7.User Content and Licensing

Ownership. You retain full ownership of all Content you create or upload through the Service. These Terms do not transfer any intellectual property rights from you to us.

License to Datafolio. By uploading or publishing Content through the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, and deliver that Content solely as necessary to operate and provide the Service. This licence ends when you delete the Content or your Account, subject to the retention periods in our Privacy Policy.

Public portfolios. When you publish a Portfolio, you acknowledge that it will be publicly accessible and indexable by search engines. If you later unpublish it, we will remove it from active serving; cached copies held by third-party search engines or social platforms are outside our control.

Your representations. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to all Content you submit, and that your Content does not violate any third-party rights or applicable law.

8.Subscriptions, Billing, and Payments

Plan tiers. The Service is offered on a Free Tier and one or more paid Subscription tiers, as described on our pricing page. Pricing and features are subject to change as described below.

Billing cycles. Paid Subscriptions are billed on the cycle described at the time of purchase (monthly or annual). Your Subscription renews automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date.

Payment processors. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processors:

  • ›Cryptocurrency (NowPayments). Payments made in USDT, USDC, or other supported cryptocurrencies are processed by NowPayments. Cryptocurrency payments are final and non-refundable once confirmed on the blockchain, due to the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions.
  • ›Card payments (Lemon Squeezy). Where available, card payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy.

Refund policy. All payments made through the Service — including Subscriptions, one-time purchases, and add-ons — are final and non-refundable, regardless of payment method or plan tier. Cryptocurrency payments processed via NowPayments are irreversible by the nature of blockchain transactions and cannot be recalled or charged back. This same no-refund policy applies equally to card payments processed via Lemon Squeezy and to any future payment methods added to the platform. By completing any purchase on the Service, you acknowledge and accept that no refund will be issued under any circumstances, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Price changes. We may change Subscription pricing at any time. For existing Subscribers, price changes will take effect at the next billing cycle after we provide at least 30 days’ notice by email. Continued use of a paid Subscription after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new price.

Cancellation. You may cancel your Subscription at any time through your account settings or the billing portal link in your dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you retain access to paid features until then.

9.Free Tier Terms

  • ›The Free Tier provides access to a limited feature set as described on the pricing page, including a cap on the number of projects per Portfolio and a subset of available themes.
  • ›We do not guarantee that the Free Tier will remain available indefinitely. We reserve the right to modify, limit, or discontinue the Free Tier with 30 days’ notice.
  • ›Free Tier users may be shown branding identifying the Portfolio as built with Datafolio. Removing this branding requires a paid Subscription or the Launch Pack add-on.
  • ›There is no charge for the Free Tier; accordingly, no refunds are applicable.

10.Intellectual Property

Datafolio’s IP. The Service, including its software, code, design, UI, graphics, trademarks, and the “Datafolio” name and logo, are owned by the Company or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use Datafolio’s trademarks, trade names, or branding without our prior written consent.

Feedback. If you provide suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use and incorporate that feedback without obligation to you.

AI-generated content. Text generated by AI features at your request is provided for your use. The ownership and copyright status of AI-generated outputs varies by jurisdiction; you are responsible for understanding your local law regarding such content before relying on it commercially.

11.Termination

Termination by you. You may stop using the Service and delete your Account at any time through the dashboard. Upon deletion, your published Portfolio will be taken down and your data processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Termination by us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if:

  • ›You violate these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy.
  • ›We are required to do so by law or a court or regulatory authority.
  • ›We decide to discontinue the Service (with 30 days’ notice for paid Subscribers where practicable).

Effect of termination. On termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15) will continue to apply.

12.Disclaimers and Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR SECURE.

  • ›Any AI-generated content will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose.
  • ›The Service will be available at any particular time or location.

13.Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) USD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14.Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights. We reserve the right to assume exclusive control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defence of such claims.

15.Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Governing law. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Kenya, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

Mediation. Before initiating arbitration or litigation, both parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through mediation. Either party may initiate mediation by providing written notice to the other at contact@datafolio.online. If the dispute is not resolved through mediation within 60 days of that notice (or such longer period as both parties agree to in writing), either party may proceed to arbitration as set out below.

Arbitration. If mediation fails to resolve the dispute, it shall be finally and bindingly settled by arbitration administered by the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA) under its Arbitration Rules as in force at the time the dispute is referred. The seat of arbitration shall be Nairobi, Kenya. Proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on both parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Nothing in this section limits either party’s right to seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

16.Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will:

  • ›Update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
  • ›Notify registered Users by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect, for material changes that affect your rights.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and may delete your Account.

17.Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.

18.Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms applicable to specific features (e.g., add-on purchase confirmations), constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the same subject matter. No waiver of any term of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of that term or any other term.
