Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using RepoPrep (the "Software"), the RepoPrep website at repoprep.onrender.com (the "Website"), or any related service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not download, install, access, or use the Software or the Website.

You represent that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you are using the Software on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" shall refer to that organization.

2. Definitions

• "Lidprex Labs" refers to the software development division of Lodprex International that develops, maintains, and distributes the Software.
• "Software" means the RepoPrep desktop application for Windows, including all versions, releases, and updates, together with its documentation, configuration files, and associated materials.
• "Website" means the website operated at repoprep.onrender.com and any related subdomains.
• "You" or "your" means the individual or legal entity using the Software or the Website.
• "Your Content" means any files, folders, repositories, directories, source code, and data that you process, scan, clean, or flatten with the Software.

3. About the Software

RepoPrep is a professional project-cleaning tool. It scans local project folders, identifies build artifacts, dependency folders, caches, and other generated content (such as node_modules, venv, dist, and compiled output), and allows you to produce a cleaned, flattened copy of your project. The Software operates entirely on your local machine and does not require an internet connection to function.

The Software is provided for the purpose of helping developers prepare clean, portable copies of their codebases. It is designed to operate on files you already own or are lawfully permitted to process. You are solely responsible for the selection, use, and distribution of the content you process with the Software.

4. License Grant

Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, Lidprex Labs grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, and limited license to download, install, and use the Software on your own devices for your own lawful purposes, including commercial development, free of charge.

This license does not grant you any rights to: (a) sublicense, rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or otherwise transfer the Software in whole or in part, except as expressly permitted by applicable open source licenses; (b) remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices contained in or on the Software; or (c) use the Software to develop any product that could be considered a direct substitute or clone of the Software.

5. Restrictions & Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Software or the Website in any manner that:

• violates any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
• attempts to interfere with, disrupt, or circumvent the normal operation, security, or integrity of the Software or the Website;
• distributes, uploads, or processes malicious content, including but not limited to malware, ransomware, or harmful code;
• uses the Software to infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity;
• reverse engineers, decompiles, or disassembles the Software, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law; or
• misrepresents the origin of the Software or falsely claims affiliation with Lidprex Labs or Lidprex International.

6. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Software, the Website, their source code, documentation, trademarks (including "RepoPrep", "Lidprex Labs", and related marks), logos, and design materials are owned by Lidprex Labs and Lidprex International or their licensors, except where expressly licensed under an open source license. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.

Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as granting you any implied license, right, or interest in or to any intellectual property of Lidprex Labs or Lidprex International, except the limited license expressly granted in Section 4.

7. Open Source & Licenses

The Software is distributed under the MIT License. You are permitted to copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and sell copies of the Software subject to the terms of that license, provided that the copyright notice and permission notice are included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Any open source components embedded in the Software remain subject to their respective licenses. To the extent that any conflict arises between these Terms and an applicable open source license, the open source license shall prevail with respect to those components.

8. Your Content & Your Files

Your Content remains your property. Lidprex Labs does not claim any ownership, license, or other rights over the files you process with the Software. The Software reads your files only to analyze their structure for cleaning purposes and, when you request it, copies selected files to an output directory that you choose on your local machine.

You retain full responsibility for the accuracy, legality, and confidentiality of Your Content. You acknowledge that cleaning or flattening operations are irreversible if you do not keep backups, and you agree to make backups of any project you process with the Software.

9. Privacy & Data

Your privacy is important to us. The Software operates fully offline: it does not collect, store, or transmit personal data, usage statistics, crash reports, telemetry, or analytics. Your files never leave your machine.

For more information about how we handle data, please review our Privacy Policy. By using the Software and the Website, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

10. Third-Party Content & External Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, services, or products, including software distributions hosted on platforms such as GitHub and GitLab. These links are provided for your convenience only. Lidprex Labs does not control, endorse, or assume any responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party website or service.

Your use of any third-party website, service, or software is subject to that third party's own terms and privacy policies. You access any third-party resource at your own risk.

11. Updates & Changes to the Software

Lidprex Labs may, from time to time, release updates, improvements, new versions, or modifications to the Software. The Software does not include an automatic updater; updates are distributed manually through official release channels. You are responsible for downloading and installing any updates you wish to use.

Lidprex Labs does not guarantee that the Software will remain available, and reserves the right to discontinue, suspend, or modify the Software, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Software and the Website are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lidprex Labs and Lidprex International disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Lidprex Labs does not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of defects, nor that the results of operations performed using the Software — including any files cleaned, flattened, or otherwise processed — will be accurate, complete, or suitable for your intended use. You use the Software entirely at your own risk.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Lidprex Labs, Lidprex International, or their directors, officers, employees, agents, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of goodwill, or cost of procurement of substitute goods or services, arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the use of the Software or the Website, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of Lidprex Labs and Lidprex International arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the Software, or the Website shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the Software, or, if nothing was paid, one hundred United States Dollars ($100.00). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lidprex Labs, Lidprex International, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with (a) your use of the Software or the Website, (b) Your Content, or (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or third-party right.

15. Term & Termination

These Terms are effective as of the date you first use the Software or the Website and remain in effect until terminated. You may terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing all use of the Software, the Website, and any related services, and by permanently deleting all copies of the Software in your possession.

Lidprex Labs may suspend or terminate your access to the Software or the Website immediately, without notice or liability, if you breach any provision of these Terms. Upon termination, all licenses granted under these Terms shall immediately cease, and sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, and 20 — shall survive.

16. Changes to These Terms

Lidprex Labs reserves the right to modify, update, or replace these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms and, where appropriate, draw your attention to the change on the Website or official communications.

Your continued use of the Software or the Website after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Software and the Website.

17. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Lidprex International is organized, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms.

You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the competent courts of the applicable jurisdiction, and you hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

18. Dispute Resolution

In the event of any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Software, you and Lidprex Labs shall first attempt to resolve the matter informally by contacting each other directly and negotiating in good faith. Informal negotiation shall take place within thirty (30) days of written notice of the dispute.

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, and where permitted by applicable law, the parties shall resolve the dispute through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules then in effect, with the location of arbitration to be determined by Lidprex Labs. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

19. Severability & Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The failure of Lidprex Labs to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, and no waiver of any term shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term.

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other notices published by Lidprex Labs on the Website, constitute the entire agreement between you and Lidprex Labs regarding the Software and the Website, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, and communications, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of these Terms.
