Version draft-2026-07-24. Effective 2026-07-24. cozysocials is operated by Metalabworks [business address pending registration] (the "operator"). Contact: legal@metalabworks.co.
DRAFT FOR REVIEW. This text is a working draft and is not final or legal advice. It will be reviewed by a lawyer and replaced before launch.
By checking the box, typing your name, and clicking "I accept," you enter a binding agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
1. Who can accept
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract. If you accept on behalf of an organization, you confirm you are authorized to bind it.
2. What cozysocials is, and its beta nature
cozysocials is a planning and collaboration tool for social media managers and their clients. It helps you plan, create, organize, review, and prepare content on a shared calendar and library, and share projects through links. It is currently offered free of charge as an experimental beta and includes AI features. cozysocials does NOT post, schedule, or publish anything to any social media platform, and does not connect to any social platform's account or API on your behalf. You publish your content yourself, directly on the platforms you choose, and you are responsible for following each platform's own rules. Beta software can change, break, be interrupted, lose data, or be discontinued at any time without notice.
3. Assumption of risk
You understand that using an experimental beta carries risk. The AI features can be wrong, incomplete, misleading, offensive, or unavailable, and any part of the service can fail or lose data. You knowingly and voluntarily assume all risk arising from your use of the service, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
4. Release of liability and covenant not to sue
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release, waive, and discharge Metalabworks, its owner, operators, staff, and service providers (the "operator parties") from any and all claims, demands, damages, and causes of action arising from or related to your use of the service, and you agree not to sue them for any such claim. This does not waive any right that cannot be waived by law.
5. No warranty
The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.
6. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator parties are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, revenue, goodwill, or data, arising from or related to the service. The service is free during beta, and to the fullest extent permitted by law the operator parties' total aggregate liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid to use the service (which is zero during beta) or one hundred pesos.
7. Your content, your rights, and your responsibility
You keep ownership of what you create or upload ("your content"). You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights and permissions needed for your content, and that your content and your use of the service do not infringe anyone's rights or break any law. You are solely responsible for your content and for anything that happens through your account. You grant the operator the permissions needed to host, store, process, back up, and display your content to you and to the people you share a project with, only to run and improve the service.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the service to, and not to allow anyone else through your account to: break the law or help anyone break it; upload, post, or share content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, deceptive, or harmful; violate anyone's privacy or intellectual property; upload malware or attempt to gain unauthorized access; probe, scrape, overload, disrupt, or reverse engineer the service; work around usage limits or security; or misuse the service in any way. You are responsible for your conduct toward other users.
9. User content, moderation, takedown, and reporting
The operator does not pre-screen or monitor user content and is not responsible for content created by users. Users are solely responsible for their own content and conduct. The operator may, at its sole discretion and without liability, review, remove, restrict, or disable access to any content, and may suspend or terminate any account, at any time and for any reason, including suspected violation of these terms or applicable law. If you believe content on the service infringes your rights, is unlawful, or breaks these terms, report it using the report form at /report (no account needed) or by email to legal@metalabworks.co, with enough detail to identify the content. Reports are recorded with a reference number, and the operator will review them and act as it considers appropriate, which may include removing content and disabling accounts.
10. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the operator parties harmless from any claim, loss, liability, and expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your conduct, your use of the service, or your breach of this agreement.
11. AI output is not professional advice
AI generated content can be inaccurate or unsuitable. It is not professional, legal, financial, medical, or marketing advice. You are responsible for reviewing AI output and for anything you choose to publish.
12. Storage, archival, and best-effort permanence
Images and files may be stored on Firebase as a working (hot) copy and archived to Google Drive as a cold copy. The Drive archive is a best-effort, permanent-intent archive, not a guaranteed backup. Deleting a conversation removes it from your account and you cannot restore it. A cold archive copy may remain until you request full erasure of your data, which the operator completes manually. Outage, suspension, or loss at Google Drive or another provider may make files unavailable, and the operator parties are not liable for that.
12a. Deleted content, and when we keep a copy
The operator does not keep a copy of everything you delete. Where there is a specific reason to keep deleted content, for example a report about that content, a security or abuse investigation, or a legal preservation duty or a request from an authority, the operator may retain it outside your account for as long as that reason lasts. Retained content is not used to run the service and is not visible to you. If a legal hold applies, the operator may be required to keep that content, and to refuse a deletion request covering it, until the matter is resolved. See the Privacy Notice for how long this lasts.
13. Acceptance evidence, and retention of that evidence
When you accept these terms, the operator records proof of your acceptance. This includes the exact agreement text and its cryptographic hash, your account identifier and verified email, the date and time, your IP address, your browser's user agent, and a device signal derived from your browser. This proof is kept as evidence of your consent for up to ten (10) years after your most recent acceptance, or longer while a related dispute or legal hold is active. You agree that the operator may retain this proof of acceptance even after you delete your account or your other data, for as long as needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. See the Privacy Notice for details.
14. Data privacy
The operator processes personal data as described in the Privacy Notice. By using the service you acknowledge that Notice. Nothing here waives any right you have under applicable data protection law that cannot be waived. To make a privacy request, email legal@metalabworks.co.
15. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the service at any time. The operator may suspend or end your access, remove your content, and close your account, at its sole discretion, with or without notice, and without liability, including for breach of this agreement or misuse of the service.
16. Changes to these terms
The operator may update these terms. When the terms change in a way that requires it, you will be asked to accept the new version before continuing to use the service.
17. Governing law, venue, and dispute resolution
This agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You agree that any dispute arising from or related to the service or this agreement will be brought exclusively in the proper courts of [operator's city], Philippines, and you consent to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts. [The lawyer confirms this venue and any arbitration or class-action terms.]
18. Severability and entire agreement
If any provision of this agreement is held unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full force and effect. This agreement, together with the Privacy Notice, is the entire agreement between you and the operator about the service.
