Developer Agreement

This agreement is between your organization, which publishes plug-ins through its owners and admins, and Batey Business Labs LLC, which makes Kanboombo. "You" is your organization; "we" and "Kanboombo" are Batey Business Labs LLC.

1. What you publish

You publish plug-ins that follow contract 1 and the Guidelines. Every version you submit carries five statements: that you may publish its data, that each source is its holder's own publication, that its records name no private person, that it never tries the network, and that its records report what the source says without selling or persuading. Those statements are part of this agreement, and you make them again with each version.

You may publish a source's data only when its holder's licence allows it, the holder has given you permission, it is in the public domain, or it is your own. If that changes, you tell us and stop publishing it.

2. Your code stays yours

You keep every right in your plug-in: its code, its listing, its icon. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store them, to check them and run them on our Servers, to show the listing and its example days in the Plug-in Store, and to keep the records your plug-in wrote. You can end that licence for anything not yet written by retiring the plug-in; the records already written stay, as section 3 says.

Code we give you to build with — the kanboombo-plugin.mjs tool, the example plug-ins and the code on these pages — is yours to use under the MIT No Attribution licence.

3. Records stay on readers' days

A reader who installs your plug-in keeps the records it wrote. When you unpublish, retire or update it, or when we take it down, those records stay, as far as the data's own licence allows (retain in your manifest). Your plug-in's id is never given to anyone else.

4. How your plug-in runs

Your plug-in runs in a locked room on our Servers: no network, no secrets, no access to anything but its own files and the sources it declares. You don't try to get around that, you don't try to learn who installed it, and you don't put anything in it that would harm a reader, our Servers or anyone else.

5. Review, takedown and reports

A person at Kanboombo reviews every version before it is published, and may ask you for changes or decline it, with a reason. We may take a published plug-in down at any time — for its data's licence, for harm, for impersonation, for breaking, or because the law requires it — with a short message its readers see. Readers can report a plug-in; you see why, never who. You can always submit a new version.

6. Your domain and your name

You publish under a domain you verify, and you keep it verified. If we can no longer verify it, your plug-ins keep running for 14 days while you put the proof back; after that you verify it again before you submit. You don't publish under a name that claims to be someone else, Kanboombo included.

7. No fees, no ads, no payments

Publishing is free. Your plug-in doesn't advertise, sell, or ask a reader for payment, and its listing doesn't either.

8. Your listing tells the truth

Your listing describes what your plug-in puts on a reader's days, links a privacy policy that is accurate, and gives a support contact that answers. You keep them current.

9. What we don't promise

The Plug-in Store, the tools and the Servers are provided as they are. We may change them or stop offering them; when we do, we tell publishers first when we can. To the extent the law allows, neither of us is liable to the other for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability under this agreement is limited to one hundred US dollars. You are responsible for your right to publish your plug-in's data, and you will cover us for claims that it was not yours to publish.

10. Changes to this agreement

A new version is posted on this page with its date and a note on what changed. You accept it in the publishing portal before your next submission. Until then, your published versions keep running under the version you accepted.

11. Ending

You can stop publishing at any time: retire your plug-ins in the portal. We can end this agreement if you break it, and tell you why. Sections 2 (for records already written), 3 and 9 last after it ends.

12. The law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the state in which Batey Business Labs LLC is organized. Questions about it go to Kanboombo through About.
