If you're asking for the community's help, you should not have this in the TOS.
"access all or any part of the Service in order to build a product or service which competes with the Service;"
I have been working on an open-source forum platform for a while now. I do not intend to copy anything or break your TOS. Haven't used your app yet, please delete my account.
Honestly, I am a little upset that you chose to put such a thing in the TOS. Maybe you just copied some template, in which case please update it.
- buro9 13y agoHey jeswin, Thanks for catching that. We actually put our legals under source control to help find flaws, answer questions about them, resolve issues and to make it easier to see changes over time. https://github.com/microcosm-cc/legal/ https://github.com/microcosm-cc/legal/ I hadn't seen that particular clause and agree with you. I'm fine with you or anyone else, who is working on anything else, accessing and using the service even if you are a competitor. It's an error on my part as the lawyers have included that as a default phrase and I do not agree with it either. We've even open-sourced the frontend under a license that would conflict with this clause: https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microweb https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microweb I'm speaking to the lawyers again on Monday, and will raise a Github issue for it to ensure it's resolved. It will be dealt with, that is not how I want our terms to be, and my apologies for not catching that specific clause when I reviewed the documents.
