Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using Blogger ("the Service," "we," "us," or "our"), you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age and that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.
If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
Account registration
To publish content or access certain features, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information
- Maintain and promptly update your account details
- Keep your password secure and confidential
- Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account
We reserve the right to refuse registration, suspend, or terminate any account at our sole discretion, including for violations of these Terms.
You may not create an account on behalf of someone else without their express consent, or use another person's account without authorisation.
Content & conduct
You retain full ownership of any content you create and publish on Blogger ("User Content"). By posting content, you grant Blogger a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, reproduce, and distribute your content solely for the purpose of operating the Service.
You are solely responsible for your User Content. You agree not to post content that:
- Is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, or defamatory
- Infringes any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right
- Contains malware, viruses, or other malicious code
- Constitutes unsolicited advertising or spam
- Impersonates any person or entity
- Violates any applicable local, national, or international law
We reserve the right — but not the obligation — to review, remove, or restrict any User Content at our discretion and without prior notice.
Intellectual property
The Blogger platform, including its design, source code, logos, and all content created by us, is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service without our prior written consent.
The name "Blogger" and our logo are our trademarks. You may not use them without our prior written permission.
Privacy & data
Your use of Blogger is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of your data as described in that policy.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time by visiting your account settings or contacting us directly.
Payments & plans
Blogger currently offers a free plan for all users. If we introduce paid plans in the future, the following terms will apply:
- All fees are stated in the applicable currency at the time of purchase
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date
- Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis at our discretion
- We reserve the right to change our pricing with 30 days' notice
Termination
You may delete your account at any time by visiting your account settings. Upon deletion, your published posts will be removed from public view within a reasonable period.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if we are required to do so by law.
Upon termination, all licences and rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, disclaimers, indemnity, and limitation of liability — will continue to apply.
Disclaimers
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that:
- The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
- Any content on the platform is accurate, complete, or up to date
- The Service will meet your specific requirements
Content published by authors on Blogger reflects their personal views only and does not represent our opinions or endorsements.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Blogger and its directors, employees, and partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — the Service.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months prior to the claim, or (b) £100 (or the local currency equivalent).
Governing law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your country require otherwise.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a prominent notice on the platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect.
Your continued use of the Service after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, please stop using the Service and delete your account.
