    Tap and Tonic LLC (a.k.a. “we” or “us” or the “Company”) is excited to have you as user and member of the community. The following terms and conditions (collectively, these “Terms of Service”) apply to your use of Manifest (the “App”), including any content, functionality and services offered on or via the App. The Terms of Service also include our Privacy Policy.

    We want to keep our relationship with you as lean and informal as possible, but please read the Terms of Service carefully before you start using Manifest, because by using the App you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Service.

    Should you disagree with some of the provisions herein, you can either uninstallthe App (although we’ll be sad to see you go!), or contact us at support@tapandtonic.net.

  2. Changes to the Terms of Service and the App

    Manifest is a work in progress, meaning that a lot will change in the near future. We reserve the right to update the App and these Terms of Service from time to time, at our discretion. We will make sure to announce any major change in a prominent way. Your continued use of the App following the publishing of updated Terms of Service means that you accept and agree to the changes.

  3. Accessing the App, Security and Privacy

    We are working hard on improving Manifest, but we can’t guarantee that the App will be up and running 24/7. We also reserve the right to suspend or restrict access to some features to users. In any case, we will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the App is unavailable at any time or for any period, nor for any data loss (see also section 7 below).
