​

Our company is called Hive Founders Limited. We are registered in England with company number 14061640 and registered address at 71-75 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9JQ.

​

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully, as they will apply to you each time you use our website at hivefounders.net (our “Website”), any of the resources or tools that we provide and any emails or other electronic correspondence between us (collectively, our “Services”).

 

By using any of our Services, you confirm that you agree to these Terms and Conditions, so if you do not agree to them, you must leave the Website immediately and not use it.

​

THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US

​

These Terms and Conditions create a legally binding contract between us.

 

Here is what that contract says:

​

What you are allowed to do

​

You are allowed to access our Website and use our Services, for your own personal use, provided that you are over 16. If you are under 16, you will need a parent to use the Services on your behalf.

​

You are allowed to link to our Website, as long as you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation, or take advantage of it, or suggest any kind of endorsement or association between us.

​

You can share content on social media (and we provide social sharing buttons so you can do that), but only for non-commercial purposes.

​

You may take screenshots of, or download material from, our Website, as long as you keep any copyright notices, or branding intact and do not use any illustrations, photographs, video or graphics separately from any accompanying text.

​

For all of the above, we grant you a limited, revocable, royalty-free, non-sublicensable licence to access and use our Services for information only.

​

What you are not allowed to do

​

We have to protect what we have created, so the list of what you cannot do is longer than what you can do. You must not (and you must not assist or permit anyone to):

​

• Use any of our content in any way that could be infringing to our rights (including our intellectual property rights) or to anybody else’s rights, including privacy rights.
