Terms and Conditions

Terms of Service Overview

Below is an overview of our Terms of Service for our “Platform”, which means any website, application, or service we offer. You should read the complete Terms of Service because that document (and not this overview) is our legally binding agreement. The Terms of Service includes information about your legal rights and covers areas such as automatic subscription renewals, limitations of liability, resolution of disputes by mandatory arbitration rather than a judge or jury in a court of law, and a class action waiver.

Your Relationship with nextcept

By using our Platform, you are agreeing to our Terms of Service. That is a legally binding agreement between you and nextcept.

If you break the rules, we may suspend or terminate your account.

We may charge for certain aspects of our Platform, and some of these fees are billed on a regular and recurring basis (unless you disable auto-renewal or cancel your subscription).

Nextcept Questions, Meets, Messaging, Posts, and Any Other Platform Areas

Using our Platform involves sharing and learning about personal information from other users. You may also meet other users in real life. Any of the features we offer may lead to unexpected situations. We can’t control what happens in the real world and we'll try our best on our platform. This doesn't mean we will always succeed and we are not responsible for surprising, unpredictable, or predicatable situations. You should use common sense and good judgment when interacting with others.

Your Content and Content of Others

You are responsible for your “Content”, which means any information, material, or other content posted to our Platform. Your Content must comply with our Terms of Service, which includes our various policies. Your Content is also subject to our Intellectual Property Dispute Policies.

We do not own the Content that you post. However, we do require that you provide us a perpetual license to use this Content in order for us to operate, improve, promote, and protect nextcept and our Platform for the benefit of you and others.

We are not responsible for Content that users post or the communications that users send using our Platform. We generally don’t review Content before it’s posted. If you see Content that violates our Terms of Service, you may report inappropriate Content to us.

Our Platform

We try hard to make sure that our Platform is always available and working, but we cannot guarantee it will be. Occasionally things may not go exactly as planned. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

We are continually improving our Platform. This means that we may modify or discontinue portions of our Platform.

By using our Platform, you agree to the limitations of liability and release in our Terms of Service. Except as specified in our Terms of Service, you also agree to resolve any disputes you may have with us through arbitration, and you are waiving your right to seek relief from a judge or jury in a court of law, except as otherwise provided for in the Terms of Service. Claims can only be brought individually, and not as part of a class action.

Our Terms of Service contain important information about your legal rights. To make it easier to understand, we have provided summaries and tips in these gray boxes. These summaries are not part of the official terms, and it is important for you to read the language in each section carefully.
