Terms

Terms of Service

Effective May 1, 2026

These terms (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Champlin Enterprises, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “Champlin Enterprises”) for your use of artifact-host (the “Service”). By signing up, deploying a site, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

The short version. Use the Service for legal stuff. Don’t host malware, phishing pages, spam, or content you don’t have rights to. We can suspend accounts that abuse the Service. We provide it as-is and our liability is capped. If you disagree with these terms, don’t use the Service.

1. Eligibility & account

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
You must provide a valid email address and keep it current.
You are responsible for keeping your API key and any session cookies secret. Notify us promptly if you suspect compromise.
One person or entity per account is fine; do not impersonate others.

2. The Service

artifact-host hosts static websites (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and asset files) at a subdomain we assign you, and optionally at custom domains you point at us. Deploys can be performed via the HTTP API, the MCP server, or the web dashboard. The Service is provided as a free tier today; paid tiers may be introduced in the future with advance notice.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to host, store, transmit, or distribute:

Malware, ransomware, viruses, browser exploits, or any code intended to harm devices or users.
Phishing pages, fraud sites, fake login pages, or content that impersonates third parties to deceive.
Content that infringes copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights.
Content that is illegal, defamatory, harassing, threatening, or that incites violence.
Sexually explicit material involving minors (CSAM). Reports will be forwarded to NCMEC and law enforcement.
Spam, unsolicited bulk email landing pages, or content that supports spam operations.
Cryptocurrency miners, drainers, or wallet-stealing pages.
Content that violates applicable export control or sanctions laws.
Material designed to evade ad networks, app stores, or platform policies through cloaking or redirection.

You also agree not to:

Run server-side processes — the Service is for static files only. We do not execute uploaded scripts.
Attempt to access another account, file, or system you are not authorized to access.
Probe, scan, or test the security of the Service except as permitted in our security policy.
Use the Service in a way that overloads or impairs it (deliberate denial-of-service, abusive crawl traffic from your sites, etc.).
Resell or sublicense the Service without our written permission.

4. Your content

You retain all ownership of the files and content you deploy. By deploying, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, transmit, display, and serve those files solely as needed to operate the Service. We do not claim ownership of, sell, or license your content to third parties.

You represent that you have all necessary rights to the content you deploy and that the content does not violate these Terms.

5. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your account, or remove specific sites, if:

You violate these Terms or applicable law;
Your account is implicated in a security incident or active abuse;
We receive a valid takedown notice (DMCA, court order, etc.);
Your account has been inactive for more than 12 months and we have given reasonable notice.

For non-emergency violations we will normally email you first and give you a chance to fix the issue. For active abuse (live malware, phishing) we will remove first and notify afterward. You may close your account at any time by emailing us; see the Privacy Policy for what happens to your data.

6. Service availability

We aim for high availability but do not promise a specific uptime. The Service is provided on a best-effort basis. We may perform maintenance, deploy updates, or change features at any time. We will give reasonable notice of changes that materially reduce functionality.

7. DMCA / copyright takedowns

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to kevin@kevinchamplin.com with: identification of the work, the URL of the infringing content, your contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act, and your physical or electronic signature. We will respond promptly. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that defects will be corrected.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Champlin Enterprises, LLC, its members, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Our total cumulative liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100).

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Champlin Enterprises, LLC and its members from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Service, (b) content you deploy, or (c) your violation of these Terms.

11. Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for any dispute arising under these Terms is the state and federal courts located in Lake County, Illinois, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top will reflect the most recent change. Material changes will be announced by email to active accounts at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

13. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms together with the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
Severability. If any part of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest remain in effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
