Terms of use

Porto is in public beta. Features may change, break, or disappear without notice. We may limit access, usage, or availability at any time. The service is provided on an “as is” basis while we learn and improve.

You must be able to form a binding contract to use Porto. You are responsible for your account and for activity under it. Keep your email access secure; sign-in codes are sent to the address you provide.

Each account is intended for one portfolio site unless we say otherwise. You may not share accounts in a way that circumvents usage limits.

You retain ownership of the text, images, and other material you add to your site. You grant us a licence to host, store, process, display, and publish your content as needed to operate Porto—including generating static files, serving your public site, and running backups.

You represent that you have the rights to upload and publish your content, and that it does not violate law or third-party rights. You are responsible for what you publish.

When you publish, your site becomes publicly available at your Porto subdomain (and any redirects we configure). Unpublish or edit content in the builder if you no longer want it public. Old URLs may continue to redirect after slug changes.

Porto includes AI-assisted editing. Suggestions may be wrong, incomplete, or inappropriate. Review every change before applying or publishing. We do not guarantee accuracy, originality, or fitness for a particular purpose for AI output.

Do not submit confidential, sensitive, or personal information about others through chat unless you are entitled to share it.

You agree not to:

• use Porto for unlawful, harmful, or abusive purposes;
• upload malware, spam, or content that infringes intellectual property or privacy rights;
• attempt to break, overload, scrape, or reverse engineer the service;
• resell or misrepresent Porto as your own product without permission.

We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe you have violated these terms or put the service or other users at risk.

Porto is free during public beta. We may introduce paid plans or usage limits later. If we do, we will describe them before they apply to you. We may enforce daily limits on AI generations and other features to keep the service stable.

Porto integrates with third-party providers (hosting, database, AI, email). Your use of those features may be subject to their terms. Links on your published site lead to third parties we do not control.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Porto is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation, or that published sites will remain online indefinitely.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of Porto. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of CAD $100 or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim (likely zero during beta).

You will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your content, your published site, or your misuse of Porto, except to the extent caused by our own negligence or wilful misconduct.

You may stop using Porto at any time. You can delete your account in Settings, which removes your site and sign-in access. We may suspend or terminate the service or your access with or without notice, especially during beta. Sections that by nature should survive (content licences already exercised, disclaimers, liability limits) will survive termination.

We may update these terms. We will post the new version on this page and update the date above. Material changes may also be noted in the app. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the applicable laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be brought in the courts of British Columbia, unless applicable consumer protection law requires otherwise.
