Last Revised: 30 June, 2021
Effective Date: 01 July, 2021
Welcome to Sortd and thanks for your interest in our Service!
Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website(s), products, services and applications (collectively, the “Services”). These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Sortd, Inc (“Sortd,” “we” and “us”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms or the Services, please contact us at terms@sortd.com. You must agree to and accept ALL of the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Services. Your using of the Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy Policy.
Sortd has different types of users depending on how the Sortd Services are used.
Sortd provides a means for users to use Sortd in a standalone fashion, as well as groups of users to form a “Team” and to use Sortd in a more collaborative manner. Standalone users do not have access to the collaborative features, such as “Shared Boards” (a board being a set of lists), whereas users within a Team can have varying access to different “Boards” as well as being able to share email.
Consequently, we have different terminology for different types of users, viz.:
By accessing or using the Service(s) you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service(s) on behalf of an organisation or entity (“Organisation”), then you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of that Organisation and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Organisation to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” refers to you and that Organisation.
You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with Sortd, and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state/provincial, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. The Service may change from time to time as we evolve, refine or add more features to the Service, often without prior notice to you. In addition, Sortd may temporarily or permanently stop providing the Service, or any features within the Service, to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice.
Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services or the Content you access. You may not use Content from our Services unless you obtain permission from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law. These terms do not grant you the right to use any branding or logos used in our Services. Don’t remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services.
Sortd currently uses a freemium based commercial model, meaning that some Sortd services are free to use, with certain limitations. Sortd provides, and will further provide, additional (optional) features and tools as upgradeable packages that are available for a monthly or annual subscription fee.
Sortd continues to reserve the right to require payment of fees for certain or all services and features, including without limitation any tiered subscription based fees or once off charges. Sortd will not require fees or back payment for the use of Sortd for the duration that it was in Beta, nor will it necessarily EVER require payment for the basic use of the Service and/or Software, although the additional (clearly marked) subscription packages including new services and features may incur a monthly or annual subscription fee. Please see the current Sortd pricing, on the main Sortd Pricing webpage.
While you may cancel any Paid Subscription at any time, you won't be issued a refund except in our sole discretion, or if legally required (such as for qualifying users in the EU). We encourage you to make use of the free Trial or monthly billing options if you are not sure about annual billing. We aim to be fair and reasonable, so if you have chosen to cancel a subscription and believe that you might be entitled to a refund, please contact us and we will discuss refund terms. We will however not refund normal legitimate subscriptions.
Sortd will update these Terms and Conditions and notify all users of any amendments to any fees or charges (before coming into effect) that may be incurred by the continued use of Sortd.
We may revise these Terms from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our website. If a revision, in our sole discretion, is material we will notify you (for example via email to the email address associated with your account). Other changes may be posted to our blog or Terms page, so please check those pages regularly. By continuing to access or use the Service after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using the Services.
Some areas of the Service may allow you to post or upload information, text, graphics, or other material (“Content” or, when posted by you, “your Content”). Some of your Content may be viewable by other users when shared and/or used in a collaborative fashion.
You agree not to post/share or otherwise collaborate on Content that:
You agree that any Content that you post does not and will not violate rights of any kind, including without limitation any intellectual property rights or rights of privacy. We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to reject and/or remove any Content that we believe, in our sole discretion, violates these provisions.
You retain full ownership to your Content, but you agree to grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, transferable, perpetual, sub licensable, royalty-free license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example making sure your content is viewable on a mobile phone as well as a computer) and reproduce and otherwise act with respect to such Content in connection with providing the Service to you and other users in accordance with your settings on the Service.
While, you retain ownership of your Content, there are many things that users may do with your Content, for example, copy it, modify it, re-share it, or broadcast it. Sortd has no responsibility for that activity. You understand that sharing or publishing your Content on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the appropriate Copyright, Patent or Trademark authorities, or any other rights organisation that may be applicable.
