Terms of Service

Last updated: 7 July 2026. This is an early, plain-language version of our terms; a more formal version will replace it before general availability.

1. The service

Etaboards ("we", "us") provides hosted community forums. When you create a board, we provision and operate the infrastructure — the domain, database, storage and software — and you operate the community.

2. Your account

You need an Etaboards account to create and manage boards. You're responsible for keeping your credentials safe and for everything done through your account. You must provide a working email address — it's how you recover access to your boards.

3. Your board, your responsibility

You are the administrator and moderator of the boards you create. Content posted by you and your members is your community's responsibility. You must moderate content that violates our Acceptable Use Policy, and you must give us a way to reach you (your account email).

4. Our rights

We may suspend or remove boards that violate the Acceptable Use Policy, endanger the platform or other boards, or are required to be removed by law. Where reasonable we'll contact you first. We may change or discontinue features with notice; if we ever discontinue the service entirely, we'll give you at least 60 days to export your data.

5. Pricing

The free tier is described on the pricing page. You will never be charged without explicitly opting in to a paid option.

6. Your data

Your board's content belongs to you and your members. We process it only to run the service, as described in the Privacy Policy. You can delete a board — completely and permanently — from My boards at any time.

7. No warranty

The service is provided "as is" during this early period. We work hard to keep it fast and available, but we make no uptime guarantees yet and are not liable for indirect damages or lost data to the extent the law allows.

8. Changes

We may update these terms; material changes will be announced on this page and, where appropriate, by email. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
