Terms of Service

Last updated: March 21, 2025  ·  Effective immediately

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of LaunchQ ("Service"), operated by LaunchQ ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. The Service

LaunchQ provides a waitlist management platform that enables users ("Customers") to create, embed, and manage viral waitlists for their products. The Service includes a hosted signup page, an embeddable widget, referral mechanics, email automation, and a subscriber management dashboard.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will provide reasonable notice for material changes where possible.

2. Accounts

To use LaunchQ, you must create an account with a valid email address. You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Ensuring your account information is accurate and up to date
  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create an account. Accounts may not be transferred without our prior written consent.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use LaunchQ only for lawful purposes. You must not use the Service to:

  • Collect email addresses without the knowledge or consent of subscribers
  • Send spam, unsolicited commercial email, or messages violating CAN-SPAM, GDPR, or CASL
  • Promote illegal products, services, or activities
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation
  • Scrape, crawl, or extract data from the Service in an unauthorized manner
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
  • Upload or distribute malware, viruses, or any harmful code

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these restrictions without notice.

4. Your Data and Content

You retain ownership of all data you upload to LaunchQ, including waitlist configurations, subscriber lists, and email content ("Your Content").

By using the Service, you grant LaunchQ a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, and transmit Your Content solely as necessary to provide the Service.

You are solely responsible for the legality, accuracy, and appropriateness of Your Content, including ensuring you have obtained proper consent from your waitlist subscribers to collect and use their email addresses.

5. Subscriber Data and GDPR Compliance

When you use LaunchQ to collect email addresses from your audience, you are the data controller under applicable data protection laws (including GDPR). LaunchQ acts as a data processor on your behalf.

As the data controller, you are responsible for:

  • Having a lawful basis for collecting subscriber email addresses
  • Providing subscribers with a clear privacy notice
  • Honoring subscriber rights requests (access, deletion, portability)
  • Ensuring your use of LaunchQ's email sending features complies with applicable anti-spam laws

LaunchQ provides tools to help you comply — including one-click unsubscribe links in all emails and CSV export — but compliance responsibility remains with you.

6. Email Sending

LaunchQ's email sending features are provided via AWS SES. You agree not to use these features to send unsolicited email or to any subscribers who have not explicitly opted in.

We automatically suppress hard bounces, repeat soft bounces, and spam complaints. Continued sending to poor-quality lists may result in suspension of your email sending privileges or your account.

You are responsible for ensuring the content of your emails complies with CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL, and any other applicable law in your jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of your recipients.

7. Plans and Billing

LaunchQ offers a free tier and paid subscription plans. Paid plans are billed monthly or annually as selected at signup. All prices are in USD unless stated otherwise.

By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize LaunchQ (via Stripe) to charge your payment method on a recurring basis. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled.

  • Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period
  • No refunds are issued for partial months or unused features
  • Downgrading to a lower plan takes effect at the next renewal date
  • We may change pricing with 30 days notice; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance

Failure to pay may result in service suspension. Accounts with outstanding balances may be terminated after 30 days.

8. Free Tier Limitations

The free tier includes access to core features with the following limitations: 1 waitlist, up to 500 subscribers, and LaunchQ branding on subscriber-facing pages. Free tier limits may change with notice.

LaunchQ reserves the right to deactivate free accounts that have been inactive for 12 or more months, after providing 30 days notice via the registered email address.

9. Intellectual Property

LaunchQ and all related trademarks, logos, and service names are the exclusive property of LaunchQ. Nothing in these Terms grants you a right to use our trademarks or branding.

The LaunchQ platform, codebase, and all software are proprietary. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Service without our express written permission.

10. Uptime and Service Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee any specific uptime SLA on free plans. Paid plans include best-effort uptime with scheduled maintenance performed during low-traffic windows with advance notice where practical.

We are not liable for downtime caused by third-party infrastructure (Firebase, AWS, Netlify) or force majeure events.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. You use the Service at your own risk.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LaunchQ shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the total amount paid by you to LaunchQ in the 12 months immediately preceding the claim.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LaunchQ and its officers, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

14. Termination

Either party may terminate the relationship at any time. You may delete your account from the dashboard Settings page. We may suspend or terminate your account for violation of these Terms, non-payment, or for any other reason with reasonable notice where practicable.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We will retain your data for 30 days post-termination, after which it is permanently deleted. You may export your subscriber data before termination via the CSV export feature.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.

16. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered account holders of material changes via email at least 14 days before the effective date. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
