1who we are, and what this is
plain-language summary: this is the deal between you and us. using HERE and more means you accept it.
These terms of service (the “terms”) are a binding agreement between you and the operator of HERE and more, operated from Prague, Czech Republic (“HERE and more”, “we”, “us”, “our”). They govern your access to and use of hereandmore.com, the HERE and more desktop and mobile applications, igni, the JEM identity, downloads, and every feature, room, app surface, or connected domain we make available (together, the “service”).
By visiting the service, creating a key, or using any part of it, you accept these terms and the privacy policy, which is incorporated into them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
2what the service is
plain-language summary: one door to your room, your people, your apps, and igni. it is young software, and it will keep changing.
The service is a portal: a personal room, a network of people, an app surface, an identity called JEM, and igni — a machine intelligence that listens and acts within the service. The service is under continuous construction. Features may appear, change, break, or be withdrawn at any time, with or without notice. We may set, change, or enforce limits, quotas, and availability windows at our discretion. Nothing in the service is promised to remain, and no description of the service is a warranty.
3eligibility and your key
plain-language summary: be old enough, keep the devices that hold your key safe, and tell us fast if something looks wrong.
You may use the service only if you are at least 15 years old — or older, where the law of your home requires a higher age — and are legally able to enter into this agreement.
Entry uses passkeys: cryptographic keys stored on your devices and unlocked by your face, fingerprint, or device code. You are responsible for the devices that hold your keys, for keeping them secure, and for everything done through your entry. If you believe your entry has been compromised, tell us immediately at lnk@gradientrising.com. We may refuse, suspend, or reclaim any account, name, or identifier at our reasonable discretion.
4igni and machine-generated content
plain-language summary: igni is a machine mind. it tries to be right; it can be wrong. check anything that matters before acting on it.
igni and other parts of the service generate content using artificial intelligence. Machine-generated content can be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or inappropriate, and can present false things with confidence. All such content is provided for information only. It is not professional advice of any kind — not medical, legal, financial, tax, safety, or other advice — and no professional–client relationship is created by using the service.
You are solely responsible for evaluating machine-generated content before relying on it, and for every decision you make and action you take. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we accept no responsibility or liability for machine-generated content or for anything done in reliance on it.
5your content
plain-language summary: what you bring stays yours. you give us the permissions needed to store and move it so the service can work. keep your own copies.
You keep every right you hold in the content you bring into the service — messages, files, voice, images, and everything else (“your content”). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, transmit, and display your content solely as needed to operate, secure, and improve the service, including showing it to the people and apps you choose to share it with. This licence ends when your content is deleted from the service, except for lawful backups kept for a limited time.
You promise that you have the rights needed to bring your content, and that it does not break the law or the rights of others. We may remove or refuse any content at our discretion. We have no obligation to store, keep, or return content — keep independent copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.
6conduct
plain-language summary: no harm, no break-ins, no pretending to be someone else, nothing unlawful.
You agree that you will not:
- use the service for anything unlawful, or in breach of these terms;
- probe, scan, overload, disrupt, or interfere with the service, its security, or its infrastructure;
- access accounts, data, or systems without authorisation, or attempt to;
- scrape, bulk-harvest, or systematically extract data from the service;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any non-open part of the service, except where the law grants that right;
- impersonate any person, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
- upload malicious code, or content that infringes intellectual property or privacy rights;
- harass, exploit, endanger, or harm others — above all minors;
- resell, rent, or commercially redistribute the service without our written consent.
We may investigate suspected violations and take any lawful action we consider appropriate, including removing content, suspending or ending access, and informing authorities.
7memberships, kredits, and payment
plain-language summary: some things cost money. kredits are sparks inside the service — not money in the world.
Parts of the service may require payment or membership. Prices, what is included, and billing terms are shown where they are offered.
Kredits and similar in-service units are a limited, revocable, non-transferable feature of the service. They are not money, deposits, e-money, or property; they hold no cash value; they cannot be exchanged for cash; and they may be adjusted, expired, or discontinued at any time to the extent permitted by law.
Except where the law requires otherwise or we expressly state otherwise, payments are non-refundable. If you are a consumer in the European Union, your statutory rights — including withdrawal rights where they apply — are not affected; where digital content is delivered immediately with your express consent and acknowledgment, the right of withdrawal may be lost as the law provides.