We reserve the right at all times, but are not obligated, to remove or refuse to distribute any Content on the Service including your Content. We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as we reasonably believe is necessary to
All Content in or on the Service, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted by users, is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such Content. We do not endorse, support, represent or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any Content or communications posted via the Service or endorse any opinions expressed via the Service. We may not monitor or control the Content posted via the Service and, we cannot take responsibility for such Content. If you use or rely on any Content or materials posted via the Service or obtained by you through the Service, it is at your own risk. Under no circumstances will Sortd be liable in any way for any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content in the Service.
You agree that you are responsible for your use of the Service, for any Content you provide, and for any consequences thereof, including the use of your Content by other users and third parties. You understand that if you do not have the right to submit Content to the Service, doing so may subject you to liability. Sortd will not be responsible or liable for any use of your Content by Sortd in accordance with these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the rights granted herein to any Content that you submit including all necessary rights to upload your Content for use in accordance with these terms and conditions.
In order to take advantage of the Services you will need a Sortd Account, which you can create yourself. Sortd does not require you to create a set of Sortd credentials, but rather uses the login and security mechanisms provided via the Google OAuth system. Additionally Sortd needs certain access rights (“permissions”) to your Google account, in order to function correctly and you will be asked to authorise these permissions during the Google OAuth sign up process.
If you choose to provide Sortd with access to your Google account, the information that Sortd will have access to, will be dictated by Google. Should you choose not to provide Sortd access, you will not be able to make use of the Services.
You represent and warrant that you are entitled to grant Sortd access to your Google account (including, but not limited to, for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of that account and without obligating Sortd to pay any fees. By granting Sortd access to your account, you understand that Sortd will access, make available and store (if applicable) any Content that you have provided to, and/or stored in, your Google account, so that it is available on and through Sortd via your Sortd account (as described by the OAuth permissions requested). Please see the Sortd Privacy Policy for more detailed information pertaining to this.
If you decide that you no longer want to use Sortd, and/or provide Sortd with access to your Google account, you can terminate your use of our Services at any time. However, the only way to actually revoke Sortd’s access to your account is for you to remove Sortd’s authorisation through Google directly. You acknowledge that you are personally responsible for revoking Sortd’s access to your account. Furthermore in the case of “Subscribers” you acknowledge that revoking access does not constitute cancellation of the service, and you remain liable for payment until such time as you have either cancelled the Service yourself, or requested via legitimate support channels for Sortd to do so on your behalf.
Note: To cancel the Service, you need access to it, and hence you should cancel the Service before revoking access.
You agree not to share your Google account or password with anyone, and you must protect the security of your account and your password. You are responsible for any activity associated with your account.
Sortd is trusted by its users, and we trust you to use our Service responsibly. You agree not to misuse the Service. For example, you may not, and must not attempt to do the following things:
Additionally users agree to comply with all local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content.
We may investigate and/or suspend your account if you violate any of the above rules. Furthermore, we reserve the right to immediately terminate your account without further notice in the event that, in our sole and absolute judgment, you violate these Terms, or abuse the use of our Service.
Subject to these Terms, Sortd gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, non-sublicensable and non-exclusive license to use the Service. We reserve all rights not expressly granted in these Terms in the Service. We can terminate this license at any time for any reason or for no reason. Some of our Services allow you to download client software ("Software") such as Mobile Apps, Web Browser Plugins/Extensions and or Computer Applications. To use the Software you must have a Mobile device, Operating System and/or Web Browser that is compatible with the Software. We do not warrant that the Software will be compatible with your Mobile device, Operating System or Web Browser. We give you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use a compiled code copy of the Software only for your own internal use on each of a, Mobile device, Computer or Web Browser owned or leased solely by you, for your exclusive use (for personal or work related activities).
You may not:
You agree that we may from time to time issue upgraded versions of the Software, and may automatically electronically upgrade the version of the Software that you are using on your Mobile device, Computer or Web Browser. You agree to the automatic upgrading, and agree that the terms and conditions of these Terms will apply to any upgrades. Any third-party code that may be incorporated in the Software is covered by the applicable open source or third-party license EULA, if any, authorising use of such code. This license is not a sale of the Software or any copy thereof, and Sortd or its third party partners or suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in the Software (and any copy thereof).
