Knak. Inc. ("Knak.") operates a SaaS service for creating email and landing pages ("Service") which Knak charges a fee for, as well as a Service which we make available free of charge. These Terms of Service (the "Terms") cover the Service we make available free of charge. In return for the use of the Service You (the "Customer", "You", or "Your") agree to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. If You use it, please use it responsibly. If You don't, we'll have to terminate Your account.
You own the business data that you provide to Knak and You're responsible for keeping it safe.
These Terms can change at any time. Please come back and reread these Terms from time to time. You are bound by all changes. We'll try to warn you about major changes to the Terms, but we make no guarantees.
That's the basic idea, but you must read through the entire Terms and agree with all the details before you use the Services (whether or not You have created an account).
Your use of the Knak Service is governed by these Terms.
In order to use the Service, You must first agree to the Terms. You understand and agree that Knak will treat Your use of the Service as acceptance of the Terms from that point onwards whether or not You sign a copy of these Terms.
As previously mentioned Knak may make changes to the Terms from time to time. You may reject the changes by terminating Your account. You understand and agree that if You use the Service after the date on which the Terms have changed, Knak will treat Your use as acceptance of the updated Terms.
If you have any question about the Terms, please contact us at support@knak.com.
