Terms of Service

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you may use First Light only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these terms for you and is responsible for your use. You may not use First Light if we have previously closed your account for breaking these terms, or if you are barred from receiving services under the laws that apply to you.

You sign in with your email address, using a one-time code we send you, or with a passkey you add. Keep access to your email and devices secure. You are responsible for everything done through your account, including by people you invite to your apps. Tell us right away at support@fl.app if you think someone has accessed your account without permission.

You describe what you want in plain words. First Light uses artificial intelligence to build an app or website from that description, lets you refine it, and can host it, publish it at a First Light address or your own domain, and run features such as sign-in for your visitors, forms and data, file uploads, payments and email.

AI output can be wrong, incomplete or unexpected. Review what First Light builds before you publish it or rely on it, especially prices, legal text, health, safety or financial information, and anything your visitors will act on. You are responsible for the apps you publish.

We keep improving First Light, so features may change. If we remove something you pay for, we will tell you in advance where we reasonably can.

You own your content. "Your content" means what you give us (descriptions, messages, images, files, text, data) and the apps and sites First Light builds for you, including the data your apps collect from their visitors. As between you and us, you own your content and the output generated for you, to the extent the law allows anyone to own it.

Permission you give us. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, process, display and transmit your content only as needed to run, secure and improve the Service for you, including sending it to the service providers listed in our Privacy Policy. When you publish an app, it becomes a public website and you permit us to serve it to anyone who visits.

Similar output. AI can produce similar output for different people. Others may receive apps, designs or text that resemble yours, and that alone does not mean anyone copied you.

Your responsibilities. You confirm you have the rights to everything you give us, and that your apps and their use follow the law and our Acceptable Use Policy. If your app collects personal information from visitors, you are responsible for telling them how you use it and for having a lawful basis to collect it. For that data, we act on your instructions as your service provider (see section 7 of our Privacy Policy).

Image library. Images you upload to the builder are stored in a media library for your apps. Images used in a published app, and images in your builder library, are reachable by anyone who has their web address. Do not upload images you need to keep private.

Sparks are ready-made starting points that First Light and approved creators publish. You may use a spark to start your own app and change it however you like. Only creators we approve can publish sparks. If you are one, you grant everyone who uses your spark a licence to copy and change it for their own apps, and the preview image of your app becomes public.

You can invite others to work on an app as a Manager (builds, publishes and manages settings and team) or an Editor (builds and edits). Invitations expire after 7 days. The app's owner is responsible for the app and pays for the building its team does.

The owner can offer an app to another person. When they accept, they become the owner of its pages, data, media, team, publishing state and feature settings. Each account keeps its own balance and billing. Custom domains must be detached before a transfer.

All prices are in US dollars and are shown in the product before you pay. Prices do not include sales tax, value-added tax (VAT), or other applicable goods and services taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes associated with your purchases, which will be calculated and added at checkout based on your billing location.

Credits for building. Building and changing apps uses AI, which draws from a prepaid credit balance on your account. New accounts may receive starting credit. Each AI step is priced from the provider's usage at the rates shown in the product and deducted after it runs. The step that uses up your balance may take it slightly below zero; you then need to add credit before building more. If a build fails or you cancel it, we return what it used. You can add credit with a saved card, and you can turn on automatic reload, which charges your card a set amount when a build needs more than your balance. You can turn automatic reload off at any time.

Credits are not money. Credits have no cash value, cannot be transferred or exchanged, and are not refundable except where the law requires. Credits do not expire. If you delete your account, any remaining credit is forfeited, and we tell you this before you confirm.

Publishing. Keeping an app published is a monthly subscription for that app, charged to your saved card at the price shown when you publish. It renews each month until you unpublish. If a renewal payment fails, we retry it and give you a grace period of 7 days, after which the app goes offline. When you unpublish, the app stays online until the end of the period you already paid for; you can publish again during that period without paying again. We do not give prorated refunds for partial months.

Domains. You can buy a domain through First Light or connect one you already own. A bought domain is registered through our registrar partner and charged to your card at the price shown, and it renews each year about 45 days before it expires unless you turn renewal off or transfer it away. We register it in our name through our registrar partner and hold it for your use while you keep paying for it, so its public registration record shows our details, not yours. You decide where it points from First Light. You can move it to a registrar or account of your own: contact support@fl.app and we will unlock it and send you the transfer code, subject to registry rules (for example, most domains cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or a previous transfer). Once the transfer completes, the domain is yours at the new registrar and we stop renewing it. If renewal is turned off or a renewal payment fails, the domain may expire at the end of its paid term. You must transfer a bought domain away before you can delete your account. You are responsible for renewing and managing domains you connect yourself.

Payment processing. Card payments are processed by Stripe. By saving a card you authorise us to charge it for the purchases, renewals and automatic reloads you set up, without asking each time. If you dispute a charge, we may pause renewals on that account.

Refunds. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments are non-refundable. We refund automatically when we fail to deliver what you paid for, such as a domain we could not register. Contact support@fl.app if you think a charge is wrong.

Follow our Acceptable Use Policy. In short: no illegal content, no harm to others, no deceiving visitors, no attacks on the Service, and no using First Light to build services that break the law.

Your published apps are yours. You are responsible for your relationship with your visitors and customers, including your own terms, privacy notice, refunds, and anything you sell through your app. When your app takes payments, it uses your own payment account, and those payments are between you and your customers.

Some features connect to services we do not run, such as your own Stripe, OpenAI or Anthropic account, or your domain registrar. Your use of those services is under their terms. Keys you give us for them are stored encrypted and used only by your app's server.

You can unpublish apps, delete apps and delete your account at any time from your settings.

We may take an app offline, or suspend or close an account, if we reasonably believe it breaks these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, creates risk or legal exposure for us or others, or if we are required to by law. Where it is safe and lawful, we will tell you why and give you a chance to fix the problem first. If we close your account without cause, we will refund unused paid publishing periods and remaining purchased credit.

When an account is deleted, its apps, content and data are deleted and cannot be restored. We keep records we are required to keep, such as payment records.

We work to keep First Light available and your data safe, and we keep backups that let us restore an app's data to a point in the last 30 days. We do not promise the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Current status and incidents are published at status.fl.app.

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT AI OUTPUT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR LAWFUL.

TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE OR DATA, AND OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND US$100. THESE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU BUY, TO YOUR INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS, OR TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

You will defend and indemnify First Light against claims by third parties arising from your content, your apps, your dealings with your visitors and customers, or your breach of these terms or the law.

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will tell you by email or in the product at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you keep using First Light after that, the new terms apply. If you do not agree, you can stop using the Service and delete your account.

This Agreement and any disputes arising out of it will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Florida. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Except for small claims court matters, all disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA).

These terms, with the policies they refer to, are the whole agreement between us about the Service. If a part is unenforceable, the rest still applies. We may assign these terms in a merger or sale; you may not assign them without our consent. Not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.
