If you encounter content that violates these Terms, please report it to us at support@urnextdoor.com.

7. Our intellectual property

The Service itself - including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the Ur Next Door name and branding - is owned by Ur Next Door or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for Your Content and for content made available under an open license, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the Service without our prior written permission.

8. Third-party content & links

The Service hosts content created by other users and may contain links to third-party websites, products, and advertising. We do not endorse and are not responsible for third-party content, websites, or services. Content posted by users reflects the views of those users, not of Ur Next Door. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.

9. Disclaimers

The Service and all content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any content is accurate, reliable, or complete.

Content on the Service is contributed by community members and is not professional advice. It is not a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial, safety, or other expert advice. Rely on it at your own risk and verify important information independently.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ur Next Door and its officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Service. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months before the claim, or INR 1,000.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ur Next Door and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Service, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination - including content licenses for content already shared, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnities - will survive.

13. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that the competent courts of India will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section limits any mandatory rights you may have as a consumer under the laws of India.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
