meeow user agreement

Introduction – It is Time to Meet the World

You have probably gathered who we are by now, but if not, we are officially called Meeow Limited, and run our business from 33 Park Place, Leeds, England, LS1 2RY. Just in case it is not obvious, when you see ‘us’, ‘we’ and ‘our’ in this document we are referring to Meeow Limited.

If you are looking at this document you are either about to create a user account to use the Meeow Networking Service, (which we will simply refer to as the ‘Service’ in this document) and become the latest Meeowist, or you are already using the Service.

This document sets out the agreement between us in relation to what we expect from you when using the Service and what you should expect from us. Specifically, sections 1 to 3 set out the terms around your access and use of the Service and how you pay for the Service. Sections 4 to 6 set out our obligations in providing the Service and the legal stuff around ownership and licensing of the Service. Section 7 onwards contains the terms on cancellation and our liability to you if something goes wrong.

We want to be clear now, using big bold text for added emphasis:
