Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Mecca Digital LLC, a Texas limited liability company operating as NexusG8 ("NexusG8", "we", "us"), based in Dallas, Texas, USA, covering your use of nexusg8.com, nxsg8.com, our applications, QR and NFC entry points, wallet passes, and related services (the "Service"). On the Service, a person's own page is their "NexusG8" and an approved organisation's presence is its "Community NexusG8". The Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and, for approved communities, the Community Partner Terms are part of these Terms. By creating an account, scanning into a community, or otherwise using the Service, you accept them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind it, and "you" includes that organisation.

2. Who can use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of the United States or the country where you live, or if we have previously removed you.

3. Your account

You are responsible for your account and everything done through it. Keep your password private, use a sign-in method you control, and tell us immediately at support@nexusg8.com if you suspect unauthorised access. Give us accurate information and keep it current. One person, one account, unless we agree otherwise in writing. You may not transfer or sell your account.

4. Your NexusG8, addresses, and handles

4.1 Your NexusG8. Anyone eligible may create a personal NexusG8 page without approval. You control what it shows and to whom.

4.2 Addresses are assigned, not owned. Usernames, community handles, paths such as nexusg8.com/meet/name and nexusg8.com/join/name, and branded addresses such as name.nxsg8.com and nxsg8.com/name are assigned to you for use while your account is in good standing. NexusG8 owns the namespace. We reserve the standard form and the branded form of a handle for the same owner; two different accounts will never hold the two forms of one name.

4.3 Reclaiming an address. We may reclaim, rename, or refuse an address that impersonates a person or organisation, infringes a trademark, is a reserved or offensive word, has been unused for twelve months, or is associated with an account we have closed. Branded addresses are a paid feature: if the subscription ends, the branded address stops resolving but your standard address continues to work. We will give reasonable notice where it is practical to do so.

4.4 Community NexusG8s. Any eligible person may apply for a Community NexusG8 on behalf of an organisation they are authorised to represent. Community authority (approving members, running directories, sending broadcasts, and, where offered, participating in the profit share) is activated only after NexusG8 approves the application. Approval is at our discretion, is not an endorsement of the organisation, and may be suspended or withdrawn if the community breaches these Terms, the Community Guidelines, or the Community Partner Terms.

4.5 Membership. Joining a community requires that community's approval. Following, applying, being approved, and holding an administrative role are separate relationships. A community may remove you from its NexusG8; you may leave at any time.

5. Your content

5.1 You own it. You keep all rights in the text, images, links, answers, and other material you post ("Content").

5.2 Licence to us. So that we can run the Service, you grant NexusG8 a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, format, translate, publicly display, distribute, and otherwise use your Content: to operate, secure, and improve the Service; to show your Content according to your visibility settings; to power discovery, matching, routing, and community features; to produce analytics, reports, and aggregated or de-identified insights, including for Community Partners and sponsors; and to promote the Service using Content you have made public. This licence ends when you delete the Content or your account, except that it continues for copies in backups (until they roll over), for Content others have already shared under your settings, and for aggregated or de-identified data, which does not identify you and which we may keep and use indefinitely.

5.3 Your promises. You have the rights needed to post your Content; it does not infringe anyone's rights or break any law; and it is accurate where it describes you, your qualifications, your organisation, or an opportunity.

5.4 Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you.

5.5 Our removal rights. We may remove or restrict Content that we reasonably believe breaches these Terms, the Community Guidelines, or the law, or that creates risk for the Service or its members. We do not pre-screen Content and are not obliged to monitor it.

6. Acceptable use

The Community Guidelines set the standard for behaviour. In addition, you must not:

• access or collect data from the Service by scraping, crawling, bulk downloading, or automated means without our written permission;
• use the Service to send unsolicited messages, run schemes, or recruit for fraudulent opportunities;
• attempt to bypass rate limits, authentication, visibility settings, or any security measure;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service without permission, or interfere with its operation;
• reverse-engineer the Service except where the law allows it;
• impersonate NexusG8, its staff, or any person or organisation;
• use the Service to build a competing product using our data; or
• use the Service in a way that violates any law, including sanctions and export-control laws.

