Terms of Service

Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are Gerum þetta slf ('Company', 'we', 'us', or 'our'), a company registered in Iceland.

We operate the website here.is (the 'Site'), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the 'Legal Terms') (collectively, the 'Services').

We provide personal vanity URLs where you can claim a unique path (e.g., here.is/yourname) to create your personal link page.

You can contact us by email at support@here.is.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ('you'), and Gerum þetta slf, concerning your access to and use of the Services. You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Legal Terms from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the 'Last updated' date of these Legal Terms. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Legal Terms to stay informed of updates.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 16 years old. Persons under the age of 16 are not permitted to use or register for the Services.

1. Our Services

here.is provides a personal URL service where registered users can claim a unique path and create a customisable link page. Each user receives a memorable URL in the format here.is/[yourname] where they can display their profile, bio, and collection of links.

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation.

2. Username and Path Registration Policy

This is a critical section. Please read carefully.

The here.is service is designed for personal identity URLs only. When you register a path (username), you agree to the following restrictions:

We reserve the right to reclaim, suspend, or reassign any username that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates this policy. This includes usernames that were registered before this policy was in effect.

If you believe you have a legitimate claim to a username that may appear to violate this policy (e.g., your legal name happens to be a common word), please contact us with documentation to support your claim.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Services, including all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics in the Services (collectively, the 'Content'), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the 'Marks').

Our Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws and treaties around the world. The Content and Marks are provided in or through the Services 'AS IS' for your personal, non-commercial use only.
