Draft notice: This page is a starting draft. Replace every [PLACEHOLDER] with your real details and have a qualified lawyer review the final wording before launch.

1. Who we are

devstack (the "Service") is operated by [YOUR FULL NAME], based at [YOUR POSTAL ADDRESS] ("we", "us"). Contact: [CONTACT EMAIL].

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use devstack. By creating an account, you confirm that you are.

3. Your account

  • One account per person. Don't impersonate others.
  • You're responsible for the security of your authentication credentials.
  • We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or that are used to harm the Service or its users.

4. Your content

Your profile (display name, bio, favorites, social links) is content you provide ("Your Content"). You keep ownership of Your Content. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, cache, display, and distribute Your Content for the sole purpose of operating the Service. This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except that we may retain copies in backups for up to 30 days.

Your profile is public.Anything you publish on devstack can be viewed and indexed by anyone on the internet. Don't publish anything you do not want to be public.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • publish illegal, infringing, defamatory, or harmful content;
  • harass, threaten, or impersonate other people;
  • distribute malware, phishing, or spam;
  • scrape or crawl the Service at scale, or otherwise place an undue load on it;
  • attempt to bypass security, authentication, or rate limits;
  • use the Service to train machine-learning models on profile data without the profile owner's consent.

We can remove content or suspend accounts that breach these rules.

6. Reporting and takedown

If you believe content on devstack infringes your rights or violates these terms, email [CONTACT EMAIL] with a description of the content, its URL, and your contact information. For copyright complaints, please include the information required under applicable law (in the EU, Art. 16 DSA; in the US, 17 U.S.C. §512).

7. Service availability and changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service at any time. We will give reasonable notice for material changes where practical.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, except those that cannot be excluded under applicable law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill arising out of your use of the Service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (including liability for intent or gross negligence, or under mandatory consumer-protection rules).

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims arising from Your Content or from your breach of these terms, except to the extent the claim arises from our intent or gross negligence.

11. Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account. We may terminate or suspend access for breach of these terms, illegal use, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination, the license you grant us in Section 4 ends, subject to the backup retention period.

12. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of [YOUR COUNTRY], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence still apply. Disputes shall be brought before the competent courts of [YOUR CITY / COUNTRY], unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The "last updated" date above shows the current version. We will announce material changes in advance, and continued use of the Service after they take effect means you accept the updated terms.
