Welcome to Kewrate. By accessing or using our social shopping platform ('Service'), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ('Terms'). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Service.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Kewrate. We may update these Terms from time to time, and your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Kewrate. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the Service.
By using Kewrate, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.
Account Registration and Security
To use certain features of Kewrate, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update your information as necessary.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
You may not use another person's account without permission, and you may not create an account using false or misleading information.
Acceptable Use
You agree to use Kewrate only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree NOT to:
Prohibited Content
Upload, post, or share content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise objectionable. This includes content that infringes on intellectual property rights or violates privacy rights.
Prohibited Activities
Use the Service to engage in fraudulent activities, impersonate others, spam users, distribute malware or viruses, attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, or interfere with the proper functioning of the Service.
Commercial Use Restrictions
Use Kewrate for unauthorized commercial purposes, including selling access to the Service, using automated systems to scrape data, or using the Service to promote competing services without our permission.
User Content
Kewrate allows you to create and share content, including wishlists, profile information, and messages ('User Content'). You retain ownership of your User Content, but you grant Kewrate a license to use, display, and distribute your User Content as necessary to provide the Service.
You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting or sharing it. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms or any applicable laws.
We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms or that we deem inappropriate, without prior notice.
Wishlists and Gift Claims
Kewrate provides tools for creating wishlists and claiming gifts. When you claim a gift on someone's wishlist, you are indicating your intention to purchase that gift. Claims are not legally binding contracts, but we expect users to honor their claims in good faith.
You understand that Kewrate does not facilitate actual purchases or payments between users. We simply provide coordination tools. All purchases are made directly with retailers, and Kewrate is not responsible for the fulfillment, quality, or delivery of gifts.
You may unclaim a gift if your circumstances change, but we encourage you to do so promptly to allow others to claim it.
Group Gift Coordination
Kewrate allows users to coordinate group gifts by pooling contributions. When you participate in a group gift, you agree to contribute the amount you commit to.
Kewrate does not process payments or hold funds for group gifts. Users are responsible for arranging payment among themselves. We provide coordination tools only.
We are not responsible for disputes arising from group gift arrangements, including non-payment by participants or disagreements about gift selection.
Affiliate Relationships and Commissions
Kewrate participates in affiliate marketing programs with various retailers, including Amazon Associates, ShareASale, and CJ Affiliate. When you click on product links in wishlists and make purchases, we may earn a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.
These affiliate commissions help us keep Kewrate free for users and support ongoing development and improvement of the platform.
We do not allow affiliate relationships to influence which products are displayed or recommended. Product links in wishlists are added by users, not by Kewrate.
By using Kewrate, you acknowledge and agree that we may earn commissions from your purchases through affiliate links. For more information, please see our Affiliate Disclosure page.
Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using Kewrate, you agree to our Privacy Policy.
You control who can see your wishlists and personal information through privacy settings. However, information you choose to share with friends and family will be visible to them.
