Terms of Service

GetClauseApp is a policy hosting and management platform that provides pre-customized templates to help developers generate, host, and manage policy documents such as privacy policies, terms and conditions, and other compliance-related materials. Our Service allows you to create policy documents by selecting from predefined cases and providing specific information about your application or business.

GetClauseApp is not a law firm, legal practice, or provider of legal services. We do not provide legal advice, legal representation, or legal consultation of any kind. The templates, tools, and content provided through our Service are informational resources designed to assist you in creating policy documents, but they do not constitute legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

GetClauseApp began as a side project created to solve a personal need for policy generation and hosting. It has since been made available to the public to help other developers and businesses address similar needs. The Service is provided as a tool to facilitate policy creation, not as a comprehensive legal compliance solution.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of all information you provide when using GetClauseApp to generate policy documents. This includes but is not limited to:

• Information about your application, website, or business
• Data collection practices you describe
• Third-party services you identify
• Contact information you provide
• Any custom content you add to generated policies

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring your applications, websites, services, and business practices comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards, including but not limited to:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
• App Store and Google Play Store requirements
• Any other applicable privacy, data protection, or consumer protection laws

GetClauseApp provides templates and tools to assist you in creating policy documents, but we do not guarantee that these documents will ensure your compliance with any specific law or regulation. The ultimate responsibility for compliance rests entirely with you.

You acknowledge that the policy documents generated through GetClauseApp are starting points based on general best practices and common scenarios. We strongly recommend that you have all policy documents reviewed by a qualified attorney familiar with the laws applicable to your business and jurisdiction before publishing or relying on them.

By using GetClauseApp, you acknowledge and agree that:

• GetClauseApp is a helper tool, not a necessity or comprehensive solution
• You are using GetClauseApp voluntarily with full understanding of its limitations
• All ultimate responsibility for your policies, compliance, and legal obligations rests with you
• The Service assists you in creating policy documents but does not replace professional legal counsel

GetClauseApp, its founders, employees, contractors, and affiliates (collectively, "GetClauseApp Parties") shall not be liable for any consequences arising from your failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, including but not limited to:

• App or website rejection by app stores, hosting platforms, or other service providers
• Regulatory penalties, fines, or sanctions imposed by government authorities (including but not limited to GDPR fines from the European Union, DPDP penalties in India, or CCPA fines in California)
• Legal proceedings, lawsuits, or claims brought against you by users, regulators, or third parties
• Reputational damage to your business or brand
• Loss of users, customers, or revenue
• Bans, suspensions, or restrictions imposed on your services by any jurisdiction or platform

You acknowledge that GetClauseApp provides tools to help you create policy documents, but the legal effectiveness and compliance of those documents depend entirely on the accuracy of information you provide and the applicability of templates to your specific circumstances.

While GetClauseApp implements reasonable security measures to protect data stored on our platform, we shall not be liable for:

• Data breaches affecting your account, projects, or hosted policies
• Unauthorized access to or disclosure of information you store on GetClauseApp
• Any consequences arising from security incidents, whether caused by third-party attacks, system vulnerabilities, or other factors
• Loss of data, policies, or configurations stored on the GetClauseApp platform

You are responsible for maintaining backups of your policy documents and any important information you store on GetClauseApp.

GetClauseApp shall not be liable for any consequences arising from:

• Service downtime, interruptions, or unavailability, whether planned or unplanned
• Inability of your users, customers, or third parties to access hosted policies due to service outages
• Loss of business, revenue, or opportunities resulting from service unavailability
• Technical failures, server issues, network problems, or infrastructure disruptions
• Maintenance, updates, or modifications to the Service that may temporarily affect availability

This includes situations where high user demand, technical difficulties, or other factors prevent GetClauseApp from maintaining continuous service availability. You acknowledge that GetClauseApp is provided on an "as available" basis without guarantees of uptime.

GetClauseApp shall not be liable for:

• Negative assessments, critiques, or rejections of policies generated through GetClauseApp by legal professionals, compliance auditors, or regulatory authorities
• Opinions or advice from attorneys, consultants, or experts that contradict or criticize content generated by GetClauseApp
• Disagreements between GetClauseApp-generated policies and interpretations provided by other sources
• Requirements imposed by third parties (including app stores, payment processors, or business partners) that GetClauseApp-generated policies do not satisfy

Different legal professionals may have varying opinions on policy requirements and compliance standards. GetClauseApp provides general templates and cannot account for all possible interpretations or specific requirements of every jurisdiction, platform, or business relationship.

Under no circumstances shall GetClauseApp Parties be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the Service, including but not limited to:

• Loss of profits, revenue, or business opportunities
• Loss of data, goodwill, or reputation
• Business interruption or operational delays
• Cost of substitute services or solutions
• Any other commercial damages or losses

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which liability is based (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if GetClauseApp has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of GetClauseApp Parties for any claims arising from or related to your use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to GetClauseApp in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. If you have not paid any fees to GetClauseApp, our maximum liability shall be limited to one hundred US dollars ($100).

GetClauseApp shall not be liable for any personal injury, death, or any form of physical or mental harm allegedly arising from:

• Use of the Service, whether direct or indirect
• Reliance on policies generated through the Service
• Decisions made based on information provided by GetClauseApp
• Any action taken or not taken as a result of using GetClauseApp

GetClauseApp is not responsible for your data handling practices or compliance with regulations like GDPR or DPDP in your own business operations.

While GetClauseApp implements reasonable security measures, no system is completely secure. You acknowledge that:

• Data transmission over the internet carries inherent security risks
• GetClauseApp cannot guarantee absolute security of information stored on or transmitted through the Service

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute with GetClauseApp will be resolved on an individual basis and not as part of a class action, consolidated action, or representative proceeding.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms you agree to when using specific features, constitute the entire agreement between you and GetClauseApp regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements or understandings.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

GetClauseApp's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by GetClauseApp.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without GetClauseApp's prior written consent. GetClauseApp may assign these Terms or delegate any obligations without restriction.

GetClauseApp shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing obligations under these Terms due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, government actions, internet service failures, or other force majeure events.

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and GetClauseApp. You have no authority to bind GetClauseApp or make commitments on our behalf.

Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including but not limited to limitations of liability, indemnification, intellectual property, and dispute resolution) shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.
