1. What these terms cover
These terms are an agreement between you and TNEP (SARL, SIREN 934828542, France) - "Marver", "we" - and they apply when you create a Marver account, accept an invitation to a canvas, or use a service we host. Full company details are on our legal notice.
They do not apply to the open source canvas. That software is a free software project by Nicolas Touron, licensed under the Apache License 2.0, and your rights to use, modify, self-host and redistribute it come from that licence alone - not from anything on this page. You never need an account to use Marver.
2. Your account
You need a valid email address and must be at least 16 years old. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping access to the mailbox it is tied to - that mailbox is how you sign in. Tell us promptly at hello@marver.design if you believe somebody else has gained access.
You can delete your account at any time. Deleting it removes your access to every canvas you were invited to.
3. Your content stays yours
Everything you make with Marver - frames, documents, designs, code, comments - is yours. We claim no ownership and no licence over it. The canvas runs on your machine, and your files stay in your repository.
Where you use a service we host, you grant us only the narrow, revocable permission needed to run it for you: storing and serving the content to the people you have given access to. Nothing more, and never for training, advertising or resale.
4. Invitations and acceptable use
Inviting somebody to a canvas causes us to send email to an address you supplied. That is a serious responsibility, so by inviting people you confirm that you have a genuine working relationship with them and a legitimate reason to share the canvas.
You must not use Marver to:
- send bulk, unsolicited or marketing email through the invitation system;
- upload addresses you scraped, bought, or otherwise obtained without a working relationship;
- host or share unlawful content, malware, or material that infringes somebody else's rights;
- impersonate another person or organisation, or misrepresent your connection to one;
- attack, probe or overload the service, or work around its rate limits, quotas or access controls.
We rate limit invitations, and we may suspend an account that abuses them. Email deliverability is a shared resource, and protecting it protects every other user.
5. If you publish a canvas
When you publish a canvas and invite people to it, you decide who may open it and what they see. You are responsible for that content and for the personal data of the people you invite - for that canvas, you are the data controller and we are not.
6. Availability and changes
We work to keep the service running, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error free, and we give no service level guarantee for free accounts. We may change or discontinue features; if we discontinue something you rely on, we will tell account holders by email and give reasonable notice.
Because the canvas is open source and self-hostable, you always have somewhere to go: your work is files in your repository, and it keeps working with or without us. That is deliberate.
7. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, and we will explain why unless a law prevents us. Except in cases of serious abuse, we will give you a chance to put things right and to export what is yours first. You may stop using the service at any time.
8. Warranties and liability
The hosted services are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind to the extent the law allows. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or lost data. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred euros.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Consumers keep all mandatory rights under their local law.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by French law, and disputes fall to the competent courts of France - except that consumers may always bring proceedings in, and rely on the mandatory law of, their own country of residence.
10. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms materially, we will email account holders before the change takes effect and update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new version. Questions go to hello@marver.design.
