These Terms of Service are a binding contract between you (the "End User" or "You/Your"), the user of Ghost's site and Ghost Inc., a BVI Company ("Ghost"), executed electronically by You indicating your acceptance via a Ghost web site and as a precondition to Ghost providing services to You.

Ghost is providing valuable services at http://G.ho.st or http://Ghost.cc, or other domains or sub domains and related or partner sites, including services at no cost to the End User and services at low cost and at a considerable cost to Ghost. In return Ghost requires your acceptance of these terms and Ghost retains the right to modify these Terms of Service, at Ghost's sole discretion, from time to time without notice to You. Modified terms will be posted from time to time on the Ghost web site and you may only continue to use Ghost's services if you accept these Terms of Service, as updated. Furthermore, Ghost may offer services that are subject to different terms of service.

    1. The Services

Ghost may provide services (the "Services") including, but not necessarily limited to:
  • Posting content created by Ghost and by third parties.
  • Hosting software-as-a-service type services where the software may be written by, owned by, hosted by and offered as a service by either Ghost or third parties.
  • Store user data and files.
  • Providing via Ghost's domain pass through content and services offered by third parties.
  • Visually embedding third party content or services in the Ghost "desktop"(which may be served via Ghost computers or directly from third-party computers).
  • Linking and referring to third party content or hosted services,and
  • Any other service which is provided from time to time by Ghost or via the Ghost web sites.
You hereby acknowledge that third party content, software-as-a-service or other Services which Ghost posts, hosts, passes-through, visually embeds or links to ("Third-Party Services") - will mostly be entirely out of Ghost's control even though it appears to be visually embedded in the Ghost site or other Ghost Services and in many cases may be provided without Ghost's knowledge or consent.
 
    2. Your Representations & Obligations

You represent that You are of legal age to enter into this binding contract and to use the Services you choose to use, that the personal details you provided during registration are accurate, and that Your use of the Services is not in violation of any contract (including, but not limited to, an employment contract), statute or law.

You are solely responsible for safeguarding your password and other private information and for securing and backing up Your data. You are solely responsible for taking all reasonable measures to avoid being in breach of these Terms of Service. For example, you are responsible for verifying that data that you post is free of violations of copyrights and other laws and contracts, is accurate and is non-offensive.

You represent that Your use of Ghost Services is for Your own personal use (or in the case of a business service, is for the use of employees of the Company only) and not on behalf of any third party and not for any commercial purpose (except where the Service is explicitly offered by Ghost for a commercial purpose). In case a gree account is offered You represent that You will only create one such free account for your own personal use.
 
    3. As-Is Service

Ghost provides its Services "as-is" and "as-available" and makes no warranty whatsoever as to the quality, availability or continuity of service (except for paid services if and when a warranty is explicity made).


Ghost may, amongst its other rights, and without prior notice:

  • Change or discontinue a Service. Take down its site temporarily or permanently. Discard or archive data. Disable a user account.
  • Monitor and analyze user's activities on the site
  • Sell content and information to others when it does not violate Ghost's Privacy Policy, copyrights or other laws, and change a Service from being free to being subscription-based or change the price or terms of a Service.
  • Impose general practice guidelines and limits on the use of a Service such as limiting the number of files, posts, e-mails and other content including the duration of availability.
  • Subcontract any or all of its data operations and other operations to third-parties from time to time and change suppliers at any time, whether with or without public disclosure.
Ghost is a commercial company and many of its Services are at no cost to End-Users. You therefore agree that Ghost may:

  • Post advertisements, sponsored content and links on its site in return for payment by third parties, including advertising which is targeted by an algorithm based on content or usage patterns of Your G.ho.st® account and partner services.
  • Earn a fee from third-parties for referring You to their site or to their products or services or when you choose to access their sites from within G.ho.st® e.g. from the G.ho.st® Browser (sometimes known as affiliate programs).
  • Do the above without specifically disclosing it each time.
  • Charge subscription fees for certain Services and update fees from time to time.
 
