To access Stringtale, you must create an account. Upon registration, you gain access to the service through a secure login process. You agree to provide accurate and complete information during registration and to update your information as necessary.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to notify De Monsters immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. De Monsters assumes that all activities conducted under your account are authorized by you.

De Monsters will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Stringtale is available at all times. However, De Monsters does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the service and shall not be liable for any downtime or disruptions.
De Monsters may conduct scheduled maintenance on Stringtale, which may result in temporary unavailability. Whenever possible, users will be notified in advance of any planned maintenance periods.
De Monsters reserves the right to update, modify, or enhance Stringtale at any time. While user feedback is valued, De Monsters retains sole discretion over which updates or modifications are implemented.
In the event of unexpected issues that require immediate action, De Monsters reserves the right to perform emergency maintenance without prior notice. This may lead to temporary service interruptions.
While De Monsters strives to maintain high service levels, there is currently no formal Service Level Agreement (SLA) guaranteeing specific uptime or performance metrics. De Monsters strives to maintain a monthly uptime of at least 99%, excluding planned maintenance and force majeure events.
Stringtale, including its software, design, and all associated content, is the intellectual property of De Monsters. Users are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the service in accordance with these terms. No ownership rights are transferred to users.

By using Stringtale, you grant De Monsters the right to display your company’s name and logo on our website and in marketing materials. If you prefer not to be listed, you may opt out at any time by notifying us in writing at [email protected].
As Stringtale provides services that are accessible immediately upon subscription, all payments made are non-refundable. This includes both monthly and annual subscriptions.
If you begin a paid subscription after a free trial, no refunds will be provided once the trial period ends and payment has been processed.
Refunds may be issued at the sole discretion of De Monsters in cases of technical issues that prevent you from using the service, provided these issues are reported within 14 days of payment.
Before requesting a refund, users are encouraged to contact Stringtale’s customer support to resolve any issues they may be experiencing with the service.
Any chargebacks initiated by the user will be contested by De Monsters and may result in immediate termination of your account.
Refunds will be processed in accordance with applicable laws, including any mandatory consumer protection regulations.
Stringtale may integrate with third-party services to enhance its functionality. By using these integrations, you agree to comply with the terms and conditions of the respective third-party providers.
De Monsters is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or performance of any third-party services. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk, and any issues arising from their use should be addressed with the respective providers.
In order to facilitate the integration of third-party services, Stringtale may need to share certain user data with these services. Such data sharing will be conducted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

The total liability of De Monsters for any claim arising out of or relating to the use of Stringtale shall not exceed the amount paid by the user for the service in the 12 months preceding the event that gave rise to the liability.
This agreement begins when you first use Stringtale and remains in effect until terminated as outlined in this article.
De Monsters may terminate this agreement or suspend your access to Stringtale:
Users may request an export of their data (including project structure and user information) at any time during the term by contacting our support team. De Monsters will provide such export in a commonly used format within a reasonable timeframe. Upon termination, you will have a 30-day period to request and export your data. After this period, your data will be deleted in accordance with Article 6.4.
Upon termination of this agreement, your right to access and use Stringtale will immediately cease. Any outstanding fees owed to De Monsters will remain payable.
The provisions of this agreement that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., intellectual property, limitation of liability, and indemnification) shall remain in effect after termination.
This agreement and any disputes arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
Any disputes arising out of or in connection with this agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in the Netherlands, specifically in the district where De Monsters has its principal place of business.
If mandatory law provides for different legal requirements or jurisdictions based on the User’s location, such provisions shall prevail only to the extent required by law.
De Monsters reserves the right to change or add to these terms and conditions, as well as any pricing, at any time.
Any changes or additions will be communicated through the service at least 30 days before they take effect. For significant changes, additional notifications may be provided via email.
If you do not agree with the changes, you have the right to terminate the agreement before the changes take effect. Continued use of Stringtale after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
In the event of material changes that significantly impact the use of the service, De Monsters will provide a detailed explanation of the changes to ensure transparency.
Any changes to these terms will not affect the obligations accrued under the previous version of the terms.
These terms and conditions, along with any documents expressly referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and De Monsters concerning the use of Stringtale.
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The failure of De Monsters to enforce any right or provision in these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by De Monsters in writing.
De Monsters may assign its rights and obligations under these terms to a third party in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Users may not assign or transfer their rights under these terms without the prior written consent of De Monsters.
De Monsters shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of God, war, terrorism, strikes, interruptions in internet service, or other force majeure events.
Any notices or other communications required under these terms shall be provided in writing, either through the service interface, email, or other reliable means of communication as deemed appropriate by De Monsters.
