Terms of Service

Publishd (“we,” “us”) is a service operated by Daniel Castellani, a solo engineer based in Connecticut, USA. Publishd ships customers’ web apps to the Apple App Store and Google Play. All billing is processed by SuperClawHub, the parent SaaS entity that runs Publishd. Publishd and SuperClawHub are operated by the same person and share one Stripe account.

Depending on the tier you purchase, Publishd delivers one or more of the following:

• Wrapping and submission of an existing web app to the App Store and/or Google Play.
• Generation of required store assets (icons, screenshots, metadata, privacy policy).
• Certificate, provisioning, bundle ID, and App Signing management.
• Appeal of Apple or Google rejections, up to a reasonable number of resubmissions.
• Custom native iOS/Android or SaaS build (under the Studio tier only, scoped separately).
• Coaching sessions in place of full submission work (Coaching tier only).

The exact scope for each tier is described on the pricing section of publishd.app.

• Publishd services are priced as a one-time fee, except the optional Retainer add-on which is monthly.
• All prices are in USD. Taxes, if applicable, are added at checkout.
• Apple Developer Program ($99/year) and Google Play Console ($25 one-time) fees are paid directly by you to Apple and Google. They are not part of Publishd’s fee.
• Payments are processed by SuperClawHub via Stripe. Your card statement will show SUPERCLAWHUB or PUBLISHD.
• No subscription and no lock-in, unless you explicitly opt into the $49/month Retainer.

• If Publishd is unable to deliver the purchased service for reasons within our control (we lose access, we disappear, we fail to submit), you get a full refund.
• If Apple or Google permanently rejects your app for reasons we cannot remedy after three good-faith submission attempts, you get a 50% refund. The remaining 50% covers the real work already completed (assets, metadata, submissions, appeal writing).
• Once an app is live in at least one store, refunds are not available — the service has been delivered.
• Retainer subscriptions can be cancelled at any time. No partial refunds for partial months.

• You retain 100% ownership of your app, its source code, branding, user data, and all derivative assets produced during the engagement.
• For the Studio tier, full source code is delivered to you at completion. No escrow, no residuals, no ongoing claim by Publishd.
• Publishd may, with your written consent, describe the engagement at a high level for marketing purposes (e.g. case studies). Without written consent, Publishd will not name, logo, or screenshot your work publicly.

Anything you send us — source code, design files, business plans, credentials, user data, analytics, revenue figures, roadmaps, unreleased features — is treated as confidential. We will not:

• Redistribute your code or assets to any third party.
• Publish, sell, license, or reuse your code in any other project.
• Discuss your business with other Publishd customers or with the public.
• Use your work as training data for any AI system.

The only exceptions are (a) disclosure required by law or valid legal process, and (b) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of ours. Credentials you share (store account logins, GitHub access, API keys) are destroyed or revoked at the end of the engagement.

Every app we ship under your Apple Developer and Google Play accounts pays its in-app purchase, ad, and subscription revenue directly to your payout destinations. Publishd never holds or routes your app revenue. This is deliberate and keeps both of us aligned with Apple and Google platform terms.

• You warrant that you have the legal right to the content, trademarks, images, and data in the app you send us. You are responsible for any IP infringement claims.
• You provide timely access — dev accounts, repos, URLs, credentials — as requested.
• You agree to abide by Apple Developer Program License Agreement and Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement. Publishd submits under your accounts; you remain the legal app publisher.
• You warrant that your app is not malicious, deceptive, illegal, or in violation of Apple or Google content policies.

Publishd reserves the right to decline or end any engagement, with a pro-rated or full refund, if:

• The app contains illegal content, malware, deceptive claims, or likely Apple/Google guideline violations we cannot resolve.
• The customer engages in abusive, harassing, discriminatory, or threatening communication.
• The customer provides false information or attempts to use Publishd to violate third-party rights.
• The project scope materially exceeds what was purchased and cannot be re-scoped amicably.
• We determine, in good faith, that completing the engagement would put Publishd, SuperClawHub, or Daniel personally at risk.

If we end the engagement before work is substantially complete, we refund unearned fees. If we end it after substantial completion due to policy violations by you, no refund is owed.

Publishd is independent of Apple Inc. and Google LLC. We do not control their review decisions, timelines, or policies. We use best efforts to prepare and submit apps in a way that maximizes approval odds, but cannot guarantee Apple or Google will approve any specific app.

When you use Publishd, you may also be interacting with the following third parties under their own terms and privacy policies:

• Stripe (payments) — stripe.com/legal
• Groq (help bot) — groq.com/privacy-policy
• Cloudflare (hosting) — cloudflare.com/legal
• Apple Developer Program and Google Play Console — both parties’ own terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Publishd’s total liability for any claim arising out of your use of our services is limited to the amount you actually paid Publishd for the specific service in dispute. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages — including lost revenue, lost users, or lost app-store rankings.

Publishd responds within six (6) business hours on weekdays. When traveling or offline, we post an auto-reply with the expected response window. Post-purchase customers receive a direct phone number for SMS contact during the engagement.

Either party may end the engagement at any time by written notice. Fees for work already performed remain due. Publishd will deliver all completed assets, source code, and credentials in its possession within seven (7) days of termination.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Venue for any dispute is the state or federal courts located in Connecticut.

We may update these terms from time to time. The version in effect when you purchase a service governs that engagement. Material changes will be announced on this page with an updated date at the top.
