Terms of Service

Effective date: 6 March 2026 · Canonical URL: https://microcorp.dev/terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of all websites, applications, APIs, and services operated by Zero Ops Oy (Zero Ops Ltd) under the Microcorp and Macrocorp brands, including but not limited to: microcorp.dev, macrocorp.dev, Omnivocal, and Wowed (collectively, the "Services"). By creating an account, accessing, or using any Service you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Consumers in the European Union and Finland: Where applicable law in your country of residence grants you mandatory rights as a consumer that cannot be excluded or limited by contract, nothing in these Terms limits those rights. In particular, the Finnish Consumer Protection Act (Kuluttajansuojalaki 38/1978) and EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) rights apply to you in full.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using any Service, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Services.

Where a Service requires account registration, you accept these Terms by completing the registration process ("clickwrap acceptance"). For API-only access, your first authenticated API call constitutes acceptance. We recommend retaining a copy of these Terms for your records.

3. Eligibility

To access or use the Services, you must:

Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information.
Maintain the accuracy of your information and update it promptly when it changes.
Keep your Account credentials confidential and not share them with any third party.
Notify Us immediately at legal@microcorp.dev if you become aware of any unauthorised access to or use of your Account.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any Account that we reasonably believe to be subject to unauthorised access, fraudulent use, or abuse.

5. License Grant and Restrictions

5.1 License to You

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and use the Services for your internal business or personal purposes.

5.3 Restrictions

You must not, and must not permit any third party to:

copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works of any Service or its underlying software, except where expressly permitted by an applicable open-source licence;
reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of any proprietary Service component;
access any Service by automated means (including scrapers or bots) except through Our published APIs and within published rate limits;
circumvent any access controls, authentication mechanisms, rate limits, or usage restrictions;
use any Service in a manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair Our infrastructure;
use any Service to store or transmit malicious code, malware, or any material that infringes third-party rights;
resell or provide access to the Services as a standalone competing product without Our prior written consent.

6. User Content and Intellectual Property

6.1 Your Content

You retain all intellectual property rights in Content you submit to the Services. By submitting Content, you grant Zero Ops Oy a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to store, process, and transmit your Content solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services to you. This licence terminates when you delete the Content or close your Account.

We will not use your Content to train AI models, create benchmark datasets, or improve services for other Users unless you have provided explicit, separate, freely-given, and revocable opt-in consent for that specific purpose. Such consent is never a condition of accessing the Services. Where an optional AI training contribution programme is offered, full details — including what data is used, for which model, and the opt-out mechanism — will be presented at the point of consent. You may withdraw consent at any time in your account settings; withdrawal takes effect for new training runs within 30 days but does not require removal of data already incorporated into a deployed model where technically infeasible, a limitation disclosed clearly before you consent.

6.2 AI-Generated Content

Where a Service produces AI-Generated Content at your request, you are granted a royalty-free, perpetual licence to use that content subject to: (a) compliance with any applicable AI model licence terms; and (b) your compliance with these Terms. We make no representation that AI-Generated Content is factually accurate, legally compliant, or fit for any particular purpose. You are responsible for reviewing AI-Generated Content before publishing or relying on it.

6.3 Our Intellectual Property

Zero Ops Oy and its licensors own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all software, designs, trademarks, and documentation. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you beyond the limited licence in Section 5.1.

6.4 Feedback

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Services, you grant Us an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use and incorporate such feedback without restriction or compensation to you.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use any Service to:

violate any applicable law or regulation, including export control, sanctions, anti-money laundering, or data protection laws;
infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or contractual rights;
harass, threaten, defame, or harm any person;
publish or distribute content that is illegal, defamatory, obscene, or that promotes violence or discrimination on the basis of protected characteristics;
generate, distribute, or monetise disinformation or deliberately false factual claims intended to deceive the public;
impersonate any real, living individual or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
generate content involving the sexual exploitation of minors (CSAM);
engage in phishing, spoofing, or other fraudulent activities;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to any third-party system, account, or network.

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action, including suspension or termination of your Account and reporting to law enforcement, for any violation of this Section.

