These Terms form a binding agreement between you and DEFYND when you create an account, purchase a service, or otherwise use DEFYND.
1. Using DEFYND
You must be at least 13 years old and legally able to enter this agreement. If you use DEFYND for an organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind it. You must provide accurate information, protect your account credentials, and promptly tell us about unauthorized access.
2. Your content
You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant DEFYND a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, display, and distribute that content only as needed to operate, improve, and promote the service. You represent that you have the necessary rights and that your content does not violate law or another person’s rights.
3. Acceptable use
You may not use DEFYND to:
- Break the law, facilitate fraud, or promote illegal goods or services.
- Infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
- Harass, threaten, exploit, or endanger another person.
- Distribute malware, phishing, spam, or deceptive content.
- Interfere with the service, evade security controls, scrape without permission, or access accounts or systems without authorization.
- Misrepresent affiliation with DEFYND or another person.
4. Creator sales and payments
If DEFYND enables sales, creators are responsible for their products, descriptions, fulfillment, refunds, taxes, and compliance with applicable consumer laws. Payment processing may be provided by third parties under their own terms. Fees and transaction terms will be disclosed before purchase.
5. Plans, billing, and cancellation
Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the disclosed interval until canceled. You authorize applicable recurring charges. You may cancel before the next renewal; unless required by law or stated otherwise, prior charges are non-refundable and access continues through the paid period. We may change prices with advance notice.
6. DEFYND property
The service, software, branding, designs, and other materials supplied by DEFYND are owned by DEFYND or its licensors. Except for the limited right to use the service under these Terms, no rights are transferred to you. Feedback may be used without restriction or compensation.
7. Enforcement and termination
You may stop using DEFYND at any time. We may restrict, suspend, remove content, or terminate access when reasonably necessary to address violations, security risk, legal requirements, harm, or prolonged inactivity. Where appropriate, we will provide notice and an opportunity to appeal. Provisions that by nature should survive termination will survive.
8. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DEFYND is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot legally be excluded.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DEFYND will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill. DEFYND’s aggregate liability relating to the service will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid DEFYND during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limits do not apply where prohibited by law.
10. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify DEFYND against claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your content, your products or sales, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of another person’s rights.
11. Disputes and governing law
Before filing a formal claim, you and DEFYND agree to try to resolve it informally for 30 days after written notice. These Terms are governed by applicable United States law and the law of the state in which DEFYND is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts with lawful jurisdiction over DEFYND’s principal place of business will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law requires otherwise.
12. Changes and contact
We may update these Terms. Material changes will receive reasonable notice when required. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms. Questions may be sent to legal@defynd.me.
