Pleez Terms of Service

Welcome to Pleez. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Pleez’s websites and services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. The Service

Pleez is a consumer wishlist and gift coordination platform. Users can create and share wishlists, discover friends, import contacts, and save product information from third‑party sites. Some features use third‑party services (e.g., authentication, address‑book import, anti‑spam, storage, email delivery, and affiliate programs).

2. Your Account

  • You must provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account.
  • You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, if you are under the age at which you can legally consent to data processing (typically 16), you must have parental permission.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Violate any applicable law or infringe others’ rights.
  • Upload, post, or share content that is unlawful, harmful, deceptive, defamatory, obscene, or infringing.
  • Access or search the Service by any means other than our publicly supported interfaces, or attempt to bypass rate limits or security controls.
  • Decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive source code or underlying ideas except to the extent permitted by law.
  • Use the Service to send spam, solicitations, or for any high‑risk activity.

4. Your Content

  • You retain your rights to content you submit (e.g., wishlist items, notes, images, and links).
  • You grant Pleez a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, publish, display, and distribute your content solely to operate and improve the Service and as you direct (e.g., when you share a wishlist or short link).
  • You represent that you have the rights to submit any content or links you provide, and that sharing or fetching product information from third‑party sites complies with their terms and applicable law.

5. Third‑Party Content and Scraping

At your request, Pleez may fetch and cache product metadata and images from third‑party websites and store them in cloud storage. That content remains the property of its respective owners. Pleez does not control or guarantee third‑party content and disclaims responsibility for its accuracy or availability. If you are a rights holder and believe content should be removed, please contact us (see “Notices” below).

6. Software License

Subject to these Terms, Pleez grants you a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for personal, non‑commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

7. Third‑Party Services

Some features rely on third‑party services, including but not limited to:

  • Authentication and social login (e.g., OmniAuth providers).
  • Address‑book imports (Omnicontacts) for friend discovery and invitations.
  • Security/anti‑abuse (Google reCAPTCHA).
  • Cloud storage (AWS S3) for user and fetched images.
  • Email delivery (Mailgun).
  • Affiliate links (e.g., Amazon Associates).

Your use of those services may be subject to their terms and privacy policies. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. As an Amazon Associate, Pleez may earn from qualifying purchases.

8. Changes to the Service

We may add, change, or remove features and may suspend or discontinue the Service in whole or in part. We will try to provide advance notice where practicable.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if required by law. You may stop using the Service at any time. Certain provisions will survive termination (e.g., disclaimers, limitations of liability, governing law).

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pleez disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement. Pleez does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error‑free, or that content will be accurate or complete.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pleez and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your use of or inability to use the Service. In no event will Pleez’s aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to Pleez in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) CAD $100.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pleez and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.

13. Notices; Copyright Complaints

To contact us regarding these Terms or to submit a copyright complaint, email: sesau@sesau.ca. Upon proper notice, we will remove allegedly infringing content (including images cached on AWS S3) and may terminate repeat infringers.

14. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws principles. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in Alberta for any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated terms and update the “Last updated” date. If changes materially affect your rights, we will take reasonable steps to notify you.
