The Service, including its proprietary features, design, trademarks, and trade dress (excluding the MIT-licensed open source package), are owned by Val Build and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, service marks, or logos. The MIT-licensed package remains available under its separate open source license.
