Plain-English summary

The terms of service for Penpot contain several concerning clauses. Kaleidos disclaims liability for unauthorized account use even if reported, meaning you bear the financial responsibility for any damages. For free trials or subscriptions, your account can be canceled at any time without notice or liability, potentially leading to data loss (risk_flags-2, risk_flags-3). Furthermore, Kaleidos provides its services without any warranties and explicitly disclaims liability for a wide range of service failures, including security vulnerabilities and viruses (risk_flags-4, risk_flags-5). There's also an exclusion of liability for significant damages such as lost profits or data, and any total liability is capped at the fees paid in the last 12 months (risk_flags-6, risk_flags-7). Lastly, you are fully responsible for indemnifying Kaleidos for any claims arising from the content or data you upload (risk_flags-8).

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, in no event will Kaleidos be liable to you or to any third party for any loss of profits, loss of data, or any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages of any kind arising out of, or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or with your use (or inability to use) Kaleidos’ Products & Services, even if Kaleidos has been advised or is otherwise aware of the possibility of such damages.

Why it matters: Your employer or any third-party controlling your registration email can access your account and all its data without your consent or prior notification, and Kaleidos will not be liable for this access.

Unilateral amendment

Why it matters: Your uploaded content could be removed at Kaleidos' discretion if they believe it violates their terms, laws, or third-party rights, potentially leading to loss of your work or data without prior notice.
