Summary

This is the legal agreement between you and Fly.io covering your use of their cloud hosting platform, including how your applications and data are stored and managed on their servers. The most important thing to know is that if something goes wrong with your hosted services, Fly.io's financial liability to you is capped at only what you paid them in the previous three months, which could be a very small amount relative to business losses. You should also be aware that by using the service you are agreeing to resolve disputes through individual arbitration rather than through court or class action lawsuits.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document governs the terms under which Fly.io (operated by Fly.io, Inc.) provides cloud application hosting and infrastructure services to customers, establishing a binding agreement between the company and any entity or individual accessing the platform. The agreement states that customers are responsible for all activity under their accounts, grants Fly.io a license to host and process customer content solely to provide the services, and authorizes Fly.io to suspend or terminate accounts for violation of the Acceptable Use Policy or non-payment with limited prior notice. Notable provisions include a broad limitation of liability capping Fly.io's exposure at amounts paid in the prior three months, a mutual arbitration clause with a class action waiver for US-based disputes, and terms permitting Fly.io to modify service pricing and terms with notice posted to the website rather than direct individual notification. The agreement engages general consumer protection frameworks enforced by the FTC, and state-level consumer protection laws including California's, with the arbitration and class action waiver provisions warranting particular scrutiny under applicable state and federal law. Compliance teams should note that the data processing provisions reference a separate Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement, meaning the full scope of data handling obligations requires review of multiple documents.
