Terms of service
Last updated:
These terms apply between [Company name] ("we") and the agency that uses Annota ("you") during the beta. They are short on purpose. If something is unclear, write to privacy@[domain] before you rely on it.
01This is a beta
Annota is in private beta. The service is provided "as is" and "as available": features can change or disappear, there may be bugs and downtime, and we don't promise a specific uptime. Keep your own copies of anything you can't afford to lose.
Access is by invitation. We may accept or decline beta requests at our discretion.
02Price
Annota is free during the beta. If we introduce paid plans, we'll tell you in advance and you can decide whether to continue. Nothing will be charged without your explicit agreement.
03Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use Annota on sites you don't have the right to work on;
- collect data through Annota that you have no lawful basis to collect;
- upload unlawful content, malware, or content that infringes others' rights;
- try to break, overload or get around the security of the service, or access other agencies' data;
- resell or give access to the service to third parties outside your agency and its clients.
04Your responsibility for client feedback
When you install the Annota widget on a site and invite client reviewers, you decide what is collected and why. You are responsible for having a legal basis to collect that feedback (names, emails, comments, screenshots, voice notes, browser metadata) and for informing your reviewers, for example through your own privacy notice.
For that data we act as your processor, as described in the privacy policy. [A data processing agreement will be attached.]
05Who owns what
The content you and your clients put into Annota (projects, comments, screenshots, voice notes) belongs to you. You give us only the permission we need to store, process and display it in order to provide the service. The Annota software, brand and design remain ours.
06Suspension and ending
You can stop using Annota at any time and ask us to delete your account and data. We may suspend or end access if these terms are seriously breached, if needed to protect the service or other users, or if we end the beta. Except in urgent cases, we'll warn you first and give you a reasonable chance to export your data.
07Liability
Because the service is a free beta, to the extent the law allows we are not liable for indirect losses, lost profits or lost data. Our total liability is limited to [amount]. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for intent or gross negligence.
08Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the product develops. We'll update the date at the top and, for meaningful changes, notify account holders by email before they take effect. If you keep using Annota after that, the new terms apply.
09Governing law
These terms are governed by Romanian law. We'll try to resolve any dispute amicably first; otherwise it goes to the competent courts in [City], Romania.
