In these Terms:
8fs provides a branded file delivery platform. You upload files; we generate a Delivery Link you can share with Recipients. Files are stored on our infrastructure for a defined period and served to anyone who opens the link. Recipients do not need an account.
The Service is intended for professional and commercial use. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service at any time, with or without notice, provided that we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes in advance.
The Service is currently in an early-access phase. During this phase, some features may be incomplete, subject to change, or unavailable.
You must create an account to use the dashboard features of the Service. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information updated.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must notify us immediately at security@8fs.io if you suspect unauthorised access to your account. We are not liable for losses resulting from unauthorised use of your account.
You may create or join an Organisation within the Service. Administrators of an Organisation may invite additional members, assign roles, and manage Content on behalf of the Organisation. By accepting an invitation you agree to these Terms.
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. By registering, you represent that you meet this requirement.
The Service is offered under the following Plans, with limits as published on our pricing page at the time of purchase:
Features and limits for each Plan are as described at 8fs.io/#pricing at the time of your subscription. We reserve the right to change Plan features and pricing on reasonable notice.
Subscription fees are charged in advance on a monthly or annual basis depending on your selection. All fees are stated exclusive of applicable taxes. You authorise us to charge your payment method on each billing cycle. If payment fails, we may suspend your access until the outstanding balance is paid.
Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. If you cancel your subscription, you retain access to paid features until the end of the current billing period, after which your account reverts to a free or limited tier.
We may offer a free trial period. At the end of the trial, your account will revert to the free tier unless you subscribe to a paid Plan. Files uploaded during a trial are subject to the same retention rules as paid Plans during the trial period; on expiry of the trial, active links and files may be subject to the free-tier limits.
Users who joined the founding list before the commercial launch may be entitled to promotional pricing as communicated to them at the time of the offer. Promotional pricing is personal, non-transferable, and subject to continued compliance with these Terms.

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, and trademarks, is owned by or licensed to 8fs and is protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in the Service other than as necessary to use it in accordance with these Terms.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL 8FS OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (USD 100).
These limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless 8fs and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, 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 rights and privacy rights.

We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if: (a) you violate these Terms; (b) we are required to do so by law or court order; (c) we reasonably believe termination is necessary to protect our systems, other users, or third parties; or (d) we discontinue the Service.
On termination, your right to access the Service ceases immediately. We will delete or render inaccessible all of your Content within a reasonable time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 6 (Content), 7 (Intellectual Property), 10 (Warranties), 11 (Limitation of Liability), 12 (Indemnification), and 14 (General).
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including disputes about their existence, validity, or termination, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales sitting in London. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and 8fs with respect to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Service.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.
You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, without your consent.
We are not liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including internet outages, infrastructure failures, acts of God, or governmental actions.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice in the dashboard at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
