These Terms of Purchase and Service are a legally binding contract between you and Glowforge regarding your purchase of any Product from Glowforge (whether purchased directly from us or indirectly from another source) and your use of the Service (each defined below). Please read the following terms carefully.
By clicking on the “buy”, “buy now”, “purchase”, “pay now”, “checkout”, or other similar button to make a purchase, or by otherwise purchasing a Product, or by clicking “I accept,” or by downloading or installing software or otherwise accessing or using the service, you will be presented with and agree that you have read and understood, and, as a condition to your purchases and use of the service, you agree to be bound, by the following terms and conditions (“Terms”).
If you are not eligible, or do not agree to the Terms, then you should not purchase any product and you do not have our permission to use the service. Your purchase of a product and use of the service, and Glowforge’s provision of any product or the service to you, constitutes an agreement by Glowforge and by you to be bound by these Terms.
If you are making a purchase from outside the United Kingdom, these terms do not apply and you should visit https://glowforge.com/terms to find the terms which are applicable to you. We comply with all applicable laws and these terms and conditions apply to the extent legally permissible.
The following definitions apply throughout these Terms:
2.1 Overview. Glowforge makes available Products and Services that enable users to create Prints. To use a Product, you must register for an account and connect to our Service, which allows you to access Content and create Prints. You must be connected to the Service in order to use the wireless hardware Product, access Content, and create Prints.
2.2 Eligibility.
Service. You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. If you are between 16 and 18 years old, you must have the consent of your parent or guardian on your behalf and only use the Service under their direct supervision. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 16 years old; (b) if you are between 16 and 18 years old, you have the consent of your parent or guardian on your behalf and will only use the Service under their direct supervision; (c) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (3) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

If you are between 16 and 18 years old, you may make a purchase with the approval of your parent or guardian. By making a purchase from Glowforge, you represent and warrant to us that you are at least 18 years old, or if you are between 16 and 18 years old, that you have the necessary parental approval to proceed with such purchase.
Entity Users. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.
2.3 Accounts and Registration. To use a Product, and to access most features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your name, email address, or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password.
2.4 User Accounts. Each user must have their own account, must have no more than one account, and you also agree that you will not allow others to use your account. If any person, other than yourself, uses your account, you will be in violation of these Terms and we may take such measures as we deem necessary in our discretion, including termination of your account with us and ceasing to provide you with access to the Service. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at support-uk@glowforge.com.

You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws when using the Product. It is your responsibility to determine whether your use of the Product complies with local laws, regulations, and ordinances. For example, Glowforge makes units available with air filters, but you are still responsible for determining whether the air filter meets any standards required by the laws in your jurisdiction. You may request information about the Product from Glowforge to assist you in making your determination, but Glowforge may not have such information available and will not be liable for errors in that information or for your determination. If you do not have sufficient information to determine whether your use of the Product will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances, then you should not purchase the Product. You must also use each Product in strict accordance with the applicable user documentation. The wireless hardware Product will not work without an Internet connection and an account on the Service. Use of the Service is subject to these Terms. If you violate the Terms, you may not be able to use the wireless hardware Product or certain features of the wireless hardware Product.

3.2 Your Content.
Your Content Generally. Certain features of the Service may permit you to upload, create, or post Content on the Service. You retain any copyright and other proprietary rights that you may hold in the Content that you post to or create in the Service, except as modified by your own action or actions to grant a license in accordance with Section 3.2.2 or 3.2.3. When you upload, create or post Content on the Service, you waive the enforcement of all moral rights you may potentially have in such Content under applicable law. We may provide you with the opportunity to create, submit, post, display, transmit, perform, publish, distribute, or broadcast Content to us or on the Service. Any Content shall be subject to our Privacy Policy. When you create or make available any Content it becomes a Contribution, and you thereby represent and warrant that:
License Grant to Your Private Content. If you upload or create Content in a private area of the Service, you grant Glowforge a worldwide, non-exclusive, assignable, sublicensable, royalty-free, fully paid right and license to host, store, transfer, display, perform, reproduce, and modify such Content for the full period of time that you maintain your account on the Service, solely to enable your use of that Content or to resolve any issues that may arise with the Service. Glowforge will treat any Content you upload or create in a private area of the Service as confidential. If you delete your Content from a private area of the Service, Glowforge may, but is not obligated to, retain copies of your deleted Content.
License Grant to Your Public Content. If you upload, create, post, publish or share Content to a public area of the Service (e.g. the Glowforge community forum), you grant Glowforge a worldwide, non-exclusive, assignable, sublicensable royalty-free, fully paid perpetual right and license (with the right to sublicense) to host, store, transfer, display, perform, reproduce, modify, and distribute such Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels now known or later developed. For other users of the Service, any Content you post or create in a public area of the Service is considered Community Content. You retain your right to license your Content to other people at your sole discretion, unless you enter into an agreement with Glowforge that states otherwise. If you delete your Content from a public area of the Service, you may maintain that Content in a private area of the Service. Glowforge may, but is not obligated to, retain copies of your Content that you have deleted from a public area of the Service. Deletion of Content from a public area of the Service does not affect rights of users in the copies of that Content downloaded before you deleted it, or Prints already created incorporating your Content. Additionally, Glowforge may allow you to monetize your Content. Such an arrangement will be conditional on your acceptance of other terms in a separate agreement with Glowforge.
Your Content Representations and Warranties. You are solely responsible for your Content and the consequences of submitting, posting, publishing, creating, or sharing Content. By submitting, posting, publishing, creating, or sharing Content, you affirm, represent, and warrant that:
No Responsibility of Glowforge. Glowforge is under no obligation to make available, edit, or control Content that you post, publish, or create, and will not be in any way responsible or liable for your Content. Glowforge may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any Content that in our sole judgment may not be compatible with our Products, violate these Terms, or is otherwise objectionable. Except as set forth herein, Glowforge claims no rights in the Content You generate using the Services. You are accountable for the Content you generate and its subsequent uses. No use of the Content can contravene any provision as stated herein.
3.3 Community Content Disclaimer. You understand that when using the Service you will be exposed to Community Content from a variety of sources and acknowledge that such Community Content may be defective (e.g., contains an error that causes your materials, Print, or Product to be damaged), inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against Glowforge with respect to Community Content. If notified by a user or content owner that Community Content allegedly does not conform to these Terms, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove the Community Content, which we reserve the right to do at any time and without notice. For clarity, Glowforge does not permit copyright-infringing activities on the Service.

