Last updated: 10th December 2024.

The Libresoft Terms of Use form the Agreement between Libresoft Ltd and the Customer, explaining our responsibilities as your service provider and your responsibilities as a Customer.

Please read through carefully as these terms of use are your legal obligations and rights, and you must understand and accept them before you can start using Libresoft Services.

Should there be any disagreement between you and Libresoft, we will try our best to resolve it with you. Should we be unable to reach agreement then we agree that it must be resolved by arbitration or through small claims court. Please see Section 14 for more information about disputes.

Libresoft licences use of the Services to you on the basis of this Agreement. We do not sell the Services to you. We remain the owners of the Services at all times.

If you register for a free trial for use of the Services, this Agreement will also govern that free trial.

If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to these terms and conditions, in which case the terms you or your shall also refer to such entity and its affiliates. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with these terms of use, you must not accept this Agreement and may not use the Services.
