Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Beezifi Docs, the cloud word processor operated by Beezifi Inc. ("Beezifi," "we," "us," or "our") (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you agree to these Terms for that organization and confirm you have authority to do so.
1. The Service
Beezifi Docs is a browser-based word processor for creating, editing, sharing and collaborating on documents. Its features include page layout, styles, tables, pictures, references and citations, comments, track changes, version history, mail merge, real-time co-editing, import and export of Word (.docx) and other file formats, and an automation API. We may add, change or remove features over time.
2. Accounts and Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to create an account. You must give accurate registration information and keep your password secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at support@beezifi.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
Your display name is shown to people you collaborate with, including on comments and tracked changes you make.
3. Plans and Fees
Beezifi Docs is currently offered free of charge. We may introduce paid plans in the future, for example for additional storage, administration or business features. If we do, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email and on the Service, and you will not be charged unless you choose a paid plan. Any paid plan will be governed by the pricing and billing terms shown when you sign up for it.
We may set reasonable limits on usage, such as document size or the rate of requests, to keep the Service reliable for everyone.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Create, store or share content that is unlawful, infringes anyone's intellectual property or privacy, or is fraudulent, defamatory or harassing
- Create forged or deceptive documents intended to mislead others
- Upload personal data of others, for example in mail-merge recipient lists, without a lawful basis to do so
- Send spam or unsolicited messages, including through sharing invitations
- Upload malware or content designed to harm devices, systems or other users
- Probe, scan, reverse-engineer or circumvent the security, access controls or usage limits of the Service
- Interfere with or overload the Service, or access it by automated means other than the documented API
We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules. Where we reasonably can, we'll notify you first.
5. Your Content
You keep full ownership of the documents, text, images, comments and other material you create or upload ("Your Content"). You grant Beezifi a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, copy, process, transmit and display Your Content only as needed to provide the Service to you and the people you choose to share with. This includes rendering, syncing, converting files and keeping version history.
We do not sell Your Content, use it for advertising, or use it to train machine-learning models. Where Your Content includes personal data, we process that data on your behalf as a data processor. You are responsible for having the rights to Your Content and for any personal data it contains.
6. Sharing and Collaboration
You decide who can access each document and whether they can view, comment or edit. As the owner, you can also restrict editing to comments only or make a document read-only for others. People you give access to can see the document's contents, its comments and tracked changes, its version history, and the names and live cursor positions of others working in it. Depending on their role, they can also copy, download or export it. We are not responsible for what people you share with do with the content.
When you are given access to someone else's document, that document remains theirs. The owner can change or remove your access at any time.
7. Automation API
The Service provides an API for reading and editing documents. API access uses your account's credentials and is limited to the documents you can access. Keep your tokens secret. You are responsible for all actions taken with them. We may change the API or limit its use to protect the Service.
8. File Formats
The Service imports and exports Word (.docx), HTML, Markdown, plain text and its own JSON format. Conversion between formats may not preserve every feature or layout detail. For example, multi-column sections, built-up equations and floating text boxes are simplified on import. Keep your original files until you have checked the result. PDF output is produced by your browser's print function.
9. Features Provided by Your Browser
Some features rely on capabilities of your web browser or operating system rather than on our servers. These include spell checking, dictation (speech to text), Read Aloud (text to speech) and printing. How these features work, including whether data is sent to your browser vendor, is governed by your browser's terms and privacy policy. Our Privacy Policy explains this further.
10. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design and documentation, is owned by Beezifi Inc. and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership to you. "Beezifi" and "Beezifi Docs" are trademarks of Beezifi Inc. Parts of the Service are inspired by or include open-source software. Those components are governed by their own licenses (such as the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses), which these Terms do not limit.
If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.
11. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information of the other party disclosed in connection with these Terms. This does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, rightfully received from a third party, or required to be disclosed by law.
12. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Beezifi does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that file conversions will be exact. You are responsible for keeping copies of documents that are important to you.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Beezifi's total cumulative liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees you paid to Beezifi for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) $100. Beezifi will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data.
14. Termination and Deletion
You may stop using the Service at any time. You can delete documents you own from your document list. Deleted documents can be recovered for 30 days, after which they are permanently deleted along with their version history, sharing settings and activity log. To close your account and delete your personal data, email privacy@beezifi.com.
We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Where we reasonably can, we will give you notice and a chance to export Your Content first.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. We will give at least 30 days' notice of material changes by email and on the Service. Continued use after the effective date of the revised Terms constitutes acceptance.
