These terms govern your use of the Ownear website and platform. By using either, you agree to them. If you use Ownear on behalf of a business, you agree on its behalf.
1. The service
Ownear provides software that helps businesses collect guest feedback, manage their online reputation and run loyalty programs. We are a technology provider only. We do not operate the businesses that use Ownear and are not responsible for their products, services, pricing or conduct toward their customers.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, and able to enter into a binding contract.
3. Accounts
Keep your login details confidential and your account information accurate. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at hello@ownear.com if you suspect unauthorised access.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use Ownear for anything unlawful, fraudulent or misleading;
- scrape, crawl or access the service by automated means we have not approved;
- copy, modify, reverse engineer or resell any part of the service;
- upload malware or interfere with the security or operation of the service;
- send spam or contact people without the consent the law requires.
5. Intellectual property
Ownear and its content, software and branding belong to Ownear or its licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service for your business while these terms are in effect. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you.
6. Your data
Your business keeps ownership of the data it puts into Ownear, including customer and feedback data. You are responsible for having the consent and legal basis needed to collect it and for how you use it. Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
7. Third-party services
Ownear may link to or integrate with third-party services such as review platforms. Their own terms apply, and we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.
8. Changes and availability
We may change, suspend or discontinue features at any time. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
9. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms or if required by law. You may stop using Ownear at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
10. Disclaimer
The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Ownear is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the six months before the claim arose.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify Ownear against third-party claims arising from your misuse of the service, your data or your breach of these terms.
13. Electronic communications
You agree to receive notices and communications from us electronically. We send commercial email in line with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), and you can unsubscribe at any time.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The version posted here applies, and we will give notice of material changes. Continuing to use Ownear after an update means you accept it.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction.
16. General
If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms, with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Ownear about the service.
