Terms of Service
Draft — not yet in force
This is an outline of the sections this document needs. It has not been written or reviewed by a lawyer and should not be relied on. It must be completed before SimpleSynk accepts customers.
Agreement
Who the contract is between, and how it is accepted — in practice, at signup. Whoever creates a workspace is binding their employer, so the terms should say they warrant they are authorised to do so.
The service
What SimpleSynk provides, and what it does not commit to.
Accounts and acceptable use
Responsibility for credentials and for the conduct of invited users, and the behaviour that will get an account suspended.
Fees, billing, and taxes
Per-active-person pricing, the monthly billing cycle, proration when headcount changes, and the fact that VAT is added at checkout based on the customer's country and VAT status. Should state that published price changes do not apply to an existing subscription until the customer moves to a new plan.
Refunds and cancellation
How to cancel, when access ends, and the refund position. Note that EU consumer withdrawal rights generally do not apply to B2B sales — but if you ever sell to individuals, they do.
Customer data
Confirmation that the customer owns their content, the licence granted to us to operate the service, and how data can be exported or is deleted after termination. Should cross-reference the Data Processing Agreement.
Availability
Any uptime commitment. If there is no SLA, say so plainly rather than leaving it ambiguous.
Liability
Limitation and exclusion of liability, and any cap. This is the section most worth paying a lawyer for.
Termination
How either side ends the agreement, and what happens to data afterwards.
Governing law
Which country's law applies and where disputes are heard.
Changes to these terms
How customers are notified of changes and when they take effect.
