Terms of service

Last updated 12 August 2026

Who provides Aetherboard

Aetherboard is provided by Melis AI Pty Ltd (ACN 623 487 089, ABN 62 623 487 089), an Australian company with its registered office in Queensland 4101, Australia. Contact sean@melis.ai for service, cancellation or legal notices.

The service and this agreement

The Aetherboard website provides a temporary canvas so you can try the product. Aetherboard Local is a downloadable Mac and Windows application and readable source bundle sold for one payment. By creating an account, buying the download or using an existing cloud subscription, you agree to these terms and the Privacy Notice.

Your account and content

You are responsible for your account access and for content you place on a board. You own that content. Content created in Aetherboard Local stays on your device unless you choose to copy or share it. Content in the existing cloud service gives us only the limited permission needed to store, process and display it for you.

Acceptable use

Do not use the service to break the law, violate another person's rights, distribute malware, probe the service without permission or interfere with other customers.

Aetherboard Local

The standard price is USD $99 once, plus any tax shown at checkout. The first 100 completed purchases qualify for the Founding Owner Edition at USD $49 once. The remaining number shown on the website comes from completed purchases recorded by our server; opening checkout does not reserve a place.

Your purchase gives one person a perpetual, non-transferable licence to use Aetherboard Local on their own devices and modify the included source for personal use. It includes every update we release, for life: there is no paid upgrade to a later version, and no subscription or future payment of any kind is required. You may make personal backup copies. You may not resell, redistribute or publish the application, bundle or modified source as a competing product.

After payment, you choose when to start the download. Before it begins, we ask for your express consent to immediate supply and your acknowledgement that the 14-day cancellation right ends when the download starts. If you have not started the download, you may cancel within 14 days by emailing us from the purchase address. This does not reduce any statutory right or remedy for faulty, misdescribed or non-conforming software.

Existing cloud subscriptions

Existing cloud subscriptions continue under the price and renewal terms shown when they were purchased until cancelled. Cancellation stops the next charge and access continues to the end of the paid period. Manage the subscription in Settings or email us. Stripe processes payments and keeps the payment record.

Consumer rights

We provide the service with reasonable care and skill and as described. If it fails, you may require repair or repeat performance and, where the law allows, a price reduction, refund or cancellation. Australian Consumer Law and the mandatory consumer rights where you live continue to apply. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or another liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Risk and liability

Back up important local work and keep a copy of the downloaded bundle. Aetherboard Local stores work on your device; we cannot recover files lost through device failure, deletion or an unavailable backup. The software is not a substitute for professional advice. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Closing an account

The temporary website canvas is not a permanent hosted board and may be lost when its browser session ends. Closing your online account does not revoke a valid Aetherboard Local licence or delete files already on your device. To close the account and delete its online data, email sean@melis.ai. We may suspend an account where reasonably necessary for security, unlawful use or a material breach, and will explain the reason where lawful.

Law and disputes

Queensland, Australia law governs these terms and Queensland courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not remove mandatory rights where you live, and you may use the courts of your home country.
