Welcome to Git ‘n’ Coffee (gitncoffee.com). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Git ‘n’ Coffee’s website and services (the “Service”), which allow you to host and collaborate on Git repositories.

By using Git ‘n’ Coffee, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Who Can Use Git ‘n’ Coffee #

You must be at least 13 years old and legally able to enter into a contract to use Git ‘n’ Coffee.

If you are under the legal age to use this Service in your jurisdiction or if local laws require parental consent, you may only use Git ‘n’ Coffee with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian.

Git ‘n’ Coffee currently only supports individual (personal) accounts. Support for organizations and teams is planned, but not yet available. Once available, those features may be subject to additional terms.

You may use Git ‘n’ Coffee for personal, academic, or professional purposes as an individual.

2. Your Account #

To use Git ‘n’ Coffee, you need to create an account. You’re responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it.

You must provide accurate and up-to-date information when creating your account. Do not share your login credentials.

3. Your Content and Repositories #

You retain ownership of any code, data, or materials ("Your Content") you upload to Git ‘n’ Coffee.

By uploading content to Git ‘n’ Coffee, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, display, and process Your Content to operate and improve the Service.

Git ‘n’ Coffee does not use Your Content (including code, repositories, or metadata) to train or fine-tune artificial intelligence or machine learning models. However, if your repository is public, it may be accessed by others (including third parties) who may use that content for purposes beyond Git ‘n’ Coffee’s control, including AI training.

You are responsible for the content you upload and the licenses you apply. Public repositories are visible to others, but your content is not open source or reusable by others unless you explicitly include an open source license file in your repository.

By default, repositories on Git ‘n’ Coffee are public. If you keep your repository public, you grant each user of Git ‘n’ Coffee a non-exclusive license to use, display, and perform your Content, but only as permitted by the license you include with your repository.

If you do not include a license file, others may view your code but do not have permission to use, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from it.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of third-party content complies with applicable licenses.

Do not upload content you don’t have the rights to use, or that violates laws, infringes on intellectual property, or contains malware or abusive content.

Currently, all repositories on Git ‘n’ Coffee are public and visible to other users and the general public.

Collaboration features are provided "as-is." Git ‘n’ Coffee is not responsible for disputes, data loss, unauthorized changes, or any other issues resulting from actions taken by collaborators.

Availability and Durability #

Git ‘n’ Coffee makes reasonable efforts to ensure the availability and durability of Your Content. Specifically, each repository is stored on at least two independent servers (not including backups) to reduce the risk of data loss due to hardware or system failure.
