Terms of use
Last updated: August 2026 · RELEASE is currently in beta.
What RELEASE is
RELEASE lets creators share protected previews of finished work, get paid through a secure payment link, and deliver the original files automatically once payment is confirmed. Payments are processed by Stripe; RELEASE is an independent product and is not affiliated with Stripe or Cloudflare.
Your content, your rights
Creators keep full ownership of everything they upload. By uploading, you grant RELEASE only the technical licence needed to operate the service: storing your files, generating watermarked previews, and delivering originals to clients who paid. Nothing more. You are responsible for having the rights to the work you sell, and for the commercial terms you agree with your clients — RELEASE provides the delivery and payment rail, not the contract between you and your client.
Acceptable use
Don't use RELEASE to distribute content you don't have the rights to, illegal content, or malware. We can suspend links or accounts that break this — it protects every other creator on the platform.
Payments & delivery
A payment link becomes payable once the creator activates it. After Stripe confirms a payment, the original files unlock for the buyer: individual downloads with verified checksums, exactly as uploaded. Records of completed transactions (including invoices) are retained as legally required. Refunds are a matter between creator and client, executed through Stripe where applicable.
Beta status
RELEASE is in active development. We work hard to keep the service reliable — durable processing, verified delivery, honest status pages — but during beta the service is provided “as is”, features may evolve, and we may need maintenance windows. We will never silently alter your original files: what you upload is what your client receives, byte for byte.
Account deletion
You can delete your account at any time from Account → Security & privacy. What is removed immediately and what is legally retained is spelled out on that page and in the privacy policy.
