Terms of Use

Last updated: August 31, 2021

1. Introduction and Acceptance

Carrd Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Carrd", "we", "us" and "our"), offers you access to carrd.co, an online interactive website builder and hosting platform (the "Website") that allows you to create a website hosted at a subdomain URL using a Carrd domain extension as described in Section 3(B), or a custom domain provided by you (each a "Site"). This Carrd Terms of Use document ("Terms of Use") govern your use of the Website.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE WEBSITE. BY ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE WEBSITE (OTHER THAN TO READ THESE TERMS OF USE FOR THE FIRST TIME) YOU ARE AGREEING TO COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, WHICH MAY CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITE.

If you are agreeing to these Terms of Use on behalf of someone else (your employer for example), then you are warranting to us that you have full legal authority to bind that third party.

2. How the Website Works

  • (A) When using the Website, you agree to follow our guidelines and instructions. Keep in mind that these Terms of Use apply to any use of the Website and any of our products and services (collectively, "Products") whether or not you publish your Site.
  • (B) In order to publish your Site, you will have to become a registered user. You need to be 18 years or older to register. If you are under the age of 18, then you are not permitted to publish a Site, register as a user or otherwise submit personal information unless we receive appropriate consent from your parent or guardian who is at least 18 years of age and this adult will be responsible for all your activities.
  • (C) If you become a registered user, you will provide true, accurate and complete registration information and, if such information changes, you will promptly update the relevant registration information. During registration, you will create a user name and password (an "Account"). You are responsible for any use of the Website or a Site using your Account and for safeguarding and maintaining the confidentiality of your Account. You agree to notify us immediately at the address or phone number set forth on the Website of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account.
  • (D) Becoming a registered user will provide you with a Basic plan, which is 100% free and provides unlimited access to use most of the Website Services.
  • (E) Upon becoming a registered user, you will be prompted to fund your account or purchase virtual cash or credits through PayPal or a credit/debit card that can be used to purchase certain Services or Service features from us. All amounts you pay to purchase virtual cash or credits will become the exclusive property of Carrd. Your virtual cash or credits will be made available to you as an "account balance" that can be used to purchase, renew or upgrade to a Pro Lite plan, a Pro Standard plan, a Pro Plus plan, or some variant thereof ("Pro plan"), which provides some additional features that are not available with our Basic plan. Optionally, the Pro plan may also be automatically renewed on an annual basis and remain in effect until cancelled by you. Virtual cash or credits have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash, transferred to a third party, or to make purchases from any other party. By authorizing a purchase through PayPal or a credit/debit card, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your state) and are authorized to use the payment method you present for the requested transaction.
  • (F) If you have insufficient funds in your account balance to perform an upgrade or manual renewal, you will be prompted to pay for the difference using either PayPal or a credit/debit card to add to your account balance. Optionally, you may add a saved payment method (e.g. a credit card) to replenish your account balance or to automatically cover charges in excess of your account balance. If you have insufficient funds in your account balance to perform an automatic renewal and you do not have a saved payment method, your account will, after a short grace period, be automatically downgraded to the free Basic plan and your sites will lose access to any Pro features they may be using. Saved payment methods are stored remotely by our third-party payment providers, and balances are stored in US dollars.
  • (G) You may optionally apply referral codes to upgrades and manual renewals. In the case of upgrades, a referral code's discount will be applied after any other credits you receive (e.g. a prorated credit for time remaining on an existing Pro plan).
  • (H) You may, during the course of your Pro plan, upgrade or downgrade to a different Pro plan. If upgrading to a higher cost Pro plan, you may be prompted to pay for the difference (after any applicable credits) in the manner described in Section 2(F). If downgrading to a lower cost Pro plan, a prorated credit for the time remaining on your existing Pro plan will be added to your account balance. Upon request, we may then, in our sole discretion, grant a full or partial refund of this credit to the original funding payment.
  • (I) Excluding earnings from Carrd itself (e.g. our referral program, as described in Section 7) and refunds which shall be granted in our sole discretion, balances cannot be withdrawn; once funds have been deposited in your account, they can only be used to purchase Products. Except for any sales tax that we may be required to collect on any purchase by you, you are responsible for paying all fees and taxes associated with your use of the Website, if any.
  • (J) Account balances are the exclusive property of Carrd and do not earn interest. We do not generally offer return of funds or credits on purchases unless required by law, but we reserve the right to do so in our sole and absolute discretion.
  • (K) In using our Service you may purchase (alternatively, you may earn virtual cash or credits through use of our Services), using either PayPal or a credit/debit card or your account balance, a limited, non-sublicensable, revocable right to use (a) virtual currency, including but not limited to virtual cash or credits, for your use with our Services; (b) virtual in-application items, content or features, including template designs; and (c) other goods or services ((a) through (c), collectively "Virtual Items"). You are only allowed to purchase Virtual Items from us or our authorized partners through the Service, and not in any other way. You must be 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your state), or obtain permission from your parent or legal guardian to purchase Virtual Items.
  • (L) Carrd may manage, regulate, control, modify or eliminate Virtual Items at any time, with or without notice, however, your Virtual Items may not expire from 5 years from the date of purchase. Carrd shall have no liability to you or any third party in the event that Carrd exercises any such rights.
  • (M) The use or transfer of Virtual Items is prohibited except where expressly authorized in the Service. Other than as expressly authorized in the Service, you shall not sell, purchase, redeem or otherwise transfer Virtual Items to any person or entity or attempt any of the aforesaid, including but not limited to Carrd, another user or any third party.
  • (N) ALL PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF VIRTUAL ITEMS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.
  • (O) The provision of Virtual Items is strictly for your personal, non-commercial use in connection with your use of the Service. The use of Virtual Items is a service provided by Carrd that commences immediately upon acceptance by Carrd of your purchase.
  • (P) You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an Account registered to you. Notwithstanding Carrd's Seller Program, discussed below, Carrd may revise the pricing for the Virtual Items offered through the Service at any time. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CARRD IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.
  • (Q) Virtual Items do not represent any stored value, have no monetary value, and do not constitute legal currency of any type.
  • (R) We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Website (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Website.

