Terms, PostHog style

The internet has wrecked our attention span.

(Thanks, Zuck!) Long paragraphs are boring. So we've summarized our terms for you. Here's the gist in a familiar format you can probably skim while driving. (Or 💩.)

Summary of our terms

Semi-important legal notice from our over-zealous legal team:(Serif font demonstrates how important this disclaimer is)The following is not legally binding. It is a summary of PostHog's terms. Please read the full terms of service and don't rely on 140 characters of "terms" at a time.

Both of us (you and PostHog) need to keep each other’s secrets safe. We can share general info about how our tool is used, but we’ll never share secrets without asking you first. ReplyRepostLike

If you use more than you paid for, there will be extra charges. Not paying can stop the service, and you’re responsible for any taxes. ReplyRepostLike

The full (but still easy to understand) terms

For your sanity, we've summarized each paragraph of legalese with plain English.

(This was inspired by 500px who did it first and deserve full credit! We tried to do it better but we couldn't.)

You probably realize this, but the summaries below each section in blockquotes (under the "What it means subheaders)in the right-hand column exist solely to aid your comprehension and alleviate boredom. They're not legally binding.

Should you wish to be legally bound to us, please stick with the actual terms which is everything not in blockquotesin the left column.

(Can you believe we actually had to clarify this?)
