Terms of Service for public pages

Version 1 · 30 October 2026 · for public pages at <name>.palmtop.page, published from PriorStates Studio

These terms are an agreement between you and PriorStates, New Jersey, USA (“PriorStates”, “we”, “us”). They cover public pages: the one-page sites you publish from PriorStates Studio at an address such as yourname.palmtop.page (“your page”). The rest of Studio, which keeps your apps and data on your own devices, needs no agreement. Our privacy policy says what we collect and why.

You accept these terms when you tap “Agree and publish” in Studio. If you publish for a business or another organisation, you accept them for it as well, and you confirm you may do so. You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough where you live to make this agreement, or have a parent’s or guardian’s permission.

1. Your publishing account

Publishing needs a publishing account: an email address you confirm with a code. Keep access to that address; it is how you sign in and how we reach you about your page.
Each account has one free page. You are responsible for what is published from your account.
Don’t create accounts in bulk or to get around a limit or a removal.

2. Your page stays yours

You keep every right you have in what you publish: your words, photos, logos and design. We claim no ownership.

So that we can run the service, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, process and display your page, and to serve it to anyone who opens its address. “Process” includes the changes our server makes to every page: removing scripts, forms and outside content, and adding our footer with “Made with PriorStates Studio” and “Report this page”. If you let search engines list your page, the licence also covers letting them read it.

The licence lasts while your page is published. It ends when you unpublish, except for copies our systems take a short time to clear, and anything we must keep to deal with a report, a legal claim or the law. We won’t sell your page or use it in our advertising without asking you first.

3. You are responsible for your page

You promise that you own what you publish, or have permission to use it, and that publishing it doesn’t break the law or anyone else’s rights (copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity).
You promise that what your page says about you or your business is not misleading.
We don’t review pages before they go live. You are responsible for your page and for what happens because of it.
If someone brings a claim against us because of your page or your breach of these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses from it, as far as the law allows.

4. Acceptable use

Your page must follow our Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of these terms. In short: no phishing, no impersonation, no asking for passwords or payment details, nothing illegal or infringing, no adult content, no malware, no spam, and no harassment.

5. When we may hide or remove a page

We may hide or remove a page, hold its name, or suspend or close an account when we believe it breaks these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, when the law requires it, or to protect visitors, other users or the service.
A page reported by several different people is hidden automatically until we review it.
Where we can, we tell you by email what we did and why. For phishing, malware or anything that puts people at risk, we act first and tell you afterwards.
A hidden or removed page shows “This page is not available”. Your app still has its content on your device.

Appeals. If you think we got it wrong, write to service@priorstates.com with your page’s address. A person will look at it again and reply.

6. Copyright complaints

We respond to notices of copyright infringement under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

To report a page that copies your work, send a notice to our designated agent with:

your physical or electronic signature;
the work you say is infringed;
the address of the page and what on it infringes;
your name, postal address, phone number and email;
a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law;
a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

Designated agent: Copyright Agent, PriorStates, email service@priorstates.com (subject “Copyright notice”).

When we receive a complete notice, we remove or hide the material and tell the page’s owner.

Counter-notice. If your page was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, send our agent a counter-notice with:

your physical or electronic signature;
the page that was removed and its address before removal;
a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification;
your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the United States, any judicial district where PriorStates may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

We forward the counter-notice to the person who complained. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we restore the page within 10 to 14 business days after we received the counter-notice.

Notices and counter-notices that knowingly misrepresent something can make the sender liable for damages. We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe. Trademark complaints go to service@priorstates.com.

7. A free service that may change

Public pages are free today. We may change the service, its features and its limits (for example the page size, or the number of pages per account). We may also stop offering it. If we stop the service, or make a change that takes away something you rely on, we will tell you at least 30 days ahead by email and on our website, unless security or the law requires faster action. Your app keeps your page’s content on your device, so you can keep it or publish it elsewhere.

8. No warranty

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We don’t promise that it will always be available or free of errors, that search engines will list your page, or that a name will stay available to you after you give it up. As far as the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

9. Limits on our liability

As far as the law allows, PriorStates is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from the service or these terms. Our total liability for any claim about the service is limited to US$100. Some places don’t allow these limits; where they don’t, they apply only as far as allowed. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived.

10. Ending

You can unpublish your page at any time in the app; it is gone at once. To delete your account and everything it published, write to service@priorstates.com. We may end these terms for an account under section 5. Sections 2 (for copies we may keep), 3, 8, 9 and 12 continue after the agreement ends.

11. Changes to these terms

When we change these terms, we publish a new version on this page with a new number and date. The next time you publish or rename your page, Studio shows “Our terms have changed” and asks you to accept the new version. Until you accept, your page stays up as it is, but you can’t update or rename it. If you don’t agree, you can unpublish. We may also email you about important changes.

12. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, and applicable US federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.

If part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don’t enforce a term at once, we haven’t given it up. These terms, the Acceptable Use Policy and the privacy policy are the whole agreement about public pages.