8third-party and member-built things
plain-language summary: doors inside the portal can lead to things other people built. those are theirs, not ours.
The service surfaces apps, links, content, and services created by third parties or by other members. These remain the sole responsibility of whoever made them. We do not endorse them, do not warrant them, and — to the maximum extent permitted by law — accept no liability for them. Your dealings with third parties and other members are between you and them, and their own terms and privacy practices govern their services.
9what is ours
plain-language summary: the service itself — its code, look, names, and marks — belongs to us. you get a personal licence to use it.
The service — including its software, design, text, graphics, glyphs, names, marks, and their arrangement — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the service as its interfaces intend. No other rights are granted, by implication or otherwise. Open-source components included in the service remain governed by their own licences.
10privacy
plain-language summary: how we treat your data has its own page. read it.
Our privacy policy explains what we collect, why, where it lives, and the rights you hold. It forms part of this agreement.
11availability, early software, and change
plain-language summary: it may go down. it may lose things. keep copies of what you can't lose.
The service is provided as an evolving, early-stage system. We do not promise availability, continuity, performance, or the preservation of any data. Maintenance, migrations, outages, experiments, and mistakes happen — sometimes unannounced. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part or all of the service at any time. You accept these characteristics of early software by using the service, and you are responsible for keeping independent copies of anything important to you.
12no warranties
plain-language summary: the service comes as it is, with no promises.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE AND EVERYTHING PROVIDED THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, AND REPRESENTATIONS — EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY — INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ANY CONTENT — INCLUDING MACHINE-GENERATED CONTENT — IS ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HERE.
13limitation of liability
plain-language summary: to the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages arising from the service — and where liability cannot be excluded, it is capped.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) WE — TOGETHER WITH OUR OPERATOR, AFFILIATES, CONTRIBUTORS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS — SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, NOR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY, NOR FOR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; (B) YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK OF USING AN EVOLVING SERVICE AND OF ACTING ON MACHINE-GENERATED CONTENT; (C) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR FIFTY EUROS (€50); AND (D) WHERE PERMITTED, ANY CLAIM MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN TWELVE MONTHS OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO IT.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited — including liability for intentional wrongdoing, for gross negligence where such limits are not permitted, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is not permitted — and nothing in these terms affects consumer rights that cannot be waived by contract.
14your responsibility to us
plain-language summary: if what you do here causes us to be pursued by someone else, you carry it.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HERE and more, its operator, affiliates, and contributors from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your use of the service, or your breach of these terms or of the law. This section does not apply to consumers where, and to the extent, such obligations are not permitted.
15leaving, suspension, and ending
plain-language summary: you can leave at any time. we can suspend or close entries for cause immediately, or otherwise with notice.
You may stop using the service at any time and may ask us to close your entry. We may suspend or terminate your access — with immediate effect where there is breach, risk, or legal necessity, and otherwise at our discretion with reasonable notice where the law requires it. Upon termination your licences end. Sections which by their nature should survive — including sections 4, 5 (for the wind-down of stored content), 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 — survive.
16changes to these terms
plain-language summary: the terms will evolve with the service. this page carries the current date; material changes get a heads-up.
We may update these terms as the service evolves. The effective date at the top of this page always shows the current version. For material changes we will give notice within the service, or by other reasonable means, before they take effect where the law requires it. If you keep using the service after a change takes effect, you accept the change. If you do not agree, stop using the service.
17law and disputes
plain-language summary: czech law, prague courts — unless mandatory law where you live gives you more.
These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the service, are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, excluding its conflict-of-law provisions and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The courts of Prague, Czech Republic have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory law grants you, as a consumer, a different forum or additional protections — those remain yours.
If you are a consumer in the Czech Republic, you may also turn to the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Česká obchodní inspekce, coi.cz) for out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes.
18final provisions
plain-language summary: the standard machinery — severability, no waiver, the whole deal, and how to reach us.
These terms — together with the privacy policy and any additional terms shown for specific features — are the entire agreement between you and us about the service, and replace all earlier understandings. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions stay in force. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this agreement without our consent; we may assign it in connection with operating, reorganising, or transferring the service. There are no third-party beneficiaries except as expressly stated.
