Terms of service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of LineMerge, a scheduling and calendar-merging service operated by Nameverse Inc. ("we", "us"). By creating an account, using the website or the mobile apps, or booking time through a LineMerge page, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. Bookers are also covered by the SMS terms if they give a phone number.

1. The service

LineMerge connects to calendar accounts and phones you authorize, computes a merged availability, hosts booking pages, sends booking-related email and text messages, and writes confirmed bookings back to the calendar you designate. Features vary by plan and evolve over time. Some features are marked as beta or "in the apps"; they may change or be withdrawn.

2. Your account

You must be at least 16 years old and able to form a binding contract. Business accounts may be created only by someone authorized to bind the business.
You are responsible for your credentials, two-factor devices and API keys, and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly about any unauthorized use.
Keep your information accurate. We may require a verified email address before some features are enabled.

3. Connected calendars, devices and your content

Connect only calendar accounts and phones you are authorized to use. If you connect an employer's or brokerage's account, you are responsible for complying with their policies.
You keep all rights to your calendar data, uploaded images and other content. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process it solely to provide the service, as described in the Privacy Policy.
Google and Microsoft impose their own terms on their APIs; your use of those integrations is also subject to those terms. Apple's and Google's terms apply to the app stores.

4. Bookings, hosts and bookers

LineMerge computes availability from what your calendars and devices report. Delays, provider outages and phone snapshots can make it stale; you are responsible for confirming critical appointments.
Hosts are responsible for the meeting types they publish, the questions they ask, honouring or managing appointments, and for any professional or licensing rules that apply to their business. We are not a party to the engagement between a host and a booker.
Bookers receive confirmation email and, if they give a number, text messages about their booking. Booking links, reschedule links and cancel links are personal: do not share them.
Hosts who forward booking data to their own systems (webhooks, integrations) are responsible for that data once it leaves LineMerge.

5. Messages we send on your behalf

LineMerge sends booking email and text messages to bookers on the host's behalf. Hosts may not use the service to send marketing, bulk or unsolicited messages, and may not add phone numbers or email addresses of people who have not booked. Text messages are sent only to numbers bookers enter themselves and follow the SMS terms; hosts cannot compose or send texts. See Email and text messages for what is sent and how to opt out.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use the service for spam, harassment, deceptive scheduling, or any unlawful purpose, including violations of telemarketing, anti-spam (CAN-SPAM, CASL, TCPA, PECR) or privacy law that applies to your business;
Probe, disrupt or circumvent security, rate limits, bot protection, plan limits or billing;
Access another user's data without authorization, or scrape booking pages;
Reverse engineer the service except where the law permits it despite this clause;
Resell or white-label the service without a plan or written agreement that permits it;
Upload images or content you do not have the right to use, or that is unlawful or offensive.

7. Plans, billing, trials and cancellation

The Free plan has limits (connected accounts, meeting types, bookings per month) shown on the pricing page. When a limit is reached the action is refused with a message; nothing already set up stops working.
Paid plans are billed in advance, monthly or yearly, through Stripe. Prices are shown before purchase and exclude taxes unless stated. Yearly plans are priced at ten months.
New paid subscriptions may start with a free trial. You will not be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel during the trial at no cost.
Team plans include three people, the account owner among them; additional members are billed per seat and prorated by Stripe when members are added or removed. Family plans cover up to five household members.
Plans renew automatically until cancelled. Cancel any time from Billing; the plan stays active until the end of the paid period. You may also pause a subscription for one to three months, once in any 12-month period and not during a trial. Except where the law requires, fees are non-refundable and partial periods are not refunded.
Referral credits are applied to your Stripe balance and used against future invoices; they have no cash value and are void if the referred account is fraudulent or the referral program is abused.
We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice; changes apply from your next renewal.

8. Mobile apps

The LineMerge apps for iOS and Android are licensed, not sold, to you for use on devices you own or control, under these Terms. The apps are free to download; plans are purchased on the website. The following applies to the iOS app, as Apple requires:

These Terms are between you and Nameverse Inc. only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation.
Nameverse Inc., not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, and consumer protection claims, and for investigating and resolving any third-party intellectual property claims.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms for the iOS app and may enforce them against you.

For the Android app, Google Play's terms apply in addition to these Terms.

9. Webhooks, feeds and API

Calendar feeds, webhooks and API keys are personal to your account. Keep them secret; revoke them if exposed. We may rate-limit or suspend integrations that harm the service. We may change APIs with reasonable notice.

10. Termination

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time, from the web or the apps. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, create risk for other users or for us, are used for abuse, or where the law requires, with notice where practicable. On termination your data is deleted as described in the Privacy Policy; bookings that a host has already written to their own calendar remain there.

11. Intellectual property

We own the service, including software, design and branding. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use it for your business or personal scheduling. Feedback you send us may be used without obligation. "LineMerge" and the merge mark are trademarks of Nameverse Inc.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT AVAILABILITY DATA, EMAIL OR TEXT DELIVERY WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY OR ERROR-FREE — calendar providers, carriers, device snapshots and networks introduce delays — AND WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Some jurisdictions do not allow these disclaimers; where they do not, they apply to the extent permitted.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE OR DATA. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR US$100 IF YOU HAVE PAID NOTHING. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or for consumer rights that cannot be waived.

14. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your content, your bookings, messages sent at your direction, or your breach of these Terms.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the service evolves. For material changes we give at least 14 days' notice by email or in-app. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance; if you do not agree, stop using the service and delete your account.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Nameverse Inc. is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be brought in the courts there, except that consumers keep any mandatory protections and venue rights of the place where they live. Before starting a claim, either party will contact the other and try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days.

17. General

These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the SMS terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the service. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
