1. Agreement and scope
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Valegus LLC (“Valegus,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of valegus.com and any mobile, web, desktop, cloud, or other software product or service that Valegus makes available and identifies as subject to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using a Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Product-specific terms, an order form, statement of work, master services agreement, or other written agreement may also apply. If there is a conflict, that more specific written agreement controls for its subject matter.
2. Eligibility and authority
You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement in your jurisdiction. If you use a Service on behalf of a company or another organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.
A Service may include additional age, location, account, or technical requirements. You are responsible for satisfying them before use.
3. Accounts and security
Some Services may require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep it current, protect your credentials, and promptly notify us if you believe an account or credential has been compromised.
You are responsible for activity performed through your account to the extent permitted by law. We may require reasonable verification before restoring access or acting on a sensitive request.
4. Software license
Subject to these Terms and any product-specific terms, Valegus grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to install, access, and use the applicable software solely for its intended purpose.
The Services are licensed, not sold. Valegus and its licensors retain all rights not expressly granted to you.
- Do not copy, distribute, rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit a Service except where Valegus expressly authorizes it in writing.
- Do not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code except to the limited extent a restriction is prohibited by applicable law or an open-source license permits it.
- Do not remove ownership notices, bypass security or access controls, or use a Service to build or train a competing product without written permission.
5. Custom development services
Software design, development, consulting, support, or integration work performed for a customer is governed by the applicable proposal, statement of work, master services agreement, or other signed agreement. That agreement defines scope, responsibilities, deliverables, acceptance, timing, commercial terms, confidentiality, intellectual property, and support.
Information on this website is general and is not a quote, fixed commitment, or guarantee that a particular result, delivery date, or implementation is suitable for your project.
6. Your content and feedback
You retain ownership of content, data, files, and materials you lawfully submit to a Service (“Your Content”). You grant Valegus the rights reasonably necessary to host, process, transmit, display, back up, and otherwise handle Your Content to provide, secure, support, and improve the applicable Service.
You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed for Your Content and for ensuring it does not violate law or another person’s rights.
If you voluntarily provide product ideas or feedback, Valegus may use them without restriction or compensation, provided this does not grant us ownership of Your confidential information or Your Content.
7. Acceptable use
You may not use a Service to harm people, systems, or networks, or to interfere with other users. In particular, you agree not to:
- use a Service for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, harassing, or infringing activity;
- upload malware or harmful code, probe vulnerabilities without authorization, evade rate limits, or disrupt service availability;
- access data, accounts, or functionality you are not authorized to use;
- misrepresent your identity or use automated means in a way that creates unreasonable load or violates documented instructions; or
- use a Service in a manner that violates applicable sanctions, export controls, privacy, intellectual-property, or consumer-protection laws.
8. Intellectual property
The Services, including their software, interfaces, visual design, documentation, trademarks, logos, and other Valegus materials, are owned by Valegus or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws.
No rights to Valegus names, marks, source code, or other intellectual property are granted except for the limited use rights expressly stated in these Terms or a separate written agreement.
9. Third-party services and open-source software
A Service may interoperate with app stores, operating systems, payment providers, cloud platforms, APIs, websites, libraries, or other third-party products. Those third parties may apply their own terms and privacy practices, and you are responsible for complying with them.
Valegus does not control third-party services and is not responsible for their content, availability, or independent acts. Open-source components remain subject to their applicable licenses; where an open-source license conflicts with these Terms, that license controls for the relevant component.
10. Privacy
The privacy policy presented with the applicable Service explains how personal data is collected, used, shared, retained, and protected. Product-specific disclosures may apply because different applications can process different data or use different third-party SDKs.
You are responsible for reviewing the applicable privacy policy and any in-product notices. If you use a Service for an organization, you are also responsible for providing any notices and obtaining any permissions required for data you submit or direct Valegus to process.
11. Updates, availability, and changes
We may provide updates, patches, new features, or changes that are necessary for security, compatibility, legal compliance, or product improvement. Some updates may be required to continue using a Service.
We work to keep the Services available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Maintenance, third-party outages, security events, or circumstances outside our reasonable control may affect availability. We may modify or discontinue a Service with notice where reasonably practicable and as required by law or a separate agreement.
12. Suspension and termination
You may stop using a Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially violate these Terms, create a security or legal risk, fail to meet obligations under an applicable agreement, or if continued operation is no longer reasonably possible.
Where appropriate, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to address the issue. On termination, the license granted under these Terms ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive—including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and dispute terms—will remain in effect.
13. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Services made available without a separate written warranty are provided “as is” and “as available.” Valegus disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
Valegus does not warrant that every Service will meet every requirement, operate without interruption, or be free from defects. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, guarantees, or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
14. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Valegus and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, business opportunity, goodwill, or data, arising from or related to a Service.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Valegus’s aggregate liability related to a Service will not exceed the amount paid to Valegus for the affected Service during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. If no amount was paid, liability will be limited to the minimum amount required by applicable law.
These limits do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited, including where applicable for fraud, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.
15. App store terms
If you obtain a Valegus application through the Apple App Store, these Terms are between you and Valegus, not Apple. Valegus—not Apple—is responsible for the application, its content, maintenance and support, applicable warranties, and claims relating to the application, including product, legal-compliance, consumer-protection, privacy, and intellectual-property claims.
Your Apple license is limited to a non-transferable right to use the application on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by Apple’s usage rules, including applicable Family Sharing or volume-purchasing rules. Apple has no obligation to provide support. If the application fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price paid through the App Store; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism and are not listed on a United States government restricted-party list. You must comply with applicable third-party terms. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce the Apple-related provisions against you.
If you obtain an application through Google Play, these Terms are between you and Valegus, not Google. Google is not responsible for the application, its content, or Valegus support obligations. Your use is also subject to the applicable Google Play terms and policies.
16. Applicable law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to Valegus LLC in its jurisdiction of organization, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer law requires another result.
Before filing a formal claim, you and Valegus agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the issue by written notice. Unless a separate agreement or mandatory law provides otherwise, disputes will be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction for Valegus LLC.
17. Changes and contact
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in a Service, law, or business practice. The “Last updated” date identifies the current version. If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide additional notice where required by law.
Questions, complaints, or claims about these Terms or a Valegus Service may be sent to Valegus LLC at [email protected].
