  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account

You must be at least 16 years old to create an Account. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Use of the Services

3.1 License Grant

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services in accordance with your Plan.

3.2 Use Restrictions

You agree not to:

  • Upload, deploy, or host content that violates our Acceptable Use Policy
  • Circumvent or disable any security features of the Services, including access controls, content scanning, or rate limiting
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any proprietary part of the Services (except as permitted by applicable law)
  • Use the Services in violation of any applicable law or regulation
  • Resell or redistribute access to the Services without our prior written consent
  • Use the Services to host dynamic server-side applications, databases, or executable code (the Services are limited to static file hosting)
  • Attempt to access or modify files, deploys, or sites belonging to other Workspaces
  • Use the Services to process or transmit any data that is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or Export Administration Regulations (EAR) without prior authorization

3.3 API Usage

Your use of the API is subject to the rate limits specified in your Plan. We reserve the right to throttle or suspend API access if usage patterns indicate abuse or threaten service stability. Rate limits are applied per workspace and are documented on our pricing page. We will provide reasonable notice before taking enforcement action, except in cases of imminent harm to service availability.

4. Subscriptions and Billing

4.1 Subscription Plans

The Services are offered under tiered subscription plans as described on our pricing page. Plan features, site limits, storage quotas, and pricing are subject to change with 30 days’ prior notice.

4.2 Billing

Paid Plans are billed monthly in advance. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable except as expressly stated in these Terms or required by applicable law.

4.3 Usage Measurement

Usage is measured by the number of sites, total storage consumed, and deploy frequency within a billing period. Sites, deploys, and previews all count toward your Plan’s limits as described on the pricing page.

4.4 Overages

If your usage exceeds the limits included in your Plan, you will be required to upgrade to an appropriate Plan. We will notify you when your usage approaches your Plan limits.

5. Content Ownership

5.1 Your Content

You retain all rights to the content you deploy through the Services, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and other static assets. We do not claim ownership of any content you upload.

5.2 Content Storage

Sandbar stores your deployed files solely for the purpose of providing the Services — specifically, serving your static sites via CDN, maintaining deploy history, and providing preview URLs. We do not use your deployed content for any other purpose.

5.3 License to Sandbar

You grant us a limited license to use, process, and store your content solely as necessary to provide the Services. This includes storing files in cloud storage, serving them via CDN, and caching them at edge locations.

6. Content Responsibility

6.1 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for all content you deploy through the Services. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to deploy your content and that your content does not violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right.

6.2 Content Scanning

Sandbar may scan deployed content for prohibited material, including but not limited to child sexual abuse material (CSAM), malware, and phishing content. Content that violates our Acceptable Use Policy may be quarantined, removed, or result in account suspension without notice.

6.3 DMCA

Sandbar complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Our DMCA policy, including procedures for submitting takedown notices and counter-notifications, is available at sandbar.cloud/legal/dmca.

7. Service Availability

7.1 Uptime

We target high availability for the Sandbar CDN and hosting infrastructure. Because the CDN serves directly from cloud storage with no custom router in the serving path, content remains available even during control plane maintenance.

7.2 Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days’ notice. We will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Sandbar IP

The Services, including the Sandbar platform, console, CLI, documentation, trademarks, and proprietary technology, are owned by Mataki Labs LLC and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to our trademarks or branding.

8.2 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Services, you grant us an unrestricted, irrevocable, perpetual license to use that feedback for any purpose without obligation to you.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, THAT CDN CACHE INVALIDATION WILL ALWAYS PROPAGATE IMMEDIATELY, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SANDBAR, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sandbar and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Your use of the Services
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any applicable law or regulation
  • Content you deploy through the Services, including any claim that your content infringes third-party intellectual property rights
  • Any claim by a third party related to content hosted on your sites

12. Termination

12.1 By You

You may terminate your Account at any time by contacting us or using the account settings. Termination takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

We will provide reasonable notice before termination except in cases of egregious violation or legal requirement.
