Terms of Service

These terms apply when you visit deskfast.com or pre-order a Deskfast license. Read them carefully. Buying a license means you accept what's below.

Last updated May 12, 2026

What you're buying

Product

Deskfast is a software boilerplate for shipping paid desktop apps, sold under a single-buyer license. A purchase covers a one-time license to clone and use the Deskfast source for any apps you ship commercially under your own brand, plus lifetime updates to the boilerplate codebase.

Founder tier extras

Early bird buyers also receive access to a founder Discord channel and 90 days of direct founder support, starting on the v1 release date.

License scope

The license is per buyer, not per app. You may build and ship as many apps as you want under your own brand from a single purchase. Full license terms are described in the License Agreement.

Pre-order terms

Timing

Pre-orders are charged immediately through Stripe at the time of purchase. The first public release is targeted for July 2026. You will receive your license key and repository access by email on the release date.

If the date moves

If the release date slips, we will email everyone who pre-ordered with an updated timeline before the original date passes. You can request a refund at any time before release.

Refunds

Policy

Full refund within 30 days of your pre-order, no questions asked. If the v1 release has not shipped at the time you ask, the refund window remains open until it does.

How to request

Email hi@deskfast.com from the address you used for purchase. Refunds are processed back to the original payment method through Stripe and typically appear within 5 to 10 business days.

What's included

In the box

  • Full Deskfast boilerplate source on release day

Intellectual property

Ownership

Deskfast retains ownership of the Deskfast boilerplate source, deskfast.com, and all related trademarks. Your purchase grants you the license described in the License Agreement, not ownership of the underlying boilerplate.

What you build

Anything you build on top of Deskfast is yours. Your app, your customers, your revenue, your IP.

Disclaimers

As is

The Deskfast boilerplate and the deskfast.com website are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do our best to keep both working and shipping updates, but we make no warranties that the boilerplate or the site will be uninterrupted, bug-free, or fit for a particular purpose.

Upstream changes

Code signing requirements, OS APIs, and third-party services (Stripe, Apple, Microsoft) change over time. We will update the boilerplate accordingly when feasible, but we can't guarantee continuity of any specific upstream feature.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Deskfast and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of the boilerplate or this website. Total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you actually paid for your license.

Changes to these terms

If we update these terms, we will email everyone who has pre-ordered or who is on the launch list and post the updated version here with a new effective date. Continued use of Deskfast after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [your jurisdiction — please fill this in before launch]. Any disputes that aren't resolved by direct conversation will be handled in the courts of that jurisdiction.
