Founder access

Reserve early. Pay nothing today.

Three products, three different states. None of them is finished, so none of them takes your money right now. This page exists so you can register interest and lock the founder benefit before general release — not so I can bill you for something that does not exist yet.

One ByteLite core with four ways to engage: individuals, organizations, technical reviewers and founder preorder.

Four ways in to the same thing. This is a map of how people engage with ByteLite — not a diagram of how anything is built.

Founder preorder: 10% lower price, 10% more entitlement, reserved before general release.

The founder benefit is two separate things.

  • 110% lower founder price
  • 210% additional qualifying entitlement

These do not add up to 20% off. One is a discount on the price. The other is more of whatever that product counts. What the additional 10% is measured in has not been set for this product yet. It will be written down before anything is charged, not after.

Products.

Each card says what the thing is and what state it is actually in. Where a control is disabled, it is disabled because a real decision has not been made, not because the page is broken.

ByteLite Personal - monthly

A flat personal subscription to ByteLite. No percentage-of-savings fee, ever.

ByteLite is not finished and is not available. Nothing is charged. A founder reservation records interest and locks the benefit, and nothing else.

Subscription - billed per month

What this is →

Disabled until its price and terms are approved. Nothing here will take a payment before that.

ByteLite Personal - annual

The same subscription billed once a year instead of monthly.

Same state as the monthly plan: not available, not charged, reservation only.

Subscription - billed per year

Cordel Connect - monthly

A subscription to Cordel Connect, a privacy-focused compatibility application.

No public price has been set for Cordel Connect. Until one is approved there is nothing to charge, so this is a reservation only.

Cordel Play - founder reservation

A physical adult party game. 18+. A product in a box, not a subscription.

No price, no shipping estimate and no refund process are approved, so no money is taken and no payment method is stored. This registers interest.

Every control on this page is currently switched off at the server, not just hidden. The commerce phase is disabled and the founder offer window is closed. If you want to be told when reservations open, say so directly and I will write to you myself.

What a reservation is, and is not.

A reservation records that you want the product and which founder offer you accepted. It is not a subscription, not an account, and not product access. It does not guarantee a launch date or a place in a queue.

Before anything is ever charged you will be shown the exact amount, the billing interval, the first charge date, how renewal works and how to cancel — and you will have to act to confirm it. A reservation does not turn into a payment on its own.

The full reservation terms are still being drafted and are not published yet. Nothing here can take a payment in the meantime, so there is no agreement you could enter into without having read them. They will be published, and you will be asked to accept them, before any reservation becomes a charge.
