Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-07-17
1. About Lessly
Lessly is a platform for developers and small teams to deploy code, manage data, handle support, and accept payments — all from one workspace.
Lessly is operated by Apliteni OÜ, a private limited company registered in Estonia (registry code 14296961, Tornimäe tn 3 // 5 // 7, Tallinn, Estonia). "Lessly", "we", "us", and "our" refer to Apliteni OÜ.
Current status: Lessly is in beta. The product is under active development. Features, pricing, and service terms may change as we approach general availability. By joining the waitlist or using the service, you accept that the product is not yet production-ready and that no formal Service Level Agreement applies during the beta period.
To use Lessly, you must be at least 16 years old and able to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction.
2. Acceptable use
You may use Lessly only for lawful purposes. The following are prohibited:
- Uploading, distributing, or processing content that is illegal, harmful, or violates third-party rights (including copyright, patents, and trade secrets).
- Using Lessly's compute, storage, or network to mine cryptocurrency or perform distributed computing for purposes unrelated to your application.
- Training machine learning models on data belonging to other Lessly customers or obtained without their consent.
- Sending unsolicited communications (spam) through any Lessly feature.
- Attempting to circumvent access controls, exploit security vulnerabilities, or gain unauthorized access to Lessly infrastructure or other customers' workspaces.
- Reselling or sublicensing Lessly as a standalone hosting product without our written permission.
We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these rules without prior notice. We will notify you as soon as practicable after suspension.
Reporting illegal content (notice and action). If you believe content hosted on Lessly is illegal, you can notify us at report@lessly.com. Tell us what the content is, where it is, and why you believe it is unlawful, so we can assess it. We review valid notices and may remove or restrict access to content we find to be illegal or in breach of these Terms. When we remove or restrict content, we give the affected customer a clear statement of the reasons and, where applicable, how to contest the decision. We apply and enforce the restrictions in these Terms diligently, objectively, and proportionately, with due regard to the rights and legitimate interests of everyone involved.
3. Sanctions and export compliance
You represent and warrant that: (a) neither you nor any person or entity owning or controlling 50% or more of you is designated on any applicable European Union, United Nations, United Kingdom, or United States sanctions list; (b) you are not established, resident, or operating in Russia, Belarus, or in the territories of Crimea, Sevastopol, or the non-government-controlled areas of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions of Ukraine; and (c) you will not use Lessly to circumvent sanctions or for the benefit of any sanctioned person.
You must notify us without undue delay at privacy@lessly.com if your beneficial ownership (50% or more) or your jurisdiction of establishment or operation changes in a way that affects these representations.
If we determine that you match an applicable sanctions designation, we may immediately freeze, suspend, or terminate your account without refund, and where required by Estonian law we will report to the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit. You may not use Lessly to host, store, or transfer software or technology controlled under Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2021/821 (dual-use items); we may suspend access on reasonable suspicion of such use.
4. Your account
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must notify us immediately at privacy@lessly.com if you believe your account has been compromised.
Each workspace is isolated. You are responsible for the actions of all users you grant access to your workspace.
We may terminate or suspend your account if you materially breach these Terms and fail to remedy the breach within 14 days of written notice. For serious violations (illegal content, active security attacks), we may terminate immediately.
5. Your data and content
You own your data. Code, environment variables, secrets, databases, and any other content you deploy or store on Lessly remain yours. Lessly does not claim any ownership over your content.
Lessly as a processor. We act as a data processor for your users' data when you run applications on the platform. You are the data controller for your end users. You are responsible for maintaining your own privacy policy and complying with applicable data protection law for your users. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) covering our obligations under GDPR Art. 28 is published at lessly.com/legal/dpa.
No access to your data. The Lessly team does not have access to the contents of your databases, environment variables, or secrets. Access controls are enforced at the infrastructure level.
Backup. We maintain rolling 30-day backups of platform databases. Backups are for disaster recovery purposes. You are responsible for maintaining your own application-level backups.
On termination. If you delete your account or your account is terminated, your data is retained for 30 days (to allow recovery from accidental deletion), then permanently deleted. Audit logs are retained for 2 years for legal and security purposes.
Leaving Lessly (switching and portability). You are free to leave Lessly at any time. There is no minimum term, and we will never require more than two months' notice to end your subscription. When you leave, you can retrieve everything you deployed or stored — code, environment variables, databases, and other content — in structured, commonly used, machine-readable formats through the platform's export functions and standard APIs. Your data stays available for at least 30 days after termination so you have time to move it before it is permanently deleted. From 12 January 2027, we will not charge any fee for switching away from Lessly or for exporting your data. We use standard formats and open APIs and do not lock you in.
Where your use of Lessly involves personal data of your end users, the Data Processing Agreement forms part of these Terms.
