Terms of Service

These terms apply when you use zlo — the website, the Wall, Code Studio, challenges, and anything else we run under the zlo name. By signing in or using zlo, you agree to them.

zlo is in beta

zlo is an invite-only beta. Features change often, some things will break, and we may reset or remove parts of the service while we build it. We provide zlo“as is”, without promises that it will always be available or error-free. Keep your own copies of anything important.

Your account

You sign in with your Google account. One account is for one person — don't share it, and don't sign in as someone else. You're responsible for what happens on your account. You must be old enough to use online services on your own where you live (at least 13).

Your work stays yours

You own what you make on zlo: your projects, items, code, images, notes, and challenge submissions. To run the service, you give us permission to store your work, show it to you, and — only when you choose to publish it — display it publicly on the Wall and on its share links. That permission ends when you delete the work or unpublish it, except for copies already shared by others or held briefly in backups.

Private until you publish

Projects are private by default. Publishing (“Flash”) a project, item, or challenge submission makes it visible to anyone, including people who aren't signed in. You can unpublish or delete it at any time.

Challenges

Each challenge has its own brief, which sets what to submit, the deadline, and any prize. If a brief and these terms disagree, the brief wins for that challenge. Submitted work must be your own. We may remove entries that break the brief or our Community Guidelines.

Prices on posts

Creators can show a price on their work. zlodoesn't process payments: any deal is between you and the creator, and we're not part of it.

Using zlo fairly

Follow the Community Guidelines. Don't try to break, overload, or get around the security ofzlo, and don't scrape it or collect other people's information. We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these terms.

Changes

We'll update these terms as zlogrows, and change the date at the top when we do. If a change matters, we'll tell you in the app. Using zlo after a change means you accept it.