8. Fees, Billing, and Auto-Renewal

8.1 Merchant of Record

All paid Subscriptions are processed by Paddle.com Market Ltd ("Paddle"), acting as Merchant of Record. Your billing relationship for Subscription payments is with Paddle, not directly with Zero Ops Oy. Paddle's own terms of service and privacy policy apply to payment processing. Any billing queries, VAT invoices, or payment dispute resolutions should be directed to Paddle in the first instance.

8.2 Subscription Plans and Pricing

Current pricing for each Service is published on the relevant Service's pricing page. Prices are displayed inclusive of VAT where required under EU law. Zero Ops Oy reserves the right to change prices at any time; changes will take effect at your next billing renewal cycle following 30 days' notice.

8.3 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually as selected) unless you cancel before the renewal date. You authorise Paddle to charge your payment method on file for the renewal amount. You can cancel auto-renewal at any time through your account settings or by contacting Paddle.

8.4 Right of Withdrawal for EU/EEA Consumers

If you are a Consumer in the EU or EEA, you have a right to withdraw from a distance contract for a digital service within 14 days of conclusion of the contract without giving any reason, pursuant to the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) and the Finnish Consumer Protection Act Ch. 6.

However, if you expressly request that the service commence during the withdrawal period and acknowledge that you will lose your right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed, the right of withdrawal is extinguished upon commencement. At account creation and Subscription initiation, you will be presented with this acknowledgement.

To exercise the right of withdrawal within the 14-day window (where not waived), contact legal@microcorp.dev with the subject "Right of Withdrawal" and your account email address.

8.5 Refunds

All order processing and refunds are conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com Market Ltd. Paddle is the Merchant of Record for all orders and handles customer service enquiries and return requests related to billing.

Statutory right of withdrawal. As set out in Section 8.4, Consumers in the EU, EEA, and UK have a statutory 14-day right to withdraw from their initial purchase and receive a full refund, provided the service has not been fully performed and the right has not been waived at the point of purchase.
Discretionary refunds. Outside of statutory rights, fees are generally non-refundable. We may issue discretionary refunds or credits on a case-by-case basis — for example, in the event of a verified service outage. Pro-rated refunds for annual plans cancelled mid-term are not provided except where required by applicable law.
How to request a refund. To request a refund, contact Paddle Support at paddle.com/contact or email us at legal@microcorp.dev.

8.6 Free Tiers

Certain Services offer a free tier. Free tiers are provided at our discretion, may be modified or discontinued at any time (with 30 days' notice), and do not create a contractual entitlement to continued free access.

9. Service-Specific Supplements

The following provisions apply in addition to these Terms for the specific Services listed. In the event of a conflict between a Service Supplement and the general Terms, the Service Supplement governs.

9.1 Omnivocal (omnivocal.io) — Multi-Channel Content Distribution

Nature of service. Omnivocal is a developer and content-creator tool for distributing original written content (articles, blog posts, changelogs, release notes) across developer publishing platforms and networks. Omnivocal does not offer, and must not be used as, a social media marketing automation service, an engagement-optimisation or follower-acquisition tool, or any service designed to artificially increase post engagement, clicks, likes, views, or reviews. Automated workflows must be used solely to distribute original content that you have independently authored and have the right to publish.
By connecting third-party social media or publishing accounts (Twitter/X, Bluesky, dev.to, Medium, Hashnode, GitHub) to Omnivocal, you represent that you have authority to publish content to those accounts and to grant Omnivocal API access on your behalf.
You are solely responsible for all Content published to third-party platforms via Omnivocal. Zero Ops Oy exercises no editorial control over content you publish and is not liable for the consequences of publishing any content.
Third-party platform API availability is outside our control. We will endeavour to maintain adapters for connected platforms but cannot guarantee uninterrupted connectivity.
The Omnivocal MCP server is provided for developer use. Any automated publishing workflows you configure are your responsibility.

