Terms of Service

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

Template notice — replace before launch. This page is boilerplate, not legal advice. Have a lawyer review and customize it for your jurisdiction and the specifics of what Bibby actually does. Replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Bibby website and service (the "Service") operated by Bibby ("we", "us", "our"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

Eligibility

You must be at least [AGE, e.g. 13] years old to use the Service. If you're under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have a parent or legal guardian's permission. By using the Service you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

Your account

You're responsible for everything that happens under your account, including keeping your sign-in credentials secure. Notify us immediately at [CONTACT EMAIL] if you suspect unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or appear to be compromised.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to violate any law or regulation.
  • Post content that is unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, infringing, or that incites violence or harassment.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or our infrastructure.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service (e.g. via denial-of-service attacks, scraping at abusive rates, or injecting malware).
  • Use the Service to send unsolicited bulk communications.
  • Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service without our written permission.

User content

You retain ownership of content you submit to the Service ("Your Content"). By submitting Your Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and process Your Content as needed to operate and improve the Service. You represent that you have the rights necessary to grant this license and that Your Content does not violate these Terms or any law.

We may remove content that violates these Terms or that we determine, in our reasonable discretion, harms the Service or its users.

Our intellectual property

The Service, including its software, branding, and content we create, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. These Terms don't grant you any right to use our trademarks or branding without our prior written consent.

Third-party services

The Service may link to or interoperate with third-party services (for example, Google for sign-in). We are not responsible for those services, their availability, or their terms.

Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure for us, or if continued operation becomes commercially impractical. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT IS ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OR (B) [FALLBACK AMOUNT, e.g. USD 100]. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits; in those places, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us (and our officers, directors, employees, and agents) harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Service, or (c) your violation of these Terms or any law.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for any dispute will be the courts located in [VENUE], and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the new effective date at the top of this page and, for material changes, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after a change becomes effective means you accept the updated Terms.
