2. Service Description

HTFN allows users to upload, manage, and execute JavaScript functions. The platform offers a free tier and paid plans* with varying usage limits and service levels.

2.1 Alpha Disclaimer

HTFN is currently offered as a alpha service. This means the platform is under active development and may undergo frequent updates, which could affect functionality, availability, security and reliability. HTFN may experience bugs, temporary outages, and data loss without prior notice. Users of HTFN, whether on a free or paid tier, acknowledge and accept these risks and agree that HTFN is not liable for any data loss, compromised data, service disruption, or other issues arising from the platform’s alpha status.

Hypertext functions have no security built in, and they are completely open (anyone can access them). If an HTFN user wishes to implement access controls, HTTP authorization or HTTP authentication then these must be written/provided by the user of HTFN and deployed with their functions.
