TERMS OF SERVICE

To embark on your Hivedeck journey, the first step is to create an account – what we call your "Hivedeck Account." This is your key to unlocking the many features and possibilities our platform offers. When creating your account, please bear in mind the following:

Accurate Information: We kindly ask that you provide us with accurate, truthful, and up-to-date information during the account setup process. This helps us in various ways, including but not limited to ensuring the security of your account and facilitating essential communication with you.

Complete Profile: A comprehensive profile enables us to personalise your Hivedeck experience and offer you tailored content and services. It also aids in connecting you with others in the Hivedeck community.

Security is a shared responsibility, and your role in keeping your Hivedeck account safe is crucial. Here are some key points to remember:

Password Protection: Your account is protected by a password, and we urge you to create a strong and unique one. Avoid using easily guessable information and consider a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters for added security.

Confidentiality: Keeping your password and other authentication credentials (collectively known as "passwords'') confidential is vital. Your passwords are your digital keys to your Hivedeck kingdom. Never share your passwords with anyone, and ensure they are not easily accessible to others.

Immediate Reporting: If you suspect that your account has been compromised, or if you detect any unauthorised use, it's essential to inform us immediately. This swift action can help us take appropriate measures to secure your account.

In the rare event of a dispute concerning account or content ownership, we have processes in place to ensure a fair and just resolution. Here are the key factors we consider:

Primary Email Address: We often consider the person or entity with access to the primary email address associated with an account as its owner.

User Content: The owner of user-generated content is typically the person or entity with access to the primary email address linked to the account where the content was created.

Billing Details: For accounts with paid fees, ownership may be determined based on the billing details used for payment.

Sole Discretion: In unique cases, Hivedeck reserves the exclusive right to resolve ownership disputes based on the information available.
