Zeplin, Inc. (“Zeplin”)’s websites located at https://zeplin.io and https://omlet.dev (the “Sites”). Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy (https://zeplin.io/privacy) (“Privacy Policy”) carefully because they govern your use of our Sites and our design application collaboration and development platform, our component analytics and design system tools, and related tools and services accessible via our Sites and other Windows and macOS-based applications. Such tools and services may be identified by the product names “Zeplin,” “Omlet,” and other names of products and features we offer. To make these Terms easier to read, the Sites and our services are collectively called the “Services”, and the terms “Zeplin” “we,” and “us” refer to Zeplin, Inc. and our Affiliates and subsidiaries.
These summary notes are only for reference only. You and Zeplin are bound by the full legal wording, not by these summaries.
1. Agreement to Terms
By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer), its Affiliates (defined as any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such entity), or other legal entity (an “Organization”), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that Organization to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to you and that Organization, unless context requires otherwise. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an Organization as an “Administrator” (defined as an authorized administrator of the Services for the Organization, which may include the management of Payment Information), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to manage your Organization’s use of the Services under these Terms. You further agree that, if you have purchased a Zeplin Enterprise Plan, then the Zeplin Terms of Service for Enterprise (www.zeplin.io/enterprise/terms) apply with respect to any provisions that conflict with these Terms, absent another agreement between you and Zeplin.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ZEPLIN THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 17 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION (INCLUDING THE PROCEDURE TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION).
By using Zeplin, you agree to these Terms.
2. Privacy Policy
Please refer to our Privacy Policy available at https://zeplin.io/privacy for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy.
Our Privacy Policy is part of these Terms.
3. Changes to Terms or Services
We may update the Terms at any time, at our sole discretion. If we make material changes to the Terms, we’ll let you know ahead of time either by posting the updated Terms on the Sites or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them as they govern your use of the Services. The changes will not be retroactive, and if you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 17(f) “Effect of Changes on Arbitration,” you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, including the types of subscription plans we offer and the pricing for such plans, at any time, at our sole discretion.
We want to keep you informed of important changes to these Terms, but some revisions aren’t mission-critical. We don’t want to bother you every time we fix a typo. So while we may modify these Terms at any time, we will notify you of any material changes beforehand.
4. Description of Services
- Zeplin provides you the functionality to convert your application (“User Application”) into a format that is compatible with the relevant iOS, Android, and other software platforms. Subject to the restrictions set forth herein and in your Subscription Plan (as defined in Section 5(b)), you may also be able to invite a limited (or unlimited if your Subscription Plan permits) number of your colleagues, friends, family or others to access the Services by registering and creating an account with Zeplin using the unique login credentials provided by Zeplin (“Authorized Users”) to collaborate and propose changes or edits to the User Applications related to a particular project or projects (each, a “Project”) for which you invite them (each such Authorized User who is invited to contribute to a Project is called a “Team Member” for that Project). Unless you change your settings, only the Team Members invited to collaborate on a Project will have access to the User Applications in that Project. Organizations may also create a unique digital space designated for such Organization where a group of Authorized Users may access Projects and use the Services (each, a “Workspace”). We may also provide you with access to certain “Tools” (e.g., color selection for your designs), so you can visualize certain changes in your User Application.
- Omlet provides you the functionality to Scan (as defined below) code for Component (as defined below) metadata in order to analyze the use of Components in such code and visualize the resulting data. ”Component” means a reusable block of code (including but not limited to design elements and user interface elements) present in each Scanned repository analyzed through the Services. “Scan” means a review of code that you or your Authorized Users analyze through the Services. The cumulative Components in a repository are found or identified by the Services during a Scan. Subject to the restrictions set forth herein and in your Subscription Plan (as defined in Section 5(b)), you may also be able to invite a limited (or unlimited if your Subscription Plan permits) number of Team Members to collaborate inside a Workspace to review Scan analyses. Unless you change your settings, only the Team Members invited to collaborate on a Workspace will have access to that Workspace. Organizations may also create a unique Workspace for such Scan projects.
