Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

Plain-language summary: Use the site honestly. Don’t scrape it. The early access form doesn’t guarantee you a spot or lock us into a launch date. The accounting guide is education, not professional advice. Full details below.

About these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Ciste website at cistemission.com and, when it launches, the Ciste application at cistemission.app. By using our site or submitting the early access form, you agree to these terms.

Ciste is currently pre-launch. These terms cover the marketing site and early access signup process. We will update them when the product launches to cover subscription terms, data processing, and product-specific policies.

Use of the site

You may use this site for lawful purposes. You agree not to:

- Use the site in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations - Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site or its infrastructure - Submit false or misleading information in the early access form - Use automated tools to scrape or collect data from the site without permission

We reserve the right to restrict access to the site for any user who violates these terms.

Early access list

When you submit the early access form, you are expressing interest in the Ciste product. Submitting the form does not create a contract, guarantee access, or establish a customer relationship. We make no commitment to launch by any particular date or to admit any particular applicant to early access.

We will use your submission to contact you about the product. You can ask to be removed from our list at any time by emailing hello@cistemission.com.

Disclaimer of warranties

This site and its content are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We make no representations about the accuracy or completeness of the information on this site.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ciste shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content. Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of this site is limited to $100.

Third-party services

This site uses Tally.so for the early access form and Umami for analytics. These are independent services with their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of these third-party services.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the product evolves. We will post updated terms at this URL and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of the United States.
