Terms of Service

1. Agreement

Creating an ordo Cloud account, signing in to ordo Cloud, or using the official app with ordo Cloud means you agree to these terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use ordo Cloud.

If you use ordo Cloud for an organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organization. “You” then includes the organization.

2. Who can use ordo Cloud

You must be at least 13. You must also be able to enter a contract where you live.

3. The service

ordo stores links, with folders, tags, reading, highlights, reminders, folder locks, and import or export as JSON, HTML, or CSV. The official app is the Android app on the ordo GitHub releases. The server also supports signing in from a web browser.

ordo Cloud is free. There is no paid plan. If Axolet later charges for a feature, the price and any payment terms will be shown before you are charged.

Axolet may change, suspend, or withdraw a feature for maintenance, security, abuse, a change in the law, or a failure of a system the service depends on. Axolet does not promise that extraction will be complete, that a reminder will be delivered, or that ordo Cloud will be available without interruption.

The official production app sends Axolet the install record described in the Privacy Policy, including when you use that app with a server you host. A development build does not send it.

4. Your account

Use an email address you control. ordo Cloud will not let you use the library until that address is verified. Keep your password and your multi-factor codes to yourself. You are responsible for activity under your account, except activity caused by Axolet’s failure to take reasonable care of the service.

You can review sessions and sign them out. You can turn on multi-factor authentication. On ordo Cloud it is optional. Do not open accounts by automated means that overload the service, and do not present yourself as someone else.

5. What you save

You keep your rights in the links, titles, folders, tags, highlights, and profile picture you submit. You give Axolet a non-exclusive license to host, copy, fetch, process, and display that material only as needed to provide, secure, and support the service you use. That license ends when the material is deleted from the live service, except for the logs and database snapshots described in the Privacy Policy, and except where the law requires a copy to be kept.

You are responsible for having the rights needed to save a link and to ask ordo to fetch it. Saving a page does not give you the copyright in that page.

You will not use ordo Cloud to:

• break the law, or infringe someone else’s intellectual-property, privacy, or contractual rights;
• store or distribute malware, or to exploit, harass, or defraud anyone;
• probe, disrupt, overload, or bypass a limit of ordo Cloud, or to reach a system you are not allowed to reach;
• make the server fetch a private, local, or link-local address;
• send automated traffic that places an unreasonable load on ordo Cloud or on someone else’s website; or
• resell access to ordo Cloud.

6. Other people’s websites

Pages you save are run by other people. Axolet hosts what you choose to save and does not review it first. Their content and their privacy practices are theirs. You decide which links to save and which pages to open.

7. A server you run

If you run ordo, you operate that server. You are responsible for who can use it, the notices you give them, TLS, updates, email delivery, monitoring, backups, and the law that applies to you. Axolet does not operate, monitor, or back up that server. Switching between ordo Cloud and another server signs you out. The library is not copied across.

The official app may still contact ordo Cloud for the install record, and GitHub or Expo for updates. Publishing the source code does not make Axolet responsible for your deployment or for changes you make to it.

8. Ending use

You may stop using ordo Cloud at any time and delete the account in the app. Deletion is described in the Privacy Policy.

Axolet may suspend or close access when that is reasonably necessary because of a material breach of these terms, a risk to people or to the service, or a legal duty. Where Axolet can reasonably do so, it will tell you and give you a chance to export. It may act first when the reason is security, abuse, or a legal duty.

The provisions that should survive the end of the service do survive. Those are the license for copies Axolet is still required to keep, the disclaimers, the limits on liability, and the general terms.

9. Warranties

ordo Cloud, the official app, and this website are provided as they are and as available. To the extent the law allows a disclaimer, Axolet disclaims the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Some laws do not allow that disclaimer. If you are a consumer, you keep every right those laws give you, including a right that a contract cannot waive.

10. Liability

These terms do not limit liability for intent, gross negligence, fraud, or injury to life, body, or health, or any other liability that the law does not allow a contract to limit or exclude.

Where the law allows it, Axolet is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profit, or goodwill, arising out of ordo Cloud, the official app, or these terms.

Where the law allows a cap, Axolet’s total liability for claims about ordo Cloud is limited to the amount you paid Axolet for ordo Cloud during the twelve months before the claim. ordo Cloud is free, so that amount is zero unless a charge was actually collected.

If you are a consumer, an exclusion or a cap applies only as far as the law of your place of residence allows. Mandatory consumer rights remain in force.

11. Changes to these terms

Axolet may update these terms when ordo, the law, or the way the service is run changes. The date at the top will change. For a material change to an existing account, Axolet will give a further notice when it reasonably can. Continued use is acceptance where the law treats it that way. Where the law requires a clearer acceptance, Axolet will ask for it.

12. General

If a provision cannot be enforced, it is narrowed to the part that can be enforced, and the rest remains in effect. Waiting to enforce a term is not a waiver of it.

You may not assign these terms. Axolet may assign them together with a transfer of the service.

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement for ordo Cloud and this website. They do not replace the AGPL-3.0 for the source code.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. They do not choose a court. A consumer keeps the mandatory rights of the place where they live, including any right to sue there. Any other dispute is heard by a court that has jurisdiction, including a court in India with jurisdiction over Axolet.
