Terms of Service

Effective Date: [INSERT EFFECTIVE DATE]
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the virtual card, profile hosting, QR code, downloadable vCard, account tools, and related subscription services offered by Alternative-Route.com and/or Alternative Skincare and Wellness for the vCard service (collectively, the “Service”).

Important: By creating an account, subscribing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and our subscription/billing disclosures. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility and Acceptance

You represent that you are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that business or organization to these Terms.

Your use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any subscription disclosures presented to you at signup or checkout.

2. Description of the Service

The Service allows users to create, host, manage, and share a digital profile that may include account information, contact information, a hosted public profile page, a QR code, a downloadable vCard file, profile photo storage, and related account-management tools.

Features may be added, modified, suspended, or removed at any time. Some features may depend on third-party systems, browser compatibility, device support, email delivery, file import support, payment processing, or other services outside our direct control.

3. Accounts and Credentials

You are responsible for providing accurate account information and keeping it up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs through your account.

You agree to notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access, account compromise, or misuse of your account.

4. Subscription and Billing

The Service is offered on a recurring subscription basis unless expressly stated otherwise. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges through PayPal using the plan, amount, and billing interval disclosed at signup or checkout.

Your subscription will continue and automatically renew until cancelled. Charges are processed by PayPal, not directly by us. You are responsible for maintaining a valid payment method and resolving any payment issues with PayPal or your payment source, as applicable.

We may change pricing for future billing periods by providing advance notice where required. Any price change will apply prospectively and not retroactively.

Recurring Billing Disclosure

Your paid subscription continues until you cancel. If you cancel, your access remains active through the end of your then-current paid billing period unless otherwise stated. After that period ends, your subscription access ends and your account may be scheduled for deletion as described below.

5. Cancellation and End of Service

You may cancel your subscription through your account tools, through any cancellation method we make available, or through PayPal where applicable. Cancellation stops future renewal billing, but does not typically refund amounts already paid for the current billing cycle unless required by law or expressly stated by us.

If you cancel, your account and public profile may remain active only through the end of your current paid period. Once that paid period ends, your account may be deactivated, removed from public view, and permanently deleted, including your hosted profile, profile data, QR code, vCard file, and stored profile photo.

If you request deletion of your account, or if your account is scheduled for deletion following cancellation, you understand and agree that deleted content may not be recoverable.

6. User Content and Profile Data

You retain responsibility for the information, text, names, photos, links, and other content you submit to the Service. You represent that you have the right to use and publish all such content and that it does not violate any law or infringe any third-party right.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, display, transmit, and use your submitted content solely as necessary to operate, maintain, and improve the Service.

7. Acceptable Use

  • You may not use the Service for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, defamatory, infringing, or misleading purposes.
  • You may not upload malicious code, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with platform security, or misuse the Service in a way that harms us, other users, or third parties.
  • You may not use the Service to impersonate another person or entity or publish false affiliation or identity information.
  • You may not use the Service in a way that violates privacy, publicity, intellectual property, consumer protection, spam, or communications laws.

8. Availability and Changes

We aim to keep the Service available and functioning, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, continuous uptime, or error-free performance. The Service may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance, upgrades, software changes, hosting issues, internet outages, email delays, third-party failures, or events beyond our control.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, or restrict all or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, including when necessary for security, legal compliance, maintenance, abuse prevention, or business reasons.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service may rely on third-party providers, including but not limited to payment processors, email delivery systems, hosting providers, QR or file-generation tools, operating systems, device manufacturers, browsers, and contact-import functionality on user devices.

We are not responsible for outages, delays, restrictions, errors, policy changes, or compatibility issues caused by third-party systems. For example, a phone, mail client, browser, or contact application may not import, display, or interpret vCard data as expected due to software limitations, updates, device behavior, or vendor changes.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

We do not guarantee that any vCard, QR code, profile page, photo, link, email, import, or export will function on every device, operating system, application, browser, mail client, contact manager, or future software version.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our owners, operators, affiliates, licensors, service providers, and representatives from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

13. Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service at any time if we believe you violated these Terms, created risk or liability, used the Service inappropriately, failed to maintain an eligible subscription, or if discontinuation is necessary for security, legal, technical, or business reasons.

We may also terminate or discontinue the Service as a whole. If the Service is permanently discontinued, we may cancel subscriptions through the payment platform where applicable and remove hosted user profiles and related data according to our retention and deletion practices.

14. Governing Law; Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will become effective when posted or on the stated effective date. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, to the extent permitted by law.

This draft is structured to support clear recurring-subscription disclosure and cancellation language. California law requires automatic-renewal terms to be presented clearly and conspicuously and accepted before charging, including disclosure that the subscription continues until cancelled and an explanation of the cancellation policy. PayPal also provides users a way to cancel automatic payments from their PayPal account settings. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