9.2 Wowed (wowed.io / wowed.dev) — Embeddable Reader Reaction Widget

The embeddable Wowed widget may be installed on third-party websites free of charge. By embedding the widget, site owners consent to Wowed recording anonymous reaction counts for their pages and including their site in the Wowed discovery index.
Zero Ops Oy reserves the right to remove any site from the Wowed discovery index that violates these Terms or applicable law.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that: (a) the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure; (b) any defects will be corrected; (c) the Services or the servers that make them available are free of viruses or harmful components; or (d) the results obtained from using the Services will be accurate or reliable.

Consumer note: Nothing in this Section limits any mandatory statutory warranties or guarantees that apply under Finnish law or the law of your country of residence as a Consumer.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

Zero Ops Oy's total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Services will not exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees paid by you to Zero Ops Oy in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) EUR 100.
In no event will Zero Ops Oy be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Mandatory exceptions (cannot be excluded): The limitations above do not apply to: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including mandatory consumer protection rights under Finnish law. For Consumer contracts, the limitation of liability will not reduce your rights below the mandatory minimum protections required by the Finnish Consumer Protection Act.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Zero Ops Oy and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of the Services in breach of these Terms; (b) your Content; (c) your violation of any applicable law; or (d) your infringement of any third-party right.

This indemnification obligation does not apply to Consumers to the extent that it would limit mandatory rights under Finnish law.

13. Dispute Resolution

13.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating formal proceedings, you agree to contact Us at legal@microcorp.dev and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for a period of at least 30 days from the date of your written notice.

13.2 Consumer Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution

If you are a Consumer in the EU/EEA and the dispute is not resolved informally, you may submit a complaint to the Finnish Consumer Disputes Board (Kuluttajariitalautakunta), PO Box 306, 00531 Helsinki, Finland, kuluttajariita.fi. You may also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Our contact email for ODR purposes is legal@microcorp.dev.

13.3 Class Action Waiver

For business Users (non-Consumers), any claim under these Terms must be brought individually. You waive any right to bring or participate in a class or consolidated action. This waiver does not apply to Consumer transactions.

14. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Finland, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms that is not resolved informally or through the consumer dispute procedures above will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Helsinki District Court (Helsingin käräjäoikeus), Finland.

Consumer exception: If you are a Consumer, the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of habitual residence apply and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country, or the courts of Finland. We may not bring proceedings against you in any jurisdiction other than your country of habitual residence.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes — those that materially affect your rights or obligations — by email to the address associated with your Account or via a prominent notice on the affected Service, at least 30 days before the change takes effect.

If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you may terminate your Account before the change takes effect. Continued use of any Service after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Non-material changes (e.g., clarifications, typographical corrections, addition of new Services that do not affect existing rights) may take effect upon update of the effective date without advance notice.

16. Termination and Effect of Termination

16.1 Termination by You

You may terminate your Account at any time via your account settings or by emailing legal@microcorp.dev. Termination will take effect within 30 days or at your next billing renewal, whichever comes first. Prepaid Subscription fees are non-refundable unless applicable law requires otherwise.

16.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your Account and access to the Services immediately and without notice if: (a) you materially breach these Terms; (b) we are required to do so by law; or (c) continuing to provide the Services to you would expose Us to legal or regulatory risk. Where feasible and not precluded by law, we will give you reasonable prior notice and an opportunity to remedy the breach.

16.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination: (a) all licences granted to you under these Terms cease immediately; (b) you must stop using the Services; (c) We will delete your Account data in accordance with Our Privacy Policy and applicable retention obligations; and (d) provisions intended to survive (including Sections 6.3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 17) will continue in force.

17. General Provisions

17.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable Service Supplement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Zero Ops Oy with respect to the Services and supersede all prior communications, representations, and agreements.

17.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

17.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative of Zero Ops Oy.

17.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without Our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets by giving you 30 days' notice. Consumers retain the right to terminate if a material change in the contracting entity adversely affects their rights.

17.5 Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable for delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms to the extent caused by events beyond that party's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, government action, failure of third-party infrastructure (including cloud provider outages), or internet backbone failures — provided the affected party gives prompt written notice and uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact.

17.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms do not confer any rights on third parties except where expressly provided.

17.7 Language

These Terms are drafted in English. In the event of a conflict between an English version and any translation, the English version governs.
