Thanks for using Chimni! These terms of service (“Terms”) cover your use and access to our services, client software and websites ("Services"). If you are in the UK your agreement is with Chimni Ltd (“Chimni”). Chimni doesn’t currently operate outside the UK. If you’re using our Services for an organization, you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of that organization.

Your Content & Your Permissions

When you use our Services, you provide us with things like your files, content, messages, contacts, and so on (“Your Content”). Your Content is yours. These Terms don’t give us any rights to Your Content except for the limited rights that enable us to offer the Services.

We need your permission to do things like hosting Your Content, backing it up, and sharing it when you ask us to. Our Services also provide you with features like photo thumbnails, document previews, commenting, easy sorting, editing, sharing, and searching. These and other features may require our systems to access, store, and scan Your Content. You give us permission to do those things, and this permission extends to our affiliates and trusted third parties we work with.

Our system is based on the premise that you have the legal right to exercise control over the property details held in Your Content. By using our service you are stating that you have that right.

Sharing Your Content

We never share your content, apart from when you instruct our systems to do it for you. Our Services let you share Your Content with others, so please think carefully about what you share

Beta Services

We won’t provide notice before termination where:

(a) you’re in material breach of these Terms,

(c) we're prohibited from doing so by law.

Discontinuation of Services

We may decide to discontinue the Services in response to unforeseen circumstances beyond Chimni’s control or to comply with a legal requirement.

Resolving Disputes

Let’s Try To Sort Things Out First. We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case.

These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights.

Waiver, Severability & Assignment

Chimni’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void.
