Terms of Use
Effective date: [Effective date]
These Terms of Use (“terms”) are an agreement between you and [Company name] (“we”, “us” or “our”) and govern your use of [Website or app name] and the services we offer through our website.
Agreement to these terms
By accessing or using [Website or app name] you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use our website. If you use it on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these terms for that organisation.
Who may use our services
You must be at least 13 years old, or the age of digital consent where you live if that is higher, to use our services. You must also be able to form a binding contract and not be barred from using the services under applicable law.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- break any law or infringe anyone's rights, including intellectual property and privacy rights;
- upload or send malware, spam, or content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful or misleading;
- try to gain unauthorised access to our systems or other users' accounts, or interfere with the security or operation of our services;
- scrape, copy or resell the services, or use automated means to access them in a way that places an unreasonable load on them, except as we allow;
- impersonate any person or misrepresent your connection with anyone.
Our intellectual property
The services, including their design, text, graphics, logos and software, belong to [Company name] or its licensors and are protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable licence to use the services in line with these terms. You may not use our name or logos without our written permission.
Third-party services and links
Our services may contain links to, or features provided by, third parties. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices. Their own terms and privacy policies apply.
Disclaimers
We work to keep our services available and accurate, but we provide them “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, we do not make warranties of any kind, including that the services will be uninterrupted, error-free or fit for a particular purpose.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, [Company name] will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the services. Our total liability for any claim relating to the services is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or 100 US dollars if you paid nothing.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, you keep the rights the law of your country gives you.
Suspension and termination
You may stop using the services at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if we must do so by law, or if we stop offering the services, and where reasonable we will give you notice. Sections that by their nature should continue, such as intellectual property and limitation of liability, survive termination.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of [Country or state whose law applies], and the courts of [Country or state whose law applies] have jurisdiction over disputes, except where the law of your country of residence gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts or applies mandatory consumer protections. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve any problem informally.
Changes to these terms
We may change these terms. We will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date and, for material changes, give you reasonable notice. If you keep using the services after the changes take effect, you accept the new terms.
