Terms of Service
Last updated 30 October 2026 · version 2
1. Who we are
Mitos is provided by Stephen Paterson ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using Mitos you agree to these terms.
2. The service
Mitos is a web application for designing, documenting and, in future, deploying and monitoring networks. It runs in your browser and can be installed as an app.
3. The beta
3.1 Joining. Access during the beta is by invitation. Asking to join doesn't guarantee a place: the Mitos team chooses testers by hand and may decline, pause or withdraw an invitation without giving a reason.
3.2 Free, for now. Beta access is free. We'll give at least 30 days' notice before any paid plan applies to your account, and nothing will be charged without your agreement.
3.3 Provided as it is. The beta is pre-release software. Features may change, break or be withdrawn, and the service may be unavailable at times. We don't promise any level of availability or support during the beta and, as far as the law allows, we give no warranties about it.
3.4 Your files. Your designs are saved on your own device or storage (section 5), so keeping copies and backups of them is up to you. We can't recover a design we never held.
3.5 Feedback. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them to improve Mitos, without any obligation or payment to you. You keep ownership of your own designs.
3.6 Ending the beta. We may end the beta, or your beta access, at any time. Where we can, we'll tell you in advance so you can keep working on your own files.
3.7 Business use. Mitos is for business and professional use by people aged 18 or over. By joining, you confirm you're using it for your work.
4. Your account
You must give accurate details and keep your sign-in secure. You're responsible for activity on your account. Team owners are responsible for who they invite.
5. Your drawings are yours
Your designs are saved on your own device or storage, not on our servers. We don't claim any ownership of them. If you create a share link, we store a read-only copy only for as long as the link exists; you can revoke it at any time.
6. Our software and catalogue
The Mitos software, the device catalogue and associated content remain ours or our licensors'. You may use them to create designs for your own projects and your clients' projects. You may not copy, resell, scrape or reverse-engineer the catalogue or the software, or use them to build a competing product. Manufacturer names and product names are trademarks of their owners and are used only to identify their products.
7. Professional responsibility
7.1 Mitos is a design aid. It checks designs against rules and published manufacturer data, but it can't know everything about a site, and that data can be wrong or out of date.
7.2 Everything Mitos produces (drawings, schedules, labels, configurations and other documents) must be checked by a competent professional before it is used for purchasing, installation, configuration or deployment. You are responsible for that check and for the work you deliver to your clients and installers.
7.3 Don't present Mitos output as certified, approved or guaranteed by Mitos.
7.4 As far as the law allows, we are not liable for errors or omissions in anything Mitos produces, or for any loss, damage, delay or cost arising from installation, configuration or use of equipment based on it.
8. Acceptable use
Don't misuse the service: no attempts to break security, overload our systems, access other customers' data, or use Mitos for anything unlawful.
9. Liability
9.1 Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can't be limited by law.
9.2 Otherwise, we're not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, data, contracts or goodwill.
9.3 Our total liability to you in any 12 months is limited to the amount you paid us in that period. During the free beta, that is nothing.
10. Ending your account
You can close your account at any time from your account settings or by emailing [email protected]. We may suspend or close accounts that breach these terms, telling you why where we can.
11. No rights for anyone else
These terms are between you and us only. Nobody else, including your clients, installers or contractors, has any right to enforce them or to make a claim against us under them (Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999).
12. Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