    4. Member Conduct

You agree to conduct Your use of the Services and Your interactions with the Ghost site in a reasonable and appropriate manner. You specifically agree not to:

  • Post material which is incorrect or misleading.
  • Post material which is pornographic, obscene, defamatory or offensive to other users or that harasses other users.
  • Post material or act in a way which will cause a breach of copyright, trademark, patent or any other law in any jurisdiction or which causes a breach of contract or where Ghost's reasonable use of the material may cause Ghost to breach a law, statute or contract.
  • Cause a non-human entity including, but not limited to, web spiders, bots, indexers, robots, crawlers, harvesters, or any other computer programs designed to access, read, compile or gather content from the web site automatically to interact directly with the Ghost Services (other than a browser directly relaying human interaction) without explicit permission from Ghost.
  • Compile, harvest, gather, store, and/or distribute any email addresses appearing on Ghost or belonging to other users of Ghost Services or deliver email messages to such email addresses. You hereby acknowledge that each such email address has a value of not less than US $1,000 and that any prohibited action relating to the email addresses substantially diminishes their value and damages Ghost's reputation and business.
  • Use content, products or Services available from Ghost in a way which might breach Ghost's copyright or third party copyrights, or any laws or contracts (for example the fact that some media is available on Ghost's site does not necessarily mean that you have the right to copy it or to use it in other ways beyond the way in which Ghost is using it).
  • Create unnecessary loads on Ghost's computer systems including using storage, bandwidth or processing resources beyond those needed for your reasonable personal use of the Services.
  • Attempt to disable or circumvent any security measures, gain access to hardware, software or content in a way which is not intended (including any kind of "hacking" or copyright abuse) or help others to do so.
  • Impersonate a third party, present false credentials or obscure your real identity when your identity is requested.
  • Interact with Ghost Services in any way that is not reasonable or not in line with their intended use.

You confirm and acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by and not violate Ghost's Privacy Policy, as updated from time to time, and to be bound by and not violate any of the rules, guidelines, instructions or terms of service which might accompany specific aspects of the Services provided by Ghost or by third parties.

You acknowledge, consent and agree that Ghost may access, preserve, and disclose content and information included in Your account if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce these Terms of Service; (c) respond to claims of infringement of the rights of third-parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Ghost, its other users and the public.
 
    5. Authentication

You are responsible for choosing a secure username and password (and secure secret questions or other security settings if provided), and for safeguarding these from disclosure. Ghost shall be entitled to assume that anyone presenting Your secret credentials is You and may present to them Your private information, accept from them instructions on Your behalf, etc.
 
    6. Third-Party Services

Much third party content, products and services (including software-as-a-service) are either hosted by Ghost, pass through Ghost computers, are linked to by Ghost or are in some way visually embedded in Ghost Services. Despite any superficial connection (e.../MainPage/ visual sharing of your browser screen or sharing of URLs) between the Ghost Services and the third-party services, these are entirely separate and third-party services are entirely governed by Your relationship with the third parties and by their own terms of services and privacy policy. Ghost accepts no responsibility whatsoever for third-party services, whether Ghost has a commercial relationship with those third parties or not. You commit to Ghost not to abuse any of the third-party services or their terms of use and privacy policies as this is damaging to Ghost's reputation and business relationships. Ghost makes no commitment to you with respect to third party services.
Please report third parties who do not provide a good service (or especially third parties who are in breach of laws or contracts or cause offence) to Ghost at but please be aware that Ghost does not necessarily have any control or even any knowledge of which third parties provide services over the Ghost desktop.


Please review Ghost's Privacy Policy for more information concerning private information and third party services.

 
    7. Indemnification

You hereby undertake to indemnify and hold Ghost and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, partners and licensors harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the Ghost Services, your breach of any law or contract or other person's or entity's rights or your violation of these Terms of Service.
 
    8. Grant of License

You hereby grant Ghost an irrevocable, indefinite, world-wide, fully paid, royalty-free license to reproduce, copy, backup, publish, distribute and use any material that you post to public areas of Ghost. Your personal data is governed by Ghost's Privacy Policy and you hereby grant Ghost an irrevocable, indefinite, world-wide, fully paid, royalty-free license to copy, process and transmit your data for the sole purpose of providing services to you and for permitted use of the data (such as using your preferences to customize Ghost and third-party services and for gathering general statistics which do not in any way compromise your individual privacy) all subject to Ghost's Privacy Policy

   15. Usage by Children and children on-line Privacy Protection

Ghost does not offer services to children under the age of 13 and superversion is strongly recommended for older children because Ghost may be easily used as a gateway to accessing third party services and content which may be inappropriate for youth and which are not in Ghost's control.
