Terms of Use

Effective date: 24 June 2021

Welcome to Patroon!

These Terms of Use are a binding contract between you and Patroon Legal Design B.V. (“we”, “us”, “our”). It contains the rules and restrictions that govern your use of Patroon’s products and services (referred to below simply as “Patroon”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these Terms or our products and services, please contact us at info@patroon.nl.

Using Patroon in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms. If you don’t agree to all these Terms, you may not use or access Patroon in any manner.

If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” throughout this document refer to that organization or entity).

Creating an Account on Patroon

You may be required to sign up for an account and select a password. You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and up-to-date registration information about yourself.

You agree that you will only use Patroon for your own personal or organizational use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party. You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission.

Intellectual Property and Reporting Infringement

You understand that we own Patroon and its content, including the texts, images, icons and illustrations. These Terms don’t grant you any right, title or interest in Patroon, or our logos and other intellectual property.

License to use Patroon
‍You are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use Patroon. You are allowed and encouraged to modify the Templates. You can also combine different (parts of) Templates into one or experiment with them. Free your creative spirit. This license ends when this agreement ends, or in case of a breach of this agreement. If the license ends, you stop using the Platform and Templates immediately and delete any Templates you have stored on your own devices.

Acceptable Use Policy

You are responsible for all your activity in connection with Patroon.

You also agree that you will not use Patroon in a manner that:

  • Jeopardizes the security of your Patroon account or anyone else’s (such as allowing someone else to log into Patroon as you, or sharing your account or password with someone);
  • Attempts, in any manner, to obtain the password, account, or other security information of any other user;
  • Violates the security of any computer network, or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes;
  • “Crawls,” “scrapes,” or “spiders” any page, data, or portion of Patroon (through use of manual or automated means);
  • Decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to Patroon.

Limitation of Liability

Patroon is not liable to you or to any other person for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind.

The Templates are no legal advice

Patroon and the Templates are provided to you on an “as-is” basis. This means we provide it to you without any express or implied warranties of any kind.

Terminating Your Account

Patroon is free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of Patroon, or your account, for any reason at our discretion.

Changes to Patroon

We’re always trying to improve Patroon, so our products and services may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of Patroon, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of Patroon.

Miscellaneous Terms

The above covers most of the questions that we typically receive about Patroon. We have grouped provisions that come up less frequently below:

  • Indemnification: You agree to indemnify and hold Patroon harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any third party claims relating to (a) your use of Patroon and (b) your violation of these Terms.
  • Choice of Law: These Terms are governed by Dutch law.
  • Changes to these Terms: We are constantly trying to improve our products and services, so these Terms may need to change along with Patroon. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the website and/or by sending you an email.
