Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 9, 2026  •  Site: www.middlesiggy.com

1. Agreement to These Terms

MiddleSiggy is operated by SiggySOFT LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("we", "us", "our"). These Terms of Service govern your use of this website, the accounts, memberships, purchases, downloads, blog and community areas offered on it, and any related service that links to these Terms (together, the "Services"). By using the Services, creating an account, or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. Who May Use the Services

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or post anything on the Services. If you are under 18, you may use the Services only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use, including any purchase. If you use the Services on behalf of a business or other organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organization.

3. Your Account

• Give accurate information when you sign up, and keep your e-mail address current. We sign you in by sending codes or links to that address, or by a passkey you set up, so anyone who controls your e-mail account or device can reach your account. Keep them secure.
• An account is for one person. Do not share it, sell it, or use someone else's.
• You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly through our contact page if you believe it has been used without your permission.
• You may delete your account at any time from your account page or by contacting us. What happens to your information when you do is described in the Privacy Policy and in section 6.
• We may refuse, suspend or close an account, or remove content, at our discretion, including when we believe these Terms have been broken or the Services or other people need protecting.

4. Memberships and Paid Services

Some parts of the Services are open to everyone, some to anyone with a free account, and some only to members of a paid membership level. The benefits of each level are described where the membership is offered. We may add, change or retire levels and benefits from time to time.

• Prices and taxes. The price, billing period and any applicable taxes are shown before you pay. You are responsible for any taxes that apply to your purchase.
• Automatic renewal. A recurring membership renews automatically at the end of each billing period and is charged to the payment method you provided, until you cancel. By starting a recurring membership you authorize those recurring charges.
• Cancelling. You may cancel at any time from your account page or the payment provider's page linked from it. Cancellation stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
• Refunds. Payments are non-refundable, including for partly used periods, except where the law requires a refund or where we state otherwise at the time of purchase. We may grant a refund or credit at our discretion; doing so once does not oblige us to do so again.
• Price changes. We may change the price of a membership. A change applies to a recurring membership from the next renewal after we have given you notice, and you may cancel before it takes effect.
• Payment providers. Payments are handled by third-party payment processors under their own terms. We do not receive or store your full card number. If a payment fails or is reversed, we may suspend the related access until it is resolved.
• Support payments. Payments that support our work are payments for the membership or product described, not charitable donations, and are not tax-deductible.

5. Digital Products and Downloads

When you buy or are given access to a digital product (for example a guide, a file or a software download), we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use it for your own personal or internal business purposes, subject to these Terms. You may not resell, share, publish, redistribute, or make it available to others, or remove any notices from it. Software may come with its own license terms, which apply in addition to these Terms. We aim to keep purchased downloads available from your account, but we do not promise that every product will remain available indefinitely; keep your own copy.

6. Community and Content You Post

The community and comment areas let members ask questions, answer them and share experience. Content in public areas can be read by anyone, including people who are not signed in, and may be found through search engines.

• Your content stays yours. You keep ownership of what you post. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt (for example to fit a page or fix formatting), translate and distribute it in connection with the Services and our related channels. This includes using questions and topics raised in the community as the basis for articles, guides and videos, in which we may quote short excerpts with your display name or without a name.
• Your responsibility. You are responsible for what you post and confirm that you have the right to post it. Do not post anything that infringes someone else's rights or that you are not free to share, such as confidential information.
• Moderation. We, and members we trust to help, may review, edit for formatting, move, hide or remove content and may limit or close accounts, at our discretion. We have no obligation to monitor content and are not responsible for what members post. Answers and opinions from other members are their own and are not checked or endorsed by us.
• If you delete your account. Your profile, membership records and sign-in information are removed. To keep conversations intact, posts you made in public areas may remain, shown as from a former member and no longer linked to you. Records of purchases are kept where the law requires it, without your name.

7. Community Rules and Acceptable Use

When you use the Services you agree not to:

• post anything unlawful, threatening, harassing, hateful, defamatory, sexually explicit, or harmful to minors;
• post spam, advertising or promotions we have not allowed, or the same message repeatedly;
• impersonate anyone, or post another person's private or personal information;
• post or link to malware, or content that infringes copyright, trademarks or other rights;
• share members-only or paid content outside the area where it was provided to you;
• use bots, scrapers or other automated means to access, collect from or overload the Services, except as we allow in writing;
• probe, scan or test the security of the Services, or try to get around any access control, limit or security measure;
• create accounts to get around a suspension or a limit; or
• use the Services in any way that harms us, other members or the public.

8. Our Content and Copyright Complaints

Apart from content posted by members, the Services and their content, including text, videos, images, software, designs and the names and logos we use, belong to SiggySOFT LLC or its licensors and are protected by law. You may view and use them for your personal use of the Services. Any other use needs our written permission.

If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice through our contact page with the subject "Copyright notice", including: your signature (a typed name is enough); a description of the work you say is infringed; the address of the material on our site; your contact details; a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner. A member whose content is removed may send a counter-notice with the information the law requires. We may remove content and close the accounts of members who repeatedly infringe.

9. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback about the Services or our software, we may use them without any obligation to you.

10. Other Services and Links

The Services may include or link to services run by others, such as video players, payment processors and other websites. Their own terms and privacy policies apply, and we are not responsible for them.

11. Information on This Site

Articles, videos, guides, reviews, product comparisons and community answers are general information and opinion, offered for education and entertainment. They are not professional advice for your situation. Equipment, software, networks and devices differ; follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidance, and back up your files before you change anything. You use any information or procedure from the Services at your own risk.

12. Disclaimers

The Services, and everything provided through them, are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and any warranty that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or free of harmful components, or that content is accurate or complete.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SiggySOFT LLC and its owners, members, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, goodwill or equipment, arising out of or related to the Services or these Terms, even if we were told such damages were possible. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Services or these Terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Services in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or fifty U.S. dollars. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limits, so some of these may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless SiggySOFT LLC and its owners, members, employees and agents from any claims, losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your content, your use of the Services, or your breach of these Terms or of anyone's rights.

15. Changes to the Services and to These Terms

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We may also update these Terms; the effective date at the top shows the latest version. If a change is significant, we will give reasonable notice, for example on the site or by e-mail. Continuing to use the Services after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us through our contact page and try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Any claim that is not resolved will be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Ohio, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by law, claims must be brought individually and not as part of a class or representative action.

17. General

• These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any terms shown at the time of a purchase are the entire agreement between you and us about the Services.
• If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours, for example as part of a sale or reorganization of our business.
• You agree that we may send notices and records to you electronically, including by e-mail and on the site.
• Sections that by their nature should survive the end of your use of the Services, including sections 5, 6, 8 and 12 to 17, survive.