5. Eligibility for, Access to, and Restrictions on, Use of Services
- Eligibility. You may use the Services only if you are 13 years or older and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.

You can do this via the Sites through our online registration procedures which we may update from time to time. Access to certain features of the Services will be limited to the number of Authorized Users allowed by the subscription plan that you choose from the options provided on the pricing page available at https://zeplin.io/pricing and https://omlet.dev/pricing (each, a “Subscription Plan”).
- Accuracy of Account Information. It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. Each user identification number and password combination is a unique authentication credential to be used by only one Authorized User. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all user identifications and/or passwords and for ensuring that none of your Authorized Users share their identification number and/or password with any third party or with each other. Intentional sharing of, or allowing the continuation of shared use of an authentication credential, is a direct violation of the terms set forth in this Section. You are solely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your Account. You will not (and will not allow any Authorized User to) share your username and password with anyone (including any (other) Authorized Users). You agree to immediately notify Zeplin of any unauthorized use of your Account, any user identification and/or password, or any other breach of security that comes to your knowledge. Zeplin will have no liability for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the terms set forth in this Section.
- Restrictions. You shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any Authorized User or third party to: (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the object code, source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Services; (ii) modify, translate, or create derivative works based on any element of the Services or any related documentation; (iii) rent, lease, distribute, sell, resell, assign, or otherwise transfer your rights to use the Services; (iv) use the Services for time-sharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of any person or entity other than for your own benefit; (v) remove any proprietary notices from Zeplin materials furnished or made available to you; (vi) perform, publish, or disclose to third parties any evaluation or benchmark tests or analyses relating to the Services or use thereof without Zeplin’s prior written consent; or (vii) use the Services for any purpose other than its intended purpose. You agree that you will be directly responsible and liable to us for: (i) ensuring that your Authorized Users agree to, and comply with, our Terms, and (ii) any violation of these Terms or applicable law by any Authorized User.
You must be over 13 to use Zeplin. You will need an account to use Zeplin, and each account is for one person only—you cannot share accounts.
You need to ask us and get permission before using Zeplin or accessing data in ways not clearly intended.
6. Confidentiality and Feedback
- Confidentiality. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by us to you, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the non-public nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Zeplin’s Confidential Information may include, but is not limited to, the Services, Zeplin Content, and Beta Services (as defined below). You will use a reasonable degree of care to protect the Confidential Information. You will not use any Confidential Information for any purpose outside the scope of these Terms or disclose Confidential Information to any third party.
- Feedback. We welcome feedback, comments, ideas, enhancement requests, and suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”). You can submit Feedback by emailing us at support@zeplin.io (for Zeplin Feedback) or support@omlet.dev (for Omlet Feedback) or by otherwise communicating with us. If you choose to submit Feedback, you grant to us a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, under any and all intellectual property rights that you own or control to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose.
Don’t share information that’s obviously confidential with other people, unless we say it’s ok.
Let us know of any ways to improve! If you tell us something, you agree we can use that feedback in any way.
7. Payments and Subscription
Zeplin may provide the Services for free, or it may require you to pay for the Services based on the type of Services, number of Authorized Users, Components, Scans, number of active Projects, and other criteria presented on our pricing pages available at https://zeplin.io/pricing and https://omlet.dev/pricing (as applicable) that you opt for. Accordingly, you may choose the type of subscription you want to avail. You will be liable to pay Zeplin in accordance with your Subscription Plan. You may increase the number of Authorized Users, Projects, Components, Scans or other features under your Subscription Plan (as applicable) at any time during the term of your Subscription by increasing such number under your Account and payment of the necessary fee for such increase in accordance with Section 7(b).
- General. When you purchase a subscription to any of the Services (each, a “Subscription”), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge you for the term of your Subscription each time your payment is due in accordance with your Subscription Plan (each, a “Transaction”). We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number (or other payment information), the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a Transaction, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your Transaction and to charge your payment method for the type of Transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information).
