Terms of Service

Codeal provides marketplace, access control, source delivery, update, and local tooling services for company software. Creators publish software and set the commercial terms they offer to buyers. Buyers accept access under the applicable creator terms.

Unless Codeal signs a separate written agreement saying otherwise, Codeal is not the creator, buyer, reseller, sublicensor, or enforcement agent for a creator-buyer software license. Codeal records and enforces platform access, but the creator and buyer remain responsible for the license relationship between them.

Creators are responsible for having the rights needed to upload, publish, license, and distribute their software through Codeal.

Creators are responsible for the terms they offer buyers, including price, scope, permitted use, confidentiality, post-termination obligations, and any requirement that a buyer stop using or delete source after a deal ends.

Creators are responsible for enforcing their own license terms against buyers. Codeal may provide access controls, records, notices, and cleanup tooling, but Codeal does not guarantee buyer compliance with creator license terms.

Buyers are responsible for using software only as permitted by the creator terms they accept.

When a deal, subscription, invite, or other entitlement ends, the buyer must follow the applicable creator terms for continued use, retention, deletion, backup, and confidentiality.

A buyer must not treat access to source code as permission to redistribute, resell, publish, or open source the software unless the creator terms expressly allow it.

Cancelling or ending a deal revokes future platform access through that deal. This means Codeal may block future pulls, updates, source archive downloads, changelog access, and other platform-hosted delivery for the affected software.

Cancellation does not, by itself, delete source code already downloaded to a buyer device, copied to another folder, backed up, exported, modified, or stored outside Codeal-controlled systems.

Codeal may notify buyers that access ended and may provide tools to remove managed local copies where Codeal can identify the local path. These tools are best effort and do not guarantee removal of every copy.

The Codeal web app cannot delete files from a buyer device. The Codeal desktop app or CLI may offer cleanup actions for known managed paths, such as a local library location or install path recorded by the buyer.

Codeal does not guarantee that cleanup tools will find or delete unmanaged copies, backups, modified forks, screenshots, exported archives, or copies stored in third-party services.

Creators should not rely on Codeal cleanup tooling as proof that all buyer copies were deleted. Buyers remain responsible for complying with the creator terms they accepted.

Codeal helps creators stop future access and helps buyers understand and perform cleanup where possible. Codeal does not promise, warrant, or guarantee that previously downloaded source code can be fully deleted from buyer-controlled devices, storage, backups, or systems.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Codeal is not responsible for a buyer's failure to delete or stop using source code after access ends. The creator's remedy for buyer non-compliance is under the creator-buyer license terms and applicable law, not a guarantee by Codeal.

Codeal may update these terms as the product changes. Material changes will be presented in the product or posted on this page. Continued use of Codeal after changes take effect means accepting the updated terms.
