Terms of Service

Last updated 8 August 2026

1. Purpose and acceptance

These terms (the "Terms") govern the use of Markleex (the "Platform"), published by Sels de Rehy, LLC ("we", "us"), whose details appear in the Legal notice.

Creating an account, taking a Markleex Name, publishing a page or adding credit means you ("you", the "holder") accept these Terms. If you act on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you may bind it. You confirm that you are at least 16 years old, or the age at which you may consent to online services where you live if that age is higher.

2. What the Platform does

You take a Markleex Name, which is your address: markleex.com/@name. Under it you publish pages, each at its own stable address. Every page is served as a web page, as its plain-text twin at the same address with a .md suffix, and as structured data. Every version is kept and dated.

You may also declare a relationship with another entity, which appears on both addresses once the other party confirms it, and record a verified website by putting one line on the home page of a website you control: we read that page and publish what we saw, with its date.

3. Your account and your machine access

Use of the Platform requires an account. You give an accurate email address, keep it current and keep your credentials to yourself. Confirming your email address is required before you create an entity. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

An entity may be held by several accesses, with distinct roles. An owner decides who else holds it.

You may create API keys and authorize applications, including AI assistants, to act for you. What they do, they do as you, within the scopes you granted, and you remain responsible for it. You may revoke a key or an authorization at any time, and revoking takes effect at once. Some acts exist only on markleex.com, where a person signs in: owners, transfers, permanent deletion, the designated successor and billing.

4. Your Markleex Name

A Markleex Name works like a domain name. It is unique, it goes to whoever asks for it first, and while you hold it no one else can take it. You hold it for as long as your entity exists; it is licensed to you for use on the Platform, it is not sold to you, and it gives you no trademark or other right in the name itself.

Deletion and redemption. If you delete your entity, its addresses stop answering at once. For 90 days nobody else can take the name and you can come back and reclaim it. After that period the name goes to whoever next asks for it, and what it carried goes with it: pages exist only under the name.

Renaming. A page you rename keeps its old address answering, with a permanent redirect to the new one, for as long as the page exists.

Annual confirmation. Once a year you may confirm that your entity is active, and that date is published at your address. Nothing expires for want of a confirmation: no page is removed and no name is released because you did not make one.

Successor. You may designate a successor. If two years pass without a confirmation, that successor may claim the entity. We email you and 30 days run before anything moves; a single confirmation from you ends the claim, at any moment.

Transfer. You may propose the transfer of an entity to someone else, who has 30 days to accept. Accepting gives them the entity whole and ends every access held before, including yours. After a transfer or a succession takes effect, the previous holder has 30 days to take the entity back.

5. What you publish

You keep every right you hold in what you publish. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to store, copy, adapt for the formats above, serve and display it, for as long as you keep it published on the Platform and so that we can run the Platform. That right ends when you remove the content, subject to the paragraphs below.

Public by design. What you publish is served to anyone who asks for it, people and machines alike, and it is meant to be read, quoted and copied. Once it is out, third parties may keep, index and reproduce it in ways nobody controls, and removing it from the Platform does not remove it from them.

Removal. Putting a page in the trash makes its address stop answering; its versions are kept and you can bring the page back. The way to remove a space entirely is to delete the entity, under section 4.

6. What you may not publish

• Content that is unlawful, or that infringes the rights of others, including copyright and trademarks.
• Content that passes you off as a person, an organization or a brand you have no right to speak for.
• Personal data about other people that you have no lawful basis to publish.
• Malware, phishing, or anything built to deceive a reader or a machine that reads the page.
• Content that harasses, threatens or incites violence against anyone.

You also undertake not to work around the technical limits of the Platform, not to resell access to it, and not to impair its integrity, security or availability.

We act on reports sent to support@markleex.com. Where a page or an entity breaks this section, we may put the page in the trash, suspend the entity or terminate the access behind it, and we do so after notice where the nature of the breach allows it.

7. What is free, and what is metered

Publishing is free. Your Markleex Name, your pages, their versions, your profile image, your relationships, your verified websites, your API keys and your authorized applications cost nothing, and no card is required.

The image library is metered. Images you keep in your library are billed at $0.30 per GB-month, that is per gibibyte (1,073,741,824 bytes) held for a month of thirty days, measured over the time each file is actually stored, with any fraction of a micro-dollar dropped in your favour. There is no subscription and no automatic renewal: you add credit when you choose to, from $10, and credit does not expire.

8. Payment, invoices and taxes

Payment is made by card, on a hosted payment page. We store no card details. Prices are shown in US dollars and are exclusive of any tax that may be due where you are established or resident; where such a tax applies it is added and borne by you. A business customer in the European Union accounts for VAT under the reverse-charge mechanism where applicable. Each payment is invoiced by Sels de Rehy, LLC or by the affiliated company named on the invoice.

9. Right of withdrawal (consumers in the European Union)

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you are in principle entitled to fourteen (14) days to withdraw, without giving a reason.

As credit is a digital service performed immediately, you expressly consent, when you add credit, to performance beginning before that period ends, and you acknowledge losing your right of withdrawal over credit already consumed. Credit you have bought and not yet consumed is refunded if you exercise that right within the period, by writing to support@markleex.com. This is without prejudice to the mandatory rights the law of your country of residence gives you.

Apart from that, amounts corresponding to storage already provided are not refundable.

10. When credit runs out

Images stop being displayed in your pages, and that is all that changes: your pages, their text, their plain-text twin, their versions and their structured data are untouched, and your files stay stored. Adding credit brings the images back at the same addresses. Storage keeps being measured while credit is out, since the files are still held, and your next top-up settles that first.

If 90 days pass without credit, the files held in the library are released and their addresses stop answering. Your pages and their text are untouched. This is the only case in which we remove anything for want of payment, and the date it would happen is shown to you on your own screen throughout those three months.

11. Availability and changes

We apply reasonable care to keep the Platform available and to keep published addresses answering. We give no service level commitment: interruptions, for maintenance or for reasons outside our control, may happen. The Platform evolves, and capabilities may be added or changed.

We may amend these Terms. Material changes are notified to you by reasonable means and apply to use of the Platform after they take effect. A change to the storage price applies only to storage after it takes effect; credit already bought keeps its monetary value.

12. Ending it

You may stop using the Platform whenever you want, and deleting your entity is described in section 4. Not buying credit costs nothing. We may suspend or terminate an access or an entity for a serious breach of these Terms, as set out in section 6.

13. Liability

The Platform is provided as is. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or intangible damage, including loss of revenue, of customers, of data, of image or of opportunity, nor for decisions you take on the basis of the Platform. Our total liability, on any basis whatsoever, is limited to the amounts you actually paid us during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to it.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, in particular fraud, gross negligence, and the mandatory rights of consumers.

You indemnify us against any third-party claim arising from what you publish or from your breach of section 6.

14. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for a failure caused by force majeure or by an event beyond its reasonable control, including the failure or unavailability of an infrastructure provider.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the consumer's country of residence. Any dispute falls to the competent courts of the State of Delaware, subject to the same reservation.

16. Miscellaneous

Personal data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. If any provision is held invalid, the others continue to apply. You may not assign this contract without our written consent. These Terms are the entire agreement about the Platform, and they are written in English, the language in which they are binding.
