Terms of Service
Terms of Service for Example Boards
- Effective date
- 2026-09-23
01Introduction
These Terms of Service govern access to and use of Example Boards at https://www.example.org. They form an agreement between each user and Example Software Ltd (fictional), a business established in Ireland with a postal address at 3 Example Road, Example Town. They take effect on 2026-09-23.
By using an acceptance method described below, each user agrees to these Terms. If a user does not agree, the user must not access or use the service. Mandatory rights that cannot lawfully be waived remain unaffected.
02Eligibility and acceptance
The service is offered to consumers and business or professional users through the website and the hosted software service. Users must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter this agreement. Users acting for an organization represent that they are authorized to bind it.
Users accept these Terms through an unchecked checkbox or button beside a link to these Terms and affirmative acceptance during account creation. Acceptance is effective only where the Terms are made available before the user takes an action that forms a valid agreement. The service may record the accepted version, time, account, and acceptance event as evidence of that agreement.
03Accounts
Users must provide accurate account information, keep credentials confidential, and promptly report suspected unauthorized access. Users are responsible for activity under their accounts except to the extent caused by the operator or otherwise provided by mandatory law.
Accounts may not be transferred or shared in a way that defeats security, eligibility, or purchased limits. The operator may require reasonable verification before restoring access or acting on account instructions.
04Service
Example Boards provides: Online project-planning boards, task lists, and file sharing for individuals and teams. Features, technical requirements, usage limits, and any paid plan included in an order or product page form part of this agreement.
Users receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the service for its intended purpose during the applicable service period, subject to these Terms and mandatory law.
05Acceptable use
Users must not use the service for or in connection with: illegal activity; security abuse, malware, or unauthorized testing; intellectual-property infringement; fraud or deceptive conduct; unauthorized scraping or automated access; spam or unsolicited messaging; impersonation; harassment, threats, or dangerous content; or interference with the service or other users. Users must not help others evade these restrictions.
Reasonable security testing requires prior written authorization. Restrictions on reverse engineering apply only to the extent permitted by law and do not limit non-waivable interoperability or statutory rights.
06Intellectual property
The operator and its licensors retain rights in the service, software, branding, designs, documentation, and operator-created content. These Terms grant no ownership right or implied license beyond the limited service-use right stated above.
Feedback may be used without restriction or compensation to improve the service, without identifying confidential information as feedback.
07User content
Users retain ownership of content they submit, including files and documents. User content is not intentionally published to the public.
Each user grants the operator this content license: a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, process, transmit, and adapt the content only as necessary to operate, secure, support, and improve the service. Users represent that they have necessary rights and that their content and its authorized use do not violate law or third-party rights.
08Payments, refunds, and taxes
Service access uses these models: recurring subscriptions. Prices are displayed in EUR before purchase. Users authorize disclosed charges and must provide a valid payment method. Tax treatment: taxes are calculated, included, or added as disclosed before purchase and required by applicable law.
Refund policy: Subscription fees are non-refundable once a billing period starts, except where consumer law requires a refund. Paid digital content or service access may begin immediately after purchase. This policy does not exclude refunds, conformity remedies, cooling-off rights, charge corrections, or other remedies required by applicable law.
09Subscriptions
Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually and renew on that interval until canceled. Price, renewal frequency, minimum commitment, and material restrictions are those shown before acceptance; additional disclosure applies only where law requires it. A trial or introductory period applies: 14 days. Charges begin as disclosed before acceptance unless canceled first.
Renewal notice practice: an email reminder before each annual renewal. Users can stop renewal through: the Billing page in account settings. Cancellation takes effect as disclosed at cancellation and does not remove statutory refund or termination rights. Price or material subscription changes require notice and any termination right required by law.
10Suspension and termination
Users may end service or close an account as follows: close the account from account settings at any time. Before closure, users may retrieve their content through the retrieval or export method made available by the service.
The operator may suspend or terminate access for: material breach, nonpayment, illegal or abusive use, credible security or legal risk, repeated violations, or discontinuation of the service. Where practicable and legally required, the operator will give notice, reasons, and an opportunity to cure or appeal. Terms intended by their nature to survive termination, including accrued payment, ownership, lawful license, dispute, and liability provisions, continue to apply.
11Third-party services
The service may link to or depend on third-party services governed by their own terms. The operator does not control independent third parties and is not responsible for their separate acts or terms, except where applicable law provides otherwise. Users should review third-party terms before enabling an integration.
12Changes to service and Terms
Service changes apply prospectively unless applicable law and a valid agreement permit otherwise. Material changes receive notice and any continued-access, termination, refund, or other remedy required by law or an express purchase commitment.
Material changes are announced by email at least 30 days before they take effect where practicable. Urgent legal or security changes may take effect sooner when permitted. Continued use after an effective date constitutes acceptance only where that method forms a valid agreement; otherwise fresh consent will be requested when required. Neither party is responsible for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, subject to mandatory law.
13Warranties and mandatory rights
The operator will provide the service with the care and conformity required by applicable law. Except for express commitments and non-excludable rights, the service is provided on an “as available” basis and no guarantee is made that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for every purpose.
No disclaimer in these Terms excludes a consumer guarantee, statutory warranty, digital-content conformity duty, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
14Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including where it was foreseeable or the operator was advised of its possibility. The operator's aggregate liability relating to the affected service is limited to the fees paid for the affected service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
These exclusions and limits apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. They do not exclude or limit any liability or remedy only to the extent applicable law prohibits doing so.
15Business-user indemnity
Business users will indemnify the operator, to the extent permitted by law, against third-party claims and reasonable costs arising from their unlawful content, infringement of third-party rights, misuse of the service, or material breach of these Terms. Any reduction for conduct attributable to the operator applies only to the extent required by law.
16Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by Irish law, without forcing consumers to lose mandatory protection available in their country of residence. Subject to mandatory consumer venue rights and any valid arbitration agreement below, disputes may be brought in courts of Ireland.
Before formal proceedings, each party should send a written description of the dispute and allow a reasonable period for good-faith resolution. This does not prevent urgent relief, a complaint to a regulator, or use of a consumer dispute body where available.
17EU consumer rights
Consumers in the EU or EEA keep mandatory pre-contract information, conformity, price-reduction, termination, reimbursement, and national consumer-law rights. A choice-of-law or venue clause does not deprive a consumer of mandatory protection or access to a court available under applicable law.
Where a 14-day withdrawal right applies, a consumer may exercise it by sending an unambiguous notice to legal@example.org before the period expires. Instructions, a model form, or confirmation are supplied only when and as applicable law requires. Digital content delivered immediately loses that right only when all legal conditions are met, including any required prior express consent, acknowledgment, and confirmation; agreement to these Terms alone is not treated as separate consent where separate consent is required.
