Terms of service

What joining does and does not promise

Signup for the Relic app is open: you can create an account at app.relic-app.com without joining the waitlist. Joining the waitlist adds your email address to our list for Relic updates, starting with a welcome note, and nothing more. We may end the waitlist at any time without owing you anything for it. Your entry is personal to you: it is not property, and it cannot be sold, traded, or transferred. "Free during beta" describes the beta only — it is not a promise about what Relic costs afterwards, and you will be told the price before you are ever asked to pay one.

The address you give us

Use an email address you actually control, and do not sign anyone else up. Submitting someone else's address, using disposable relays to sign up several times, or automating the form with a script or bot is not allowed, and we may remove entries that look automated, duplicated, or abusive without contacting you first. If you write to us about an address, we may need to confirm that it is yours before we act on the request. What we store, why, and how to have it deleted is set out in the privacy policy.

Leaving, and when we remove an entry

You can leave the waitlist whenever you like: reply "unsubscribe" to any email we send, or write to [email protected], and we will delete your entry from our database and from our email provider. We may remove your entry, block your access to the site, or both, if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop running the waitlist. Leaving ends nothing you have paid for, because there is nothing to pay — and the sections on our content, on feedback, on liability, and on governing law carry on applying afterwards.

Your account

You must meet the age rule above — 16 or over — to create an account, and an account is for one person. Give accurate details when you sign up, keep your login secure, and do not share it: you are responsible for what happens on your account.

Free beta

Relic is in free beta. The current limits are:

• 1 GB of storage per account
• 50 chat messages per day
• up to 1,000 items per import
• 50 MB per file

We may change these limits, and the features, during the beta. If Relic ever charges, you will see the price before you are asked to pay, and nothing switches to paid automatically.

Beta means things may change, break or be removed. We may end the beta; if we do, we will give you notice and time to export your library.

Your content

You own what you save and upload. You give Relic a licence only to store it, process it (including with our AI provider), index it and display it to you, for the purpose of running the service. We do not publish it, sell it, or use it to train AI models.

You are responsible for having the right to save what you save. Relic is a personal library: it saves copies for your own private use and does not share or republish them. Do not use Relic to distribute content you do not have the rights to.

AI output

Summaries, tags, digests and chat answers are generated by AI from your library, and they can be wrong or incomplete. Check anything important against the source — that is why Relic shows citations. Do not rely on Relic for professional advice, whether legal, medical or financial.

The browser extension

The extension works only on the tab you choose to save, under the permissions described in the privacy policy. Use it in line with the terms of the sites you visit.

Connected services

If you connect Notion or Google Drive, you use them under those services' own terms. You can disconnect either at any time; items you imported stay in your library until you delete them.

Suspension and ending

You can delete your account at any time from Settings, and deletion is immediate; the privacy policy explains how long backups take to clear. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or the law. Where it is reasonable to, we will tell you why and let you export your library first.

Using Relic fairly

Use the site and the app the way they are meant to be used. Do not attempt to break, overload, or probe them; do not scrape the site at scale, point automated tools at the waitlist form, or make automated mass use of the API beyond normal app use; do not try to reach systems, data, or accounts that are not yours; do not work around limits, rate limits, or security measures; do not resell access to Relic or use it to build a competing dataset; do not copy the site to pass it off as your own; and do not use Relic for anything unlawful, to store or send illegal content, or to spread malware. Ordinary reading, linking, and quoting with credit are all fine, and so is any crawler doing what our robots file allows.

Our name, our product

The Relic name, the logo, the design of this website and the app, and the words on them belong to us or to whoever licensed them to us, and they stay ours. You may read the site, link to it, and quote reasonable extracts with credit. You may not use the Relic name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse, supply, or are affiliated with you, register them as your own, or reuse the design or the copy as the basis of another product or page. Third-party material, including the typeface, belongs to its own owners under its own licence, and the names and marks of the services we list as sources belong to those companies — naming them describes what Relic reads, not a partnership with them.

