The escape clause

If we vanish tomorrow,
your site keeps working.

Reddit's full of AI-builder shutdown horror stories — “48 hours' notice, my site went dark, two years of work gone.” Dellingr is built so that can't happen to you. Every build is real Next.js or static HTML. Every web app gets a private GitHub repo. Static sites get a one-click zip export. You can leave any time and the site keeps deploying.

What “you own the code” actually means here

Static sites — zip export

Site → Code Export → Download zip. You get the entire site (index.html, sections, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, _headers, privacy.html, the lot). Unzip and host it on Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, GitHub Pages, S3+CloudFront, your own VPS — any static-file host. Standard HTML/CSS/JS, no proprietary markup, no platform lock-in tags.

Web apps — private GitHub repo

Every web-app build (course / community / marketplace / SaaS) creates a private GitHub repo named dellingr-<your-slug>. Cloudflare Pages git-links to it. You can: invite yourself as collaborator, fork it, transfer the entire repo (and history) to your GitHub account, or pull-and-self-host. Standard Next.js, no platform-specific patches.

Stripe Buy buttons live on your Stripe

Per-image Buy buttons mint Products + Payment Links on YOUR Stripe account, not Dellingr's. If Dellingr shuts down, the existing Buy links keep working — they're URLs on stripe.com against your account. Only the chat tool that mints new ones stops.

Cloudflare Pages keeps serving

Your site is hosted on Cloudflare's edge under your project name (or your custom domain). Cloudflare doesn't go down because Dellingr does. Take the GitHub repo and reconnect it to Cloudflare Pages directly — same URL, same CDN, no Dellingr in the loop.

Custom domains stay yours

If you attached a custom domain, it's registered to YOU. DNS records point at the Cloudflare Pages project, which YOU now own (the GitHub repo is yours, you're the Cloudflare account holder for it after a quick transfer). No domain hostage.

Founder docs live in the assets tab

Pitch deck, business plan, founder brief, FAQ pack, investor update — all generated as plain markdown files. Download them out of the Assets tab any time. Standard .md, opens in any editor.

The actual transfer process

For web apps. Static sites are simpler — just zip download.

  1. 1

    Site tab → Your code, your repo card

    Shows the existing repo URL, build state, and three actions.

  2. 2

    Click “Invite my GitHub username”

    Enter your GitHub username with admin permission. Accept the GitHub email/notification. Now you can clone, fork, push.

  3. 3

    Click “Transfer repo to me” (when you’re ready)

    Confirms with the destination GitHub username/org. They accept the transfer in GitHub. The whole repo + history moves to them. Cloudflare Pages’ git-linked deploy follows the new path automatically. Dellingr loses write access — that’s the point.

  4. 4

    Re-invite Dellingr if you want chat-edits to keep working

    Optional. The repo is now yours; if you want chat to keep being able to push commits, re-invite the Dellingr GitHub bot as a collaborator. Or revoke and self-edit forever.

What survives if Dellingr shuts down

The structural facts — these don't need a contract from us, because the dependency chain genuinely doesn't pass through Dellingr at the runtime layer:

  • Cloudflare Pages keeps serving.Your generated site is hosted on Cloudflare's edge. If Dellingr disappears, the deployed pages keep responding — reconnect the GitHub repo to your own Cloudflare account and you control redeploys forever.
  • Stripe Buy buttons stay live forever. They're Payment Links on YOUR Stripe account, not ours. We literally have no way to revoke them.
  • GitHub repos are already private to you. Web-app builds live in your repo from day one. Use Site → Code Export → Transfer repo to move full ownership any time.
  • Custom domains are registered to you. DNS is yours; the Cloudflare Pages target is yours after the GitHub transfer.
  • Founder docs export as plain markdown. Pitch deck, business plan, FAQ pack — no proprietary format, opens anywhere.

What we don't promise (yet, in writing): a notice period, a source-code escrow, or a contractual wind-down window. Those land in the Terms when the company is large enough for them to mean anything legally — for now, the guarantees above are structural, not contractual.

That structural property — your runtime doesn't pass through us — is the part Wix, Squarespace, Lovable and Durable can't match, because their hosting + payment infrastructure pools through their own accounts.
