Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Purly ("the Service"), operated by Purly Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email or an in-app notice at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

Purly is a content curation and sharing platform. You can save links ("purls") to articles, videos, podcasts, and other content from across the internet; organize them with labels; schedule them in a queue; publish curated feeds; and share content with friends through chats.

Purly does not host third-party content. When you save a link, we store the URL and may fetch publicly available metadata (title, description, preview image) for display purposes. The underlying content remains on the original publisher's servers.

Purly does not display advertisements. The Service is funded through optional paid subscriptions.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required by the laws of your jurisdiction) to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this requirement.

You may sign in using a magic link sent to your email address or through a supported social login provider (Google or Apple). You are responsible for maintaining access to the email address associated with your account. Each person may maintain only one account.

Your user handle must be unique and may contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (up to 15 characters). Display names may be up to 50 characters.

4. Subscriptions and Billing

Purly offers a free tier and a paid Pro tier. The free tier provides core functionality with usage limits. The Pro tier unlocks higher limits and the ability to create and publish feeds.

Pro subscriptions are billed monthly. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. You may cancel at any time from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

If you downgrade from Pro to the free tier, your existing data is preserved. However, you will not be able to create new items that exceed free-tier limits until your usage is within those limits.

We may change pricing with at least 30 days' notice. Price changes will apply at the start of your next billing cycle after the notice period.

5. Your Content

"Your Content" means any data you submit to the Service, including purls, feed names, labels, chat messages, and captions. You retain ownership of Your Content.

By submitting Your Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, display, and distribute it solely as necessary to provide and improve the Service. For content you publish in public feeds, this includes making it available to other users and displaying it on your public profile.

You represent that you have the right to share any content you submit and that it does not infringe on any third party's rights.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Share links to content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable
• Impersonate any person or entity
• Distribute spam, unsolicited messages, or bulk automated content
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts or data
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security or access-control features of the Service
• Use the Service to scrape, mine, or collect data about other users without their consent
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service
• Exceed published rate limits or abuse the API in a way that degrades the Service for others

7. Reporting and Moderation

You may report users, feeds, feed items, or chat messages that you believe violate these Terms. Reports are reviewed by our moderation team and may result in content removal or account suspension.

We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to review, edit, or remove any content that violates these Terms or that we find objectionable, at our sole discretion.

8. Third-Party Integrations

The Service may integrate with third-party services, including Google and Apple for authentication, and YouTube for playlist syncing. Your use of these integrations is subject to the respective third party's terms of service and privacy policy.

Purly is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of any third-party service. You may disconnect third-party integrations at any time from your account settings.

9. API Access

Purly provides an API for programmatic access to certain features. API access is governed by these Terms. You may generate personal access tokens from your account settings. Tokens are rate-limited to 100 requests per minute.

You are responsible for keeping your API tokens secure. Treat them as you would a password. We may revoke tokens or restrict API access if we detect abuse.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, logos, and documentation, is owned by Purly Inc. and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, logos, or branding without prior written consent.

11. Copyright Policy

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content accessible through Purly infringes your copyright, please send a notice to our designated agent with the following information:

• A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed
• The URL or location of the allegedly infringing content on Purly
• Your contact information (name, address, email, phone number)
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf
• Your physical or electronic signature

We may terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

12. Termination

You may delete your account at any time from your account settings. Upon deletion, your account and all data you own (purls, feeds, labels, chats, queue items, activity history, API tokens, and connected integrations) will be permanently removed.

Content that other users have independently saved (for example, a purl another user added to their own library from your public feed) is not affected by your account deletion.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or if we reasonably believe your account poses a risk to the Service or other users. Where practicable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to remedy the violation before termination.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

Purly links to third-party content and does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for that content. You access third-party content at your own risk.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PURLY INC. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $100, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

15. Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. You and Purly each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.

You may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to us within 30 days of creating your account. Claims for injunctive relief or claims within small claims court jurisdiction are exempt from this arbitration provision.

16. General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Purly Inc. regarding the Service.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any right or provision does not constitute a waiver. We may assign our rights under these Terms; you may not assign yours without our written consent.
