WEBSITE TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: July 9, 2026

The website located at manicule.dev (the "Site") is a copyrighted work belonging to Manicule, Inc. ("Company", "us", "our", and "we"). Certain features of the Site may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules posted on the Site in connection with those features, all of which are incorporated by reference into these Website Terms of Service (these "Terms").

These Terms set forth the legally binding terms and conditions that govern your use of the Site. By accessing or using the Site, you are accepting these Terms on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent, and you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to do so. You may not access or use the Site or accept these Terms if you are not at least 18 years old. If you do not agree with all of the provisions of these Terms, do not access or use the Site.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SECTION 11 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION) GOVERNS HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE RESOLVED. IT INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND A JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

1. Scope

These Terms govern use of the Site only. Professional services the Company provides to its customers — and the client dashboard and other applications the Company makes available to a customer in connection with an engagement — are governed by the Standard Customer Terms of Service posted at https://manicule.dev/customer-terms, the applicable Customer Statement of Work, and any Additional Customer Terms of Service (together, that customer's "Agreement"), not by these Terms; if there is any conflict, the Agreement controls for those services and applications. The Company's collection and use of personal information through the Site is described in the Privacy Policy posted at https://manicule.dev/privacy-policy.

2. Accounts

In order to use certain features of the Site, you may need to register for an account ("Account") and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the registration form. You represent and warrant that all required registration information is truthful and accurate and that you will maintain its accuracy. You may delete your Account at any time by following the instructions on the Site, and the Company may suspend or terminate your Account in accordance with Section 9.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to immediately notify the Company of any unauthorized or suspected unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security. The Company will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these requirements.

3. Access to the Site

Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to use and access the Site solely for your own personal or internal business purposes, such as learning about and evaluating the Company's services.

You may not license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, host, or otherwise commercially exploit the Site or any content displayed on it. You may not modify, create derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the Site. You may not access the Site in order to build a similar or competitive website, product, or service.

Except as expressly stated, no part of the Site may be copied, reproduced, distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted, or transmitted in any form or by any means. Any future release, update, or other addition to the Site's functionality will also be subject to these Terms.

The Company reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site in whole or in part with or without notice, and will not be liable to you or any third party for doing so. You acknowledge that the Company has no obligation to provide support or maintenance in connection with the Site.

Excluding User Content, all intellectual property rights in the Site and its content are owned by the Company or its suppliers, and no implied licenses are granted under these Terms. If you provide the Company with feedback or suggestions regarding the Site, you assign all rights in that feedback to the Company.

4. User Content

"User Content" means any and all information and content that a user submits to, or uses with, the Site, such as profile content or postings. You are solely responsible for your User Content and assume all risks associated with its use, including any reliance on its accuracy, completeness, or usefulness by others, or any disclosure that personally identifies you or any third party.

You agree not to use the Site to collect, upload, transmit, display, or distribute any User Content that violates third-party rights, is unlawful or abusive, is harmful to minors, or otherwise violates any law or regulation. You also agree not to upload malware, send spam, harvest data without consent, interfere with the Site, gain unauthorized access, harass other users, or use automated systems to create accounts or scrape the Site except as expressly allowed for public search indexing (the rules in this paragraph, the "Acceptable Use Rules").

You represent and warrant that your User Content complies with the Acceptable Use Rules. Since you alone are responsible for your User Content, you may expose yourself to liability if it violates the rights of others or applicable law. The Company is not obligated to back up any User Content, and your User Content may be deleted at any time without prior notice.

You grant the Company an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display and perform, prepare derivative works of, incorporate into other works, and otherwise use and exploit your User Content solely for the purpose of including it in the Site.

The Company reserves the right, but not the obligation, to review, refuse, or remove any User Content and to investigate or take appropriate action if you violate the Acceptable Use Rules or any other provision of these Terms.

5. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the Company and its officers, employees, and agents harmless, including costs and attorneys' fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, your violation of applicable laws or regulations, or your User Content. The Company reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify it, and you agree to cooperate with that defense.

6. Third-Party Links, Ads, and Other Users

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and services and may display advertisements for third parties (collectively, "Third-Party Links & Ads"). Third-Party Links & Ads are not under the Company's control, and the Company is not responsible for them. Access is provided only as a convenience and does not imply review, approval, monitoring, endorsement, or warranty by the Company.

Each Site user is solely responsible for their own User Content. Since we do not control User Content, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any User Content, whether provided by you or by others, and that your interactions with other Site users are solely between you and those users.

