1. Agreement to these Terms
By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, accessing, or using BuildYourBlogs (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and our Refund Policy. If you use the Service for a business or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it to these Terms.
You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement and must provide accurate account and billing information.
2. Accounts and security
You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. You may not share, sell, transfer, or create accounts through automated or deceptive means.
We may require account verification, restrict access, or suspend an account when reasonably necessary to protect users, the Service, or third parties.
3. The publishing Service
The Service lets users create blogs, pages, posts, media, metadata, optional article discussions, and related publishing materials. Features and limits depend on the selected plan. We may improve, replace, or discontinue features, but we will not intentionally remove paid functionality without reasonable notice when notice is practical.
Public content may be indexed, cached, quoted, archived, or shared by search engines and third parties. Removing content from the Service does not guarantee removal of copies controlled by others.
4. Your content and permissions
You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process, display, transmit, and format that content only as needed to operate, secure, support, and improve the Service and to publish it according to your settings.
You represent that you have all rights and permissions required for your content and that its use on the Service does not violate law, privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, or contractual rights. Comments and replies are also user content. Blog owners may disable discussions or remove comments from their blogs, and commenters may remove their own comments. You are responsible for backing up content that is important to you.
5. Subscriptions, renewal, and taxes
Paid plans are offered monthly or annually in Canadian dollars unless Checkout states otherwise. Subscription charges are collected in advance through Stripe and automatically renew for the same billing interval until cancelled. Displayed prices may exclude applicable taxes.
You authorize us and Stripe to charge the payment method associated with your account for subscription charges, taxes, and any disclosed prorations. Plan changes may take effect immediately or at the next billing date as shown in the Stripe customer portal.
6. Cancellation
You may cancel a paid subscription through Manage Billing. Unless Stripe or applicable law states otherwise, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period and access continues until that date. Deleting an account or ceasing to use the Service does not by itself cancel a Stripe subscription.
7. Acceptable use
You must follow our Acceptable Use Policy. Prohibited conduct includes illegal content, infringement, harassment, fraud, spam, malware, unauthorized access, service disruption, and attempts to evade plan limits or security controls.
8. Moderation, suspension, and termination
We may investigate reports and remove content, limit distribution, suspend features, ban accounts, or terminate access when we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated, the Service or others are at risk, payment is overdue, or action is required by law. When practical, we will provide notice and an opportunity to correct the issue.
You remain responsible for charges incurred before termination. Provisions that by their nature should survive—including ownership, payment, disclaimers, limitations, and dispute provisions—survive.
9. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties including Clerk, Supabase, Stripe, Vercel, and security or infrastructure providers. Their services may be governed by separate terms. We are not responsible for third-party services outside our reasonable control.
10. Intellectual property
The Service, software, design, branding, and documentation—excluding user content—are owned by or licensed to AkselTech Global Services Inc.. These Terms do not transfer our intellectual-property rights to you.
11. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, permanent storage, specific audience growth, search ranking, revenue, or suitability for a particular purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AkselTech Global Services Inc. will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or business opportunity arising from the Service. Our aggregate liability relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. This section does not limit liability that cannot legally be limited.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Alberta and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts located in Alberta have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection right to bring a proceeding elsewhere.
14. Changes and contact
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be communicated by a reasonable method, such as an in-product notice or email, before they take effect when required. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
