Terms & Conditions

Agreeing to these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and [Legal entity name] (“Verse”, “we”, “us”). By creating an event, or by leaving a contribution, you agree to them.

If you use Verse for a business or organisation, you confirm you’re allowed to agree on its behalf. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information and forms part of these terms.

What Verse is

Verse lets a host create an event, invite people to contribute messages and photos through a short conversation, show them on a Live Wall, and turn them into a keepsake: a PDF, a flipbook or a printed book.

Verse is in early access. Features may change, be added or be retired as we learn. We’ll tell hosts before removing anything they rely on.

Host accounts

• —You must be 18 or older to create an account.
• —Use an email address you control, and keep your sign-in to yourself.
• —You’re responsible for what happens in your account, including anything teammates you invite do.
• —Tell us straight away if you think someone else has got in.

Leaving a verse

You don’t need an account to contribute. When you do, you agree that:

• —What you write is your own, and you’re responsible for it.
• —You only share photos you have the right to share, of people who’d be happy to be in them.
• —The host will see your contribution and may show it on the Live Wall and include it in their keepsake.

You can edit anything before you send it. Afterwards, ask the host to change or remove it, or write to us and we’ll help.

Who owns what

That permission is non-exclusive, free, and worldwide. It lasts as long as needed to run the event and produce the keepsake. We never use contributions to advertise Verse without asking you first.

A keepsake that has been printed or downloaded belongs to whoever has it. Deleting an event doesn’t recall those copies.

What hosts agree to

Hosts are the ones inviting people to share, so they take on a little more:

• —Let guests know what Verse is for and that their words may be shown and printed.
• —Have the right to collect contributions, including a parent or guardian’s permission for any child.
• —Respect a contributor’s request to change or remove what they wrote.
• —Decide what appears on the Live Wall and in the keepsake. Verse suggests, but the call is yours.
• —Don’t ask guests for sensitive information, like health or financial details, that the event doesn’t need.

Acceptable use

Moderation and removal

Automated checks flag likely spam and harmful content for the host to review. Separately, we may remove content, pause an event or suspend an account that breaks these terms or the law.

When we can, we’ll tell you what we did and why. If you think we got it wrong, write to hello@joinverse.live and a person will look again.

Early access, pricing and payment

During early access

Verse is free. Some limits may apply, and we’ll show them in your Studio.

Before we charge

At least 30 days’ notice by email. Nothing is charged without your agreement.

Founding hosts

Keep the founding rate described when they joined.

Paid plans

Billed in advance, plus any tax that applies.

Refunds

Not given for part-used periods, except where the law says otherwise.

Printed keepsakes

• —You’ll see a full preview before ordering. We print exactly what you approve.
• —Delivery times are estimates. We’ll keep you updated if anything slips.
• —If a book arrives damaged or with a printing fault, send us a photo within 14 days and we’ll reprint it or refund you.
• —We can’t reprint for free because of a spelling or content choice in a preview you approved.

Verse’s own work

The Verse software, name, logo, page designs and keepsake templates belong to us. You may use them to run your events and make your keepsakes, but not to build a competing product. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely, with thanks.

Leaving Verse

You can delete an event or close your account at any time from your Studio.

We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms. Unless the content is unlawful, you’ll have 30 days to export your events and keepsakes first.

Disclaimers

We work hard to keep Verse running smoothly on the day that matters, but we can’t promise it will never be interrupted. Verse is provided “as is”, and we’re not responsible for what contributors choose to write.

Limits of liability

As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or unforeseeable losses, such as lost profits or lost opportunities. Our total liability to you is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the previous 12 months or [fixed amount].

Nothing here limits liability that the law doesn’t allow us to limit, or your rights as a consumer.

Indemnity

If someone makes a claim against us because you broke these terms or the law while using Verse, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of [Federal Republic of Nigeria], and disputes go to the courts of [Lagos State]. If you’re a consumer, you also keep any protections the law where you live gives you.

Before going to court, please write to us. Most things can be sorted out with a conversation.

Changes to these terms

We’ll post updates here and change the date at the top. For changes that matter, we’ll email hosts at least 14 days ahead. If you keep using Verse after that, you’re agreeing to the new terms.
