Terms of Service

Last updated: 9 July 2026

These terms govern your use of the hosted POCX service at pocx.dev, which is owned and operated by Haxo Pty Ltd. If you self-host the open-source version, that use is governed by the AGPL-3.0 license in the repository, not by these terms. Note these Terms of Service are different from the per-demo Terms of Access your viewers sign — see section 5.

1. Who we are

POCX and the hosted service at pocx.dev are owned, hosted and provided by Haxo Pty Ltd, a company incorporated in Australia (“Haxo”, “we”, “us”). You can reach us at pocx@haxo.com.au.

2. The service

POCX is an access layer for demos, prototypes and proof-of-concept applications: an invite-only email-code gate, e-signed Terms of Access, revocable sessions and an audit trail, placed in front of an application you control. We provide the front door; your application and its content remain yours and run on your infrastructure.

The software is open source (AGPL-3.0, SDK under MIT). These terms apply only to the hosted service we operate at pocx.dev. Self-hosted deployments are not operated by us and we are not responsible for them.

3. Accounts and workspaces

You must provide a working email address you control — it is your identity on POCX (we use one-time codes, not passwords).
You are responsible for activity in your workspace, including team members you invite.
You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract, and use the service on behalf of a business or professional activity.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use POCX to gate unlawful content, malware, phishing pages, or content that infringes someone else's rights;
invite viewers whose email addresses you have no right to use, or use the gate to send unsolicited email;
attempt to bypass, probe or overload the gate, other tenants' workspaces, or plan limits (good-faith security research reported responsibly per our security policy is welcome);
resell or offer the hosted service under your own brand without our written agreement.

5. Your Terms of Access and your viewers

The Terms of Access that viewers e-sign before entering your demo are an agreement between you and your viewer. We are not a party to it. We record the evidence — the signed text’s SHA-256 hash, the verified email, timestamp, IP address and user agent — and issue a PDF certificate, but we do not review or enforce your terms.

The standard template we provide is a starting point, not legal advice. Whether a given clause is enforceable in your jurisdiction is a question for your lawyer.

You are responsible for having a lawful basis to invite your viewers and for the content of any custom terms you present through POCX.

6. Plans, billing and cancellation

The Free plan is free. Pro is billed per workspace, monthly or yearly, via Stripe. Prices are shown on the pricing page and may change with notice — never mid-billing-period.
You can cancel anytime from the dashboard; access continues to the end of the period you have paid for. After that your gates keep working within Free limits — viewers are not locked out.
Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable once the billing period has started.

7. Intellectual property

Your demos, your content and your data stay yours. The POCX software is licensed under AGPL-3.0 (service) and MIT (SDK). “POCX” and the POCX logo are trademarks of Haxo Pty Ltd — you may self-host and modify the software under its license, but you may not offer a derived product or service under the POCX name without written permission.

8. Availability and disclaimers

We run the hosted service with care, but it is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, and scheduled or emergency maintenance may occur. POCX is an access-control layer — it makes taking your work accountable and evidenced; no system can make copying physically impossible.

9. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that cannot be excluded. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, or loss of business opportunities — including opportunities connected to a demo gated with POCX.

10. Suspension and termination

You may delete your workspace at any time. We may suspend or terminate a workspace that materially breaches these terms (we will tell you why and, where reasonable, give you a chance to fix it first). On termination you can request an export of your audit data within 30 days.
