Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By creating an account or using StartupBar, you agree to these Terms of Service.

2. The service

StartupBar is a free mutual traffic-exchange network for software founders. Members embed a widget on their site that displays another member's startup. In return, their own startup is displayed on other members' sites. No money changes hands.

3. Eligibility

• You must be 13 years of age or older.
• You must be the owner or authorised representative of the startup you submit.
• Your startup must have a live, publicly accessible website.

4. Application & approval

All submissions are reviewed before going live. We reserve the right to approve or reject any application at our sole discretion.

5. Widget obligation

By joining, you agree to keep the StartupBar embed script active on your site while your startup is in the network. Removing the widget while still receiving impressions from other members violates these terms.

6. Acceptable use

You may not submit content promoting illegal products, adult content, gambling, hate speech, spam, or anything violating Google's or Apple's developer policies. Artificially inflating impression or click counts is grounds for immediate removal.

7. Intellectual property

You retain ownership of your startup name, logo, and description. By submitting them, you grant StartupBar a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display them within the network.

8. No warranties

The Service is provided "as is". We do not guarantee a specific volume of impressions or clicks.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, StartupBar shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

10. Termination

You may remove your startup and close your account at any time from your Account page.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