Glowforge does not control and does not have any obligation to monitor Content made available by third parties, including Community Content, or the use of the Service by its users. You acknowledge and agree that Glowforge reserves the right to, and may from time to time, monitor any and all information transmitted or received through the Service for operational and other purposes. If at any time Glowforge chooses to monitor Content, Glowforge still assumes no responsibility or liability for Content or any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of Content. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Without limiting any other rights or remedies under these Terms, Glowforge may suspend or terminate access to any Content if Glowforge no longer has the rights to such Content or believes such Content could become the subject of an infringement claim.

If that is the case, we will notify you before we accept your order. Orders cannot be delivered to PO Box or similar addresses. Glowforge will not be responsible or liable for any delay or failure to deliver due to any cause which is unavoidable or beyond Glowforge’s reasonable control.

We will remit the price paid in full (subject to any deduction we are entitled to make due to your use of or damage to the Product). However, this payment will not include your cost of returning the Product to us. If you received any promotional or other discount when you paid, any payment will only reflect the amount you actually paid in GBP. Refunds are made using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase, unless agreed otherwise. Any promotions or reward programs that are reliant on a purchase of a Product are null and void upon its return.
4.14 Product Information; Changes. While we have taken reasonable steps to depict the Product as accurately as possible through the photographs and other images featured on our websites, the detailing (such as color, pattern and texture, etc.) you see on-screen will depend on your monitor and, as such, may not exactly reflect the actual detailing of a Product when you receive it. In addition, Glowforge expressly reserves the right, at any time and without notice, to discontinue the production or change the specifications of any Product or the Service.
4.15 Subscription Service. The Service may include additional, premium features that include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). Glowforge may offer a variety of Subscription Services, including special promotional plans, which may have differing conditions and limitations, which will be disclosed to you at sign-up or in other communications made available to you. If you decide to activate a Subscription Service, you authorize Glowforge to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on the payment due date for the accrued sums. The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date all applicable fees for the next subscription period, and the monthly fees as well as the Subscription Billing Date will be clearly displayed to you when you activate a Subscription Service. The subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic subscription fee to your account. We will bill the periodic subscription fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your payment information). Glowforge may increase the subscription fee for any subsequent subscription period if Glowforge gives you sufficient advance notice of the increase to the email address which you provide to Glowforge, and you will be given the ability to terminate. Glowforge may decrease the subscription fee for any subsequent subscription period without notice. You may cancel a Subscription Service by contacting us at: support-uk@glowforge.com, and in some cases you may be entitled to a refund. Your refund will be determined on a pro-rata basis for the unexpended Subscription Service period.
4.16 Trial Periods. From time to time, Glowforge may offer trials of Subscription Services for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (a “Trial”).For some Trials, Glowforge may require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial. By providing such details you agree that Glowforge may automatically begin charging you for the Subscription Service on the first day following the end of the Trial and thereafter in accordance with Section 4.15. If you do not want this charge, you must cancel the applicable subscription service before the end of the trial within your account or by contacting Glowforge at support-uk@glowforge.com.

6.1 Modification of these Terms. We reserve the right to change these Terms on a going-forward basis at any time. Please check these Terms periodically for changes.

You may not make use of the Service except as expressly authorized by Glowforge. Glowforge reserves all rights in and to the Product, Service, and Glowforge Content not granted expressly in these Terms, or other Additional Service Terms. Glowforge may be independently creating content that may be similar to or competitive with your Content or Community Content. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as restricting or preventing Glowforge from creating new content and exploiting any of Glowforge’s intellectual property rights, without any obligation to you.
6.3 Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
6.4 General. These Terms and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Glowforge regarding your purchase of the Product and use of the Service. We are required by law to advise you that contracts may be concluded in the English language only and that no public filing requirements apply. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, these Terms may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of all parties to these Terms. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of these Terms, Sections 3.1.3, 3.8, 5, and 6, along with the Privacy Policy, and any other accompanying agreements, will survive.
6.5 Rights of Third Parties. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any person who is not a party to these Terms has no rights under these Terms nor has any benefit conferred upon them by virtue of these Terms (whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise)).
6.6 Force Majeure. Glowforge will not be liable to you for any delay in delivery of the Product or your inability to access the Service, including any delay or lack of access due to an event beyond Glowforge’s reasonable control, such as an act of God, terrorism, war, political insurgence, insurrection, riot, civil unrest, act of civil or military authority, uprising, earthquake, flood, epidemic, pandemic, labor shortage due to illness or illness mitigation, act of government, or any other natural or man-made condition outside of Glowforge’s control. We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these Terms or any Order Contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control.
6.7 Dispute Resolution. You agree that any dispute between you and us regarding these Terms or any Order will only be dealt with by the English courts.
