No one under the age of 13, or local legal age to form a binding contract, is allowed to create an account or use the Services. In registering an account and using the Services, you state that:

• You can form a binding contract with Bignest Inc.
• You will comply with these Terms of Service and all applicable local, state, national and international laws, rules and regulations.

Ensuring that the Services complies with local law is solely the responsibility of the user. Bignest Inc. does not accept liability for any violations of such laws. This includes, but is not limited to copyright infringements, data privacy etc.

2. Use of Services

We are constantly innovating and introducing new ways for the user to experience and use the internet. To achieve this, however, we must take certain steps to ensure we are going in the correct direction, and that our work and efforts are not in vain. For that reason, you may not use the Services for other purposes than those which the Services are intended to without explicit written consent from Bignest Inc. That being said, we are eager to listen to any comment, suggestion or idea you might have, to make the Services even better. If you have an idea, get in touch: info@bignest.com.

Furthermore, you are not allowed to cache, store or in any other way take or commercially reuse results obtained from the Services. You are also not allowed to abuse, modify, adapt, hack or otherwise misuse the Services. It is forbidden to modify another website to falsely imply that it is associated with the Service, Bignest Inc, or any other Bignest associated service.

As a startup, unfortunately, we are only offering Bignest Inc. and its Services in English. We are hoping this will change as we grow and expand our audience. Bignest is all about accessibility and we hope to make our Services more accessible by supporting different languages.

You understand that Bignest Inc. uses third parties and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Services.

4. Rights you grant us

Many of our Services let you upload, store, receive, send and create content. When you do that, you retain whatever ownership rights in that content you had to begin with. But you grant us a licence to use and store that content. How broad that licence is depends on which Services you use.

Bignest incorporates third parties and their services to provide certain features on our platform, for these widgets, features, and or services (“Special Services”), you grant Bignest Inc. and our affiliates a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish and distribute that content. This licence is for the limited purpose of operating, developing, providing, promoting and improving the Services and researching and developing new ones. This means, among other things, that you will not be entitled to any compensation from Bignest Inc., our affiliates or our business partners if we use the content for expanding our Services, growing Bignest Inc., developing future features or our businesses.

Because Special Services hold sensitive information of the user, the licence you grant us for the content stored to those Special Services is much narrower. For Special Services you only grant us the rights to the extent necessary for us to store your content, and later serve it to you, at your request via Services. This request for your information in understood as accessing and using Special Services.
