Terms

1. Eligibility

You must be 18 or older and able to enter a binding agreement. You must use Lynkur in a way that complies with the law that applies to you.

2. What Lynkur is

Lynkur gives you one public address for your professional presence — who you are, the links and documents you share, the events you run, and the people you meet through them. It includes a public profile page, event pages with registration, shareable links and QR codes, and a private record of the people who engaged with them.

We may change, add or remove features, and may suspend the service for maintenance or for reasons set out below.

3. Your account

Lynkur has no passwords. You sign in through a link sent to your email, so control of that inbox is control of your account — keep it secure and do not forward a sign-in link to anyone. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Do not impersonate anyone or try to reach an account that is not yours.

4. Your address

Your handle is claimed rather than owned. Some names are held back, a handle can only be changed a limited number of times, and an address you have used is never reassigned to somebody else — links and printed QR codes have to keep landing. The handle policy sets out how this works, and it forms part of these terms.

We may reclaim a handle that impersonates a person or organization, or that was registered to sell rather than to use.

5. Your page is public

This is the part worth reading twice. A Lynkur page is published to the open web. Anyone holding the address can open it without an account, and unless you ask otherwise it can be listed by search engines and shown as a preview when the link is shared.

Your email address and phone number are not on your page until you turn each one on. Everything else you add to your page — your name, photo, role, company, location, bio, links, documents and published events — you are choosing to publish. Do not put anything on it that you would not want a stranger to read, copy or keep.

Asking search engines not to list your page is not the same as making it private. Anyone with the address still opens it.

6. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you put on Lynkur. You give Lynkur LLC a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, store, transmit and display it, so that we can operate the service and show your page to the people you send it to. That licence exists to run Lynkur and for nothing else, and it ends when you remove the content or close your account.

You confirm that you have the right to publish what you upload, and that it does not infringe anyone else’s rights.

7. People you collect

When somebody registers for your event or exchanges contact details with you, their details are recorded against your account and Lynkur keeps a record of how you met. That is other people’s personal information, and you are responsible for it.

• Use it for the relationship it was given for. Somebody who registered for a dinner did not opt into a mailing list.
• Honour requests to be removed or to stop being contacted, promptly.
• Comply with the marketing, privacy and data-protection law that applies to you and to them.
• Do not sell it, and do not upload it somewhere it should not go.

Between you and Lynkur LLC, you are the one deciding what these details are used for. We host them for you.

8. Acceptable use

Do not use Lynkur to:

• Pretend to be a person, company or organization you are not, or imply an endorsement, employment or affiliation you do not have.
• Mislead, phish, defraud, or distribute malware.
• Publish content you have no right to publish, or somebody else’s private information.
• Harass, threaten or target anyone.
• Scrape, crawl at scale, reverse engineer, or interfere with the operation of the service or anyone else’s use of it.
• Send unsolicited bulk email to contacts collected through Lynkur.

Do not upload government identification numbers, payment card numbers, health information, or other highly regulated data. Lynkur is not built to hold it.

9. Reporting

Anyone can report a profile or its content, with or without an account. We review reports and take action when appropriate, which can include removing content, reclaiming a handle, or closing an account. We may not be able to tell a reporter the outcome of every report.

10. Paid plans

Some features are part of a paid plan. If you subscribe, the plan renews automatically until you cancel, and cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for. Fees are non-refundable, and we do not provide credit for partial periods or for downgrades. Payments are handled by a third-party payment processor; we do not store your full card details. We may change pricing with reasonable notice.

11. Pre-release features

Features marked as beta or early access may change, break or be withdrawn. They are provided without any guarantee of availability or of the preservation of anything created with them.

12. Other services

Lynkur relies on third parties for hosting, storage, email delivery and payments, and your page may link to services we have nothing to do with. Those are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for their availability, security or content.

13. Our intellectual property

Lynkur’s software, name, mark, design and interfaces belong to Lynkur LLC. Nothing in these terms gives you a right to them beyond using the service as it is offered.

14. Privacy

How we handle personal information is set out in the privacy policy.

15. Ending it

You can stop using Lynkur at any time and close your account, which unpublishes your page. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, creates risk for other people, or where the law requires it, and we may discontinue the service. For a short period after deletion, content can remain in backups before it is permanently removed.

16. Disclaimers

Lynkur is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lynkur LLC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that anything stored will be preserved.

17. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lynkur LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data or business interruption. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of one hundred US dollars ($100) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

18. Indemnification

You will indemnify Lynkur LLC and its officers, employees and contractors against claims arising from your use of Lynkur, the content you publish, the contacts you collect, your breach of these terms, or your breach of the law.

19. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

20. Changes

We may update these terms. Where a change is material we will give reasonable notice through the service or by email. Continuing to use Lynkur after a change takes effect means you accept it.
