Terms of Service

Version 1.0 — Effective 16 March 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of MainDeck, a professional networking platform. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Who can use MainDeck

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. By registering, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. Accounts are personal and non-transferable.

2. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. If you believe your account has been compromised, notify us immediately. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Post content that is illegal, harassing, defamatory, or infringes third-party rights
  • Impersonate another person or organisation
  • Distribute spam, malware, or unsolicited commercial messages
  • Scrape or harvest data from the platform without permission
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the service or its infrastructure
  • Use the platform in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations

4. Your content

You retain ownership of content you post (posts, articles, comments, messages). By posting, you grant MainDeck a limited, non-exclusive licence to store, display, and distribute your content to other users as part of providing the service. This licence ends when you delete the content or close your account (subject to reasonable technical delays).

You are solely responsible for the content you post. Do not post content you do not have the right to share.

5. Content moderation

We may remove content that violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines, and we may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly violate them. We are not obligated to monitor all content but reserve the right to act on reported violations.

6. Intellectual property

The MainDeck platform, its design, and its underlying technology are owned by us and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, logos, or branding without prior written permission.

7. Third-party links

The platform may display links to external websites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or practices. Following an external link is at your own risk.

8. Service availability

We aim to provide a reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may perform maintenance, apply updates, or suspend the service for reasons outside our control. We will try to give advance notice of planned downtime where possible.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be limited by law (such as liability for fraud or personal injury caused by negligence).

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you by email at least 30 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of the service after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

11. Termination

You may pause your account at any time in Settings → Account → Pause account. A paused account is hidden from others but your data is retained; you can reactivate at any time. You may permanently delete your account in Settings → Account → Delete account. We may terminate or suspend your account if you breach these Terms, with or without notice depending on the severity of the breach.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the platform operator is registered. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless applicable consumer protection law in your country requires otherwise.