6. Service availability
Beta period: During the beta, Lessly is provided "as is" with no uptime guarantee. We will communicate planned maintenance in advance where possible, but we cannot guarantee advance notice for emergency maintenance.
Paid plans. We use commercially reasonable efforts to keep Lessly available and to resolve incidents promptly. We do not offer a credit-backed service level agreement (SLA) or a guaranteed uptime percentage. We will publish current and historical service status at status.lessly.com. If we introduce a formal SLA in the future, it will be published separately and will apply only to the extent it expressly says so.
7. Pricing and billing
7.1 Plans and prices
Paid subscription plans, current prices, and included usage are published on our pricing page. Prices are set in USD or EUR; the currency applies at the Organization level. Prices exclude VAT (section 7.3).
Access during the private beta is free. The billing provisions of this section apply once billing activates for your Organization. Before any charge is made, you will review and accept the paid terms, including the plan price and billing cycle, at checkout.
7.2 Free trial
Paid plans start with a free trial of 14 days. A payment card is required to start the trial, and the plan's full usage allowance is included. Top-ups are not available during the trial. Your card is charged on day 15; cancelling at any time before then means no charge.
7.3 Payment and taxes
Payments are processed by Stripe. Apliteni OÜ is the merchant of record. Prices exclude VAT; applicable tax is calculated at checkout. For VAT-registered businesses in EU member states other than Estonia, the reverse-charge mechanism applies. Top-up purchases are taxed at the time of purchase and require a valid business VAT ID.
7.4 Usage, top-ups, and budgets
Metered usage draws first against your plan's included allowance, then against your prepaid top-up balance. Top-up credits are non-transferable and cannot be converted to cash while the service is active; their treatment at cancellation is described in section 7.7.
Automatic top-up is strictly opt-in and requires separate consent. When enabled, it charges a fixed top-up amount when your balance falls below the threshold you accepted, is capped per billing cycle, notifies you of every charge, and can be disabled in one click.
If your Organization's usage budget is exhausted, non-production and non-critical activity pauses immediately: preview and staging environments, experiments, autonomous agent actions, marketing broadcasts, and new deployments. Production containers and transactional email (sign-in, receipts) continue for 72 hours, with consumption accruing as overage. If no top-up or budget increase is made within those 72 hours, production stops. Provisioned resources and your data are retained.
7.5 Price changes
We announce price increases at least 30 days before they take effect, consistent with section 11. Rates priced by a public formula (provider price plus a stated margin) follow the provider's prices by construction; the formulas are published on the pricing page. A change in one of these formula-priced rates that results only from a movement in the referenced provider's published price is not, by itself, a change to these Terms and does not trigger the separate notice in section 11 — the published formula and margin are the terms you agree to. If we change a formula or a margin itself, that is a material change and we give you 30 days' notice under section 11.
7.6 Non-payment
If a payment fails, we retry it. If payment cannot be collected, the following applies, with notice to you at every stage: a grace period, then suspension of the service, then archival of the Organization's resources. Export of your data remains available during suspension.
7.7 Cancellation and refunds
You can cancel your subscription at any time from your Organization settings. Cancellation stops renewal; the service continues to the end of the paid period. Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. Unused included allowance is forfeited at termination. On voluntary cancellation, your prepaid top-up balance is, at your choice, refunded or retained for 30 days for reactivation. Where we instead terminate for cause — a sanctions match under section 3, or a material breach not remedied under section 4 — the prepaid top-up balance is forfeited.
8. Intellectual property
Lessly's source code, brand (name, logo, visual identity), platform documentation, and proprietary tooling are owned by Apliteni OÜ and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property law.
You may not copy, modify, or distribute Lessly's platform code or documentation without written permission, except where explicitly permitted (for example, open-source components under their respective licenses).
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Lessly's intellectual property to you.
9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
As is. Lessly is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
No guarantee of results. We do not guarantee that the service will meet your specific requirements, that it will be uninterrupted, or that errors will be corrected.
Liability cap. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apliteni OÜ's total liability to you for any claim arising under or in connection with these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to Lessly in the 12 months preceding the claim or (b) €500.
Excluded damages. Apliteni OÜ is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in this section limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable Estonian law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Apliteni OÜ, its officers, and employees from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of Lessly in violation of these Terms, your violation of any third-party rights, or any content you submit, deploy, or store on the platform.
11. Changes to these Terms
We will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before any material change to these Terms takes effect. "Material" means changes that affect your rights, the price of the service (other than a formula-priced rate moving with its referenced provider price, as described in section 7.5), or our liability.
Minor changes (typo fixes, clarifications that do not affect your rights) are reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of this page without separate notification.
Continuing to use Lessly after the effective date of a change means you accept the updated Terms.
12. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Estonia.
Any dispute that cannot be resolved through good-faith negotiation will be submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of Estonia.
If you are a consumer in the EU, you may also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform.