6. Website Content & Third Party Links

We provide the Website and Website Content for entertainment and/or promotional purposes only. Under no circumstances will we be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on any Website Content. The Website may contain links to other websites maintained by third parties. We do not operate or control, in any respect, or necessarily endorse the content found on these third-party websites. You assume sole responsibility for your use of third-party links. We are not responsible for any content posted on third-party websites or liable to you for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of your dealings with any third-party or their website.

7. Partner Programs

Referral Program

  • (A) You can choose to opt-in to Carrd's referral program, which will provide you with a personalized referral link you can use to refer other potential users to Carrd. Referred users who use your referral link to visit the Carrd website, or enter your referral code at checkout, you will earn, in virtual cash, a portion of the amount paid (after applicable discounts) towards their next upgrade or renewal as determined by your referral rate. You may only earn from the next upgrade or renewal made after the time of the referral. Subsequent upgrades, renewals, or other purchases of Products will not earn you anything from those purchases.
  • (B) For the purposes of sharing and promoting your referral link, you agree to not engage in activity, tactics, or practices that are illegal or considered questionable, such as spamming or deceptive linking. You also agree that you will not directly or indirectly (i) promote Carrd products or services and/or the referral link via any paid media channels; (ii) promote Carrd products or services and/or the referral link via any website, media, social media, or electronic presence or resource that may be considered pornographic, lewd, offensive, or discriminatory; (iii) engage in fraud or falsify information in connection with the referral link, Services, including without limitation using automated means to increase the number of clicks through the referral link; (iv) bid on any keyword, term or word in Pay-Per-Click Search Engines (PPCSE's) that contains any Mark or any variation thereof; (v) bid on any of the trademarks of any competitor of Carrd in conjunction with the Services; (vi) use any device, application, robot, software or technology that forces the referral link into a visitor's bookmark; or (viii) issue any press release that discusses or references Carrd except with the prior written consent of Carrd.

Seller Program

  • (A) You can choose to opt-in to Carrd’s seller program, which will allow you to create certain Virtual Items (for example, website templates created through use of the Service), as permitted by Carrd through the intended functionality of the Service, and provide such Virtual Items for sale to other Carrd users. You agree that you have all rights necessary to sell the Virtual Items you make available, and will describe such Virtual Items truthfully, accurately, and completely. Carrd’s seller program is only available to users with a Pro Lite plan or higher. The purchase and sale of any Virtual Item is subject to these Terms of Use.
  • (B) A member of the seller program may offer a Virtual Item for “sale” at a price set by the member. Alternatively, the member may set a minimum purchase price requirement when listing the Virtual Item for sale, in which case users of the platform may purchase the member’s Virtual Item for any price that user choses so long as it meets the minimum amount set by the member. All Virtual Items must be sold via the Carrd Service and must comply with Carrd’s User Content policy as described in Section 5 of these Terms of Use. Upon a sale of a Virtual Item you will earn, in virtual cash, a portion of amount paid (after applicable discounts) in virtual cash or credits that will be deposited into your account.
  • (C) You are solely responsible for reading and reviewing the Virtual Item listing before making an offer or a purchase. The contract to purchase a Virtual Item is between you and the seller, not Carrd. When you buy a Virtual Item from another user, Carrd is not a party to the transaction, is not a seller, auctioneer, or carrier. Upon purchasing a Virtual Item, you are obligated to remit payment for the item to the seller, and you authorize the transfer the purchase price (plus applicable fees) from your Carrd account to the seller. You may pay for Virtual Items sold by another user, using payment methods approved by Carrd, and you agree that Carrd will receive the payment from the buyer on behalf of seller, as seller’s agent. Carrd has the right to delay or block any transaction you make with another user for fraud screening, to protect the security of accounts or systems, or if we believe the transaction may violate these Terms of Use. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CARRD HAS NO LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PURCHASE OF A VIRTUAL ITEM MADE ON THE CARRD SITE AND THAT CARRD IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND TO YOU FOR ANY REASON.

Partner Program Earnings

  • (A) The virtual cash earned from Carrd's referral and seller programs are automatically deposited to your account balance, which can then be spent on Products, other Virtual Items, or paid out as described below. Deposits from Virtual Item earnings are marked as "available to payout" to differentiate them from normal user-initiated deposits which cannot be withdrawn. You may request a payout at any time provided your "available to payout" balance is at least $25.
  • (B) Payouts are generally paid out via PayPal within 5 business days of your payout request. You will be required to provide a valid PayPal email in order to receive payouts. Please note payouts may be subject to Form 1099-K reporting, the form of which will be supplied to you by PayPal. For more information, please refer to this page.

  • (C) In some jurisdictions limitations of liability are not permitted. In such jurisdictions, some of the foregoing limitations may not apply to you. These limitations shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12. Termination

  • (A) Publication of a Site not an automatic right; it is a benefit for users who follow our reasonable rules. We hope that you will be with us for a long time, but we do reserve the right in our sole discretion (acting reasonably of course) and at any time to terminate or suspend your Site and/or block your access to the Website for any reason including, without limitation if you have failed to comply with these Terms of Use.
