Summary Of Our Terms

​These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form an integral part of the User Agreement, constituting a legally binding contract that governs your use of our platform. While it’s essential to read these Terms in their entirety, here are key highlights for your quick understanding:​

You must comply with this User Agreement, its incorporated policies, and all applicable laws.​

‍You are required to adhere to the acceptable use terms of the Services: Access to the Services should only occur through the presently available and officially provided interfaces. This explicitly prohibits actions such as scraping the Services, attempting to circumvent imposed technical limitations, or engaging in activities that may disrupt the normal operation of the Services.​

The Services are subject to change, and we reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the Services or specific features for you or other users at any time.​

‍You are entitled to remedies and redress mechanisms, but it’s important to note that our liability is limited: You have the right to terminate this agreement at any time by deactivating your account and ceasing use of the Services. Please be aware that we shall not be liable for specific types of damages as outlined in the agreement. Additionally, if you suspect that your Content has been copied in a manner constituting copyright infringement, the reporting process is elaborated in these Terms.​

Kindly note that these Terms encompass our Privacy Policy (https://touchline.tracker.co.uk/privacy) and additional terms relevant to your use of the Services and your Content. Please be aware that variations in these terms may occur based on your location.
