

05 Fees

The Service is free to use during the beta, subject to reasonable-use limits. When paid plans are introduced we will give notice before charging you, and continued use after that point constitutes acceptance of the applicable fees. See Pricing for current details.

06 Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. An owner can close an account from the dashboard; closing schedules it for deletion after seven days, during which the account keeps serving and any owner can cancel. When that period ends we delete the account and its content, as described in section 05 of the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms or if required to protect the Service or other users. On termination, Your Content may be deleted; export anything you wish to keep beforehand from the dashboard, the ribo CLI, or the API.

07 Disclaimers & liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tissue disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Tissue will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or data, arising out of your use of the Service.

08 Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
