Terms of Service
Version v3
Template — not legal advice. Review with qualified counsel and replace all bracketed placeholders before launch.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the service operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("we", "us"). Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE].
Scope and acceptance
By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. We may update these Terms; we will notify you of material changes, and continued use after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, and able to enter into a binding contract. If you use the service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind it.
Account responsibilities
You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Provide accurate registration information and keep it current. Notify us promptly at [CONTACT EMAIL] of any unauthorised use.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- violate any applicable law or the rights of others;
- upload malware or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the service or other accounts;
- disrupt, overload, or interfere with the integrity or performance of the service;
- misuse the service to send unsolicited or unlawful content.
Intellectual property
The service, including its software, design, and trademarks, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by law. You retain rights to content you submit and grant us the limited licence necessary to operate and provide the service. You may not copy, modify, or distribute the service except as permitted.
Availability and changes
We aim to keep the service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features, and will give reasonable notice of significant changes where practicable.
Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it cannot be excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for intent or gross negligence, or under mandatory consumer protection law. Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable damages, and our liability for slight negligence is limited to the breach of essential contractual obligations and to the foreseeable, typical damage. Your statutory rights as a consumer remain unaffected.
Termination
You may stop using the service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or where required by law. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the law of [GOVERNING LAW], without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence. The courts of [JURISDICTION] have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer venue rules.