Ideas you send us

If you send us feedback, feature ideas, bug reports, or suggestions, by email, in Discord, in the app, or anywhere else, we may use them freely and without limit, without paying you, crediting you, or treating them as confidential. You keep whatever rights you already had in your idea; you are giving us permission to act on it too, not handing it over. Please send us only ideas you are free to give, and do not send us anything confidential or anything that belongs to your employer or to someone else.

Other people's services

The site links to places we do not run, our Discord community above all, and Relic is built on services we buy in: Vercel for hosting this website, Supabase for databases, sign-in and file storage, Amazon Web Services for servers and backups, Amazon Bedrock for AI processing, Cloudflare for network protection, and Resend for email delivery. The full list, and what each receives, is in the privacy policy. Those services have their own terms and privacy notices, we do not control them, and we are not responsible for their content, availability, or conduct. When you follow a link off this site, their rules apply to you there, not ours.

Availability and changes

The site and the app are offered as they are and as they happen to be available. We may change, move, suspend, or withdraw any part of them, including the waitlist itself, at any time. During the beta we do not promise any level of uptime, and we do not promise that Relic will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of anything harmful that reaches it despite reasonable care. We take reasonable care with backups, but keep your own copies of anything critical — that is what the export is for.

What we do and do not warrant

Beyond the commitments written down here, and to the fullest extent the law allows, we give no warranties, conditions, or representations about this site or the app, whether express or implied, including any implied terms about satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Relic is in beta and still being built: what this site says about it states our honest current intention, not a specification, and the features, timing, and pricing described may change. None of this affects rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded by agreement — if you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK, your statutory rights apply in full whatever this paragraph says.

Limits on what we owe you

We do not limit or exclude our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or intentional misconduct, for our obligations under data protection law, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that, and to the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or lost opportunity arising from your use of this site or the app, or from an update email that arrives late or never arrives; and our total liability to you for everything connected with Relic is limited to one hundred euros, which reflects that Relic is free and that you pay us nothing for it. If you are a consumer, this paragraph applies only as far as the law of your country permits, and any liability it does not allow us to limit is untouched.

Privacy and cookies

How we handle your data on this website, in the app and in the extension is set out in full in our privacy policy, which forms part of these terms. The short version: on the website, one email field, two essential first-party cookies, and analytics and ad pixels only if you choose Accept in the cookie panel; in the app, we store what you save so we can organise it, search it and answer questions about it, AI providers process it and are not allowed to train on it, and we do not sell your data or show ads. You can withdraw cookie consent at any time from the same panel, export your library or delete your account from Settings, and have your waitlist address deleted by replying to any email we send or by writing to [email protected].

Changes to these terms

We will update these terms as the product and the company take shape: when Relic AI is incorporated, for instance, or when Relic leaves beta. The current version always lives at this address, and the date at the top tells you when it last moved. If a change matters to you and you are on the waitlist or have an account, we will say so in an email rather than leave you to notice it. Using Relic after a change means accepting the version published at the time you use it; if you do not accept it, please leave the waitlist or delete your account.

Governing law and disputes

Relic AI is not yet incorporated, so there is no company seat to point at: until there is, these terms are governed by the law of the country where the team is established, and we will name that country and its courts in this paragraph as soon as the registration is complete, dated at the top of this page. That placeholder takes nothing away from you. If you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK, the mandatory consumer law of the country you live in still protects you in full, you may bring proceedings in your local courts, and you may use any out-of-court dispute resolution body available to you there. Please write to [email protected] first, though — at this stage almost everything is faster to fix by email than by lawyers.

The rest

These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about Relic, and they replace anything said before. If a court finds part of them invalid, the rest stays in force and the invalid part is read down to the smallest change that makes it lawful. If we do not enforce something straight away, we have not given it up. You may not transfer your rights under these terms to anyone else; we may transfer ours to a company that takes over Relic, and if that would leave you worse off we will tell you before it happens. Nobody other than you and us can enforce these terms.

Contact

Questions about these terms, or about anything else: email [email protected]. It is the same inbox that handles privacy requests and that every Relic email replies to, so there is never a second address to work out. You can also find us on the Relic Discord; the link is in the navigation on the home page.
