Terms of Service
Attorney review pending. These Terms are the working BoxedBots contract and are intended to be reviewed by counsel before public launch.
1. Agreement
These Terms govern your use of BoxedBots, including its website, marketplace, accounts, software listings, subscriptions, purchases, downloads, hosted access, requests, reviews and related services (the “Services”). By creating an account, purchasing, subscribing, downloading, accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
2. Accounts
You must provide accurate information, protect your credentials and promptly report unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity under your account unless caused by BoxedBots. We may require email verification, additional security checks or re-verification. You may not sell, transfer, impersonate, automate abuse of, or create accounts to evade restrictions.
3. Marketplace role and third-party software
BoxedBots is a marketplace and discovery platform. Unless a listing expressly says BoxedBots is the developer or licensor, software is supplied by an independent seller. Sellers are responsible for their software, listing claims, licenses, support commitments, security representations and legal rights to distribute their products. BoxedBots may test access, review listings, remove products and investigate complaints, but does not guarantee that third-party software will be uninterrupted, error-free or suitable for every purpose.
4. Purchases, licenses, subscriptions and taxes
A purchase normally grants the license or access described on the product page; it does not transfer ownership of the seller’s intellectual property. Subscription terms, renewal periods and prices must be disclosed before purchase. Applicable taxes and payment-provider charges may apply. BoxedBots may use third-party payment processors and does not require sellers to receive your full payment-card number.
5. Refunds and marketplace protection
The BoxedBots Refund & Marketplace Policy is incorporated into these Terms. Listing-specific promises may provide additional rights. Nothing in these Terms limits non-waivable rights under applicable law.
6. Acceptable use
You may not use BoxedBots to distribute malware, spyware, credential theft tools, unlawful content, infringing material, deceptive products, unauthorized copies, or software designed primarily to harm systems or people. You may not attack, scrape at abusive scale, reverse engineer security controls, interfere with service operation, or misuse another person’s account or data.
7. Intellectual property
BoxedBots and its branding, site design, software, databases and original content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Sellers retain rights in their products except for the limited rights they grant BoxedBots to host, display, market, test, distribute and support marketplace operations. Users retain ownership of content they submit but grant BoxedBots the rights reasonably necessary to operate, display, moderate and improve the Services.
8. Availability, changes and suspension
We may change, suspend or discontinue features, listings or accounts when reasonably necessary for security, law, fraud prevention, maintenance, seller misconduct or marketplace integrity. We may preserve access to previously purchased software when practical, but third-party products can become unavailable for reasons outside BoxedBots’ control.
9. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” BOXEDBOTS DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT EXCEPT WHERE SUCH DISCLAIMERS ARE PROHIBITED. BOXEDBOTS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT EVERY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR REMAIN AVAILABLE.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BOXEDBOTS AND ITS OWNERS, AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION ARISING FROM THE SERVICES. FOR CLAIMS NOT EXCLUDED BY LAW, BOXEDBOTS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO BOXEDBOTS DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
11. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend and indemnify BoxedBots from third-party claims arising from your unlawful misuse of the Services, your infringement of another party’s rights, or content you submit. This provision does not require a consumer to indemnify BoxedBots for BoxedBots’ own wrongful conduct.
12. Disputes; individual arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION. Except for eligible small-claims matters or claims seeking emergency injunctive relief concerning misuse of intellectual property or systems, disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration after a good-faith 30-day informal resolution period. No class, collective or representative arbitration is permitted to the extent enforceable by law. A U.S. consumer may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to BoxedBots within 30 days after first accepting these Terms. Arbitration will be administered under applicable AAA consumer rules unless the parties agree otherwise. BoxedBots will not require a consumer to pay arbitration fees greater than those required by applicable law or rules.
13. Governing law
Except where consumer law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by Michigan law without regard to conflict-of-law principles. For disputes that are not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to courts of competent jurisdiction in Michigan.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms prospectively. If a change materially affects existing users, we will provide reasonable notice and, when legally appropriate, request renewed acceptance. The version and acceptance date associated with an account may be retained as part of our records.
15. Contact
Legal notices and questions may be sent through the BoxedBots contact process or to a legal contact address published on boxedbots.com. Formal corporate and mailing information will be added before public launch.
