Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Meritoship platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). Please read them carefully before using the Service.
Last updated: [insert date]. This is a general draft and should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before publication to ensure compliance with applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Meritoship Service in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, registered users, and others who access the Service.
2. Description of Service
Meritoship provides data aggregation, portfolio tracking, and analytics tools intended to help users review activity across multiple connected exchange accounts. The Service is informational and analytical in nature. Meritoship is not a broker-dealer, exchange, custodian, or registered investment adviser, and does not execute trades, hold client funds, or provide personalised financial advice.
3. Eligibility and Account Registration
To use the Service, you must be able to form a legally binding contract under applicable law. You are responsible for:
- Providing accurate, current, and complete information when registering an account.
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and any API keys used to connect third-party accounts.
- All activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorised by you.
- Notifying Meritoship promptly of any unauthorised use or suspected security breach.
4. No Financial Advice
Nothing provided through the Service constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Dashboards, metrics, reports, and alerts are generated from data supplied by you or connected third-party sources and are intended solely to assist with your own independent analysis. You acknowledge that digital asset markets are volatile and that any decisions you make regarding your accounts or holdings are made at your own discretion and risk.
5. Third-Party Connections and Data Accuracy
The Service may require you to connect accounts held with third-party exchanges or platforms, typically through read-only API credentials. Meritoship does not control these third parties and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, security practices, or changes to their systems. While we aim to present data as reliably as possible, we do not warrant that figures displayed within the Service will be complete, accurate, or free from delay or error at all times.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable regulation.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service, other accounts, or related systems.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service.
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or its underlying infrastructure.
- Use automated means to scrape or extract data from the Service without prior written consent.
7. Subscription, Fees, and Billing
Certain features of the Service may require payment of fees as described at the point of purchase. Fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis unless otherwise stated and are non-refundable except where required by law. We reserve the right to change our pricing with reasonable advance notice; continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
8. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, and underlying technology, is owned by or licensed to Meritoship and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights; you are granted only a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.
9. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED AND ERROR-FREE OPERATION. Meritoship DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ANY DATA DISPLAYED WILL BE ACCURATE OR CURRENT AT ALL TIMES.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Meritoship, its officers, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or trading losses, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to Meritoship in the twelve months preceding the claim.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Meritoship and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
12. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, posed a security risk, or engaged in fraudulent or unlawful activity. You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply.
13. Changes to the Service and Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time; material changes will be communicated through the Service or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
14. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Meritoship is established, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. [Jurisdiction-specific language should be confirmed with legal counsel.]
15. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
