Terms of service

• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
• Give us accurate details, including your real birth date, and keep access to your email and sign-in accounts secure. You're responsible for what happens under your account.
• Choose a username that isn't misleading, offensive or someone else's name or trademark. We may reclaim usernames that break these terms.

Your lists, wishes, profile, photos and the links you paste are yours. You give [Company legal name] a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, copy, display and adapt them only as needed to run and promote Hintcake, such as showing a public list and its share preview. The licence ends when you delete the content, except for copies others have already shared or that we must keep by law.

When you paste a link, we show the store's product title, image and price as they appeared then. Images stay on the store's servers. Only add content you have the right to share.

Don't use Hintcake to:

• break the law or infringe anyone's rights;
• post content that's hateful, harassing, sexually explicit or that exploits children;
• impersonate someone, or make lists for someone without their permission;
• send spam, link to malware or scams, or use gift links to mislead people;
• scrape, overload or probe the service, or get around its limits or security.

We may earn a commission when you buy through links on Hintcake. When you follow a gift link, we may add an affiliate code. It never changes what you pay.

Stores are independent of us. Prices, stock, delivery, returns and the products themselves are each store's responsibility, and what you buy is between you and the store. Prices on Hintcake are what the store showed when the wish was added, not live prices.

• Reserving a gift tells other guests you plan to give it. It isn't a purchase, payment or promise, and nothing is bought through Hintcake.
• We don't guarantee that a reserved gift will be bought, that two people won't buy the same gift, or that a list is up to date.
• List owners see that a gift is reserved, never by whom. Please keep the surprise.

Hintcake is free to use. We keep improving it, so features may change, and occasionally the service may be unavailable. We'll try to give notice of big changes.

You can stop using Hintcake and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or put others at risk, and we'll tell you why unless the law or safety prevents it.

Hintcake is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows.

[Limitation of liability: to be drafted by counsel, including the liability cap and any carve-outs required for consumers in the EU and UK.]

These terms are governed by the laws of [governing law], and disputes go to the courts of [venue], except where your local consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim where you live.

When we change these terms we update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll tell you before it takes effect. Using Hintcake after that means you accept the new terms.
