Terms of Service
Kortaga LLC — Terms of Service
These terms set out what you can expect from the Kortaga Account, and what we ask of you in return.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Kortaga LLC ("Kortaga", "we", "us"), governing the Kortaga Account and any service we provide through it (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.
1. Definitions
"Account" means the Kortaga Account identified by your email address. "Property" means a website or application that accepts the Kortaga Account for sign-in, whether operated by us or by an affiliate. "Content" means anything you submit through the Service. "Signals" means the small derived values described in Section 5.
2. Eligibility and your account
You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live, to hold an Account. You must provide an email address you control and confirm it. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for activity occurring through your Account, except to the extent caused by our failure. Notify us at legal@kortaga.com promptly if you believe your Account has been compromised. One person, one Account; you may not sell, transfer or share it.
3. What the Service does and does not do
The Service authenticates you to Properties and may carry limited attributes about you, as set out in the Privacy Policy. Each Property is separately governed by its own terms and holds its own data. The Service is not a backup, an archive, or a store of your Property data, and we do not guarantee that any Property will continue to accept the Kortaga Account.
4. Acceptable use
You will not: (a) probe, scan, overload, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure; (b) create Accounts by automated means or hold Accounts you are not entitled to; (c) impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation; (d) circumvent authentication, rate limiting or security controls; (e) use the Service to violate law or the rights of others; or (f) reverse engineer, decompile or derive source code from the Service except where that restriction is prohibited by law. We may investigate suspected violations and take the measures described in Section 9.
5. Content, signals and the licence you grant
You retain ownership of your Content. You grant Kortaga LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, transmit and display your Content solely to operate, secure and provide the Service to you and to Properties you direct us to. This licence exists only for that purpose and ends when the Content is deleted, except for copies retained in routine backups for a limited period or where retention is required by law.
Signals are shared with a Property only if you enable that specific Signal. You may disable any Signal, and delete all Signals, at any time. You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit your Content and to permit the uses described here.
6. Software
Any software we provide as part of the Service is licensed, not sold, on a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable basis, solely to use the Service as permitted by these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Kortaga LLC and its licensors retain all intellectual property rights in the Service, including its names, marks and designs; nothing in these Terms grants you a right to use them.
7. Fees
The Kortaga Account is provided at no charge. If we introduce paid features we will present the price and terms before you incur any charge.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any data will not be lost or altered.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those places, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted.
9. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your Account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your Account, in whole or in part, if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, if your conduct creates risk or legal exposure for you, another person or Kortaga LLC, or if we discontinue the Service. Where practical and lawful we will give reasonable advance notice. Sections 5 (as to licences granted before termination), 6, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 survive termination.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kortaga LLC and its officers, directors, employees, contractors and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data or business interruption, arising out of or relating to these terms or the service, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of Kortaga LLC arising out of or relating to these terms or the service is limited to the greater of (a) one hundred United States dollars (US$100) or (b) the amount you paid us to use the service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the liability.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for gross negligence or wilful misconduct where such limitation is prohibited.
11. Indemnification
If you use the Service on behalf of a business or other organisation, that organisation will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Kortaga LLC and its officers, directors, employees and contractors from and against any third-party claim, proceeding, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to its use of the Service, its Content, or its breach of these Terms. This Section does not apply to consumers using the Service for personal purposes.
12. Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting legal@kortaga.com; if it is not resolved within sixty days, either party may bring a claim.
You and Kortaga LLC agree that any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Sacramento County, California, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there. Each party waives any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective or representative action, to the extent permitted by law. If you are a consumer resident in a country whose law grants you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts and to the protection of that country's mandatory consumer law, nothing in this Section removes that right.
13. Copyright and the DMCA
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement. If you believe Content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent at legal@kortaga.com with: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the work claimed to be infringed; identification of the material claimed to be infringing and enough detail for us to locate it; your address, telephone number and email address; a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
If your Content is removed you may send a counter notice containing your signature, identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the United States, for Sacramento County, California) and to accept service from the complaining party. We may terminate the Accounts of repeat infringers.
14. Developer and API terms
The Kortaga Account offers an OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect interface so that a Property or a third party can let people sign in. If you build against it you must: register your client and use only your registered redirect URIs; keep client secrets confidential; request the narrowest scopes your application needs and not request a scope you do not use; present your own identity honestly and never imply that Kortaga LLC endorses or operates your application; not store or log a person's Kortaga password, and never present a field that asks for one; not misrepresent your application as the Kortaga Account or as any Property; honour a person's withdrawal of consent and stop using data you received once access is revoked; and not use the interface to build a profile of a person for advertising, scoring or resale. We may rate limit, suspend or terminate a client at any time, including for security reasons, and we may change or discontinue the interface with notice.
15. Previews and early services
Parts of the Service are made available as previews. Previews are provided for evaluation, may be changed or withdrawn at any time, may not work as documented, and are excluded from any service commitment. Do not use a preview for anything you cannot afford to lose. If we give you access to a preview that is not publicly announced, treat its existence and its details as confidential until we announce it. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without obligation or compensation to you.
16. Communications and notices
By creating an Account you agree that we may communicate with you electronically, including by email to the address on your Account and by notices posted in the Service, and that those communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. We will send you service messages you cannot opt out of while you hold an Account, such as security alerts, verification messages and changes to these Terms; marketing messages are separate and you may opt out of them at any time.
Legal notices to Kortaga LLC must be in writing to legal@kortaga.com and are effective when we acknowledge receipt. We do not provide support by telephone.
17. About these Terms
We may modify these Terms to reflect changes to the Service or to law. For material changes we will give reasonable advance notice and update the effective date, except where a change is required urgently for legal or security reasons. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it; if you do not, stop using the Service and delete your Account.
If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Kortaga LLC regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreement on that subject. You may not use the Service if you are subject to United States sanctions or located in an embargoed territory, and you will comply with applicable export control laws. Notices to us go to legal@kortaga.com; notices to you may be sent to the email address on your Account.
A Property may publish additional terms for its own service. Those additional terms apply to that Property in addition to these Terms, and where they conflict on a subject specific to that Property, the additional terms govern for that subject only. If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind it, and these Terms bind it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination do survive it, including Sections 5 (the licence you grant), 8 (disclaimer), 10 (liability), 11 (indemnification), 12 (disputes) and this Section.
