Terms of service

These terms govern the use of bitsib.com. By creating an account you accept them.

Draft for legal review. Bracketed places need company details before launch.

1. Who provides the service

bitsib.com is operated by [company name], [registration number], registered at [address], contact [email]. In these terms “we” means that company and “you” means the account holder.

2. What the service is

The service rents a number from 1 to 100,000. A rented number gives you a page at a short address and a form through which visitors can write to you. Each number exists once and is held by one account at a time.

A number is rented, not sold. You do not acquire ownership of the number itself, and the rental lasts while the subscription is paid.

3. Account

One account holds one number. You must give a working email address, keep your password to yourself, and you are responsible for everything done through your account. You must be old enough to enter a contract where you live; if you are under 16, you may use the service only with a parent or guardian.

4. Payment and renewal

The subscription price and billing period are shown before payment. Payments are handled by our payment provider; we never see your card details. The subscription renews automatically until you cancel it, and cancelling stops the next renewal without refunding the current period.

Some numbers are marked as premium and may carry a one-time fee in addition to the subscription. That fee is not refundable once the number is assigned to you.

If a payment fails, the page stays online for a grace period, then pauses, and the number is released after the periods shown in your dashboard. Content is kept during the pause and is deleted when the number is released.

5. No resale or transfer

You may not sell, rent out, transfer, auction or otherwise pass your number or account to another person, and you may not offer to do so. Numbers are assigned by us only. If we find an attempt to trade a number, we may release it and close the account without a refund.

6. What you publish

You keep the rights to what you put on your page and you are responsible for it. You confirm you have the right to publish it, including images, video, audio and fonts.

You may not publish or send through the service:

  • anything unlawful where you or we operate;
  • material that sexualises minors, incites violence or hatred;
  • other people’s personal data without their consent;
  • malware, phishing, or pages that impersonate someone else;
  • content infringing copyright, trademarks or other rights;
  • bulk advertising, spam, or automated messages to other numbers.

We may remove content, hide a page or close an account that breaks these rules, and we act on complaints sent through the report link on every page.

7. Messages

Visitors can write to a number without signing in, and the sender stays anonymous to you. Messages are stored for the period shown on your page and then deleted. Do not use messages to harass, threaten or advertise; we block senders who do.

8. Availability

We try to keep the service running without interruption but cannot promise it. We may perform maintenance, change features, and suspend the service temporarily. We keep backups, though you are responsible for keeping your own copies of what matters to you.

9. Ending the rental

You may delete your account at any time from the dashboard. Deleting removes your page, files, messages and profile immediately and cannot be undone; payments already made are not refunded. Your number then rests for one month before returning to the catalogue, so old links and QR codes do not lead to a stranger’s page.

We may close an account that breaks these terms, with a refund of the unused period unless the breach was deliberate.

10. Liability

The service is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, lost profit or lost data, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. Changes

We may change these terms. Substantial changes are announced by email at least 14 days before they take effect; continuing to use the service after that means you accept them. If you do not, you may delete your account and receive a refund of the unused period.

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of [country], and disputes go to the courts of [city], unless the law of your country of residence as a consumer gives you the right to your local courts. Write to [email] first: most things are settled that way.
