THRES — Terms, but Human
Effective date: 2026-01-01
This document explains how THRES works, what you can expect from it, and what is expected from you.
It is written to be read by humans first. A legal appendix is included at the end to satisfy formal requirements.
1. What THRES is
THRES is a system for creating, storing, and sharing artifacts.
An artifact is not just a document. It is a structured result derived from what you provide — text, files, and intent.
What you see in THRES is always a surface: a readable projection of stored state.
2. Regeneration, not mutation
Artifacts in THRES are not endlessly edited line by line.
When inputs change, the artifact is regenerated. This preserves clarity and prevents gradual decay.
Artifacts are not silently rewritten.
3. Author view and public view
Author view
The author view exists to help you understand and improve an artifact.
It may include structure, metadata, warnings, or generation markers.
Public view
The public view is what others see.
It is clean, read-only, and derived only from the artifact itself. No private state or internal scaffolding is exposed.
4. Read-only by default
Shared artifacts are read-only by default.
This applies to public links, embedded views, and custom domains.
Editing is always explicit and intentional.
5. Files are limited — by design
Files are not free.
They consume storage, attention, and structure.
Each plan has limits on both file size and file count. Free plans include up to five files.
To add more files, you must overwrite existing ones or upgrade your plan.
This is a deliberate product decision.
6. Inactivity and degradation
If an account remains inactive for six months, artifacts may be gradually reduced in scope.
This reduction is visible and reversible by logging in.
Continued inactivity may eventually result in deletion.
7. Export and ownership
You can leave.
At any time, you may export your artifacts and attached files in a standard, readable format.
THRES does not claim ownership of your content. You retain all rights to what you provide.
8. Permanence and limits
Artifacts remain stable while your account is active.
THRES does not promise infinite storage or eternal preservation.
What is promised is explicit behavior: no silent mutation, no hidden changes, no deception.
9. Trust and transparency
Public surfaces may include a marker stating that they are projections of stored artifacts.
THRES does not present generated surfaces as immutable truth.
Legal Appendix
This section exists to meet legal requirements. It does not override the principles described above unless explicitly stated.
10. Service operator

11. Service availability
THRES is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis.
Uninterrupted availability is not guaranteed.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by EU law, THRES is not liable for indirect damages, loss of data, or loss of business resulting from use of the service.
Nothing in these terms limits liability where such limitation is not permitted under applicable law.
13. User responsibility
You are responsible for the content you upload or generate.
You must not use THRES for unlawful purposes or to distribute harmful or illegal material.
14. Account termination
Accounts that violate these terms or applicable law may be suspended or terminated.
Where possible, notice will be provided.
15. Changes to these terms
These terms may evolve as THRES evolves.
Continued use constitutes acceptance of updated terms.
16. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the European Union and the laws of Finland.
