Terms

What is promised, and what is not.

Written to be read once and understood, rather than to be technically survivable in a dispute. Everything here applies during early access.

Last updated 27 July 2026

01

This is early access

Folean is not a finished product and is not sold as one. Things will change, some of them without much warning. Prices are indicative. Parts of the work are thorough and parts are not written yet.

Everything below is written on that basis. If you need something with a long, stable, contractual guarantee behind it today, this is not that yet, and it is better that you know now.

02

What is promised

Two things, and they are the reason the product exists.

  • Nothing stated about your project will ever be stronger than the evidence behind it. If we cannot show you why, we do not say it.
  • Anything that was not checked is reported as not checked, with the reason. Never quietly left out, never counted as fine.

These two are not marketing. They are the standard the product is held to, and a breach of either is treated as a defect rather than an acceptable rough edge.

03

What is not promised

Perfection is not promised, because nobody can deliver it and claiming otherwise would break the section above.

When Folean calls something production grade, that means roughly ninety-nine percent: the known failure modes for your position have been checked and closed, and the work stands up to how real people actually use software. It does not mean nothing can ever go wrong.

The remaining gap is reported rather than hidden. You will be told which parts are covered, which are not, and what would close them. You are not expected to guess where the edge is, and you are not expected to discover it in production.

Folean also does not promise business outcomes. Nothing here makes anyone buy your product.

04

You own the work, and there is no lock-in

Code and documents produced with Folean are written into your own project, under your own account, from the first day. They are yours outright. No licence back to us, no attribution, no permission needed to use them however you like.

If you stop paying, or we stop existing, the work stays exactly where it already is and keeps running. What you lose is the ongoing checking, not the thing you built. That is deliberate: a product about proving what is true should not depend on you being unable to leave.

05

Excluded at launch

Folean must not be used, during early access, for projects whose primary purpose is handling:

  • Health and medical information
  • Financial account, payment processing or lending information
  • Data about children

These carry obligations that are specific, heavy and jurisdictional, and meeting them properly is real work we have not done yet. Taking them on before that would be exactly the kind of unverified claim this product exists to eliminate. They will be supported when they can be supported honestly.

06

What is yours to do

You are responsible for your project, for the people using it, and for the decisions you make after reading what Folean tells you. Folean informs those decisions. It does not take them.

You are also responsible for having the right to connect what you connect. Do not point Folean at systems that are not yours to point it at, and do not save credentials you were not given permission to use.

07

Paying, and stopping

Paid plans are monthly and cancel at any time, taking effect at the end of the period you already paid for. There is no notice period and no exit fee.

Reading a project and seeing the evidence is free, and stays free. You never lose access to that by cancelling anything.

We can suspend an account for non-payment, or for use that endangers other people. If we do, you are told why, and your export stays available.

08

Liability, plainly

If Folean causes you loss, our liability is limited to what you paid us in the previous twelve months. During early access, for most people, that is a small number or zero. That limit is the honest consequence of the early access basis above, and it is stated here rather than buried.

It does not limit anything that cannot lawfully be limited, including our own fraud or wilful misconduct.

09

Changes, and asking us something

These terms will change while the product does. Material changes are announced before they take effect, and continuing to use Folean after that is how they are accepted. If a change does not suit you, cancel, and keep everything already written into your project.

Anything unclear here goes to hello@folean.com. A term you had to read twice is a term worth rewriting.
