Terms Policy

By Using MERJ.COM You Accept these Terms

Last updated: 14 August 2017

We think honesty and transparency is the best way in every situation. So, in layman's terms here’s what we're about in plain English. Our MERJ.COM platform is the result of extreme coffee consumption and frequent late nights. So, these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”), alongside our Privacy Policy, are the Agreement between MERJ.COM and its shareholders, affiliates, directors, officers, subsidiaries, employees, agents, suppliers, licensees, distributors, successors, resellers and assigns (“MERJ.COM” or “We”) and you (“You” or the “User”). Our Terms outline your use of the MERJ.COM web site (the “Site”), the MERJ.COM web application and/or MERJ.COM services (collectively, the “Service”). By using us, you have acknowledged and agreed to these Terms, so we advise you read them carefully.

MERJ.COM reserves the right to update these Terms from as required, without notice and any amendment will become part of these Terms from the date of amendment. To remain up to date with our Terms, please ensure you read them regularly. If you do not agree to our Terms or our Privacy Policy, please refrain from using our Service. Additionally, if You have any questions about them, please contact MERJ.COM at [email protected].

You are strictly prohibited to store, transmit, distribute or create any material that violates any applicable laws or regulations.

Deleting/Removing Actions

Through out the website we provide options to "delete", "destroy", "clear" or "remove" data or similar related actions. They are red buttons so they are clear. If a user chooses to click one of these buttons, the user will be prompted for confirmation (we know people sometimes press buttons they don't mean to). If the user accepts the confirmation "Yes" or "OK", all of the associated data within the object will be permanently deleted and cannot be retrieved. This is for the user's peace of mind that if they want to remove some data, it really will be removed. We do keep some interim backups of data but this is only available for side wide issues such as hardware failure and corrupt data. See Backing Up for more details.

Backing Up

We will securely backup our database and file system on a regular basis. We will only perform a restoration from a backup in the event of a hardware failure or data that has been corrupted and no longer retrievable. We will not perform restorations of projects for users in the event that they delete their projects or data. We keep a maximum of 30 backups which are archived. When a new backup is created, the eldest backup from the 10 is then deleted. Within 30 cycles.

Data We Keep

If a user decides to cancel their account, we will keep data any billing information associated with the account so that can process our own account information.
