5. Events and third-party content

Users and event hosts are responsible for their own event listings and content. GrowthSync provides the platform but does not guarantee event quality, accuracy, or outcomes.

We may remove any content or events that breach our policies or legal standards.

Users are solely responsible for the content they create, post, or share. GrowthSync does not endorse or verify user-generated content.

By using the app, you consent to the collection and processing of your data as described there, including any optional third-party integrations you choose to connect.

The Platform includes AI-powered functionality (such as content assistance, matching insights, in-app guidance, and safety tooling) as further described in the Privacy Policy. By registering, you agreed to these Terms and the Privacy Policy, which together govern AI-related processing. There is no separate in-app setting to opt out of AI as a category of platform functionality.

7. Intellectual property

All GrowthSync branding, software, and design are the property of GrowthSync Network Ltd.

You may not copy, modify, or redistribute any part of the Platform without written permission.

You retain ownership of the content you post, but grant us a non-exclusive licence to display and distribute it within the app.

8. Termination

We may suspend or permanently disable your account if you breach these Terms, misuse the Platform, or engage in unlawful activity.

You may delete your account at any time by contacting support or using in-app settings. For detailed instructions on how to delete your account and what data will be removed, please see our Account Deletion page. If you wish to delete only specific data (such as messages, posts, connections, or profile information) without deleting your entire account, you can do so directly in the app. See our Data Deletion page for instructions.

9. Limitation of liability

GrowthSync is provided "as is" and "as available."

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.

To the extent permitted by law, GrowthSync Network Ltd is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
