Terms of Service

Last updated: April 28, 2026

1. Who we are

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of ReleaseBell, operated by Zeroject (trading as ReleaseBell), Herstedvang 8, 2620 Albertslund, Denmark, Denmark (“we”, “us”, “ReleaseBell”). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms.

2. The service

ReleaseBell is a changelog hosting platform. We provide tools for you (“product owner”) to:

• Publish changelog entries for your products
• Collect email subscriber sign-ups via a public changelog page
• Send email notifications to your subscribers when you publish new entries
• Embed a changelog widget on your own website

3. Account registration

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must be at least 16 years old to use ReleaseBell.

4. Plans and future billing

ReleaseBell currently operates on a free tier. The following paid plans are published as planned pricing:

Product and subscriber caps are enforced by tier in the current release. Paid billing and account-level subscription management (including cancellation flows) are not yet enabled publicly. While billing is not enabled, references to paid plans are roadmap/pricing-intent information only and are not an offer to bill. If and when paid billing is enabled, we will update these Terms and provide account holders advance notice.

If your subscriber count exceeds your plan's limit, new subscriptions will be blocked and email notifications will only be sent to subscribers up to your plan's cap. Upgrade to a higher plan to remove this restriction.

We reserve the right to change pricing with at least 30 days' advance notice to account holders via email.

5. Acceptable use policy

You agree not to use ReleaseBell to:

• Send unsolicited commercial email (spam) — all subscribers must have explicitly opted in
• Collect subscriber emails for purposes other than changelog notifications for the product they signed up for
• Impersonate another person, company, or product
• Distribute malware, phishing links, or harmful content via changelog entries or emails
• Violate any applicable law or regulation, including data protection laws (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CASL)
• Scrape, reverse-engineer, or abuse the ReleaseBell platform or API
• Use the service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose
• Exceed your plan's subscriber limits by technical circumvention

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate this policy, with or without notice depending on the severity of the violation.

7. Subscriber data and your responsibilities as a data controller