You release and forever discharge the Company and its officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from any past, present, and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, liability, action, or cause of action of every kind and nature arising directly or indirectly out of, or relating directly or indirectly to, the Site, including interactions with other Site users and any Third-Party Links & Ads. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542 in connection with the foregoing, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."

7. Disclaimers

THE SITE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, AND THE COMPANY AND ITS SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

THE COMPANY AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE SITE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS, OR BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL CODE, COMPLETE, LEGAL, OR SAFE. WHERE IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE REQUIRED BY LAW, THEY ARE LIMITED TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST USE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

8. Limitation on Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS, OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR COMPUTER SYSTEM, OR LOSS OF DATA, RESULTING FROM THAT ACCESS OR USE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM OF FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50). THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

9. Term and Termination

These Terms remain in full force and effect while you use the Site. The Company may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Site, including your Account, at any time for any reason, including any use of the Site in violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your Account and right to access and use the Site will terminate immediately, and your User Content may be deleted from our live databases. The Company will not be liable to you for any termination of your rights under these Terms. Sections 3 (as to its restrictions and ownership) and 4 through 12 survive any termination.

10. Copyright Policy

The Company respects the intellectual property of others and asks that users of the Site do the same. In connection with the Site, we have adopted and implemented a policy respecting copyright law that provides for the removal of infringing materials and, in appropriate circumstances, the termination of repeat infringers.

If you believe that one of our users is unlawfully infringing copyright through the Site and want the allegedly infringing material removed, send a written notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) to founders@manicule.dev providing the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work or works you claim have been infringed.
  3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove.
  4. Sufficient information to permit us to locate the material.
  5. Your address, telephone number, and email address.
  6. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  7. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

11. Dispute Resolution

11.1 Informal Resolution First. Before initiating arbitration, the party raising a dispute must send the other party a written notice describing the dispute (to the Company: founders@manicule.dev or the address in Section 12; to you: the email address associated with your Account or that you otherwise provide), and the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through individualized discussion for at least sixty (60) days after the notice. All statutes of limitations are tolled during this period.

11.2 Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site — including its formation, interpretation, breach, or termination, and including whether a claim is subject to arbitration — that is not resolved under Section 11.1 will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or, for claims outside their scope, its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures), as modified by these Terms and, where applicable, the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. The arbitration will be conducted in English by a single arbitrator in San Francisco, California, except that if you are an individual using the Site for personal purposes, you may elect to arbitrate in the county where you reside or by videoconference. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 11. The arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Payment of JAMS filing, administration, and arbitrator fees is governed by the applicable JAMS rules, and each party otherwise bears its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator awards them under applicable law.

11.3 Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 11.2, either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies; and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of a party's intellectual property rights.

11.4 Class Action Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ANY PROCEEDING TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE UNDER THESE TERMS WILL BE BROUGHT AND CONDUCTED ONLY IN THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from arbitration and brought in the courts identified in Section 11.6, and the waiver remains in effect for all other claims.

11.5 Mass Filings. If twenty-five (25) or more similar arbitration demands are filed against a party by or with the assistance of the same law firm or organization, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines (including its fee schedule) will apply, and the parties will cooperate in good faith on a process (such as batching or bellwether proceedings) for the fair and efficient resolution of the demands.

11.6 Governing Law; Chosen Courts; Jury Waiver. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. For any dispute not subject to arbitration under this Section 11, the parties will bring the action exclusively in the State courts of the State of California located in the City and County of San Francisco or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of those courts. FOR ANY DISPUTE PROCEEDING IN COURT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

11.7 Opt-Out. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class action waiver in this Section 11 by emailing founders@manicule.dev with the subject line "ARBITRATION OPT-OUT", your full name, and the email address associated with your use of the Site, within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

11.8 Survival. This Section 11 survives any termination of these Terms or of your use of the Site.

12. General

These Terms are subject to occasional revision. If we make substantial changes, we will notify you by email to the last address you provided us and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on the Site. Continued use of the Site following such notice constitutes your acceptance of the changes; changes to Section 11 do not apply to disputes that arose before the change. If you do not agree to the changes, stop using the Site.

The Site may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may also be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. If you are a California resident, complaint information is available through the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs.

Communications between you and the Company use electronic means, and you consent to receive communications from us electronically; electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding use of the Site. The Company may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets; you may not assign them without the Company's prior written consent. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
