1. Acceptance of these Terms
By accessing or using Tovu ("the Software", "the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Software. These Terms apply whether you run Tovu on your own infrastructure (self-hosted) or access a hosted instance operated by [Company Name].
2. Description of the Service
Tovu is a content management platform. Depending on how you access it, "the Service" may refer to the software you install and run yourself, or a hosted instance operated by [Company Name] on your behalf. Features, themes, and plugins may change over time.
3. Eligibility and Accounts
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to use the Service. If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at [security email] if you suspect unauthorized access.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
Violate any applicable law or regulation.
Upload or distribute content that infringes another party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
Distribute malware, attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, or interfere with the Service's normal operation.
Use the Service to send unsolicited bulk communications.
We may suspend or terminate access for violations of this section.
5. Your Content
You retain all rights to the content you create, upload, or publish through Tovu ("Your Content"). We do not claim ownership over it. If you use a hosted instance of the Service, you grant [Company Name] the limited right to store, process, and transmit Your Content solely to provide the Service to you. If you self-host, Your Content never leaves infrastructure you control.
6. Themes and Plugins
Tovu supports third-party and first-party themes and plugins. Themes and plugins may be subject to their own licenses; check each theme or plugin's own documentation before use, particularly before using it on a commercial site. [Company Name] does not warrant third-party themes or plugins.
7. Fees and Payment
If Tovu or any hosted tier is paid, describe the billing cycle, refund policy, and what happens to data on non-payment here. If Tovu is free or self-hosted only, state that explicitly and remove this section's placeholder language before publishing.
8. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. If you use a hosted instance, we may suspend or terminate your access for a material breach of these Terms, with notice where practicable. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law — will survive.
9. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, [COMPANY NAME] WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold [Company Name] harmless from any claim arising out of Your Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [Governing State or Country], without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts located in [Jurisdiction].
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