7. Paid plans

7.1 Plans and features. We offer free and paid plans. Features, limits, and prices are described on the pricing page at the time you buy. We may change free-plan features at any time, and paid-plan features with reasonable notice.

7.2 Billing. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc.; your card details go to Stripe and never to us. Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price until you cancel. You can cancel, change plan or update your card from your account's billing page; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period and you keep access until then. One-time purchases (such as the partner activation kit) are charged once.

7.3 Price changes. We will give at least 30 days' notice before a price change affects a renewal.

7.4 Refunds. Payments are non-refundable except where the law requires a refund or where we say otherwise in writing. If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you agree that the service starts immediately and acknowledge that your right of withdrawal is lost once the service has been fully performed.

7.5 Taxes. Prices exclude taxes unless stated; the merchant of record collects applicable taxes.

7.6 Promotional entitlements. Founding-member, pilot, or promotional access is granted at our discretion, may carry its own conditions, and may end when the promotion ends.

8. Revenue sharing with communities

Where NexusG8 offers a profit-share programme to approved Community Partners, its terms, calculations, reporting, and payment schedule are set out in the Community Partner Terms and any written partner agreement. Nothing in these Terms promises any community or person any revenue or profit. Allocation and attribution methods may change as the Service develops.

9. Physical products, QR codes, NFC, and wallet passes

Printed cards, NFC tags, and wallet passes are entry points to your NexusG8; they contain a link or token, not your data. Where we sell physical products, the terms shown at purchase apply. Lost or stolen entry points can be revoked from your account; you remain responsible for what is shared until you do so.

10. Third-party services and content

NexusG8 pages link to websites, social networks, payment tools, and events that we do not control. We are not responsible for them, and your dealings with them are between you and them. Opportunities, businesses, fundraisers, and offers posted by members or communities are not verified or endorsed by NexusG8 unless we say so expressly; do your own due diligence.

11. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, marks, and text that we created, belongs to NexusG8 or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive licence to use the Service as these Terms allow. "NexusG8", "CIaaS", "Community Infrastructure as a Service", "Radar", "Tap Into Your Community", and our logos are our marks; do not use them without permission. Parts of the Service are built on open-source software; the applicable licences are available on request.

Copyright complaints. If you believe Content infringes your copyright, send a notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to legal@nexusg8.com. We respond to valid notices, may remove the material, and may terminate repeat infringers.

12. Termination

You may close your account at any time by contacting support@nexusg8.com; we are building self-service deletion. We may suspend or terminate your access, or a Community NexusG8's authority, immediately if you breach these Terms or the Community Guidelines, create legal or security risk, or if we discontinue the Service (with reasonable notice where we can). On termination your licence to use the Service ends, and sections 5.2 (to the extent stated), 10, 11, 13–17 survive.

13. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that matches or introductions will lead to any result, or that any member, community, or opportunity is who or what it claims to be.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, NexusG8 and its officers, employees, partners, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or opportunities, arising from or related to the Service, even if advised of the possibility. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or USD 100. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits; in that case they apply to the extent permitted.

15. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify NexusG8 against claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your Content, your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of anyone's rights or the law.

16. Disputes

16.1 Talk to us first. Before starting any formal proceeding, email legal@nexusg8.com describing the dispute. We will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.

16.2 Arbitration. If we cannot, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Dallas, Texas, with hearings by video where possible. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small-claims court. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual-property infringement or unauthorised access.

16.3 No class actions. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim is severed to court and the rest of this section still applies.

16.4 Opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing legal@nexusg8.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and account email. If you opt out, disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts in Dallas County, Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

16.5 Governing law. Texas law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where the consumer-protection law of your home country applies mandatorily.

17. General

These Terms, with the documents they incorporate, are the whole agreement between you and NexusG8 about the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to a successor. Notices to you may be sent to your account email. Nothing here creates a partnership, employment, or agency relationship, including between NexusG8 and Community Partners.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version here with a new date, and for material changes we will notify you by email or in the Service at least 14 days before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after that, the new Terms apply. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and close your account before the effective date.