- Subscriptions. If you purchase a Subscription, you will be charged the monthly or annual (as applicable) Subscription fee, plus any applicable taxes, and other charges (“Subscription Fee”), at the beginning of your Subscription and each month or year (as applicable) thereafter, at the then-current Subscription Fee. Similarly, if you agree to a Subscription Fee, that will remain your price for the duration of the Subscription period; however, prices are subject to change at the end of a Subscription period. If you purchase a Subscription, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you each month or year on the anniversary of the commencement of your Subscription, using the Payment Information you have provided until you cancel your Subscription. By agreeing to these Terms and electing to purchase a Subscription, you acknowledge that your Subscription has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your Subscription by you or Zeplin. Your Subscription continues until canceled by you or we terminate your access to or use of the Services or Subscription in accordance with these Terms. If you increase the number of Authorized Users, Projects, Components, Scans, or other features (as applicable) by changing such number under your Account, you expressly authorize us (or our third party processor) to charge your credit card on file for the pro-rated Subscription Fee corresponding to the additional Authorized Users, Projects, Components, Scans, or other features (as applicable) for the remainder of your Subscription term. Similarly, your Subscription Plan may include limits on the number of Authorized Users, Projects, Components, Scans, or other features (“Usage Limits”). If your usage exceeds any such Usage Limits, we may restrict your access to certain features of the Services until you elect the appropriate Subscription Plan that aligns with your usage.
- Effect of Termination on Subscription. Our general policy is that YOUR PURCHASE IS FINAL AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE AND/OR RECEIVE A REFUND OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FEE AT ANY TIME. In addition, if something unexpected happens in the course of completing a Transaction, we reserve the right to cancel your Transaction or terminate your access to Services to address such payment issue; if we cancel your Transaction or your access to Services, we’ll refund any pro-rated payment you have already remitted to us for such Transaction or access to Services. Without limiting the foregoing, you may cancel your Subscription by visiting our support page at https://support.zeplin.io/en/articles/5069873-canceling-your-subscription and following the instructions to cancel your Subscription. With respect to Omlet, you may cancel your Subscription by contacting Omlet support at support@omlet.dev. Upon such cancellation, we will: (i) terminate your access to the Services and (ii) cease billing for all Subscription Fees, in each case at the end of the then-current Subscription period. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OF ANY PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE PAID FOR THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AT THE TIME OF CANCELLATION. You will be responsible for all Subscription Fees (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) incurred for the then-current Subscription period.
- Evaluations, Trials, and Betas. We may offer certain Services to you at no charge, including trial use and beta versions (“Beta Services”). Your use of Beta Services is subject to any additional terms that we specify and is only permitted during the term we designate (or, if not designated, until terminated in accordance with these Terms). These Terms fully apply to Beta Services and we may modify or terminate your right to use Beta Services at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, without liability to you. You understand that any Beta Services and their features and functionality are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available Services. We make no promises that any Beta Services will ever be made generally available. All information regarding the characteristics, features or performance of any Beta Services, and any communication that we may engage in with you relating to the Beta Services, constitutes our Confidential Information, and may not be disclosed to any third party without our written permission. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all obligations or liabilities with respect to Beta Services.
You agree to pay Zeplin what a plan costs if you subscribe to that plan, and are legally allowed to use the credit card or however else you pay us.
Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the end of the term.
Subscription plans can be changed or cancelled at any time, but no refunds will be made for the current subscription period.

In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by email at support@zeplin.io or by regular mail at 832 Sansome Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111, USA within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms.
- Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
- Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
- Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ZEPLIN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
- Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 “Changes to Terms or Services” above, if Zeplin changes any of the terms of this Section 17 “Dispute Resolution” after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to support@zeplin.io) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective Date” above or in the date of Zeplin’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Zeplin in accordance with the terms of this Section 17 “Dispute Resolution” as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
- Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 17(e) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
If we have a disagreement, we agree we will sort it out in arbitration or small-claims court—not by a trial-by-jury or a class-action suit. Arbitration will be by the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
