Terms of service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of firmproof.io, firmproof.tech, and any product, service, or content provided by FirmProof, currently operated by its founder ahead of incorporation as FirmProof, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("FirmProof," "we," "us," or "our"). By using our site or services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our site or services.

If you are using FirmProof under a separate signed agreement (a Master Services Agreement, Design Partner Agreement, Pilot Agreement, or similar), that agreement governs the specific services covered by it and prevails over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.

Who may use FirmProof

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. If you are using FirmProof on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you personally and the entity.

FirmProof is a business-to-business service. It is not intended for personal, family, or household use.
