Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the StepBob website, waitlist, and related services (the "Service") operated by StepBob ("StepBob", "we", "us", "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The service

StepBob is currently pre-launch. The Service consists of the marketing website, a waitlist, and email communications about the product. We may add, change, or remove features at any time, and we may offer previews or betas that can be modified or withdrawn without notice.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country of residence if that is higher, to use the Service. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has consented to these Terms. The Service is not directed to children below the applicable age of digital consent, and never below 13.

4. Your account and information

When you join the waitlist you agree to provide a real, working email address and to keep it current. You are responsible for the activity that happens through your email address. Let us know promptly at legal@stepbob.com if you believe your information has been misused.

5. The waitlist

Joining the waitlist does not guarantee early access, an invitation, or any particular launch date. We may reorder, limit, or close the waitlist at our discretion, and we may update you by email about the launch.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or misleading purpose;
• Submit false information, spam other people, or sign up other people without their permission;
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, bypass security measures, or attempt to gain unauthorized access;
• Scrape, crawl, or collect information from the Service by automated means without our written consent;
• Impersonate StepBob, its staff, or anyone else, or misrepresent your affiliation with us.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, logo, and the StepBob name and marks, belongs to StepBob or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Service for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service without permission. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

8. Your content

You keep ownership of anything you send us (such as messages or feedback). You grant us a limited license to use it as needed to respond to you and operate the Service.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that joining the waitlist will result in access to the product. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot be excluded under the law of your country.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, StepBob will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or 100 US dollars. This limitation does not apply where it is prohibited, including for fraud, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or under mandatory consumer protections.

11. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify StepBob against claims, damages, and costs arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service. This does not apply to consumers acting for personal purposes where such a clause is not enforceable under their local law.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnity) will survive.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a formal claim, please contact legal@stepbob.com so we can try to resolve the issue informally within 30 days. Where you are a consumer, the mandatory laws of your country of residence still apply, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under mandatory consumer law.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest revision. For material changes we will notify you on the site or by email. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
