Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of terms

By creating an account or using StompLab, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the service. These terms apply alongside our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

2. What StompLab is

StompLab is a web application for browsing guitar pedal build projects, managing a personal component stash, and tracking builds. It is available on a free tier and a paid Pro tier (described in section 4). Project layouts and diagrams displayed on StompLab are sourced from third-party creators and are credited accordingly. StompLab is provided as a community tool and is not affiliated with any pedal manufacturer or layout author.

3. Your account

• You must provide accurate information when registering and keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• You must keep your password secure and notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.
• You must be at least 13 years old to use StompLab.
• You may not create accounts on behalf of others without their permission.

4. Paid subscriptions

StompLab Pro is a paid subscription available at £5 per month or £50 per year. By subscribing you agree to the following:

• Billing: your subscription renews automatically on the same date it started (monthly or annually, depending on the plan you chose). You authorise us to charge your payment method on each renewal date.
• Payment processing: all payments are processed by Stripe. You provide your payment details directly to Stripe – StompLab never sees or stores your card details.
• Cancellation: you may cancel your subscription at any time from the billing portal, accessible from your profile menu. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain Pro access until then. No partial refunds are issued for unused days in a billing period.
• Failed payments: if a payment fails, your Pro features will be suspended until payment is successfully collected. You will be notified by email and can update your payment method via the billing portal to restore access.
• Price changes: we will give at least 30 days' notice of any price change by email. Continued use of the Pro subscription after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new price.
• Refunds: we do not offer refunds for subscription fees already charged, except where required by law. If you believe a charge is erroneous, contact us at hello@stomplab.net.
• Account deletion: deleting your account will cancel your subscription immediately. No refund is issued for the remainder of the billing period.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use StompLab to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the service or its underlying infrastructure.
• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the service without prior written permission.
• Interfere with or disrupt the service or servers connected to it.
• Transmit any harmful, offensive, or unlawful content.
• Impersonate another person or entity.

6. Third-party content and intellectual property

Project layouts, schematics, and diagrams displayed on StompLab are the intellectual property of their respective authors. StompLab credits each layout to its original creator and links to the original source where available. If you are a layout author and believe your work has been attributed incorrectly or you would like it removed, please contact us at hello@stomplab.net.

The StompLab name, logo, and original interface design are owned by StompLab. You may not reproduce or use them without permission.

7. Your content

Data you add to StompLab, such as your component stash and build notes, remains yours. By storing it on StompLab you grant us a limited licence to process and display it solely for the purpose of providing the service to you. We do not claim ownership of your content and will not share it with third parties except as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

StompLab is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that project layouts are accurate or suitable for your specific build. You use the service and any information on it at your own risk.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, StompLab and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to damaged components, failed builds, or data loss. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the total amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.

10. Suspension and termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time if we believe you have violated these terms or are misusing the service. Suspension means your account remains intact but you are unable to log in; your data is retained during this period. Termination means your account and associated data are permanently deleted. In the case of termination by us, any active Pro subscription will be cancelled and a pro-rata refund issued for the unused portion of the current billing period.

You may delete your account at any time from your Profile settings. Upon deletion, your personal data will be removed as described in our Privacy Policy, and any active subscription will be cancelled immediately.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the site. Continued use of StompLab after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Scotland. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Scottish courts.
