Overview of Our Terms of Use
We have clear rules for using our website, apps, and services. This overview explains what the agreement covers. It talks about key rules, who owns what, and how to solve problems.
Purpose and scope of these terms
Our rules define what you can and can’t do. They explain how we work together and what to expect. They cover all our content and services, unless a special page says different.
Who these terms apply to
These rules are for everyone who uses our site. You must be old enough and meet U.S. laws. If you’re a minor, you need a parent’s okay. Businesses must pick someone to agree to these rules for them.
Relationship with other policies
We talk about how our Terms of Use work with other policies. This includes our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If there’s a problem, these rules usually win unless a special agreement says so.
Acceptance and Changes to the Terms of Use
We explain how users accept terms and handle updates. This helps everyone know what to expect. It covers how acceptance happens, how we notify users, and where to find the effective date and version history.
How users accept the terms
Users accept terms when they click “Accept” during registration or create an account. They also accept terms when they complete a transaction or use our site or services. Signing up for a paid subscription may require a separate agreement that supplements these terms.
Using our site after we post updates to terms means you accept those updates where allowed by law. If you don’t agree with the revised terms, stop using the service. Then, follow any steps we provide to close your account.
Notification process for updates
We notify users of material changes by email, in-app notifications, or banners on our site. A material change affects user rights, pricing, data use, or dispute resolution procedures.
Examples of material changes include new fees for free features, revised data-sharing practices, or major dispute resolution changes. Minor edits or clarifications that don’t change user rights may not get direct notification.
Effective date and version history
Each set of terms has an effective date. This lets users know when the rules apply. We keep a version history for users to review past editions and see how the terms have changed.
When changes take effect on the listed effective date, using the service after that date means you agree to the new terms. Users can check the version history to compare past and current terms.
User Accounts and Responsibilities
We need a valid email, a strong password, and correct personal or business info to start. You must be old enough or live in the right place. We might ask for email confirmation or ID checks.
Optional profile fields make your experience better but are not required. Keep your info up to date to avoid problems and follow our rules.
Account creation requirements
To sign up, give us a good email and a strong password. Fill in the right contact and billing info. If it’s for a business, include the legal details.
Minors need a parent’s okay if U.S. law says so. We might ask for email, phone, or other proof to verify your identity.
User obligations and prohibited conduct
Be responsible and follow all laws. Tell the truth and only use our services for allowed things. Respect others’ work and follow Google’s rules for ads and sharing.

You can delete your account anytime. We might close it if you break the rules, have to by law, or don’t use it for a long time. After we close it, we might keep some data for legal reasons or business needs. You can ask us to give you back your data or delete it, based on our Privacy Policy and laws.
