Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your use of the website located at https://opire.dev and any related services provided by Opire LLC.

By accessing https://opire.dev, you agree to abide by these Terms of Service and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with these Terms of Service, you are prohibited from using or accessing this website or using any other services provided by Opire LLC.

We, Opire LLC, reserve the right to review and amend any of these Terms of Service at our sole discretion. Upon doing so, we will update this page. Any changes to these Terms of Service will take effect immediately from the date of publication.

These Terms of Service were last updated on August 24, 2024.

Limitations of Use

By using this website, you warrant on behalf of yourself, your users, and other parties you represent that you will not:

Registration and Payments

To access and utilize the services provided by Opire LLC, users are required to register and create an account. During registration, it is imperative that all information provided be accurate, current, and complete. Users must promptly update their account information to reflect any changes. Users are solely responsible for maintaining the security of their account credentials and for all activities that occur under their account. In the event of unauthorized access to your account, you must notify Opire LLC immediately. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to protect your account information.

Upon account creation, and when making payments, users must provide financial information relevant to the chosen payment method, which may include credit card details. Stripe processes all payments on our platform. Opire LLC does not process or retain any financial information directly; instead, Stripe manages all financial data in accordance with their own Terms of Service, which you must agree to and comply with.

Opire offers various subscription plans that provide benefits, including discounted service fees and access to exclusive features, such as webhooks. These subscriptions are available with monthly or annual billing options. Subscription tiers cannot be changed until the next renewal period. However, subscriptions can be paused or cancelled at any time. No refunds will be provided for any portions of the subscription fee already paid, but users will retain access to subscribed services until the end of the current billing cycle. For example, if a user cancels a monthly subscription, access to the services continues until a month has elapsed since the start of the subscription; for an annual subscription, access continues until the end of the year.

Creation and Fulfillment of Bounties

Users may create financial incentives known as "Bounties" to prompt the resolution of specific issues in software projects. These Bounties are intended to attract developers who can address and resolve these issues. When a developer successfully resolves an issue associated with a Bounty, they are entitled to receive 100% of the Bounty amount. The user who posts the Bounty is responsible for covering all associated costs, including a service fee of 4% to Opire and transaction fees charged by our payment processing partner, Stripe. The total amount paid by the Customer includes the Bounty, Opire's fee, and applicable Stripe transaction fees. Upon successful payment confirmation through Stripe Checkout, the funds are transferred directly to the developer’s Stripe account.

It is important to note that while Opire LLC facilitates the posting and resolution of these Bounties, the contractual relationship is directly between the customer and the developer. Opire LLC is not responsible for the failure of any Customer to pay a Bounty, and the obligation to pay for the service provided rests solely with the Customer. This structure ensures that Developers receive the agreed-upon amount for their services, while Opire serves solely as the platform provider and not as a party to the transactions.

Dispute Resolution and Platform Intervention

While Opire is not obligated to intervene in disputes between Customers and Developers, we may, at our discretion, contact a Customer in response to complaints received from Developers regarding non-payment. This contact is not mandatory and is intended as a facilitation service rather than an enforcement measure. Users are encouraged to resolve their disputes independently, using Opire as a platform for communication and resolution where possible.

Intellectual Property and User Responsibilities

When you use our website or its associated services to post, upload, share, or otherwise transmit content covered by intellectual property rights, such as code, documentation, or other materials, you retain ownership over your content. You grant Opire LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly display, translate, or create derivative works from your content. This licensing is consistent with your privacy preferences and governed by our Privacy Policy. You may terminate this license at any time by removing your content or deleting your account, but the license will persist for any commercial or sponsored content that remains active. We are also permitted to use your username and other identifying information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

By engaging with the Opire platform, whether by creating Bounties or participating in development tasks, you agree to abide by these terms and the operational procedures outlined by Opire LLC. You acknowledge that while Opire facilitates the transactions and postings of Bounties, it does not bear responsibility for the actions of individual users or the outcomes of engagements initiated through the platform.

Ethical Use Policy

Opire has implemented algorithms and automatic detection systems designed to identify and mitigate unethical behavior on our platform. This includes, but is not limited to, actions such as Customers systematically failing to pay Bounties even after a Developer has successfully completed the stipulated tasks. Should such behavior be detected, Opire will take action to prevent these users from creating new Bounties. The affected user's ability to create Bounties will be disabled until such time as they have rectified their outstanding obligations and demonstrated compliance with our ethical use standards.
