Legal notice and terms of use

These terms of use (the "Terms") govern access to and use of the service (the "Service") operated by DropYourStartup. By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms.

1. Company information

In compliance with article 10 of Spanish Law 34/2002 of 11 July on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI-CE), the following information is provided: the owner of this website is [OWNER NAME / COMPANY NAME], tax ID [TAX ID], with registered address at [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. You can contact the owner through our contact form.

2. The Service

DropYourStartup is a directory, in English and Spanish, where users publish and browse listings of startups and SaaS products, including those for sale. DropYourStartup connects those who publish with those who browse, but does not act as a party, intermediary or advisor in negotiations or transactions between users. Revenue, traffic, MRR and other metrics shown in listings are declared by the user who publishes them and are not verified by DropYourStartup unless expressly stated otherwise.

3. Your account

• You must provide accurate information when signing up and keep your credentials confidential.
• You are responsible for all activity carried out under your account.
• You must have the legal capacity to accept these Terms and be at least the minimum age required by applicable law.

4. User-published content

The content you provide (names, descriptions, logos, images and data about your startups) remains the property of its owner. By publishing it, you grant DropYourStartup a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host and display it within the Service and in its promotion. You warrant that you hold the necessary rights and that the content does not infringe third-party rights or the law. DropYourStartup may remove any listing that breaches these Terms or the law.

• Accepted languages: only startups, SaaS, apps or other projects written in English or Spanish may be published. Content written in any other language may be deleted, blocked or modified.
• Content review: everything you upload (text, images, logos, links and data) may be reviewed by DropYourStartup, which reserves the right to delete, block or modify it, in whole or in part, when it does not comply with these Terms or the law, without prior notice.
• Mandatory acceptance: to publish a startup, SaaS, app or any other project you must expressly accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Without that acceptance it cannot be published.

5. Plans and billing

• The free plan lets you publish listings at no cost.
• Paid plans (Boost, by the day, and Pro, a monthly subscription) are purchased and billed through Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date.
• Payments are non-refundable unless the law requires otherwise.
• We may change prices for future billing periods with reasonable prior notice.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Publish false, misleading or unlawful content, or content that infringes third-party rights.
• Send spam or distribute malware.
• Attempt unauthorised access to any account, system or network, or to parts of the Service not intended for the public.
• Extract data in bulk by automated means (scraping), reverse engineer, resell the Service or use it to build a competing product.
• Break any applicable law.

7. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close an account that breaches these Terms, poses a security risk or shows signs of being compromised, with prior notice where possible. Closing an account starts the data deletion process described in the Privacy policy. You can delete your account at any time from its settings.

8. Availability and support

We aim for high availability, but we do not guarantee that the Service will run uninterrupted or error-free. We provide support on a best-effort basis, with priority for users on a paid plan.

9. Intellectual and industrial property

The Service's own content (design, brand, code and text created by DropYourStartup) belongs to its owner and may not be reproduced without permission.

10. Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the fullest extent permitted by law, DropYourStartup will not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from the use of the Service, or for relationships or transactions between users.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be communicated to active users before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the changes take effect means you accept them.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Spanish law. Any dispute arising from access to or use of the Service shall be submitted to the courts of [CITY], unless consumer protection law provides for a different venue.
