Terms of service

These terms are between you and Diego Holland, of 560 Esaw Dr, Elgin, SC 29045, United States(“we”, “us”). They apply from the moment you create an account. If you do not accept them, do not create one. The privacy policy forms part of this agreement.

TapCardLink lets you publish your professional contact details as a public page at a permanent address, with a QR code that encodes that address. Visitors open the page and can save your details to their phone. You can edit what the page says at any time without the address or the code changing.

The service costs $72 a year, paid when you publish. That subscription keeps your card published and your address reserved, and includes one printed NFC card a year, posted to you. If the price changes, it changes for new subscriptions; yours stays what you agreed to until you renew.

If a subscription lapses, the published card stays where it is. Somebody who scans a code off a business card should never be shown a paywall where a phone number belongs, so the page keeps resolving; what locks is your dashboard, until you pay again.

Twelve months after a lapse the account is deleted, and that is the one moment the address stops working. We email you three times before it happens. The address is then retired rather than released, so a code already printed can never lead to somebody else’s card.

• You must be 16 or older, and the details you publish must be your own or belong to a business you are authorised to represent.
• One person, one account. Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for what is done through your account.
• Give us an email address that reaches you. It is how we send a password reset, and how we would tell you about a problem with your card.

Your card is a page on our domain, which means what it says is our problem as well as yours. You may not use the service to publish:

• Anybody else’s identity. Impersonating a real person or a business you have no authority to represent is the one thing that will get a card removed fastest, and without warning.
• Contact details belonging to someone who did not agree to have them published.
• Malware, phishing pages, or links to either — including through a link shortener that hides where it goes.
• Sexual content, content that sexualises minors in any way, content that harasses or threatens a person, or content that incites violence against anyone.
• Anything unlawful where you are, or where we are.

Anyone can report a card at tapcardlink.com/report, including people without an account. Reports are read by a person.

If a card breaks section 4 we may unpublish it, suspend it, or close the account behind it. Where we can, we tell the owner what was wrong and give them a chance to fix it. Where a card is impersonating somebody, or is actively harming people, we act first and explain afterwards.

If you think we got it wrong, reply to the notice or write to support@tapcardlink.com. We will look again.

Everything you put on your card stays yours. You give us only the permission we need to run the service: to store your content, and to display it publicly at your card address and in the previews that link to it. That permission ends when you delete the content, except for backups already taken, which expire on their own schedule.

The software, the design and the name remain ours. Every public card carries a small footer credit; removing it is not permitted.

We work hard to keep published cards reachable, because a card that does not load is a printed QR code that does not work. But the service is provided as it is. We do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we do not promise any particular level of uptime.

Practically: keep your own copy of your contact details. Do not let this service be the only place they exist.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost business or lost opportunities, or for anything arising from your content or from another user’s. Where we are liable, our total liability is limited to what you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited under the law of the State of South Carolina, United States. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

You can delete your account at any time from Settings. Deletion removes your card and your analytics and releases your address; the address may then be claimed by somebody else, so any code pointing at it could later lead to a different card. Consider whether you would rather unpublish and keep the address.

We may close an account that breaks section 4, or an account dormant for more than twenty-four months after we have emailed the address on file and had no reply. We may discontinue the service entirely, in which case we will give at least ninety days’ notice by email so you can move.

We will email account holders at least thirty days before a material change takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the new terms; if you would rather not, delete your account before then and nothing further applies.

These terms are governed by the law of the State of South Carolina, United States, and its courts have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law where you live.

Before anything formal, write to support@tapcardlink.com. Most things are a misunderstanding and can be sorted out that way.
