Publisher policies

Terms of service

The agreement for using Publisher, including the app, API and MCP tools. Read it alongside our privacy policy before creating an account or starting a paid subscription.

Effective · Build a Micro SaaS Academy

1. Agreement and eligibility

Publisher is provided by Build a Micro SaaS Academy (“we,” “us,” or “our”). These terms apply to the Publisher website, application, API, MCP tools and related services. By creating an account or using Publisher, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement where you live. If you act for a business or another organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind it. In that case, “you” includes that organization.

2. Accounts and workspace authority

Provide accurate account and billing information and keep your login secure. A workspace owner controls its membership, plan and deletion. Members must act within their roles and the authority given by the owner. Each paid workspace has its own subscription and resource limits. All workspace members can see its brand folders; folders are organizational labels and do not isolate client data.

You are responsible for activity authorized through your account, workspace members, API keys, connected agents and webhook destinations. Restrict scopes and account access appropriately, revoke compromised credentials promptly and contact us if you suspect unauthorized access. Do not share one login to avoid a member limit; invite members through the workspace.

An API key does not grant more authority than the current permissions behind it. We may refuse or pause an unsent operation when a key is revoked, a member loses permission, an account is disconnected or the workspace is no longer entitled to publish.

3. Publishing and connected services

Publisher helps you prepare, customize, schedule and send content to social accounts you authorize, including through supported providers. You authorize us to connect those accounts and carry out the publishing instructions submitted through your workspace, API keys or agents. You must hold the rights and permissions necessary for each destination and follow its terms, eligibility rules and content requirements.

Supported networks, account types and formats are shown in the product. A development, preview or eligibility-review label is not a promise of live support. Platform rules, provider availability, rate limits, connection expiry and third-party changes may delay or prevent publication. Scheduling records an intended time; it does not guarantee an exact publication time or simultaneous delivery across networks.

One destination may publish while another fails or needs attention. An accepted or processing status is not a confirmed publication. Check the destination receipts before assuming a post is live. If an external outcome is unresolved, do not submit another copy blindly: the original may already have been accepted. Cancellation is only available while it is safe to stop the unsent work and cannot recall a native post already published.

External social networks, AI assistants, billing portals and other services you choose to connect have their own terms and privacy policies. You remain responsible for instructions given to an agent and the content it submits on your behalf.

4. Your content and our permission to process it

You retain ownership of your content. You grant us a non-exclusive permission to host, copy, transfer, format, display within your workspace and publish content only as needed to provide Publisher, follow your instructions, resolve delivery outcomes, protect the service and meet legal obligations. This permission includes using our service providers for those purposes.

This is not a right to sell your content, use it in advertising or train AI models with it. The permission lasts only while needed for those purposes, including completing work you have already authorized and handling records retained under our Privacy Policy. Public availability of a social post and copies held by a network are controlled by that network and the visibility you selected.

You confirm that you have the necessary copyright, privacy, publicity and other permissions for the content and personal information you submit. Review captions, media, destination identities, variants and visibility before publishing. You are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the content and for keeping your own original files.

5. Acceptable use

You must not use Publisher to:

  • Publish unlawful content, infringe another person's rights, distribute malware, commit fraud, harass people or misrepresent your identity or authorization.
  • Send automated spam, run abusive repetitive publishing loops, farm connections or evade a social network's restrictions or enforcement.
  • Access another workspace without authorization, disclose credentials, defeat account or seat limits, bypass technical protections or interfere with the service.
  • Use private temporary-media links as a public hosting service or submit files intended to exploit our systems or providers.

Unlimited posting has no monthly publication-count allowance or hidden post-credit balance. It still depends on connected-account eligibility, available formats, fair technical request rates, queue capacity, file size, temporary active storage and the scheduling horizon. These limits are shown in the product or documentation. Ordinary high usage does not create an undisclosed posting quota or a surprise usage invoice.

We may investigate suspected abuse, restrict unsafe activity or require corrective action. Where appropriate, we will explain the operational or policy reason. We do not guarantee a particular reach, engagement level, commercial outcome or immunity from a network's moderation decisions.

6. Trials, subscriptions and plan changes

The free trial lasts 14 days, requires no payment card and includes two connected accounts, one workspace member, 1 GB of temporary active media and the same unlimited-posting workflow, including API and MCP access. At trial expiry, new publishing pauses until you explicitly choose a paid subscription. We do not automatically charge a no-card trial.

Paid plan prices, account and member limits, temporary-storage limits and billing intervals are shown on the pricing page and at checkout. One connected account means one specific profile, Page or channel. Multiple accounts on the same network count separately. The application file limit is 500 MB or a lower destination/provider limit; the scheduling horizon is 90 days.

