When using the website in any way, you are also agreeing to comply with the terms set forth in our Privacy Policy and with all other legal notices, conditions and guidelines posted on the website, which we are entitled to update without notice. Therefore, we encourage you (the "User") to periodically check this page.

CRABLY Platform can change and update the Terms of Service of this website at any time without notice to the users.

4. REGISTRATION

Our web-based service allows users over 18 (eighteen) years old to sign up in order to create and update an online website. During the trial period, the User only needs to provide a valid email address, a password and a name for the website.

After the trial period, in order to keep the services active or add other services you must provide full name, valid email address, phone number, full address, CPF (in case you are Brazilian citizen), website name, password, Skype (optional), Facebook (optional), Twitter (optional), and also, in case the user represents a company: company name, Taxpayer or VAT number or the company registration number.

After the final registration, you will obtain a CRABLY login and you will be solely responsible for all the activity in your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. Each created website will be originally hosted in http://mysite.crably.com (“mysite” will be the name of your website). You will be able to buy a domain from us or to redirect to CRABLY your domain purchased from another company, but this will only be possible after paying the license - which can be done at all times. When choosing a domain, the website will be accessed directly via that domain. Regarding the use of the Service, you agree to maintain and update true, accurate and updated information in your details.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or if CRABLY Platform has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, outdated or incomplete, we may fully or partially suspend or close your account and refuse all current or future use of the Service.

Once registered, each account holder gets its own website and may post specific "Content". You also agree to ensure that every person authorized to use the user login is aware and agrees in writing to the terms of this Agreement.

To use the service, you must have access to the Internet, Javascript system installed in the browser, either directly or through devices that access web-based content. You must pay all fees associated with Internet access. In addition, you must provide all the required equipment to make such Internet connection, including a computer with web access, noting that CRABLY Platform administration is only optimized for some browsers, which means it won’t work properly in others (e.g. Internet Explorer 5, 6, 7; Opera, etc.).

The service we offered may include certain communications between CRABLY Platform and the USERS, such as service announcements and administrative messages.

4.1. WHAT IS A CRABLY PLAN?

The Crably Plan will entitle the User to have a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use the Crably Platform. Thus the User can manage its created web site, being able to access the Backend and Frontend of the mentioned website. This use is only available upon payment of a fee (which includes a support package that includes, at least, hosting, security and system updates).

The website can only be hosted on Crably.com servers.

The use includes the ability to insert and change the content of the website, to edit the theme’s CSS in use, to load and store media to be displayed on the website. The content storage is limited by the Crably.com team, depending on the packages and prices available in Crably’s website.

4.2. HOW DOES THE PLAN CRABLY WORKS?
The Crably Plan consists of:
  • Crably Platform
  • Theme (design)
    • Official themes created by Crably
    • Themes created or adapted by the Crably team.

Each Crably website will be mandatorily associated with a Crably Plan with the corresponding address in the Crably platform. This address in the Crably platform has by its very nature a subdomain (e.g. http://mysite.crably.com) chosen by the User.

In alternative, there is the option to associate a domain to the website, which can be purchased at any time at Crably.com or another website preferred by the user. When the domain is purchased on a web site other than Crably.com, the User will be responsible for configuring DNS, redirecting its domain to the Crably.com server IP.

The domain and subdomain should be the name of the website itself and some websites may be challenged, amended or disabled for intellectual property reasons or by decision of Crably IVS.

All Crably plans include a free shared SSL certificate, which is used to secure the access to the data stored in the Crably Platform.