All right, title, and interest in and to the Service (excluding Content provided by users) are and will remain the exclusive property of Sortd and its licensors. The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States of America, and foreign countries. Nothing in the Terms gives you a right to use the Sortd name or any of the Sortd trademarks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features. Any feedback, comments, or suggestions you may provide regarding Sortd, or the Service is entirely voluntary and we will be free to use such feedback, comments or suggestions as we see fit and without any obligation to you.
We are constantly changing and improving our Services. We may add or remove functionalities or features, and we may suspend or stop the Service altogether. You can stop using our Services at any time. Sortd may also stop providing Services to you, or add or create new limits to our Services at any time.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Services. Account termination may result in deletion of any Content associated with your account and stored by Sortd systems, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your account. Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership, or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.
We believe that you own your data and preserving your access to such data is important. If we discontinue our Service, where reasonably possible, we will give you reasonable advance notice and a chance to get information out of the Service.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sortd and its licensee and licensors, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from your use of and access to the Service, including any data or Content transmitted or received by you, any other party’s access or use of the Service with your username and password, or your violation of these Terms, applicable law, rule or regulation.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, SORTD AND ITS LICENSORS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE CONTENT IS ACCURATE, RELIABLE OR CORRECT; THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION, UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE; THAT ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE SERVICE IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. ANY CONTENT DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICE IS DOWNLOADED AT YOUR OWN RISK AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM SUCH DOWNLOAD OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. WE DO NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE SERVICE OR ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE OR SERVICE, AND WE WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY MONITOR ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SORTD, ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS SERVICE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SORTD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS OR INJURY RESULTING FROM HACKING, TAMPERING OR OTHER UNAUTHORISED ACCESS OR USE OF THE SERVICE OR YOUR ACCOUNT OR THE INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SORTD ASSUMES NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY (I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT; (II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SERVICE; (III) ANY UNAUTHORISED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN; (IV) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE SERVICE; (V) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE THAT MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH OUR SERVICE BY ANY THIRD PARTY; (VI) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE; AND/OR (VII) USER CONTENT OR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SORTD ITS AGENTS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS, PROCEEDINGS, LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES, LOSSES OR COSTS IN AN AMOUNT EXCEEDING THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO COMPANY HEREUNDER. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SECTION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF SORTD HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION. SOME COUNTRIES AND STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS AGREEMENT GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY OR STATE TO STATE. THE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
The Service is hosted and run from facilities in the United States of America (USA). We make no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in any specific location. Those who access or use the Service from jurisdictions other than the USA do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations.
You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Services account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Sortd’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent. Any attempted transfer or assignment by you will be null and void.
Ideally, if you have any concerns or complaint against Sortd, we would like to resolve the issue without resorting to formal court or arbitration proceedings. Therefore, before filing a claim against Sortd, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting terms@sortd.com. Sortd will attempt to resolve the dispute informally (and will contact you via email). If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days of submission, you may bring a formal proceeding.
In the unlikely event that Sortd has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any urgent or interim relief which may be granted by a competent court) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), then such a dispute shall be submitted to confidential and binding arbitration in terms of the expedited rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA)*. The AAA will administer arbitration proceedings under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, and the judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) will be final and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
All Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and Sortd are each waiving the right to participate in a class action. Additionally, it is agreed that all Claims must be commenced within one year of the alleged harm initially occurring, failure of which shall bar the Claim or any subsequent claim of substantively the same facts or occurrences from being accepted as valid, notwithstanding any statute of limitations or other law to the contrary.
Furthermore, is is expressly agreed that all arbitration shall be held in English, the location of the arbitration to be agreed between the parties, failing which it shall be held in New York, New York, USA.
*For non-US based customers, any Claims arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be determined by arbitration administered by the international division of the AAA, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) in accordance with its International Expedited Procedures, the arbitration to be held in English, the location of the arbitration to be agreed between the parties, failing which it shall be held in New York, New York, USA.
These Terms, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with Sortd in connection with the Service, will constitute the entire agreement between you and Sortd concerning the Service. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
No waiver of any sections of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Sortd’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
We may provide notifications, whether these are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by us in our sole discretion.
If you have any questions about this Terms and Conditions, please contact us at terms@sortd.com.