Monthly subscriptions renew monthly, and annual subscriptions renew annually, unless canceled before renewal. Annual billing charges the displayed annual total at the start of the term; the monthly equivalent is explanatory and does not mean monthly billing. Displayed prices are in US dollars; applicable taxes and the final payable amount are shown at checkout. By completing checkout, you authorize the disclosed recurring charges through Stripe.

Upgrades and interval changes require the charge or proration shown during confirmation. Entitlements change after authoritative billing confirmation. Downgrades take effect at renewal. Where a lower plan has fewer account or member slots, you choose what to retain; excess connections or memberships may pause without deleting content.

Failed or overdue payment can pause new publishing, including after the applicable payment-failure grace period. Drafts remain available for review. Payment recovery does not trigger an unreviewed burst of missed jobs; review paused work before resuming it. A schedule is checked again at dispatch and does not guarantee publication after the current paid-through date.

We may change prices for future subscriptions or renewals with notice before the change applies to your subscription. You may cancel before the next renewal if you do not accept the new price. We do not retroactively turn unlimited posting into purchased post credits.

7. Cancellation and refunds

You can request subscription cancellation through Billing. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term and stops the next renewal. It does not by itself delete the workspace, remove native social posts or issue a refund.

Seven-day first-charge refund: you may request a refund of the first successful paid subscription charge for your workspace by emailing support@buildamicrosaas.com within 7 calendar days of that charge. Include the workspace name, billing email and, if available, the receipt or invoice reference. We review and process these requests manually and return approved refunds through the original payment method. Bank or card-provider processing times can vary.

A renewal, later plan change or later purchase does not restart the first-charge refund window. Outside that policy, fees for a paid term are not refundable simply because you stop using the service or cancel before the term ends, except where required by law or otherwise agreed by us. Cancellation and refund are separate requests. This policy does not limit any statutory withdrawal, refund or other mandatory consumer right.

8. Temporary media and deletion

Publisher is not a permanent media archive. Keep your original files. Incomplete uploads are generally eligible for cleanup after 24 hours; unused draft sources after 14 days; settled successful or canceled deliveries after 72 hours; and failed or unresolved submissions after the applicable 7-day recovery window. Future schedules, in-flight operations and other current references can protect a file longer. Details are in the Privacy Policy retention section and the product's retention labels.

Deleting an eligible source does not delete a native post. An owner's workspace-deletion request stops new publishing and begins permanent removal of sources, provider profiles and application records. In-flight work may need to settle first, and deletion failures may require retries. Limited legal, billing, security and deletion records can remain as described in the Privacy Policy. Workspace deletion is separate from subscription cancellation and is not reversible.

9. Suspension and termination

We may pause or restrict access for nonpayment, compromised credentials, suspected fraud, unlawful conduct, material violations of these terms or a serious threat to the service or others. Where reasonable, we will give notice and an opportunity to correct the problem; urgent security or legal action may require immediate restrictions.

You can stop using Publisher, cancel renewal and request eligible data or workspace deletion. Termination does not erase payment obligations already incurred or rights and obligations that reasonably need to continue, including content-rights protections, legal record retention and the responsibility provisions below.

10. Publisher intellectual property

We and our licensors retain rights in Publisher's software, design, branding and documentation. Subject to these terms, you may use the service for your authorized personal or business publishing. This does not transfer ownership of the software or permission to resell unauthorized access, copy protected materials or misrepresent affiliation with us. Your own content remains yours.

11. Availability and responsibility

To the extent permitted by law, Publisher is provided “as is” and “as available,” without a promise of uninterrupted service, error-free operation, suitability for every use or any particular publishing or commercial result. Third-party outages, moderation, changes and restrictions can affect service even where Publisher accepts a request.

To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, lost opportunities or lost goodwill arising from this agreement. Our total liability arising from Publisher will not exceed the subscription fees you paid us for the affected service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These limitations do not exclude liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable mandatory consumer protections. You are responsible for claims arising from content you supplied without the necessary rights, your unlawful publishing instructions or your misuse of another person's account. We remain responsible for our own conduct under applicable law.

12. Governing law and disputes

This agreement is governed by the laws of Nova Scotia and the applicable federal laws of Canada. Please contact support@buildamicrosaas.com first so we can try to resolve a concern directly. Subject to any mandatory rights to a different forum or law, disputes may be brought in the courts of Nova Scotia, Canada.

Nothing in these terms prevents you from using a regulator, small-claims procedure or other remedy available under mandatory law where you live.

13. Changes and contact

We may update these terms to reflect service changes or legal requirements. The effective date appears above. We will give notice of material changes through the application or email where appropriate or legally required. Changes do not remove rights you already acquired under mandatory law. If you do not accept updated terms, stop using the service and cancel future renewal.
