By accessing or using any product, service, or website operated by The Null Hypothesis Foundation (“h₀,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please close this tab and go about your day. We respect that.
These Terms apply to all users, including visitors, registered users, and anyone who accesses our services while pretending they read this document.
“Service” means any software, application, website, or tool operated by h₀, including but not limited to NetGhost, Niru, and whatever we ship next (we're not sure yet either). “User” means you. “Content” means anything you create, upload, or transmit through the Service. “Subscription” means a recurring payment arrangement that you will forget to cancel.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use our services. If you are between 13 and 18, you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian — someone who is presumably also not reading these terms. By using our services, you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement, or at minimum the confidence to click “I Agree” without hesitation.
Some services require you to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, notify us immediately. We will do our best. Our best is not governed by an SLA.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, h₀ grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal or internal business purposes.
You may not: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service; (b) copy, redistribute, or sublicense the software; (c) use the Service for any illegal purpose; (d) attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems; or (e) use the Service in any way that makes us regret building it. That last one is not legally enforceable, but we're asking nicely.
Certain features of our Service require a paid subscription. Payments are processed through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. You can cancel at any time through your account settings or by contacting us.
All fees are stated in USD and are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as explicitly stated in our refund policy. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice. If we raise prices, we will tell you. We will not hide it in a push notification at 2 AM.
You are responsible for any applicable taxes. We are responsible for the emotional labor of dealing with Stripe's dashboard.
You retain ownership of any content you create or upload through the Service. By using the Service, you grant h₀ a limited license to host, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.
We do not claim ownership of your data. We do not sell your data. We do not look at your data unless you explicitly ask us to for support purposes, and even then we'd rather not.
You agree not to use the Service to: (a) violate any law or regulation; (b) infringe on the intellectual property rights of others; (c) transmit malware, spam, or other harmful content; (d) interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure; (e) attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our systems without authorization; or (f) be generally unpleasant in ways we haven't anticipated. We reserve the right to update this list as humanity continues to surprise us.
The Service, including all software, design, text, graphics, and other materials, is the property of The Null Hypothesis Foundation and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. The h₀ name, logo, and the chromatic null symbol are our trademarks. You may not use them without our prior written consent, though we're flattered you'd want to.
Our Service may integrate with or link to third-party services (Stripe, Supabase, Apple, etc.). These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services, and we encourage you to read their terms. We know you won't. We didn't either.
We strive to keep the Service available at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We may also push updates to our software. These updates are generally improvements. Occasionally they are not, and we will pretend they are anyway.
You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us or using the account settings in the Service. We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time for any reason, including breach of these Terms.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We will retain your data for a reasonable period to allow you to retrieve it, after which it will be deleted. We will not hold your data hostage. That would be evil, and as previously stated, we cannot afford to be evil.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We do not warrant that our code is beautiful. We do not warrant that deploying on Fridays is a good idea, despite doing it regularly.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, h₀ and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or fifty dollars ($50), whichever is greater. Yes, that is a very small number. We are a very small company.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless h₀ and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms. This section survives termination. Most legal things do.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware. You and h₀ each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. We would rather resolve things like adults, preferably over email.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website and updating the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you disagree with the changes, your recourse is to stop using the Service.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The legal equivalent of “if one part breaks, the rest still works.” Our terms are more resilient than our infrastructure.
If you have questions about these Terms, you can reach us at root@nullfoundation.org. Response times vary. We are a small team and we are probably debugging something.
This document constitutes the entire agreement between you and The Null Hypothesis Foundation regarding the use of our services. If you've read this far, you are statistically unusual and we appreciate you.
